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.

- 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).

- 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).

Condition
Some customers may comment that the driver or passenger heated seat system exhibits the
following symptoms:
- Heated seat turns on and then turns off within 1 to 10 minutes (at any 60 second interval).
- The system doesn't get warm enough, or gets warm very slowly.
- The heated seat system is completely inoperative.
Upon further review, DTCs B2430 0D and/or B2180 0D may be set as a current or history code if
the vehicle is equipped with heated seats only (RPO KA1). Also, the LED indicator for the heated
seats may come On and then flash after approximately 1 minute, then go out.
If the vehicle is equipped with heated and cooled seats (KB6), the switch LED indicator may stay
On, but the heated and cooled seat is inoperative. The fan will continue to blow air.
Cause
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
The heated seat control circuit terminal and/or ground terminal in harness connector X1 to the
memory seat module (MSM) may have lost tension and is loose. The reduced terminal tension
increases resistance in the connector, which may result in the symptoms described above.
Heated and Cooled Seats (RPO KB6)
The thermo-electric device (TED) in the seat cushion/seat back ventilation heating and cooling
module may have become inoperative.
Correction
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to combine information from bulletins 06-08-45-008D and
07-08-45-001E. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Numbers 07-08-45-001E and 06-08-45-008D
(Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Important Installation of an electric brake controller and the wiring connections outlined in this
bulletin are the responsibility of the dealership or customer. These repairs should never be charged
to warranty. If you have any questions, please consult with your District Service Manager.
Some customers may request to have an aftermarket trailer brake controller added to their vehicle,
OR in lieu of the factory integrated trailer brake controller (ITBC) (RPO JL1).
Installation Instructions
Starting with the new 2007 full-size utilities and pickups and 2008 HUMMER H2, there is no longer
an electric trailer brake controller pigtail harness.
To install an aftermarket trailer brake controller, use the four blunt cut wires located near the data
link connector.
The following steps should be used to complete the installation.
Important Ensure that the ringlets are not interfering with the UBEC cover.
1. Place the terminal on the larger of the two studs at the front of the electrical center and secure
with an M8 nut. This is circuit #242 to stud #2, to
power the aftermarket trailer brake controller.
Important The fuse is already present in the vehicle to power the electrical trailer brake controller
system.
2. ONLY For Vehicles Equipped with JL1 - Locate connector X126 or X115 (varies with vehicle
build; refer to SI) near the underhood fuse block.
Refer to SI Document ID# 1849049 - I/P Harness-Engine Compartment. Circuit 47 from the blunt
cut wires near the data link connector will end

at connector X126 terminal "G" or X115 terminal "B5." Obtain enough Dark Blue 12 gauge wire to
run from X126/X115 to the 7-way trailer connector at the bumper. On one end of the Dark Blue wire
attach terminal part number 15304732, located in Delphi Tray 8 and insert into X126 "G" or
terminal part number 15304720 located in Delphi Tray 19 and insert into X115 "B5." Run the Dark
Blue wire in its own conduit along the frame to the 7-way trailer connector at the bumper. Remove
circuit 47 from the 7-way trailer connector terminal "C" and tape the bare terminal and attach to the
harness. Attach terminal part number 12110853, located in Delphi Tray 4, to the other end of the
Dark Blue wire and insert it into the 7-way trailer connector terminal "C."
3. ONLY For Vehicles Equipped with JL1 - The Red/Black wire, circuit 242, must be connected to
stud #2 of the 30 Amp fuse of the underhood
fuse block. This wire is located between the left fender and the underhood fuse block.
Important This procedure will not result in any trailer brake related display messages to be set.
However, ITBC diagnostics will continue to function. If an ITBC fault is detected, a "Service Trailer
Brake System" message will be displayed on the driver information center (DIC) and an appropriate
DTC will be stored in the ITBC module. The operator will still be able to adjust gain and access the
"Trailer Gain / Output" display page in the DIC. However, the factory installed ITBC system will not
sense a trailer connection and will not provide output to the trailer.
4. Locate the trailer brake control circuits that are looped and taped to the main harness under the
instrument panel.
5. Pull the trailering wire harness down.
6. Match the vehicle harness label circuit functions to the trailer brake controller jumper harness
functions.
Important The color or wires to be joined together may not match.
- Dark Blue Wire: switched power from controller to trailer brakes
- Red with Black Stripe: fused vehicle power to electrical brake controller

Assembly Plant. If the customer desires auxiliary power at the trailer connector location (i.e.
refrigeration, battery charger or interior light in the trailer), complete the following steps to connect
circuit #742:
1. Locate the red/black wire, looped and taped to the chassis harness, below the brake master
cylinder. 2. Break the tape and route the wire to the front of the underhood electrical center.
Important Ensure that the ringlets are not interfering with the UBEC cover.
3. Place the terminal on the smaller of the two studs on the electrical center and secure with an M6
fastener. This is circuit #742 to stud #1 for
auxiliary power to the 7-way trailer connector.
4. ONLY for vehicles without RPO TP2 - Auxiliary Battery, install a 40 amp fuse to power the
circuit.
Important For vehicles equipped with RPO TP2 - Devices powered by this fuse will drain the
vehicle battery if left connected with the vehicle not running.

Control Module HVAC: Customer Interest A/C - Excessive Cabin Moisture/Reduced Window
Clearing
TECHNICAL
Bulletin No.: 11-01-38-001
Date: February 28, 2011
Subject: Excessive Cabin Moisture / Reduced Window Clearing (Reprogram HVAC System Control
Module)
Models:
2010-2011 Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe 2010-2011 GMC Sierra, Yukon,
Yukon XL, Yukon Denali, Yukon Denali XL All with RPO CJ3 or C67 (Manual Air Conditioning)
Condition
In rare cases, some customers may comment on excessive cabin moisture or difficulty keeping the
windows clear in low ambient temperatures.
Cause
This concern may be caused by the recirculation door being in the recirculation position while the
mode is set to a floor through defrost position.
Correction
Important DO NOT replace the HVAC control module for this concern.
Revised software has been developed to address this condition.
Technicians are to reprogram the HVAC Control Module using the Service Programming System
(SPS) with the latest software currently available in TIS2WEB.
When using a Tech 2(R) or a Multiple Diagnostic Interface (MDI) for reprogramming, ensure that it
is updated with the latest software version.

difficulty keeping the windshield clear in low ambient temperatures.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the airflow calibrations which can contribute to the above
condition. Calibration changes at the start of the 2010 model year may not meet some customers'
expectations. Testing has confirmed that defrost levels will meet requirements.
Correction
Important DO NOT replace the HVAC Control Module for this concern.
Reprogram the HVAC Control Module with the latest software calibration.
Important Select the correct calibration files for the appropriate vehicle configuration (body style)
and RPO codes.
A revised calibration has been developed to address this condition. Technicians are to reprogram
the HVAC Control Module using the Service Programming System (SPS) with the latest
calibrations available on TIS2WEB. Refer to HVAC System Control Module Programming and
Setup in SI.

Removal Procedure
1. Remove the electrical center cover. 2. Locate the relay. Refer to Electrical Center Identification
Views (See: Maintenance/Fuses and Circuit Breakers/Fuse/Application and ID) to
locate the electrical center where the relay exists.
Note: *
Always note the orientation of the relay.
* If equipped with a notch style relay; observe the location of the notch on the old relay to verify the
new relay is installed with the notch in the same location.
* Ensure that the electrical center is secure, as not to put added stress on the wires or terminals.
3. Using the J 43244 (1) position the tool on opposing corners of the relay (2).
Caution: Use J43244 to pull the relay straight out from the electrical center terminals. The use of
pliers or a flat bladed tool could damage the electrical center.

Bulletin Number 07-08-42-006D (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
The information contained in this bulletin applies to vehicles that are to be completed by a second
stage manufacturer (upfitter) and may need to have the Body Control Module (BCM) rear turn
signal bulb outage detection capability changed. All production vehicles will be manufactured with
one of the following BCM rear turn signal bulb outage detection software options:
1. A standard production vehicle will have BCM software that checks for two bulbs functioning in
each rear turn signal bulb circuit. If one or more
bulbs are inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) turn signal
indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108 and Canada Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
2. Certain 2500 and 3500 models can be ordered with a new option (RPO 9U5) where the BCM
checks for one bulb functioning in each rear turn
signal bulb circuit. If the bulb goes inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel
Cluster (IPC) turn signal indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)
108 and Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
3. A vehicle built with a pickup box delete or chassis cab option (RPO ZW9) will be produced with a
BCM program that has no turn signal bulb
outage detection capability (LED compatible). The IPC turn signal indicator will flash at the same
rate no matter how many turn signal bulbs are inoperative.
In some cases, the upfitter may wish to change the turn signal bulb outage detection capability so
that the turn signals work correctly with their upfit or to meet certain requirements. This will require
contacting the Techline Customer Support Center (TCSC) to open a case and obtain a Vehicle
Configuration Index (VCI) number. Advise the TCSC consultant which turn signal bulb outage
detection capability is needed:
1. Factory standard production TWO bulb outage detection. 2. Optional (RPO 9U5) ONE bulb
outage detection. NOTE: ONLY AVAILABLE ON CERTAIN 2007-2011 MODEL 2500 AND 3500
VEHICLES.
3. NO bulb outage detection (LED compatible).
The BCM can then be reprogrammed with the correct software.

Some technicians may experience an unsuccessful body control module (BCM) reprogramming
event, when choosing the Reprogram ECU selection on the Service Programming System (SPS).
The technician may also notice that when attempting to reprogram the BCM again after this
incident has occurred, the BCM may not complete the programming event.
This condition may be caused by the following:
- A reprogramming event that was interrupted due to a lack of communication between the vehicle
and the TIS2WEB terminal.
- The vehicle experienced low system voltage during the reprogramming event.
Important Do not replace the BCM for this condition.
SPS Programming Process Selection
Perform this procedure first.
1. If reprogramming has failed during the initial reprogramming event, back out of the SPS
application completely. 2. Re-select SPS from the TIS2WEB terminal application. 3. When
selecting the Programming Process , choose Replace and Program ECU , even though a new
BCM is NOT being installed. 4. Reprogram the BCM using the Service Programming System (SPS)
with the latest calibration available on TIS2WEB. Refer to the SPS procedures
in SI.
When using a multiple diagnostic interface (MDI) for reprogramming, ensure that it is updated with
the latest software version.
When using a Tech 2(R) for reprogramming, ensure that it is updated with the latest software
version.

During programming, the battery voltage must be maintained within the proper range of 12-15
volts. Only use the approved Midtronics(R) PSC 550 Battery Maintainer (SPS Programming
Support Tool EL-49642) or equivalent during programming.
BCM Still Fails to Reprogram
If the BCM still fails to reprogram perform this procedure:
1. Turn OFF the ignition, and remove the key. 2. Remove the fuses that power up the following
modules/components for a minimum of 2 minutes:
- BCM
- EBCM
- ECM
- IS LPS (located in the left IP fusebox)
- TCM
3. Open and close the driver door. Allow enough time for the retained accessory power (RAP) to
turn OFF. 4. Reinstall the fuses. 5. When selecting the Programming Process , choose Replace
and Program ECU , even though a new BCM is NOT being installed. 6. Reprogram the BCM using
the Service Programming System (SPS) with the latest calibration available on TIS2WEB. Refer to
the SPS procedures
in SI.
When using a multiple diagnostic interface (MDI) for reprogramming, ensure that it is updated with
the latest software version.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

The purpose of this bulletin is to provide a summary of the steps required for the technician to
install LPO dealer installed 20/22 inch accessory wheels on a full-size utility or pickup.
These wheel options are identified with the RPO code RPP (this designates the 17" wheel and tire
that will be removed by the dealer).
The following RPO codes designate the 20 inch or 22 inch accessory wheel that will be installed by
the dealer: VSA, VSB, VSC, VSF, VS3, VZJ, VZK, VS5, VS4, VSJ, VSK, VZH, VSN, VS8.
Vehicles with option RPP always require the following installation steps:
1. Install new accessory tire/wheel assemblies to the vehicle. 2. Reprogram the control modules for
the new tire/wheel size (steps 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 must be completed in order).
1. Contact TCSC to set-up the calibration database for the new tire size. 2. For 2009 and 2010
models, reprogram the EBCM (Electronic Brake Control Module) - use Tech 2(R) pass-thru
programming in the Service
Programming System (SPS).
3. Reprogram the ECM (Engine Control Module) - use Tech 2 pass-thru programming in the
Service Programming System (SPS).
3. Reset the tire type and pressure.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to perform a module set up for the RCDLR Module. Go to "Tire
Type/Pressure Selection". 2. Select correct tire type (P-metric) and select the new tire pressure
based on the new tire placard included with the accessory wheels.
4. Learn the new tire pressure monitor (TPM) sensors to the vehicle. 5. Install the new tire placard
included with the accessory wheels. 6. Set the inflation pressure of each tire to the new placard
value.

Subject: Info - Non-GM Parts and Accessories (Aftermarket)
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years and update to the new U.S. Fixed
Operation Manager (FOM) and Canada Warranty Manager (WM) names. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 04-06-04-054A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
The recent rise and expansion of companies selling non-GM parts and accessories has made it
necessary to issue this reminder to dealers regarding GM's policy on the use and installation of
these aftermarket components.
When a dealer is performing a repair under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, they are required to
use only genuine GM or GM-approved parts and accessories. This applies to all warranty repairs,
special policy repairs or any repairs paid for by GM. Parts and accessories advertised as being "the
same" as parts manufactured by GM, but not sold through GM, do not qualify for use in warranty
repairs, special policy repairs or any repairs paid for by GM.
During a warranty repair, if a GM original equipment part is not available through GM Customer
Care and Aftersales (GM CC&A;), ACDelco(R) distributors, other GM dealers or approved sources,
the dealer is to obtain comparable, non-GM parts and clearly indicate, in detail, on the repair order
the circumstances surrounding why non-GM parts were used. The dealer must give customers
written notice, prior to the sale or service, that such parts or accessories are not marketed or
warranted by General Motors.
It should also be noted that dealers modifying new vehicles and installing equipment, parts and
accessories obtained from sources not authorized by GM are responsible for complying with the
National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Certain non-approved parts or assemblies, installed
by the dealer or its agent not authorized by GM, may result in a change to the vehicle's design
characteristics and may affect the vehicle's ability to conform to federal law. Dealers must fully
understand that non-GM approved parts may not have been validated, tested or certified for use.
This puts the dealer at risk for potential liability in the event of a part or vehicle failure. If a GM part
failure occurs as the result of the installation or use of a non-GM approved part, the warranty will
not be honored.
A good example of non-authorized modification of vehicles is the result of an ever increasing
supply of aftermarket devices available to the customer, which claim to increase the horsepower
and torque of the Duramax(TM) Diesel Engines. These include the addition of, but are not limited to
one or more of the following modifications:
- Propane injection
- Nitrous oxide injection
- Additional modules (black boxes) that connect to the vehicle wiring systems
- Revised engine calibrations downloaded for the engine control module
- Calibration modules which connect to the vehicle diagnostic connector
- Modification to the engine turbocharger waste gate
Although the installation of these devices, or modification of vehicle components, can increase
engine horsepower and torque, they may also negatively affect the engine emissions, reliability
and/or durability. In addition, other powertrain components, such as transmissions, universal joints,
drive shafts, and front/rear axle components, can be stressed beyond design safety limits by the
installation of these devices.
General Motors does not support or endorse the use of devices or modifications that, when
installed, increase the engine horsepower and torque. It is because of these unknown stresses,
and the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a
policy that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining
warranty coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a
non-GM (aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is
subsequently removed. Refer to the latest version of Bulletin 09-06-04-026 (V8 Gas Engines) or
06-06-01-007 (Duramax(TM) Diesel Engines) for more information on dealer requirements for
calibration verification.
These same policies apply as they relate to the use of non-GM accessories. Damage or failure
from the use or installation of a non-GM accessory will not be covered under warranty. Failure
resulting from the alteration or modification of the vehicle, including the cutting, welding or
disconnecting of the vehicle's original equipment parts and components will void the warranty.
Additionally, dealers will NOT be reimbursed or compensated by GM in the event of any legal
inquiry at either the local, state or federal level that

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

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

Attention:
This bulletin applies to V8 gas powered engines ONLY. For Duramax(TM) diesel powered engines,
refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 08-06-04-006G.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2010 model year and information about
retrieving calibrations on a Global A vehicle. 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.

Bulletin Number 04-06-04-054A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
The recent rise and expansion of companies selling non-GM parts and accessories has made it
necessary to issue this reminder to dealers regarding GM's policy on the use and installation of
these aftermarket components.
When a dealer is performing a repair under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, they are required to
use only genuine GM or GM-approved parts and accessories. This applies to all warranty repairs,
special policy repairs or any repairs paid for by GM. Parts and accessories advertised as being "the
same" as parts manufactured by GM, but not sold through GM, do not qualify for use in warranty
repairs, special policy repairs or any repairs paid for by GM.
During a warranty repair, if a GM original equipment part is not available through GM Customer
Care and Aftersales (GM CC&A;), ACDelco(R) distributors, other GM dealers or approved sources,
the dealer is to obtain comparable, non-GM parts and clearly indicate, in detail, on the repair order
the circumstances surrounding why non-GM parts were used. The dealer must give customers
written notice, prior to the sale or service, that such parts or accessories are not marketed or
warranted by General Motors.
It should also be noted that dealers modifying new vehicles and installing equipment, parts and
accessories obtained from sources not authorized by GM are responsible for complying with the
National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Certain non-approved parts or assemblies, installed
by the dealer or its agent not authorized by GM, may result in a change to the vehicle's design
characteristics and may affect the vehicle's ability to conform to federal law. Dealers must fully
understand that non-GM approved parts may not have been validated, tested or certified for use.
This puts the dealer at risk for potential liability in the event of a part or vehicle failure. If a GM part
failure occurs as the result of the installation or use of a non-GM approved part, the warranty will
not be honored.
A good example of non-authorized modification of vehicles is the result of an ever increasing
supply of aftermarket devices available to the customer, which claim to increase the horsepower
and torque of the Duramax(TM) Diesel Engines. These include the addition of, but are not limited to
one or more of the following modifications:
- Propane injection
- Nitrous oxide injection
- Additional modules (black boxes) that connect to the vehicle wiring systems
- Revised engine calibrations downloaded for the engine control module
- Calibration modules which connect to the vehicle diagnostic connector
- Modification to the engine turbocharger waste gate
Although the installation of these devices, or modification of vehicle components, can increase
engine horsepower and torque, they may also negatively affect the engine emissions, reliability
and/or durability. In addition, other powertrain components, such as transmissions, universal joints,
drive shafts, and front/rear axle components, can be stressed beyond design safety limits by the
installation of these devices.
General Motors does not support or endorse the use of devices or modifications that, when
installed, increase the engine horsepower and torque. It is because of these unknown stresses,
and the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a
policy that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining
warranty coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a
non-GM (aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is
subsequently removed. Refer to the latest version of Bulletin 09-06-04-026 (V8 Gas Engines) or
06-06-01-007 (Duramax(TM) Diesel Engines) for more information on dealer requirements for
calibration verification.
These same policies apply as they relate to the use of non-GM accessories. Damage or failure
from the use or installation of a non-GM accessory will not be covered under warranty. Failure
resulting from the alteration or modification of the vehicle, including the cutting, welding or
disconnecting of the vehicle's original equipment parts and components will void the warranty.
Additionally, dealers will NOT be reimbursed or compensated by GM in the event of any legal
inquiry at either the local, state or federal level that

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

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 09-06-04-026B
Date: April 07, 2010
Subject: Identifying Non-GM (Aftermarket) Engine and Transmission Calibrations for V8 Gas
Engines Using Tech 2(R) or Global Diagnostic System (GDS)
Models:
2006-2010 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 Corporate Bulletin Number 08-06-04-006G.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2010 model year and information about
retrieving calibrations on a Global A vehicle. 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

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation
Engine Control Module Description
The powertrain has electronic controls to reduce exhaust emissions while maintaining excellent
driveability and fuel economy. The engine control module (ECM) is the control center of this
system. The ECM monitors numerous engine and vehicle functions. The ECM constantly monitors
information from various sensors and other inputs, and controls the systems that affect vehicle
performance and 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 malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL). When the ECM detects a malfunction, the ECM stores a diagnostic trouble
code (DTC). The problem area is identified by the particular DTC that is set. The control module
supplies a buffered voltage to various sensors and switches. Review the components and wiring
diagrams in order to determine which systems are controlled by the ECM.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Operation
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is located in the instrument panel cluster. The MIL will display
as either SERVICE ENGINE SOON or one of the following symbols when commanded ON:
The MIL indicates that an emissions related fault has occurred and vehicle service is required.
The following is a list of the modes of operation for the MIL:
* The MIL illuminates when the ignition is turned ON, with the engine OFF. This is a bulb test to
ensure the MIL is able to illuminate.
* The MIL turns OFF after the engine is started if a diagnostic fault is not present.
* The MIL remains illuminated after the engine is started if the control module detects a fault. A
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored any time the control module illuminates the MIL due to an
emissions related fault. The MIL turns OFF after three consecutive ignition cycles in which a Test
Passed has been reported for the diagnostic test that originally caused the MIL to illuminate.
* The MIL flashes if the control module detects a misfire condition which could damage the catalytic
converter.
* When the MIL is illuminated and the engine stalls, the MIL will remain illuminated as long as the
ignition is ON.
* When the MIL is not illuminated and the engine stalls, the MIL will not illuminate until the ignition
is cycled OFF and then ON.

Engine Control Module: Service and Repair
Engine Control Module Replacement
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: Record the current Engine Oil Life percentage, and use a scan tool to update the NEW ECM,
if replacing.
Removal Procedure
1. Record the current Engine Oil Life percentage, and use a scan tool to update the NEW ECM, if
replacing. 2. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the Warranty Information and add Saab
Warranty Information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 08-09-41-002E (Section 09 Restraints).
Condition
- Some customers may comment on an intermittent or current AIR BAG indicator or lamp being
illuminated on the instrument panel cluster (IPC). Important This bulletin only applies to the
following DTCs:
- Technicians may observe DTC(s) B0012 04, 0D, 0E; B0013 04, 0D, 0E; B0015 04, 0D, 0E;
B0016 04, 0D, 0E; B0019 04, 0D, 0E; B0020 04, 0D, 0E; B0022, B0023 04, 0D, 0E; B0033 04, 0D,
0E; B0040 04, 0D, 0E; B0042 or B0044 set as Current or in History in the sensing and diagnostic
module (SDM).
Cause
This condition may be caused by a loose, missing, or damaged connector position assurance
(CPA) retainer at a supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) module electrical connector, or a
deployment loop wiring harness electrical connector.
Correction

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.

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.

The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting

HISTORY DTC
If all readings are normal per Step 2 above, capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data, clear
DTCs and attempt to duplicate the fail conditions.
1. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
"HLLL" and the IMS state of "Neutral/Drive 6",
complete the following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM or low value,
Engine Torque >30 Nm.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Determine if the shift lever can be hung-up between Neutral and Drive 6. If so, there may be
excessive drag in the system.
- Move the shift lever through each detent position, ensuring positive detent feel. If any concern is
noted, remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement. Ensure that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer. If the vehicle has been returned to the dealer with this Freeze Frame bit
codes after repairs, contact the person(s) below in Step 4.
2. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of "HHLH"
and IMS state of "Blank", complete the
following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS >0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,

5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
5. Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.

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.

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.

Attention:
To properly correct this condition, you must follow both of the procedures to relocate the ECT
sensor and the engine coolant heater cord.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add cast iron block engine RPOs and to update the
Warranty Information coverage period. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 10-06-04-008
(Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illuminates after starting
the vehicle when they were using the engine coolant heater in very cold ambient temperatures.
This usually occurs in a range of -23 to -40°C (-10 to -40°F) or colder.
The technician may observe on a scan tool DTC P0116 and/or P1400 set as Current or in History.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the engine control module (ECM) determining that the ignition
OFF time requirement has been met at start-up and interpreting the temperature difference
between the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor and the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
as being outside of a calibrated range.
Correction
Important DO NOT replace the ECM for this condition.
Relocating the ECT Sensor
1. Turn ON the ignition with the engine OFF. 2. Perform the diagnostic system check - vehicle.
Refer to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in SI.
‹› If DTC P0116 and/or P1400 are set and the customer WAS using the engine coolant heater,
proceed to Step 3. ‹› If DTC P0116 and/or P1400 are set and the customer WAS NOT using the
engine coolant heater, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
List - Vehicle in SI.
3. Turn OFF the ignition.

Condition
Some customers may comment that the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illuminates after starting
the vehicle when they were using the engine coolant heater in very cold ambient temperatures.
This usually occurs in a range of -23 to -40°C (-10 to -40°F) or colder.
The technician may observe on a scan tool DTC P0116 and/or P1400 set as Current or in History.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the engine control module (ECM) determining that the ignition
OFF time requirement has been met at start-up and interpreting the temperature difference
between the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor and the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
as being outside of a calibrated range.
Correction
Important DO NOT replace the ECM for this condition.

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

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

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

Subject: Identifying Non-GM (Aftermarket) Engine and Transmission Calibrations for V8 Gas

2006-2010 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 Corporate Bulletin Number 08-06-04-006G.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2010 model year and information about
retrieving calibrations on a Global A vehicle. 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

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.

Warranty Information coverage period. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 10-06-04-008
(Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illuminates after starting
the vehicle when they were using the engine coolant heater in very cold ambient temperatures.
This usually occurs in a range of -23 to -40°C (-10 to -40°F) or colder.
The technician may observe on a scan tool DTC P0116 and/or P1400 set as Current or in History.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the engine control module (ECM) determining that the ignition
OFF time requirement has been met at start-up and interpreting the temperature difference
between the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor and the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
as being outside of a calibrated range.
Correction
Important DO NOT replace the ECM for this condition.
Relocating the ECT Sensor
1. Turn ON the ignition with the engine OFF. 2. Perform the diagnostic system check - vehicle.
Refer to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in SI.

Condition
Some customers may comment that the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illuminates after starting
the vehicle when they were using the engine coolant heater in very cold ambient temperatures.
This usually occurs in a range of -23 to -40°C (-10 to -40°F) or colder.
The technician may observe on a scan tool DTC P0116 and/or P1400 set as Current or in History.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the engine control module (ECM) determining that the ignition
OFF time requirement has been met at start-up and interpreting the temperature difference
between the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor and the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
as being outside of a calibrated range.
Correction
Important DO NOT replace the ECM for this condition.
Relocating the ECT Sensor
1. Turn ON the ignition with the engine OFF. 2. Perform the diagnostic system check - vehicle.
Refer to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in SI.
‹› If DTC P0116 and/or P1400 are set and the customer WAS using the engine coolant heater,
proceed to Step 3. ‹› If DTC P0116 and/or P1400 are set and the customer WAS NOT using the
engine coolant heater, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
List - Vehicle in SI.
3. Turn OFF the ignition.

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.

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

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

Note: A special anti-seize compound is used on the HO2S threads. The compound consists of
liquid graphite and glass beads. The graphite tends to burn away, but the glass beads remain,
making the sensor easier to remove. New, or service replacement sensors already have the
compound applied to the threads. If the sensor is removed from an exhaust component and if for
any reason the sensor is to be reinstalled, the threads must have anti-seize compound applied
before the reinstallation.
1. If reinstalling the old sensor, coat the threads with anti-seize compound GM P/N 12377953, or
equivalent.
Caution: Refer to Component Fastener Tightening Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Component Fastener Tightening Caution).

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection
Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn
Note: The Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn procedure is also required when the
following service procedures have been performed, regardless of whether DTC P0315 is set:
* An engine replacement
* A engine control module (ECM) replacement
* A crankshaft balancer replacement
* A crankshaft replacement
* A crankshaft position sensor replacement
* Any engine repairs which disturb the crankshaft to crankshaft position sensor relationship.
Note: The ECM monitors certain component signals to determine if all the conditions are met to
continue with the crankshaft position System Variation Learn Procedure.
1. Monitor the engine control module (ECM) for DTCs with a scan tool. If other DTCs are set,
except DTC P0315, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC) List - Vehicle (See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and
Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle) for
the applicable DTC that set.
2. Select the crankshaft position (CKP) variation learn procedure with a scan tool. 3. The scan tool
instructs you to perform the following:
Important: Close the hood.
Important: The engine must be at operating temperature.
1. Block drive wheels. 2. Set parking brake. 3. Apply and hold brake pedal.
Important: The vehicle must remain in PARK.
4. Start the engine.
Important: The scan tool monitors certain component signals to determine if all the conditions are
met to continue with the procedure. The scan tool only displays the condition that inhibits the
procedure. The scan tool monitors the following components:
* CKP sensors activity-If there is a CKP sensor condition, refer to the applicable DTC that set.
* Camshaft position (CMP) sensor activity-If there is a CMP sensor condition, refer to the
applicable DTC that set.
* Engine coolant temperature (ECT)-If the ECT is not warm enough, idle the engine until the engine
coolant temperature reaches the correct temperature.
4. Enable the CKP System Variation Learn Procedure with a scan tool. 5. Quickly apply and
release the accelerator pedal. 6. Test in progress.
Important: 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: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and
Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated Procedures/P Code Charts/P0315). If
any other DTCs set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle (See: Powertrain
Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code
Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle) for the applicable DTC that set.
7. The scan tool displays Learn Status: Learned this ignition. 8. Once the Learn Procedure has
successfully completed, and in order to store the crankshaft position system variation values in the
ECM, turn OFF
the ignition and verify all vehicle systems are OFF. This may take up to 2 minutes.

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

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

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.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Steering and Suspension > Sensors and
Switches - Wheels and Tires > Tire Pressure Sensor > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Page 1425
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
4. When the left rear sensor has been learned and a double horn chirp has sounded, the learn
process is complete and the RCDLR exits the learn
mode.
5. Ignition OFF, adjust all tires to the recommended pressures. 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).
Alternate Keyless Entry Transmitter or DIC Learn Enable Method
1. Ignition ON, initiate the TPM Learn Mode using one of the following procedures:
* On vehicles equipped with keyless entry, simultaneously press the keyless entry transmitters lock
and unlock buttons until a double horn chirp sounds indicating the Learn Mode has been enabled.
The left front turn signal will also be illuminated.
* On vehicles not equipped with keyless entry, press and release the driver information center
(DIC) INFO button until the TIRE LEARN message appears on the DIC display. Press and hold the
SET/RESET button until a double horn chirp sounds indicating the Learn Mode has been enabled.
The left front turn signal will also be illuminated.
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
4. When the left rear sensor has been learned and a double horn chirp has sounded, the learn
process is complete and the RCDLR exits the learn
mode.
5. Ignition OFF, adjust all tires to the recommended pressures. 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).

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to remove the contact information in Step 4 under
HISTORY DTC heading and update the models and model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 08-07-30-020D (Section 07 - Transmission).
The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

HISTORY DTC
If all readings are normal per Step 2 above, capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data, clear
DTCs and attempt to duplicate the fail conditions.
1. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
"HLLL" and the IMS state of "Neutral/Drive 6",
complete the following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM or low value,
Engine Torque >30 Nm.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Determine if the shift lever can be hung-up between Neutral and Drive 6. If so, there may be
excessive drag in the system.
- Move the shift lever through each detent position, ensuring positive detent feel. If any concern is
noted, remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement. Ensure that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer. If the vehicle has been returned to the dealer with this Freeze Frame bit
codes after repairs, contact the person(s) below in Step 4.
2. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of "HHLH"
and IMS state of "Blank", complete the
following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS >0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.

- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
5. Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.

Clutch Pedal Position Sensor Learn
Important: The clutch pedal position (CPP) sensor learn procedure is required when the following
service procedures have been performed regardless of whether DTC P080A is set:
* An engine control module (ECM) replacement
* A CPP sensor replacement
* Any repairs which affect the CPP sensor relationship
1. Install a scan tool. 2. Monitor the ECM for DTCs with a scan tool. If other DTCs are set, except
DTC P080A, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle (
See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic
Trouble Code Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle) for the applicable DTC
that set.
3. With a scan tool, select Clutch Pedal Position Learn under Module Setup in Manual
Transmission, and perform the following instructions
displayed on the scan tool screen.
Important: The CPP sensor learn procedure cannot be performed more than once per ignition
cycle. The clutch pedal needs to be fully depressed and held steady throughout this procedure in
order to perform a correct learning.
4. The scan tool will display under CPP Learn Status: Not Learned, In Process, Complete, Fail Low Volt, Fail - High Volt, or Fail Moving. The
scan tool will display under CPP Learn Status Complete if the process was successful.
5. If the scan tool indicates that DTC P080A ran and passed this ignition the CPP sensor learn
procedure is complete. If the scan tool indicates DTC
P080A failed or did not run this ignition, refer to DTC P080A (See: Powertrain
Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code
Tests and Associated Procedures/P Code Charts/P080A/Tremec 5-Speed (TZ0) - Manual
Transmission). If any other DTC is set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle (See:
Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic
Trouble Code Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle) for the applicable DTC.
6. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds after the learn procedure has successfully completed in
order to store the CPP sensor variation values in
ECM history.

WARRANTY ADMINISTRATION
Bulletin No.: 05-03-07-009C
Date: December 09, 2010
Subject: Wheel Alignment Specifications, Requirements and Recommendations for GM Vehicles
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks
Supercede: This bulletin is being extensively revised to provide technicians and warranty
administrators with an all inclusive guide for wheel alignments. PLEASE FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF
WITH THESE UPDATES BEFORE PERFORMING YOUR NEXT GM WHEEL ALIGNMENT
SERVICE. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 05-03-07-009B (Section 03 - Suspension).
Purpose
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide retail, wholesale and fleet personnel with General Motors'
warranty service requirements and recommendations for customer concerns related to wheel
alignment. For your convenience, this bulletin updates and centralizes all of GM's Standard Wheel
Alignment Service Procedures, Policy Guidelines and bulletins on wheel alignment warranty
service.
Important PLEASE FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THESE UPDATES BEFORE PERFORMING
YOUR NEXT GM WHEEL ALIGNMENT SERVICE.
The following five (5) key steps are a summary of this bulletin and are REQUIRED in completing a
successful wheel alignment service.
1. Verify the vehicle is in an Original Equipment condition for curb weight, tires, wheels, suspension
and steering configurations. Vehicles
modified in any of these areas are not covered for wheel alignment warranty.
2. Review the customer concern relative to "Normal Operation" definitions. 3. Verify that vehicle is
within the "Mileage Policy" range. 4. Document wheel alignment warranty claims appropriately for
labor operations E2000 and E2020.
The following information must be documented or attached to the repair order:
- Customer concern in detail
- What corrected the customer concern?
- If a wheel alignment is performed:
- Consult SI for proper specifications.
- Document the "Before" AND "After" wheel alignment measurements/settings.
- Completed "Wheel Alignment Repair Order Questionnaire" (form attached to this bulletin)
5. Use the proper wheel alignment equipment (preferred with print-out capability), process and the
appropriate calibration maintenance schedules.
Important If it is determined that a wheel alignment is necessary under warranty, use the proper
labor code for the repair. E2000 for Steering Wheel Angle and/or Front Toe set or E2020 for Wheel
Alignment Check/Adjust includes Caster, Camber and Toe set (Wheel alignment labor time for
other component repairs is to be charged to the component that causes a wheel alignment
operation.).
The following flowchart is to help summarize the information detailed in this bulletin and should be
used whenever a wheel alignment is performed.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Steering/Suspension - Wheel Alignment Specifications > Page 1554
Verify Original Equipment Condition of the Vehicle
- Verify that Original Equipment Tires and Wheels or Official GM Accessory Tires and Wheels are
on the vehicle.
- Verify that aftermarket suspension "Lift" or "Lowering" Kits or other suspension alterations have
NOT been done to the vehicle.
- Check for accidental damage to the vehicle; for example, severe pothole or curb impacts, collision
damage that may have affected the wheel alignment of the vehicle; e.g., engine cradles,
suspension control arms, axles, wheels, wheel covers, tires may show evidence of damage/impact.
- Check to be sure vehicle has seen "Normal Use" rather than abuse; e.g., very aggressive driving
may show up by looking at the tires and condition of the vehicle.
- Check for other additional equipment items that may significantly affect vehicle mass such as
large tool boxes, campers, snow plow packages (without the snowplow RPO), etc., especially in
trucks and cutaway/incomplete vehicles. Significant additional mass can affect trim height and
wheel alignment of the vehicle and may necessitate a customer pay wheel alignment when placed
semi-permanently in the vehicle (Upfitter instructions are to realign the vehicle after placement of
these types of items. (This typically applies to trucks and incomplete vehicles that can be upfit with
equipment such as the above.)
Customer Concerns, "Normal Operation" Conditions and "Mileage Policy"
Possible Concerns
The following are typical conditions that may require wheel alignment warranty service:
1. Lead/Pull: defined as "at a constant highway speed on a typical straight road, the amount of
effort required at the steering wheel to maintain the
vehicle's straight heading."
Important Please evaluate for the condition with hands-on the steering wheel. Follow the "Vehicle
Leads/Pulls" diagnostic tree located in SI to determine the cause of a lead/pull concern. Lead/Pull
concerns can be due to road crown or road slope, tires, wheel alignment or even in rare
circumstances a steering gear issue. Lead/pull concerns due to road crown are considered
"Normal Operation" and are NOT a warrantable condition -- the customer should be advised that
this is "Normal Operation."
Important Some customers may comment on a "Lead/Pull" when they hold the steering wheel in a
level condition. If so, this is more likely a "steering wheel angle" concern because the customer is
"steering" the vehicle to obtain a "level" steering wheel.
2. Steering wheel angle to the left or right (counter-clockwise or clockwise, respectively): Defined
as the steering wheel angle (clocking)
deviation from "level" while maintaining a straight heading on a typical straight road.
3. Irregular or Premature tire wear: Slight to very slight "feathering" or "edge" wear on the
shoulders of tires is NOT considered unusual and
should even out with a tire rotation; if the customer is concerned about a "feathering" condition of
the tires, the customer could be advised to rotate the tires earlier than the next scheduled
mileage/maintenance interval (but no later than the next interval). Be sure to understand the
customer's driving habits as this will also heavily influence the tire wear performance; tire wear from
aggressive or abusive driving habits is NOT a warrantable condition.
Important Slight or mild feathering, cupping, edge or heel/toe wear of tire tread shoulders is
"normal" and can show up very early in a tire/vehicle service mileage; in fact, some new tires can
show evidence of feathering from the factory. These issues do NOT affect the overall performance
and tread life of the tire. Dealer personnel should always check the customer's maintenance
records to ensure that tire inflation pressure is being maintained to placard and that the tires are
being rotated (modified-X pattern) at the proper mileage intervals. Wheel alignments are NOT to be
performed for the types of "Normal" Tire Feathering shown in Figures 1-4 below.

Figure 3: Tire Shoulder View Example 2 - "NORMAL" Tire "Feathering" Wear
Figure 4: Detail Side View of Tire Shoulder Area - "NORMAL" Tire "Feathering" Wear
Important When a wheel alignment is deemed necessary for tire wear, be sure to document on the
repair order, in as much detail as possible, the severity and type of tire wear (e.g., severe center
wear or severe inside or outside shoulder wear) and the position of the tire on the vehicle (RF, LF,
LR, RR). Please note the customer's concern with the wear such as, noise, appearance, wear life,
etc. A field product report with pictures of the tire wear condition is recommended. Refer to
Corporate Bulletin Number 02-00-89-002J and #07-00-89-036C.
4. Other repairs that affect wheel alignment; e.g., certain component replacement such as
suspension control arm replacement, engine cradle
adjustment/replace, steering gear replacement, steering tie rod replace, suspension strut/shock,
steering knuckle, etc. may require a wheel alignment.
Important If other components or repairs are identified as affecting the wheel alignment, policy calls
for the wheel alignment labor time to be charged to the replaced/repaired component's labor
operation time rather than the wheel alignment labor operations.
Important Vibration type customer concerns are generally NOT due to wheel alignment except in
the rare cases; e.g., extreme diagonal wear across the tread. In general, wheel alignments are
NOT to be performed as an investigation/correction for vibration concerns.
"Normal Operation" Conditions
Vehicle Lead/Pull Due to Road Crown or Slope:
As part of "Normal Operation," vehicles will follow side-to-side or left to right road crown or slope.
Be sure to verify from the customer the types of roads they are driving as they may not recognize
the influence of road crown on vehicle lead/pull and steering wheel angle. If a vehicle requires
significant steering effort to prevent it from "climbing" the road crown there may be an issue to be
looked into further.
Important
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Steering/Suspension - Wheel Alignment Specifications > Page 1556
A wheel alignment will generally NOT correct vehicles that follow the road crown since this is within
"Normal Operation."
Mileage Policy
The following mileage policy applies for E2020 and E2000 labor operations: Note
Wheel Alignment is NOT covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty for Express and Savana
Cutaway vehicles as these vehicles require Upfitters to set the wheel alignment after completing
the vehicles.
- 0-800 km (0-500 mi): E2000/E2020 claims ONLY allowed with Call Center Authorization. Due to
the tie down during shipping, the vehicle's suspension requires some time to reach normal
operating position. For this reason, new vehicles are generally NOT to be aligned until they have
accumulated at least 800 km (500 mi). A field product report should accompany any claim within
this mileage range.
- 801-12,000 km (501-7,500 mi):
- If a vehicle came from the factory with incorrect alignment settings, any resulting off-angle
steering wheel, lead/pull characteristics or the rare occurrence of excessive tire wear would be
apparent early in the life of the vehicle. The following policy applies:
- Vehicles 100% Factory Set/Measured for Caster/Camber/Toe - Escalade/ESV/EXT,
Tahoe/Suburban, Yukon/XL/Denali, Silverado/Sierra, Express/Savana, Corvette and
Colorado/Canyon: E2000/E2020 Claims: Call Center Authorization Required
- All Vehicles NOT 100% Factory Set/Measured for Caster/Camber/Toe as noted above:
E2000/E2020 Claims: Dealer Service Manager Authorization Required
- 12,001 km and beyond (7,501 miles and beyond): During this period, customers are responsible
for the wheel alignment expense or dealers may provide on a case-by case basis a one-time
customer enthusiasm claim up to 16,000 km (10,000 mi). In the event that a defective component
required the use of the subject labor operations, the identified defective component labor operation
will include the appropriate labor time for a wheel alignment as an add condition to the component
repair.
Important Only one wheel alignment labor operation claim (E2000 or E2020) may be used per VIN.
Warranty Documentation Requirements
When a wheel alignment service has been deemed necessary, the following items will need to be
clearly documented on/with the repair order:
- Customer concern in detail
- What corrected the customer concern?
- If a wheel alignment is performed:
- Consult SI for proper specifications.
- Document the "Before" AND "After" wheel alignment measurements/settings.
- Completed "Wheel Alignment Repair Order Questionnaire" (form attached to this bulletin)
1. Document the customer concern in as much detail as possible on the repair order and in the
warranty administration system. Preferred examples:
- Steering wheel is off angle in the counterclockwise direction by approximately x degrees or
clocking position.
- Vehicle lead/pulls to the right at approximately x-y mph. Vehicle will climb the road crown. Severe,
Moderate or Slight.
- RF and LF tires are wearing on the outside shoulders with severe feathering.
Important In the event of a lead/pull or steering wheel angle concern, please note the direction of
lead/pull (left or right) or direction of steering wheel angle (clockwise or counterclockwise) on the
repair order and within the warranty claim verbatim.
Important In the event of a tire wear concern, please note the position on the vehicle and where the
wear is occurring on the tire; i.e., the RF tire is wearing on the inside shoulder.
2. Document the technician's findings on cause and correction of the issue. Examples:
- Reset LF toe from 0.45 degrees to 0.10 degrees and RF toe from -0.25 degrees to 0.10 degrees
to correct the steering wheel angle from 5 degrees counterclockwise to 0 degrees.
- Reset LF camber from 0.25 degrees to -0.05 degrees to correct the cross-camber condition of
+0.30 degrees to 0.00 degrees on the vehicle.
- Front Sum toe was found to be 0.50 degrees, reset to 0.20 degrees.
3. Print-out the "Before" and "After" wheel alignment measurements/settings and attach them to the
Repair Order or if print-out capability is not
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Steering/Suspension - Wheel Alignment Specifications > Page 1557
available, measurements may also be clearly and legibly handwritten into the Wheel Alignment
Repair Order Questionnaire attached to this bulletin.
4. Attach the Wheel Alignment Repair Order Questionnaire below along with the print-out of
"Before" and "After" wheel alignment measurements to
the Repair Order and retain for use by GM.
Wheel Alignment Equipment and Process
Wheel alignments must be performed with a quality machine that will give accurate results when
performing checks. "External Reference" (image-based camera technology) is preferred. Please
refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-00-89-029B: General Motors Dealership Critical Equipment
Requirements and Recommendations.
Requirements:
- Computerized four wheel alignment system.
- Computer capable of printing before and after alignment reports.
- Computer capable of time and date stamp printout.
- Racking system must have jacking capability
- Racking system must be capable of level to 1.6 mm (1/16 in)
- Appropriate wheel stops and safety certification
- Built-in turn plates and slip plates
- Wheel clamps capable of attaching to 20" or larger wheels
- Racking capable of accepting any GM passenger car or light duty truck
- Operator properly trained and ASE-certified (U.S. only) in wheel alignment
Recommendations:
Racking should have front and rear jacking capability.
Equipment Maintenance and Calibration:
Alignment machines must be regularly calibrated in order to give correct information. Most
manufacturers recommend the following:
- Alignment machines with "internal reference" sensors should be checked (and calibrated, if
necessary) every six months.
- Alignment machines with "external reference" (image-based camera technology) should be
checked (and calibrated, if necessary) once a year.
- Racks must be kept level to within 1.6 mm (1/16 in).
- If any instrument that is part of the alignment machine is dropped or damaged in some way,
check the calibration immediately.
Check with the manufacturer of your specific equipment for their recommended service/calibration
schedule.
Wheel Alignment Process
When performing wheel alignment measurement and/or adjustment, the following steps should be
taken:
Preliminary Steps:
1. Verify that the vehicle has a full tank of fuel (compensate as necessary). 2. Inspect the wheels
and the tires for damage. 3. Inspect the tires for the proper inflation and irregular tire wear. 4.
Inspect the wheel bearings for excessive play. 5. Inspect all suspension and steering parts for
looseness, wear, or damage. 6. Inspect the steering wheel for excessive drag or poor return due to
stiff or rusted linkage or suspension components. 7. Inspect the vehicle trim height. 8. Compensate
for frame angle on targeted vehicles (refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications in SI).
Satisfactory vehicle operation may occur over a wide range of alignment angles. However, if the
wheel alignment angles are not within the range of specifications, adjust the wheel alignment to the
specifications. Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications in SI. Give consideration to excess loads,
such as tool boxes, sample cases, etc. Follow the wheel alignment equipment manufacturer's
instructions.
Measure/Adjust:
Important Prior to making any adjustments to wheel alignment on a vehicle, technicians must verify
that the wheel alignment specifications loaded into their wheel alignment machine are up-to-date
by comparing these to the wheel alignment specifications for the appropriate model and model year
in SI. Using incorrect and/or outdated specifications may result in unnecessary adjustments,
irregular and/or premature tire wear and repeat customer concerns

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Steering/Suspension - Wheel Alignment Specifications > Page 1558
Important When performing adjustments to vehicles requiring a 4-wheel alignment, set the rear
wheel alignment angles first in order to obtain proper front wheel alignment angles.
Perform the following steps in order to measure the front and rear alignment angles:
1. Install the alignment equipment according to the manufacturer's instructions. 2. Jounce the front
and the rear bumpers 3 times prior to checking the wheel alignment. 3. Measure the alignment
angles and record the readings.
If necessary, adjust the wheel alignment to vehicle specification and record the before and after
measurements. Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications in SI.
Important Technicians must refer to SI for the correct wheel alignment specifications. SI is the only
source of GM wheel alignment specifications that is kept up-to-date throughout the year.
Test drive vehicle to ensure proper repair.

Alignment: Description and Operation 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.

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

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

Alignment: Description and Operation Setback Description
Setback Description
Setback applies to both the front and the rear wheels. Setback is the amount that one wheel may
be aligned behind the other wheel. Setback may be the result of a road hazard or a collision. The
first clue is a caster difference from side-to-side of more than 1 degree.

be aligned behind the other wheel. Setback may be the result of a road hazard or a collision. The
first clue is a caster difference from side-to-side of more than 1 degree.
Thrust Angles Description
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Description and Operation > Caster
Description > Page 1572
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.
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.
Wander Description
Wander Description
Wander is the undesired drifting or deviation of a vehicle to either side from a straight path with
hand pressure on the steering wheel. Wander is a symptom of the vehicle's sensitivity to external
disturbances, such as road crown and crosswind, and accentuated by poor on-center steering feel.
Scrub Radius Description
Scrub Radius Description
Ideally, the scrub radius is as small as possible. Normally, the SAI angle and the centerline of the
tire and the wheel intersect below the road surface, causing a positive scrub radius. With struts, the
SAI angle is much larger than the long arm/short arm type of suspension. This allows the SAI angle
to intersect the camber angle above the road surface, forming a negative scrub radius. The smaller
the scrub radius, the better the directional stability. Installing aftermarket wheels that have
additional offset will dramatically increase the scrub radius. The newly installed wheels may cause
the centerline of the tires to move further away from the spindle. This will increase the scrub radius.
A large amount of scrub radius can cause severe shimmy after hitting a bump. Four-wheel drive
vehicles with large tires use a steering damper to compensate for an increased scrub radius. Scrub
radius is not directly measurable by the conventional methods. Scrub radius is projected

Alignment: Testing and Inspection
Trim Height Inspection
Note: Before performing any of the following adjustment procedures, inspect the entire suspension
system for worn or damaged suspension components. Replace those components before any
measurements or adjustments are performed. Also check for any collision damage.
Trim Height Measurements
Trim height is a predetermined measurement relating to vehicle ride height. Incorrect trim heights
can cause the vehicle to bottom 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:
* Ensure the vehicle is on a level surface, such as an alignment rack.
* Set the tire pressures to the pressure 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).
* Ensure that the suspension is fully supporting the vehicle.
* If the vehicle is equipped with automatic level control, ensure that the system is functioning
properly.
* Check for installed after market accessories or modifications that could affect trim height
measurements:
- Tire and wheel sizes other than production
- Lifting or lowering kits
- Wheel Opening Flares
- Ground Effects
* Ensure that the passenger and rear compartments are empty, except for the spare tire.
* Check the fuel level. Add additional weight if necessary to simulate a full tank of fuel. (One U.S.
gallon of gasoline weighs approximate 6.5 lbs. One liter of gasoline weighs 0.70 kg.)
* Close all doors, lift gate/trunk and the hood.
* Remove the alignment rack floating pins.
Z Height Measurement
Note: For vehicles equipped with torsion bars, check the Z height before performing the alignment.
The Z height dimension measurement determines the proper ride height for the front end of the
vehicle. Vehicles equipped with torsion bars use adjust arms in order to adjust the Z height
dimension. Vehicles without torsion bars have no adjustment and could require replacement of
suspension components.
1. Jounce the front suspension of the vehicle by pushing the vehicle down and lifting up. 2. Allow
the vehicle to settle and take a measurement.

level directly under the front end of the front
attachment bolt of the lower control arm (A).
5. While keeping the level in contact with the knuckle reference surface, adjust the level up/down
until the bubble indicates it is horizontally level. 6. Measure the distance between the center of the
bolt and the top of the level for your first measurement 7. Keep the top edge of the level on the
reference surface of the steering knuckle (C) and move the level directly under the rear end of the
rear
attachment bolt of the lower control arm (B).
8. Measure the distance between the center of the bolt and the top of the level for your second
measurement. 9. Average the measurements between the step 6 and step 8.
10. Record the 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/Tire and Wheel Runout 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/Power Steering).
* 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).

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) supplies voltage to the fuel pump control module (FPCM) when
the ECM detects that the ignition is ON. The voltage from the ECM to the FPCM remains active for
2 seconds, unless the engine is in Crank or Run. While this voltage is being received, the FPCM
closes the ground switch of the fuel pump and also supplies a varying voltage to the fuel tank pump
module in order to maintain the desired fuel rail pressure.
The fuel system is an electronic returnless on-demand design. 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 is contained by the fuel
pump module inside the fuel tank. The fuel pump supplies high pressure fuel through the fuel filter
and the fuel feed pipe to 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 pump module contains a reverse flow check valve. The check
valve maintains fuel pressure in the fuel feed pipe and the fuel rail in order to prevent long cranking
times.

Throttle/Idle Learn
Description
The engine control module (ECM) learns the airflow through the throttle body 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 throttle body coking. Anytime the throttle body airflow rate changes, for
example due to cleaning or replacing, the values must be relearned.
An engine 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.

Spark Plug: Testing and Inspection
Spark Plug Inspection
* Verify 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, replace with a colder plug
- Pre-ignition causing spark plug and/or engine damage , replace with a hotter plug
* 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, or 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 will cause arcing to ground.
* Inspect the insulator (2) for cracks. All or part of the electrical charge may arc through the crack
instead of the electrodes (3, 4).
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Tune-up and Engine Performance Checks > Spark Plug > Component
Information > Specifications > Page 1621
* Inspect for evidence of improper arcing.
- Measure the gap between the center electrode (4) and the side electrode (3). 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.
Visual Inspection
* Normal operation - Brown to grayish-tan with small amounts of white powdery deposits are
normal combustion by-products from fuels with additives.
* Carbon fouled - Dry, fluffy black carbon, or soot caused by the following conditions:
- Rich fuel mixtures
* Leaking fuel injectors
* Excessive fuel pressure
* Restricted air filter element
* Incorrect combustion
- Reduced ignition system voltage output
* Weak ignition coils
* Worn ignition wires
* Incorrect spark plug gap
- Excessive idling or slow speeds under light loads can keep spark plug temperatures so low that
normal combustion deposits may not burn off.
* Deposit fouling - Oil, coolant, or additives that include substances such as silicone, very white
coating, reduces the spark plug intensity. Most powdery deposits will not affect spark plug intensity
unless they form into a glazing over the electrode.

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.

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
- The generator
- The A/C compressor
- The engine cooling fan
- The water pump, if belt driven
The drive belt system may use 2 belts. The drive belt (1) is thin so that it can bend backwards and
has several ribs to match the grooves in the pulleys. The drive belts are made of different types of
rubbers - chloroprene or EPDM - and have different layers or plies 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 has an idler pulley, which is used to add wrap to the adjacent pulleys.
A/C Compressor Drive Belt

The outward appearance of the belt (1) is similar to the current design serpentine belt. The
reinforcing cord provides its unique qualities. The belt cord is made of a polyamid material. The
polyamid cord is more elastic than the more traditional aramid or polyester cord designs. A
tensioner is not needed.
Polyamid cord, when combined with a more elastic backing compound, ensures the belt is able to
maintain the specified tension within the specified range of usage.

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

Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection Drive Belt Rumbling and Vibration Diagnosis
Drive Belt Rumbling and Vibration Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids
The accessory drive components can have an affect on engine vibration. Vibration from the engine
operating may cause a body component or another part of the vehicle to make rumbling noise.
Vibration can be caused by, but not limited to the air conditioning (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 or felt as a lump in the belt. 5. Small amounts of pilling is normal
condition and acceptable. When the pilling is severe the drive belt does not have a smooth surface
for proper operation. 9. Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that the wrong bolt,
nut, spacer, or washer was installed. 11. This step should only be performed if the water pump is
driven by the drive belt. Inspect the water pump shaft for being bent. Also inspect the water pump
bearings for smooth operation and excessive play. Compare the water pump with a known good
water pump. 12. Accessory drive component brackets that are bent, cracked, or loose may put
extra strain on that accessory component causing it to vibrate.

Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection Drive Belt Falls Off and Excessive Wear Diagnosis
Drive Belt Falls Off and Excessive Wear Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids
If the drive belt repeatedly falls off the drive belt pulleys, this is because of pulley misalignment.
An extra load that is quickly applied on released by an accessory drive component may cause the
drive belt to fall off the pulleys. Verify the accessory drive components operate properly.
If the drive belt is the incorrect length, the drive belt tensioner may not keep the proper tension on
the drive belt.
Excessive wear on a drive belt is usually caused by an incorrect installation or the wrong drive belt
for the application.
Minor misalignment of the drive belt pulleys will not cause excessive wear, but will probably cause
the drive belt to make a noise or to fall off.
Excessive misalignment of the drive belt pulleys will cause excessive wear but may also make the
drive belt fall off.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table. 2. This inspection is to verify
the condition of the drive belt. Damage may of occurred to the drive belt when the drive belt fell off.
The drive belt may of been damaged, which caused the drive belt to fall off. Inspect the belt for
cuts, tears, 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 two or three pulleys.
If a misaligned pulley is found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation
procedure of that pulley. 5. Inspecting the pulleys for being bent should include inspecting for a
dent or other damage to the pulleys that would prevent the drive belt from not seating properly in all
of the pulley grooves or on the smooth surface of a pulley when the back side of the belt is used to
drive the pulley. 6. Accessory drive component brackets that are bent or cracked will let the drive
belt fall off. 7. Inspection 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.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2010 model year and to include the Hybrid
models. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-06-04-037H (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion
System).
Condition
Some customers may comment about the check engine light being illuminated. They may also
comment that their vehicle is difficult to fill with fuel or when filling, the pump continuously shuts off
before the tank is full.
When checking the vehicle for DTCs, the ECM may report one or more of the following DTCs set
as current or in history: P0442, P0446, P0449 or P0455.
Cause
The EVAP canister vent solenoid (CVS) valve draws fresh air into the system through a vent.
Under certain operating conditions, dirt and dust intrusion into the EVAP CVS fresh air
intake/venting system, may result in restricted air flow.
Under certain operating conditions, water, if ingested into the EVAP CVS fresh air intake/venting
system, may reach the CVS valve causing corrosion in the CVS valve, and may cause restrictions
in the fresh air intake path, when the valve is in the closed position.
Correction (1999-2007 Classic/Old Style Models)
After following the published SI diagnostics and determining that the EVAP canister vent valve is
the cause of the MIL light, replace the existing EVAP canister vent valve assembly with a new
assembly. This new assembly is a sealed unit that is designed to be vented through a remote filter
box. To ensure correct installation, follow the procedures below.
Important DO NOT replace the EVAP canister assembly for this concern unless it fails the leak test.

the dealer: VSA, VSB, VSC, VSF, VS3, VZJ, VZK, VS5, VS4, VSJ, VSK, VZH, VSN, VS8.
Vehicles with option RPP always require the following installation steps:
1. Install new accessory tire/wheel assemblies to the vehicle. 2. Reprogram the control modules for
the new tire/wheel size (steps 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 must be completed in order).
1. Contact TCSC to set-up the calibration database for the new tire size. 2. For 2009 and 2010
models, reprogram the EBCM (Electronic Brake Control Module) - use Tech 2(R) pass-thru
programming in the Service
Programming System (SPS).
3. Reprogram the ECM (Engine Control Module) - use Tech 2 pass-thru programming in the
Service Programming System (SPS).
3. Reset the tire type and pressure.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to perform a module set up for the RCDLR Module. Go to "Tire
Type/Pressure Selection". 2. Select correct tire type (P-metric) and select the new tire pressure
based on the new tire placard included with the accessory wheels.
4. Learn the new tire pressure monitor (TPM) sensors to the vehicle. 5. Install the new tire placard
included with the accessory wheels. 6. Set the inflation pressure of each tire to the new placard
value.

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

Condition
Some customers may comment on a fluid leak. Upon investigation, the technician may find fluid
leaking from the power steering system. Please use the following information to assist in diagnosis.
Diagnostic Information
Important All potential leaks should be completely cleaned and identified before attempting to
repair or replace any power steering components.
1. Start diagnosis by inspecting the fluid level in the power steering reservoir. If the fluid level is
NOT low, a careful analysis of the condition is
necessary as it may involve a different type of fluid leak.
2. Visually inspect the components where the fluid has accumulated. 3. Completely clean off any
fluid residue from the suspect components. 4. Apply tracing powder to the suspect components.
This is an effective way to determine the source of a leak. As an alternative, fluorescent dye
(such as Kent Moore J 28431-6) may be added to the power steering fluid.
5. Start the vehicle and allow the power steering system to reach normal operating temperatures.
6. Turn the steering wheel to the stops in each direction while bumping the steering wheel against
the stops 3-4 times. This will build maximum
steering system pressure and help identify the source of the leak if present.
7. Determine the source of the leak. 8. If a repeatable leak is found, refer to the following tables to
determine the proper corrective action needed.
Repairable Leaks
Non- Repairable Leaks
*If fluid is observed at the adjuster plug during the initial visual inspection, then refer to the
following:
- Seepage at the adjuster plug may not necessarily indicate an active leak. Power steering fluid is
used during the manufacturing of the gear/rack. The fluid used at assembly is pushed into the
pinion area during assembly. The adjuster plug and the area below the pinion are not positively

sealed. Fluid trapped in this area during assembly may seep from the adjuster plug. The rack
should not be replaced for this condition.
- You can distinguish seepage from an active leak by removing the left tie rod boot clamp and
inspecting for the presence of fluid at the inner tie rod.
- If no fluid is found in the left tie rod boot, replace the boot clamp and clean the seepage from the
rack. No further action is needed.
- If fluid is found in the left tie rod boot, replace the gear assembly.

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.

Condition
Some customers may comment on a pop or clunk type noise while turning or driving on uneven
road surfaces. This noise can be heard and/or felt at either the driver's or front passenger floor pan
area.
Cause
Under certain conditions, normal movement between the frame and the #1, #2 or #3 body mounts
may cause this noise to occur.
Diagnosis
1. If the vehicle is equipped with aftermarket (non-GM Accessory) running boards or the running
board is mounted using the body mount bolt,
remove the running boards prior to test driving the vehicle. This will eliminate the running boards as
the possible cause of the noise.
2. Install the J-39570 Chassis Ears to the frame rail at or near the body mounts. 3. Test drive the
vehicle to identify which mount is suspect.
Correction
Install an insulator at the suspect mount(s). The insulator should be installed between the upper
portion of the body mount and the frame bracket. The #1 mount is the mount located just under the
A-pillar. The #2 mount is the mount located just under the B-pillar. The #3 mount is the mount
located just under the C-pillar. Use the procedure listed below.
1. Raise the vehicle on the hoist. It is recommended to use a four-post lift or strap the vehicle frame
to the hoist arms. 2. For the left side mounts only, remove the intermediate park brake cable.
Perform the following steps:
1. Remove the nut from the park brake equalizer. 2. Remove the intermediate cable from the
equalizer. 3. Depress the retaining tabs that secure the park brake cable to the frame. 4. Pull
slightly on the cable from the mounting area in order to provide slack for body movement without
binding the cable.
3. Remove all of the body mount bolts on the side being repaired. 4. Properly support the body at
the body mount area.
Caution When you remove the body mount, do NOT separate the frame from the body more than is
necessary. Possible personal injury and damage to multiple parts may result.

Bulletin Number 10-08-61-001 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide guidance to GM dealers when performing repairs that
involve the removal of the body mount bolts. Technicians may discover that one of the cab mount
bolts won't loosen from the vehicle. The bolt may act like the nut is cross-threaded or no longer
secured to the floorpan of the vehicle.
The cab mounted cage nut may have bent or broken loose allowing the nut to spin. If the nut is
allowed to spin, it may prevent the bolt from loosening. The front cab mount nuts are welded to the
body structure and are not involved with this bulletin.
The cage nut assembly must be accessed from inside of the vehicle if this condition occurs. Some
of the cage nuts have rectangular access plates in the floor of the passenger compartment. These
plates are located above the affected bolt. On extended cab vehicles it is necessary to create
access holes in the rear floor area to reach the rear cage nut.
Creating Access Hole (Extended Cab Vehicles Only)
Use the following steps to create an access hole in the rear floor area of extended cab vehicles.
This procedure only applies to the rear set of mounting bolts.
Note
This procedure below is for the left side of the vehicle. The procedure and measurements are the
same for both the left and right side procedures.
1. Remove the seat located above the affected bolt. Refer to Rear Seat Replacement in SI. 2.
Partially remove (pull back) the floor covering (carpet) to expose the seat mounting stud area of the
floor.
3. Apply masking tape to the repair area as shown.

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

Rear Axle Lubricant Level Inspection (8.6, 9.5 LD Axle)
Note: All axle assemblies are filled by volume of fluid during production. They are not filled to reach
a certain level. When checking the fluid level on any axle, variations in the readings can be caused
by factory fill differences between the minimum and the maximum fluid volume. Also, if a vehicle
has just been driven before checking the fluid level, it may appear lower than normal because the
fluid has traveled out along the axle tubes and has not drained back to the sump area. Therefore, a
reading taken five minutes after the vehicle has been driven will appear to have a lower fluid level
than a vehicle that has been stationary for an hour or two. Remember that the rear axle assembly
must be supported to get a true reading.
1. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle (See: Vehicle
Lifting/Service and Repair). 2. Ensure the vehicle is level. 3. Inspect the rear axle for leaks. Repair
as necessary. 4. Clean the area around the rear axle fill plug.

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

Specifications > Page 1930
- 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.

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

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.

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.

Warning).
Caution: Refer to Brake Fluid Effects on Paint and Electrical Components Caution (See: Brakes
and Traction Control/Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings).
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 (Manual) (See:
)Hydraulic Brake System Bleeding (Pressure) (See: )Hydraulic Brake System Bleeding (Two-mode
Hybrid) (See: ).
* 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Fuse Block > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2156
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.

Probing Electrical Connectors
Probing Electrical Connectors
Note: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position
assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals.
Front probe
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Fuse Block > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2158
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
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

(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.

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
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

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.

Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2162
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Fuse Block > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2163
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
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Fuse Block > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2164
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.

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.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Fuse Block > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2181
* In some cases Bosch will actually be printed on the connector. If Bosch does not appear on the
connector, look for the Bosch logo. The Bosch logo is a circle with a blunted arrow inside. This logo
can appear anywhere on the connector and is often very small.
* In some cases Delphi will actually be printed on the connector. If Delphi is not printed on the
connector, look for PED. In both cases there is no specific orientation for Delphi or PED and they
can appear anywhere on the connector.

* Most Molex connectors will have the Molex logo on the dresscover of the connector. In some
cases the connectors may have MX followed by another letter. The third letter indicates where the
connector was made. A connector with MXD is a Molex connector made in Detroit.
Sumitomo has a unique symbol on their connector and possibly a part number. The symbol is
similar to that of a diamond lying on its side, similar to that shown. The logo could appear anywhere
but the most common place is at the wire side of the housing.
* Tyco/AMP has many different and unique connector designs. Some may or may not have
identifiable marks on them.

Repair Procedure
Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals.
The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping.
In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed.
The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool
has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped.
The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same
time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair
Micro 64 terminals.
Note: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long
enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough,
splice a small length of the same gauge wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on
the added wire.

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

1. Disconnect the connector from the component.
2. Locate the nose piece locking tabs that are positioned on the side of the connector nose piece.
The connector nose piece acts as a terminal positive
assurance (TPA) and may be referred to as such.
3. Use a small flat-blade tool to push in one of the locking tabs while gently pulling on the same
side of the nose piece. 4. Repeat the procedure for the other locking tab and remove the nose
piece. 5. Remove the wire dress cover. The following is a general procedure for wire dress cover
removal. Use this procedure as a guide, some dress cover
removal procedures may vary.

Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2197
8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat
procedure for the other side of the dress cover and
remove the cover.
9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the
back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. See the release tool cross reference in the
Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
10. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the
wire out of the front of the connector instead of
pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Fuse Block > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2198
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long
enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough,
splice a small length of the same gauge wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on
the added wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.

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

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

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

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.
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Fuse Block > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2266
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 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:

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 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
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Fuse Block > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2270
8. 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.
9. Insert the wire into the DuraSeal splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop.
10. 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.
11. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 12. Gradually move the heat
barrel to the open end of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

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).

* 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.

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 terminal from the connector body.
Note: Several procedures for specific connector bodies are called out in the Wiring Repairs section.
* The terminal position assurance (TPA) and connector position assurance (CPA) should be
removed before releasing the terminal for the connector body.
* Look at the connector end view to locate the cavity of the damaged terminal and find the proper
terminal release tool from the terminal release tool kit.
Note: Using the incorrect terminal release tool can damage the connector body.
* Insert the terminal release tool into the cavity. Note: Some terminals have a lever that must be
disengaged before the terminal can be released.
5. Gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. 6. Repair the terminal by following the
Repairing Connector Terminals (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Connector Repairs/Repairing Connector
Terminals) procedure.
7. Insert the repaired terminal back into the cavity. Repeat the diagnostic procedure to verify the
repair and reconnect the connector bodies.

* J-38125-5 - Ultra Torch
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.

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

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

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Tire Pressure Monitor - TPM System Message/Service Tips > Page 2373
up, allowing tire air pressure to increase above the threshold causing the light to go off. Properly
adjusting all tire air pressures to the recommended levels will correct this (Refer to the Tire and
Loading Information Label on the driver side door).
- More detailed information can be found in the Owner Manual.
- Service is not covered under warranty - this maintenance is the responsibility of the owner.
- Give the customer a copy of the "GM Customer TPMS Information".
For more detailed information, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 07-03-16-004C and TPMS
Training Course 13044.12T2.
Tire Pressure Light
At key on, without starting the vehicle:
Steady Solid Glowing TPM Indicator
If the TPM indicator appears as a steady glowing yellow lamp (as above), the system is functioning
properly and you should add air to the tires to correct this condition.
Blinking TPM Indicator
If the TPM indicator appears as a BLINKING yellow lamp for one minute and then stays on solid,
diagnostic service is needed.
The Effect of Outside Temperature on Tire Pressures
Important:
As a rule of thumb, tire pressure will change about 7kPa (1 psi) for every 6°C (10°F) decrease in
temperature - Tire pressure will drop when it gets colder outside, and rise when it gets warmer.
Under certain situations such as extreme outside temperature changes, the system may bring on a
solid light with a check tire pressure message. This should be considered normal and the system is
working properly. The light will turn off upon adding the proper amount of air to the tires (refer to the
Tire & Loading Information label in the driver's door opening). When properly adjusting tire air
pressure, the following steps are important to help optimize the system and prolong bringing a tire
pressure light on:
^ Use an accurate, high quality tire pressure gauge.
^ Never set the tire pressure below the specified placard value regardless of tire temperature or
ambient temperature.
^ Tire pressure should be set to the specified placard pressure at the lowest seasonal temperature
the vehicle will encounter during operation.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Service Reminder Indicators > Low Tire Pressure Indicator > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Tire Pressure Monitor - TPM System Message/Service Tips > Page 2374
^ When adding proper tire air pressure, it is important to remember fluctuations in outside air
temperatures and tire temperatures effect tire air pressures.
^ After you have added the proper tire pressure, if the vehicle has a DIC (after the system has
updated), check to see if DIC displays are the same
readings as the tire pressure gauge used (adjust as necessary).
^ Only perform a TPM sensor re-learn after a tire rotation or system part replacements and use the
Tech 2(R) to initiate the relearn whenever possible to
avoid invalid sensor I.D. learns.
Important:
Always take outside temperature and tire temperature into consideration to properly set tire
pressures. Foe example, on colder days (20°F/-7°C), if setting tire pressure when the vehicle has
been indoors (60°F/16°C) or the tires are warm from being driven, it will be necessary to
compensate for the low outside temperature by adding 21-27 kPa (3-4 psi) more then the
placecard pressure. At some later time, when the vehicle has been parked outside for a while, the
tires will cool off and the pressures will drop back into the placecard range.
Important:
Recently, nitrogen gas (for use in inflating tires) has become available to the general customer
through some retailers. The use of nitrogen gas to inflate tires is a technology used in automobile
racing. Tires inflated with nitrogen gas may exhibit less of a pressure change in response to
outside temperature changes. Nitrogen gas inflation is compatible with GM TPM sensors. For
additional information, refer to Corporate Service Bulletin 05-03-10-020C.
Important:
All Models (Except the Pontiac Vibe): Do not perform a TPM relearn at PDI, the system has already
been set at the Assembly Plant. Do not perform a TPM relearn after adding air to the tires. The low
tire light is similar to the low fuel indicator and adding something (fuel, air) to the vehicle makes that
light turn back off again. Note that because of system behavior, some vehicles must be driven a
short distance before the sensors recognize the increase in pressure and turns the light off again.
Pontiac Vibe Only: Do not use the TPMS reset button to turn off the light. The system will update
and light will turn off when all tire pressures have been adjusted followed by short distance drive.
Important:
All models (except the Pontiac Vibe): Each tire monitor sensor is learned to a specific vehicle
corner. When performing a TPM relearn (only after a tire rotation or replacement of a TPM sensor
or Module), always use the Tech2(R) to initiate the J 46079 relearned process. Tech 2(R) - initiated
relearns lock out other vehicle TPM signals that may be broadcasting in the area. Only signals
initiated by the J 46079 tool will be accepted. This method avoids storing false TPM I.D.s and will
prevent customers from returning with dashes (--) displayed in tire pressure readouts and/or a
flashing tire pressure monitor (TPM) light. Checking the four TPM I.D.s with the Tech 2(R) prior to
and following relearn to verify they are the same can prevent invalid I.D. learns.
Pontiac Vibe Only: Tire Monitor Sensors are not learned to a specific vehicle corner. Do not
perform a TPM Reset after tire rotation. The TPMS Reset button must only be used during
pre-delivery inspection by the dealer to initialize the system (after all tire pressures have been
adjusted properly) or when a Tire Pressure Monitor System component is replaced. The J 46079
tool does not work on Vibe TPM sensors. A TPMS relearn on Vibe must be preformed with a Tech
2(R) to set the TPMS Module in learn mode. The TPMS sensor IDs are entered through the Tech
2(R). Refer to SI for further Vibe TPMS information.
Labor Operation and Repair Order/Warranty System Claim Required Documentation
Important:
The ONLY time labor operation E0726 or E0722 should be used is to diagnose for a system issue.
That should ONLY occur if, at key ON, without starting the engine, the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)
blinks for one minute and then stays on solid with a Service Tire Monitor System message (on
vehicles equipped with a DIC) If that occurs, a TPM system problem exists and the system will
have set a DTC. If one of these operastions is used, the following Repair Order and Warranty
System documentation are required:
^ Document the customer complaint on the Repair Order.
^ Document the TPMS DTC that has set on the Repair Order.
^ Enter the TPMS DTC in the Warranty System (WINS) in the Failure Code/DTC field on the claim
submission (refer to the Claims Processing Manual,
Section IV, Warranty claim Data, Page 6, Item G).
If the above information is not documented on the Repair Order and Warranty System, the claim
may be rejected. If the Warranty Parts Center (WPC) generates a request, this repair order
documentation must be sent back.

GM Oil Life System Resetting
When the system has calculated that oil life has been diminished, it will indicate that an oil change
is necessary. A CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message will come on. Change the engine oil as
soon as possible within the next 1 000 km (600 miles). It is possible that, if driving under the best
conditions, the oil life system may 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.
If the system is ever reset accidentally, change the engine oil at 5 000 km (3,000 miles) since last
oil change.
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. Anytime 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 ENGINE OIL SOON
message being turned on, reset the system.
If the vehicle does not have a Driver Information Center (DIC), do the following:
1. Turn the ignition to ON, with the engine OFF. 2. Fully press and release the accelerator pedal
slowly three times within five seconds. 3. Turn the key to OFF. If the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON
message comes back on when you start the vehicle, the engine oil life system has not
reset. Repeat the procedure.
If the vehicle has a DIC, do the following:
1. Turn the ignition to ON, with the engine OFF. 2. Press the MODE button until the DIC reads OIL
LIFE LEFT/HOLD SET TO RESET. 3. Press and hold the SET button until 100 percent is
displayed. You will hear three chimes and the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message will go
off.
4. Turn the key to OFF.
If the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message comes back on when you start the vehicle, the
engine oil life system has not reset. Repeat the procedure.

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.

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.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Sensors and Switches - Wheels and Tires > Tire
Pressure Sensor > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Page 2450
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
4. When the left rear sensor has been learned and a double horn chirp has sounded, the learn
process is complete and the RCDLR exits the learn
mode.
5. Ignition OFF, adjust all tires to the recommended pressures. 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).
Alternate Keyless Entry Transmitter or DIC Learn Enable Method
1. Ignition ON, initiate the TPM Learn Mode using one of the following procedures:
* On vehicles equipped with keyless entry, simultaneously press the keyless entry transmitters lock
and unlock buttons until a double horn chirp sounds indicating the Learn Mode has been enabled.
The left front turn signal will also be illuminated.
* On vehicles not equipped with keyless entry, press and release the driver information center
(DIC) INFO button until the TIRE LEARN message appears on the DIC display. Press and hold the
SET/RESET button until a double horn chirp sounds indicating the Learn Mode has been enabled.
The left front turn signal will also be illuminated.
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
4. When the left rear sensor has been learned and a double horn chirp has sounded, the learn
process is complete and the RCDLR exits the learn
mode.
5. Ignition OFF, adjust all tires to the recommended pressures. 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).

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

up, allowing tire air pressure to increase above the threshold causing the light to go off. Properly
adjusting all tire air pressures to the recommended levels will correct this (Refer to the Tire and
Loading Information Label on the driver side door).
- More detailed information can be found in the Owner Manual.
- Service is not covered under warranty - this maintenance is the responsibility of the owner.
- Give the customer a copy of the "GM Customer TPMS Information".
For more detailed information, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 07-03-16-004C and TPMS
Training Course 13044.12T2.
Tire Pressure Light
At key on, without starting the vehicle:
Steady Solid Glowing TPM Indicator
If the TPM indicator appears as a steady glowing yellow lamp (as above), the system is functioning
properly and you should add air to the tires to correct this condition.
Blinking TPM Indicator
If the TPM indicator appears as a BLINKING yellow lamp for one minute and then stays on solid,
diagnostic service is needed.
The Effect of Outside Temperature on Tire Pressures
Important:
As a rule of thumb, tire pressure will change about 7kPa (1 psi) for every 6°C (10°F) decrease in
temperature - Tire pressure will drop when it gets colder outside, and rise when it gets warmer.
Under certain situations such as extreme outside temperature changes, the system may bring on a
solid light with a check tire pressure message. This should be considered normal and the system is
working properly. The light will turn off upon adding the proper amount of air to the tires (refer to the
Tire & Loading Information label in the driver's door opening). When properly adjusting tire air
pressure, the following steps are important to help optimize the system and prolong bringing a tire
pressure light on:
^ Use an accurate, high quality tire pressure gauge.
^ Never set the tire pressure below the specified placard value regardless of tire temperature or
ambient temperature.
^ Tire pressure should be set to the specified placard pressure at the lowest seasonal temperature
the vehicle will encounter during operation.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Tire Monitoring System > Low Tire Pressure Indicator >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Tire Pressure Monitor - TPM System Message/Service Tips > Page
2463
^ When adding proper tire air pressure, it is important to remember fluctuations in outside air
temperatures and tire temperatures effect tire air pressures.
^ After you have added the proper tire pressure, if the vehicle has a DIC (after the system has
updated), check to see if DIC displays are the same
readings as the tire pressure gauge used (adjust as necessary).
^ Only perform a TPM sensor re-learn after a tire rotation or system part replacements and use the
Tech 2(R) to initiate the relearn whenever possible to
avoid invalid sensor I.D. learns.
Important:
Always take outside temperature and tire temperature into consideration to properly set tire
pressures. Foe example, on colder days (20°F/-7°C), if setting tire pressure when the vehicle has
been indoors (60°F/16°C) or the tires are warm from being driven, it will be necessary to
compensate for the low outside temperature by adding 21-27 kPa (3-4 psi) more then the
placecard pressure. At some later time, when the vehicle has been parked outside for a while, the
tires will cool off and the pressures will drop back into the placecard range.
Important:
Recently, nitrogen gas (for use in inflating tires) has become available to the general customer
through some retailers. The use of nitrogen gas to inflate tires is a technology used in automobile
racing. Tires inflated with nitrogen gas may exhibit less of a pressure change in response to
outside temperature changes. Nitrogen gas inflation is compatible with GM TPM sensors. For
additional information, refer to Corporate Service Bulletin 05-03-10-020C.
Important:
All Models (Except the Pontiac Vibe): Do not perform a TPM relearn at PDI, the system has already
been set at the Assembly Plant. Do not perform a TPM relearn after adding air to the tires. The low
tire light is similar to the low fuel indicator and adding something (fuel, air) to the vehicle makes that
light turn back off again. Note that because of system behavior, some vehicles must be driven a
short distance before the sensors recognize the increase in pressure and turns the light off again.
Pontiac Vibe Only: Do not use the TPMS reset button to turn off the light. The system will update
and light will turn off when all tire pressures have been adjusted followed by short distance drive.
Important:
All models (except the Pontiac Vibe): Each tire monitor sensor is learned to a specific vehicle
corner. When performing a TPM relearn (only after a tire rotation or replacement of a TPM sensor
or Module), always use the Tech2(R) to initiate the J 46079 relearned process. Tech 2(R) - initiated
relearns lock out other vehicle TPM signals that may be broadcasting in the area. Only signals
initiated by the J 46079 tool will be accepted. This method avoids storing false TPM I.D.s and will
prevent customers from returning with dashes (--) displayed in tire pressure readouts and/or a
flashing tire pressure monitor (TPM) light. Checking the four TPM I.D.s with the Tech 2(R) prior to
and following relearn to verify they are the same can prevent invalid I.D. learns.
Pontiac Vibe Only: Tire Monitor Sensors are not learned to a specific vehicle corner. Do not
perform a TPM Reset after tire rotation. The TPMS Reset button must only be used during
pre-delivery inspection by the dealer to initialize the system (after all tire pressures have been
adjusted properly) or when a Tire Pressure Monitor System component is replaced. The J 46079
tool does not work on Vibe TPM sensors. A TPMS relearn on Vibe must be preformed with a Tech
2(R) to set the TPMS Module in learn mode. The TPMS sensor IDs are entered through the Tech
2(R). Refer to SI for further Vibe TPMS information.
Labor Operation and Repair Order/Warranty System Claim Required Documentation
Important:
The ONLY time labor operation E0726 or E0722 should be used is to diagnose for a system issue.
That should ONLY occur if, at key ON, without starting the engine, the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)
blinks for one minute and then stays on solid with a Service Tire Monitor System message (on
vehicles equipped with a DIC) If that occurs, a TPM system problem exists and the system will
have set a DTC. If one of these operastions is used, the following Repair Order and Warranty
System documentation are required:
^ Document the customer complaint on the Repair Order.
^ Document the TPMS DTC that has set on the Repair Order.
^ Enter the TPMS DTC in the Warranty System (WINS) in the Failure Code/DTC field on the claim
submission (refer to the Claims Processing Manual,
Section IV, Warranty claim Data, Page 6, Item G).
If the above information is not documented on the Repair Order and Warranty System, the claim
may be rejected. If the Warranty Parts Center (WPC) generates a request, this repair order
documentation must be sent back.

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

install LPO dealer installed 20/22 inch accessory wheels on a full-size utility or pickup.
These wheel options are identified with the RPO code RPP (this designates the 17" wheel and tire
that will be removed by the dealer).
The following RPO codes designate the 20 inch or 22 inch accessory wheel that will be installed by
the dealer: VSA, VSB, VSC, VSF, VS3, VZJ, VZK, VS5, VS4, VSJ, VSK, VZH, VSN, VS8.
Vehicles with option RPP always require the following installation steps:
1. Install new accessory tire/wheel assemblies to the vehicle. 2. Reprogram the control modules for
the new tire/wheel size (steps 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 must be completed in order).
1. Contact TCSC to set-up the calibration database for the new tire size. 2. For 2009 and 2010
models, reprogram the EBCM (Electronic Brake Control Module) - use Tech 2(R) pass-thru
programming in the Service
Programming System (SPS).
3. Reprogram the ECM (Engine Control Module) - use Tech 2 pass-thru programming in the
Service Programming System (SPS).
3. Reset the tire type and pressure.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to perform a module set up for the RCDLR Module. Go to "Tire
Type/Pressure Selection". 2. Select correct tire type (P-metric) and select the new tire pressure
based on the new tire placard included with the accessory wheels.
4. Learn the new tire pressure monitor (TPM) sensors to the vehicle. 5. Install the new tire placard
included with the accessory wheels. 6. Set the inflation pressure of each tire to the new placard
value.

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.

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.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Tire Monitoring System > Tire Pressure Sensor >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Page 2507
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
4. When the left rear sensor has been learned and a double horn chirp has sounded, the learn
process is complete and the RCDLR exits the learn
mode.
5. Ignition OFF, adjust all tires to the recommended pressures. 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).
Alternate Keyless Entry Transmitter or DIC Learn Enable Method
1. Ignition ON, initiate the TPM Learn Mode using one of the following procedures:
* On vehicles equipped with keyless entry, simultaneously press the keyless entry transmitters lock
and unlock buttons until a double horn chirp sounds indicating the Learn Mode has been enabled.
The left front turn signal will also be illuminated.
* On vehicles not equipped with keyless entry, press and release the driver information center
(DIC) INFO button until the TIRE LEARN message appears on the DIC display. Press and hold the
SET/RESET button until a double horn chirp sounds indicating the Learn Mode has been enabled.
The left front turn signal will also be illuminated.
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
4. When the left rear sensor has been learned and a double horn chirp has sounded, the learn
process is complete and the RCDLR exits the learn
mode.
5. Ignition OFF, adjust all tires to the recommended pressures. 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).

Condition
Some customers may comment on a rattle noise from the wheel or hub cap while driving. Other
customers may comment on loose wheel nut caps or caps that may not tighten on the wheel nuts.
Cause
Depending on the generation of the wheel caps, the issue may be overtorqued wheel nut caps or
may be caused by the lack of internal threads inside the wheel nut caps. The wheel nut cap (1) is
correctly threaded. The wheel nut cap (2) shows the insufficient threads.
Correction
Important The wheel nut caps are serviced separately from the center wheel hub cap for most hub
caps. Refer to the GM electronic parts catalog (EPC) for details.
Inspect each wheel nut cap and replace as necessary using the steps below.
1. Remove the wheel hub cap from the vehicle. 2. Place the front of the wheel hub cap down on a
protected clean work bench being careful not to scratch or damage the hub cap surface. 3. Inspect
all the wheel nut caps, marking any bad wheel nut caps.

Tip The bad wheel nut cap can be removed by placing a drift or punch inside the center of the nut
cap and using a hammer to tap the wheel nut cap out of the hub cap.
4. From inside the hub cap, apply direct pressure to one side of the wheel nut cap rim (1). The
wheel nut cap will tip down and pop out of the wheel
hub cap hole when enough pressure is applied. Repeat this procedure for any additional wheel nut
caps that need to be replaced.
5. Flip the hub cap over on the work bench. The emblem side should be up.
Tip A 22 mm (7/8 in) socket placed over the wheel nut cap may be used along with a hammer to
tap the new wheel nut cap back into the hub cap hole.
6. Install the new wheel nut cap into the existing hub cap hole by applying direct pressure to the
front center of the wheel nut cap. 7. Install the wheel hub cap onto the vehicle and tighten the
wheel nut caps. 8. Repeat this entire procedure for each additional hub cap.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

> Page 2555
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.

Condition
Some customers may comment on a rattle noise from the wheel or hub cap while driving. Other
customers may comment on loose wheel nut caps or caps that may not tighten on the wheel nuts.
Cause
Depending on the generation of the wheel caps, the issue may be overtorqued wheel nut caps or
may be caused by the lack of internal threads inside the wheel nut caps. The wheel nut cap (1) is
correctly threaded. The wheel nut cap (2) shows the insufficient threads.
Correction
Important The wheel nut caps are serviced separately from the center wheel hub cap for most hub
caps. Refer to the GM electronic parts catalog (EPC) for details.
Inspect each wheel nut cap and replace as necessary using the steps below.
1. Remove the wheel hub cap from the vehicle. 2. Place the front of the wheel hub cap down on a
protected clean work bench being careful not to scratch or damage the hub cap surface. 3. Inspect
all the wheel nut caps, marking any bad wheel nut caps.

Tip The bad wheel nut cap can be removed by placing a drift or punch inside the center of the nut
cap and using a hammer to tap the wheel nut cap out of the hub cap.
4. From inside the hub cap, apply direct pressure to one side of the wheel nut cap rim (1). The
wheel nut cap will tip down and pop out of the wheel
hub cap hole when enough pressure is applied. Repeat this procedure for any additional wheel nut
caps that need to be replaced.
5. Flip the hub cap over on the work bench. The emblem side should be up.
Tip A 22 mm (7/8 in) socket placed over the wheel nut cap may be used along with a hammer to
tap the new wheel nut cap back into the hub cap hole.
6. Install the new wheel nut cap into the existing hub cap hole by applying direct pressure to the
front center of the wheel nut cap. 7. Install the wheel hub cap onto the vehicle and tighten the
wheel nut caps. 8. Repeat this entire procedure for each additional hub cap.

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

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

Frequency of Wheel Changes - Marketplace Driven
Just a few years ago, the increasing longevity of tires along with greater resistance to punctures
had greatly reduced the number of times wheels were removed to basically required tire rotation
intervals. Today with the booming business in accessory wheels/special application tires (such as
winter tires), consumers are having tire/wheel assemblies removed - replaced - or installed more
than ever. With this increased activity, it opens up more of a chance for error on the part of the
technician. This bulletin will review a few of the common concerns and mistakes to make yourself
aware of.
Proper Servicing Starts With the Right Tools
The following tools have been made available to assist in proper wheel and tire removal and
installation.
- J 41013 Rotor Resurfacing Kit (or equivalent)
- J 42450-A Wheel Hub Resurfacing Kit (or equivalent)
Corroded Surfaces
One area of concern is corrosion on the mating surfaces of the wheel to the hub on the vehicle.
Excessive corrosion, dirt, rust or debris built up on these surfaces can mimic a properly tightened
wheel in the service stall. Once the vehicle is driven, the debris may loosen, grind up or be washed
away from water splash. This action may result in clearance at the mating surface of the wheel and
an under-torqued condition.
Caution
Before installing a wheel, remove any buildup on the wheel mounting surface and brake drum or
brake disc mounting surface. Installing wheels with poor metal-to-metal contact at the mounting
surfaces can cause wheel nuts to loosen. This may cause a wheel to come off when the vehicle is
moving, possibly resulting in a loss of control or personal injury.
Whenever you remove the tire/wheel assemblies, you must inspect the mating surfaces. If
corrosion is found, you should remove the debris with a die grinder equipped with a fine sanding
pad, wire brush or cleaning disc. Just remove enough material to assure a clean, smooth mating
surface.
The J 41013 (or equivalent) can be used to clean the following surfaces:
- The hub mounting surface
- The brake rotor mounting surface
- The wheel mounting surface
Use the J 42450-A (or equivalent) to clean around the base of the studs and the hub.
Lubricants, Grease and Fluids

Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins: > 06-03-10-010A > Jun > 10 > Wheels - Changing Procedures/Precautions >
Page 2571
Some customers may use penetrating oils, grease or other lubricants on wheel studs to aid in
removal or installation. Always use a suitable cleaner/solvent to remove these lubricants prior to
installing the wheel and tire assemblies. Lubricants left on the wheel studs may cause improper
readings of wheel nut torque. Always install wheels to clean, dry wheel studs ONLY.
Notice
Lubricants left on the wheel studs or vertical mounting surfaces between the wheel and the rotor or
drum may cause the wheel to work itself loose after the vehicle is driven. Always install wheels to
clean, dry wheel studs and surfaces ONLY. Beginning with 2011 model year vehicles, put a light
coating of grease, GM P/N 1051344 (in Canada, P/N 9930370), on the inner surface of the wheel
pilot hole to prevent wheel seizure to the axle or bearing hub.
Wheel Stud and Lug Nut Damage
Always inspect the wheel studs and lug nuts for signs of damage from crossthreading or abuse.
You should never have to force wheel nuts down the stud. Lug nuts that are damaged may not
retain properly, yet give the impression of fully tightening. Always inspect and replace any
component suspected of damage.
Tip
Always start wheel nuts by hand! Be certain that all wheel nut threads have been engaged
BEFORE tightening the nut.
Important If the vehicle has directional tread tires, verify the directional arrow on the outboard side
of the tire is pointing in the direction of forward rotation.
Wheel Nut Tightening and Torque
Improper wheel nut tightening can lead to brake pulsation and rotor damage. In order to avoid
additional brake repairs, evenly tighten the wheel nuts to the proper torque specification as shown
for each vehicle in SI. Always observe the proper wheel nut tightening sequence as shown below in
order to avoid trapping the wheel on the wheel stud threads or clamping the wheel slightly off
center resulting in vibration.
The Most Important Service You Provide
While the above information is well known, and wheel removal so common, technicians run the risk
of becoming complacent on this very important

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

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

Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins: > 00-03-10-006F > May > 10 > Wheels/Tires - Tire Radial Force Variation (RFV)
> Page 2577
of vibration is normally felt more in the "seat of the pants" than the steering wheel.
5. Next, record the Hertz (Hz) reading as displayed by the EVA onto the tire data worksheet found
at the end of this bulletin. This should be done
after a tire break-in period of at least 16 km (10 mi) at 72 km/h (45 mph) or greater, in order to
eliminate any possible tire flat-spotting. This reading confirms what the vehicle vibration frequency
is prior to vehicle service and documents the amount of improvement occurring as the result of the
various steps taken to repair. Completing the Steering Wheel Shake Worksheet below is required.
A copy of the completed worksheet must be saved with the R.O. and a copy included with any
parts returned to the Warranty Parts Center for analysis. A reading of 35 to 50 Hz typically
indicates a first order propshaft vibration. If this is the situation, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number
08-07-30-044D. Generally, a reading between 10 and 20 Hz indicates a tire/wheel vibration and if
this is the reading obtained, continue using this bulletin. If the tire 1st order vibration goes away
and stays away during this evaluation, the cause is likely tire flat-spotting. Tire flat-spotting vibration
may come and go at any speed over 72 km/h (45 mph) during the first 10 minutes of operation, if
vibration continues after 10 minutes of driving at speeds greater than 72 km/h (45 mph), tire
flat-spotting can be ruled out as the cause for vibration.
6. If flat-spotting is the cause, provide the explanation that this has occurred due to the vehicle
being parked for long periods of time and that the
nature of the tire is to take a set. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 03-03-10-007E: Information
on Tire/Wheel Characteristics (Vibration, Balance, Shake, Flat Spotting) of GM Original Equipment
Tires.
7. If the road test indicates a shake/vibration exists, check the imbalance of each tire/wheel
assembly on a known, calibrated, off-car dynamic
balancer.Make sure the mounting surface of the wheel and the surface of the balancer are
absolutely clean and free of debris. Be sure to chose the proper cone/collet for the wheel, and
always use the pilot bore for centering. Never center the wheel using the hub-cap bore since it is
not a precision machined surface. If any assembly calls for more than 1/4 ounce on either rim
flange, remove all balance weights and rebalance to as close to zero as possible. If you can see
the vibration (along with feeling it) in the steering wheel (driving straight without your hands on the
wheel), it is very likely to be a tire/wheel first order (one pulse per revolution) disturbance. First
order disturbances can be caused by imbalance as well as non-uniformities in tires, wheels or
hubs. This first order frequency is too low for a human to hear, but if the amplitude is high enough,
it can be seen.
If a vibration or shake still exists after balancing, any out of round conditions, of the wheel, and
force variation conditions of the tire, must be addressed. Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700
can address both (it is also a wheel balancer).
Tire radial force vibration (RFV) can be defined as the amount of stiffness variation the tire will
produce in one revolution under a constant load. Radial force variation is what the vehicle feels
because the load (weight) of the vehicle is always on the tires. Although free runout of tires (not
under load) is not always a good indicator of a smooth ride, it is critical that total tire/wheel
assembly runout be within specification.
Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 loads the tire, similar to on the vehicle, and measures
radial force variation of the tire/wheel assembly. Note that the wheel is affecting the tire's RFV
measurement at this point. To isolate the wheel, its runout must be measured. This can be easily
done on the Hunter, without the need to set up dial indicators. If the wheel meets the runout
specification, the tire's RFV can then be addressed.
After measuring the tire/wheel assembly under load, and the wheel alone, the machine then
calculates (predicts) the radial force variation of the tire. However, because this is a prediction that
can include mounting inaccuracies, and the load wheel is much smaller in diameter than used in
tire production, this type of service equipment should NOT be used to audit new tires. Rather, it
should be used as a service diagnostic tool to minimize radial force variation of the tire/wheel
assembly.
Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 does an excellent job of measuring wheel runout, and of
finding the low point of the wheel (for runout) and the high point of the tire (for radial force
variation). This allows the tire to be matched mounted to the wheel for lowest tire/wheel assembly
force variation.
The machine will simplify this process into easy steps. The following assembly radial force variation
numbers should be used as a guide:
When measuring RFV and match mounting tires perform the following steps.
Measuring Wheel Runout and Assembly Radial Force Variation
Important The completed worksheet at the end of this bulletin must be attached to the hard copy of
the repair order.
- Measure radial force variation and radial runout.
- If a road force/balancing machine is used, record the radial force variation (RFV) on the
worksheet at the end of this bulletin. It may be of benefit to have the lowest RFV assembly to the
front left corner. If the machine is not available and the EVA data suggests there is an issue, swap
the tire and wheel assemblies from the front to the back. Re-check on the EVA and if the problem
still exists, test another vehicle to find tires that do not exhibit the same frequency and swap those
tires onto the subject vehicle.
- If a runout/balancing machine is used, record the radial runout of the tire/wheel assemblies on the
worksheet at the end of this bulletin. If one or more of the tire/wheel assemblies are more than.040
in (1.02 mm), match mount the tire to the wheel to get below.040 in (1.02 mm). For sensitive
customers, readings of 0.030 inch (0.76 mm) or less are preferable, it may also be of benefit to
have the lowest runout assembly to the front left corner. If the machine is not available and the
EVA data suggests there is an issue, swap the tire and wheel assemblies from the front to the
back. Re-check on the EVA and if the problem still exists, test another vehicle to find tires that do
not exhibit the same frequency and swap those tires

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

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

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
Corrosion

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

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

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the Condition, Cause and Correction
information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 07-06-05-001H (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition 1
Some customers may comment on a pinging/popping/snapping noise from underneath the vehicle
at idle or immediately after the vehicle is shut off. Pinging/popping/snapping noise from the exhaust
system during cool down is a normal condition. The noise may be intermittent depending on the
outside temperature and or temperature of the exhaust system at the time of testing.
Cause 1
Exhaust Pinging/Popping/Snapping
As the exhaust system cools, the muffler shell and muffler internals contract at different rates.
Pinging/popping/snapping noise from the exhaust system during cool down is a normal condition.
Correction 1
DO NOT REPLACE THE EXHAUST SYSTEM COMPONENTS.
Exhaust Pinging/Popping/Snapping Noise (Normal)
This condition is normal to the muffler design and does not indicate poor quality or part failure. No
repairs are necessary for this condition. Replacing the muffler heat shield straps will NOT eliminate
this noise. A new muffler may sound quiet for this condition, but as it ages may again produce this
same condition.
Condition 2
Some customers may also comment on a buzz noise coming from the muffler during vehicle
operation.
Cause 2
Muffler Heat Shield Buzz
If the muffler heat shield straps are loose, the heat shield may be free to buzz during vehicle
operation.
Correction 2
DO NOT REPLACE THE EXHAUST SYSTEM COMPONENTS.

Confirm the origin of the buzz by shimming (use metal shims) the straps tight and rerunning the
vehicle. If the buzz concern is gone, then it is caused by the loose shield. Using the following
procedure, install new straps to secure the heat shield to the muffler.
1. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in SI.
2. Mark the position of the heat shield (1) and straps (2) on the muffler shell.
3. Cut and remove the heat shield straps using tin snips along the muffler shell seam (1), and
remove the shield from the muffler.
4. Position the heat shield to the muffler and install new heat shield straps on the muffler shell in
the positions marked prior to removal.
Important Do Not position the strap screw heads directly across from the propeller shaft. Ensure
the strap heads are positioned below the midpoint of the muffler.
5. Position the strap screw heads (1) on the inboard side of the muffler. Ensure that the strap screw
heads (1) are below the midpoint of the muffler.

Aluminum Wheel Refinishing
Aluminum Wheel Refinishing Guidelines
Warning
To avoid personal injury when exposed to plastic media blast, hand and/or lathe sanding dust,
primer, color coat, and clearcoat, you must work in a properly ventilated area, wearing an approved
respirator, eye protection, earplugs and protective gloves and clothing.
Evaluating Damage
Note:
* Inspect the wheel for corrosion, scrapes, gouges, etc. Damage MUST NOT be deeper than what
can be sanded or polished off.
* Inspect the wheel for cracks. If cracks are found, discard the wheel.
* ALL wheels with bent rim flanges must not be repaired or refinished.
* The re-machining and the re-clear coating of aluminum wheels is not recommended in the dealer
environment due to concerns of repair durability.
* Do not use any re-machining process that removes aluminum. This could affect the dimensions
and function of the wheel.
Aluminum Wheel Refinishing General Recommendations/Options
* Painted aluminum wheels use a primer, color coat, and clearcoat procedure. If the paint is
damaged, refinishing is possible. As with polished wheels, all original coatings must be removed
first. Media blasting is recommended. (See option number 1).
* If the clearcoat is damaged, it is possible to refinish with clearcoat only, however, the required
refinishing process cannot be performed in the dealer environment. Refer to Refinishers
Responsibility (Repair option number 2).
* Re-plating of chrome-plated aluminum wheels is not recommended.
Repair Option Number 1
Material Required/Information Resources
* The Paint Manufacturer's Color Book
* Refer to the latest GM Approved Refinish Materials Booklet (GM 4901 MD-2005) for specific
products for aluminum refinishing.
* To access the booklet, go to www.gmgoodwrench.com. Click on GM Collision Parts. Click on GM
Technical Repair Information, select Paint Shop.
* A Color Compatibility chart is also at this site defining what colors are used on what models.
Note: Chemical strippers are not recommended.
* Refer to specific Paint Manufacturers for refinish procedures and process pertaining to "Aluminum
Refinishing". The procedure requires the wheel surface to be plastic media blasted to remove old
paint or clearcoat.
General Color Selection
* If the wheels being painted were previously clearcoated aluminum, and a painted aluminum look
is desired, using Corsican Silver WAEQ9283 for a fine "aluminum-like" look, or Sparkle Silver
WA9967 for a very bright look. Body color is another option to the customer that may also be used.
* Some specific colors may be recommended on certain models.
* If painting wheels that were previously clearcoated aluminum, it is recommended that all 4 wheels
and their center caps be refinished to maintain color uniformity.
General Refinishing Procedures - Removal
1. Remove the wheels from the vehicle. The tires may remain mounted on the wheels. 2. Remove
the balance weights and mark their locations on the tire. 3. Remove excess grease, etc. from the
wheels with wax and grease remover. 4. Have the wheels plastic media blasted to remove the
clearcoat.
Note: MASK OFF ALL MOUNTING SURFACES, whenever a wheel is refinished. The mounting
surface and the wheel nut contact surfaces must not be painted or clearcoated. Coating these
surfaces could affect the wheel nut torque.
5. Clean and mask and paint the wheels.
General Refinishing Procedures - Installation
1. Unmask the wheels.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Description and
Operation > Page 2610
2. Clean all wheel mounting surface of any corrosion, overspray, or dirt.
Note: When re-balancing a tire on an aluminum wheel, coated balance weights must be used in
order to reduce the chance of future cosmetic damage.
3. Install NEW coated balance weights at marked locations.
Note: Use a torque stick on an impact wrench, or a torque wrench to consistently and uniformly
fasten the wheel to the specified torque for the vehicle. The star pattern must be followed.
4. Install wheels on vehicle.
Repair Option Number 2 - Outside Companies
* Some outside companies are offering wheel refinishing services. One such company, Transwheel
Corporation (800-892-3733), provides this service with GM guidelines. Other companies may also
exist.
* Any process that re-machines or otherwise remanufactures the wheel should not be used.
* The wheel ID must be recorded and follow the wheel throughout the process to assure that the
same wheel is returned. The refinisher must permanently ID stamp the wheel and warrant the
painted/clearcoated surfaces for a minimum of one year or the remainder of the new vehicle
warranty, whichever is longer.
* Paint and/or clearcoat must not be present on the following surfaces, the nut chamfers, the wheel
mounting surfaces and the wheel pilot hole.
* A refinishers responsibility includes inspecting for cracks using the Zyglo system or the
equivalent. Any cracked wheels must not be refinished. No welding, hammering or reforming of any
kind is allowed. A plastic media blast may be used for clean up of the wheel. Hand and/or lathe
sanding of the machined surface and the wheel window is allowed. Material removal, though, must
be kept to a minimum.

information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 07-06-05-001H (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition 1
Some customers may comment on a pinging/popping/snapping noise from underneath the vehicle
at idle or immediately after the vehicle is shut off. Pinging/popping/snapping noise from the exhaust
system during cool down is a normal condition. The noise may be intermittent depending on the
outside temperature and or temperature of the exhaust system at the time of testing.
Cause 1
Exhaust Pinging/Popping/Snapping
As the exhaust system cools, the muffler shell and muffler internals contract at different rates.
Pinging/popping/snapping noise from the exhaust system during cool down is a normal condition.
Correction 1
DO NOT REPLACE THE EXHAUST SYSTEM COMPONENTS.
Exhaust Pinging/Popping/Snapping Noise (Normal)
This condition is normal to the muffler design and does not indicate poor quality or part failure. No
repairs are necessary for this condition. Replacing the muffler heat shield straps will NOT eliminate
this noise. A new muffler may sound quiet for this condition, but as it ages may again produce this
same condition.
Condition 2
Some customers may also comment on a buzz noise coming from the muffler during vehicle
operation.
Cause 2
Muffler Heat Shield Buzz
If the muffler heat shield straps are loose, the heat shield may be free to buzz during vehicle
operation.
Correction 2
DO NOT REPLACE THE EXHAUST SYSTEM COMPONENTS.

Valve Deactivation Solenoid: Description and Operation
Cylinder Deactivation (Active Fuel Management) System Description
To provide maximum fuel economy under light load driving conditions, the engine control module
(ECM) will command the cylinder deactivation system ON to deactivate engine cylinders 1, 7, 6,
and 4, switching to a V4 mode. The engine will operate on 8 cylinders, or V8 mode, during engine
starting, engine idling, and medium to heavy throttle applications.
When cylinder deactivation is commanded, the ECM will determine what cylinder is firing and begin
deactivation on the next closest deactivated cylinder in firing order sequence. For example, if
cylinder number 1 is on its combustion event when cylinder deactivation is commanded ON, the
next cylinder in the firing order sequence that can be deactivated is cylinder number 7. If cylinder
number 5 is on its combustion event when cylinder deactivation is commanded ON, then the next
cylinder in the firing order sequence that can be deactivated is cylinder number 4.
Cylinder deactivation is accomplished by not allowing the intake and exhaust valves to open on the
selected cylinders by using special valve lifters. The deactivation lifters contain spring loaded
locking pins that connect the internal pin housing of the lifter to the outer housing.
The pin housing contains the lifter plunger and pushrod seat which interfaces with the pushrod. The
outer housing contacts the camshaft lobe through a roller. During V8 mode, when all cylinders are
active, the locking pins are pushed outward by spring force, locking the pin housing and outer
housing together causing the lifter to function as a normal lifter. When cylinder deactivation is
commanded ON, the locking pins are pushed inward with engine oil pressure directed from the
valve lifter oil manifold (VLOM) assembly solenoids. When the lifter pin housing is unlocked from
the outer housing, the pin housing will remain stationary, while the outer housing will move with the
profile of the camshaft lobe, which results in the valve remaining closed. One VLOM solenoid
controls both the intake and exhaust valves for each deactivating cylinder. There are 2 distinct oil
passages going to each cylinder deactivation lifter bore, one for the hydraulic lash-adjusting feature
of the lifter, and one for controlling the locking pins used for cylinder deactivation.
Although both intake and exhaust valve lifters are controlled by the same solenoid in the VLOM,
the intake and exhaust valves do not become deactivated at the same time. Cylinder deactivation
is timed so that the cylinder is on an intake event. During an intake event, the intake cam lobe is
pushing the valve lifter upwards to open the intake valve against the force of the valve spring. The
force exerted by the valve spring is acting on the side of the lifter locking pins, preventing them
from moving until the intake valve has closed. When the intake valve lifter reaches the base circle
of the camshaft lobe, the valve spring force is reduced, allowing the locking pins to move,
deactivating the intake valve. However, when cylinder deactivation is commanded ON, the exhaust
valve for the deactivated cylinder is in the closed position, allowing the locking pins on the valve
lifter to move immediately, and deactivate the exhaust valve.
By deactivating the exhaust valve first, this allows the capture of a burnt air/fuel charge, or exhaust
gas charge, in the combustion chamber. The capture
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Actuators and Solenoids - Engine > Valve
Deactivation Solenoid > Component Information > Diagrams > Page 2677
of exhaust gases in the combustion chamber will contribute to a reduction in oil consumption, noise
and vibration levels, and exhaust emissions when operating in V4 mode cylinder deactivation
mode.
During the transition from V8 to V4 mode, the fuel injectors will be turned OFF on the deactivated
cylinders. To help prevent spark plug fouling, the ignition system secondary voltage or spark is still
present across the spark plug electrodes on the deactivated cylinders. If all enabling conditions are
met and maintained for cylinder deactivation operation, the ECM calibrations will limit cylinder
deactivation to a cycle time of 10 minutes in V4 mode, then return to V8 mode for 1 minute.
Switching between V8 and V4 modes is accomplished in less than 250 milliseconds, making the
transitions seamless and transparent to the vehicle operator. The 250 milliseconds includes the
time for the ECM to sequence the transitions, the response time for the VLOM solenoids to
energize, and the time for the valve lifters to deactivate, all within 2 revolutions of the engine
crankshaft.
Valve Lifter Oil Manifold (VLOM) Assembly
The cylinder deactivation system uses an electro-hydraulic actuator device called the valve lifter oil
manifold (VLOM) assembly. The VLOM is bolted to the top of the engine valley, below the intake
manifold assembly. The VLOM consists of 4 electrically operated normally closed solenoids. Each
solenoid controls the application of engine oil pressure to the intake and exhaust valve lifters on the
cylinders selected to deactivate. Engine oil pressure is routed to the VLOM assembly from an
internal oil passage on the rear of the cylinder block.
All 4 VLOM solenoids are connected in parallel to a fused ignition 1 voltage circuit, supplied by the
powertrain relay. The ground or control circuit for each solenoid is connected to a low side driver
internal to the engine control module (ECM).
When all enabling conditions are met for cylinder deactivation, the ECM will ground each solenoid
control circuit in firing order sequence, allowing current to flow through the solenoid windings. With
the coil windings energized, the solenoid valve opens, redirecting engine oil pressure through the
VLOM into 8 separate vertical passages in the engine lifter valley. The 8 vertical passages, 2 per
cylinder, are connected to the valve lifter bores of the cylinders to be deactivated. When
vehicle-operating conditions require a return to V8 mode, the ECM will turn OFF the control circuit
for the solenoids, allowing the solenoid valves to close. With the solenoid valves closed, engine oil
pressure in the control ports is exhausted through the body of the solenoids into the engine block
lifter valley. The housing of the VLOM incorporates several bleeds in the oil passages to purge any
air trapped in the VLOM or engine block.
To help control contamination to the hydraulic circuits, a small replaceable oil screen is located in
the VLOM oil inlet passage, below the oil pressure sensor. The oil pressure sensor is a 3-wire
sensor which provides oil pressure information to the ECM.
During service, use extreme care in keeping the VLOM assembly free of any contamination or
foreign material.
Cylinder deactivation may be inhibited for many reasons including the following:
* Engine coolant temperature out of range for cylinder activation
* Engine vacuum out of range
* Brake booster vacuum out of range
* Transmission gear incorrect or shift in progress
* Accelerator pedal out of range or rate of pedal application to fast
* Engine oil pressure and temperature out of range
* Engine speed of range
* Vehicle speed out of range
* Minimum time in V8 mode not met
* Maximum V4 mode time exceeded
* Decel fuel cutoff active
* Reduced engine power active
* Torque management active
* Catalytic converter over temperature protection active
* Piston protection active, knock detected
* Cylinder deactivation solenoid driver circuit faults

Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation
Camshaft Actuator System Description
Camshaft Position (CMP) Actuator System
The camshaft position (CMP) actuator system is used for a variety of engine performance
enhancements. These enhancements include lower emission output through exhaust gas
recirculation (EGR) control, a wider engine torque range, improved gas mileage, and improved
engine idle stability. The CMP actuator system accomplishes this by controlling the amount of
intake and exhaust valve overlap. For the 6.0 liter (LY6, L76) and the 6.2 liter (L92) engine, the
Park position for the CMP actuator and camshaft is 8.5 degrees before top dead center (BTDC) or
17 crankshaft degrees BTDC. The engine control module (ECM) can only command the CMP
actuator to retard the valve timing from the Park position or advance the valve timing back to the
Park position. The total range of valve timing authority is 31 degrees camshaft rotation, or 62
degrees of crankshaft rotation. The control range is from the Park position of 8.5 degrees camshaft
or 17 degrees crankshaft BTDC, to 22.5 degrees camshaft or 45 degrees crankshaft after top dead
center (ATDC).
CMP Actuator System Operation
The camshaft position (CMP) actuator system is controlled by the control module. The control
module sends a pulse width modulated 12-volt signal to a CMP actuator solenoid in order to control
the amount of engine oil flow to a camshaft actuator passage. There are 2 different passages for oil
to flow through, a passage for cam advance and a passage for cam retard. The camshaft actuator
is attached to the front of the camshaft and is hydraulically operated in order to change the angle of
the camshaft relative to crankshaft position (CKP). Incorrect engine oil pressure (EOP), viscosity,
temperature, engine oil level, or aftermarket engine oil additives can have an adverse affect on
camshaft phaser performance.
CMP Actuator Solenoid Circuit Diagnostics
The engine control module (ECM) monitors the control circuit of the camshaft position (CMP)
actuator solenoid for electrical faults. The control module has the ability to determine if a control
circuit is open, shorted high, or shorted low. If the control module detects a fault with the CMP
actuator solenoid control circuit, DTC P0010 will set.
CMP Actuator System Performance Diagnostic
The engine control module (ECM) monitors the performance of the camshaft position (CMP)
actuator system by monitoring the calibrated desired position and the actual position of the
camshaft through the 4X signal of the CMP sensor. If the difference between the actual and
desired position is

Compression Check: Specifications
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).

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.

Camshaft: Description and Operation
Camshaft Position Actuator and Solenoid Valve Description
Camshaft
The camshaft is designed to provide a lubrication path for pressurized engine oil to flow to the
camshaft position (CMP) actuator. Pressurized engine oil enters the camshaft at bearing journal
location number 2. Oil travels through the camshaft, out the front, and into the CMP actuator
solenoid valve.
CMP Actuator Solenoid Valve
The CMP actuator solenoid valve consists of a housing, spool valve (1), spool return spring (2), oil
filter (3), inlet check ball return spring (4), and inlet check ball (5). Pressurized engine oil enters the
valve and travels through the filter to the spool. Spool position is controlled by the CMP magnet
and engine control module (ECM). When the spool is moved to the proper position, oil flow is
directed through the valve and into the CMP actuator assembly. The CMP solenoid valve is a
torque-to-yield design and should be replaced each time it is removed.
CMP Actuator Magnet
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Camshaft, Lifters and Push Rods > Camshaft,
Engine > Component Information > Description and Operation > Page 2695
The CMP actuator magnet (752) is located in the engine front cover and is sealed by a gasket
(753). The CMP actuator magnet is controlled by a 12-volt 150 Hz pulse width 0-100 percent duty
cycle signal from the ECM. When energized, the solenoid uses electromagnetic force on the
magnet pintle to position the spool valve of the CMP solenoid valve.
CMP Actuator
The CMP actuator is a vane type design that hydraulically changes angle or timing of the camshaft
relative to crankshaft position. The CMP actuator allows earlier or later intake and exhaust valve
opening during the 4-stroke engine cycle. The CMP actuator cannot vary the duration of valve
opening or valve lift. The CMP actuator is to be serviced as an assembly. For system operation,
refer to Camshaft Actuator System Description (See: Powertrain Management/Computers and
Control Systems/Description and Operation/Camshaft Actuator System).
The CMP actuator consists of the CMP reluctor wheel (1), wheel retaining pins (2), return spring
(3), front cover (4), park position pin (5), park position pin spring (6), vanes and vane springs (7),
rotor (8), housing with chain sprocket (9), sealing cover/thrust plate (10), and bolts (11).
CMP System Operation
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Camshaft, Lifters and Push Rods > Camshaft,
Engine > Component Information > Description and Operation > Page 2696
A CMP actuator dynamically changes valve timing events relative to piston timing by controlling
camshaft position. This is sometimes referred to as variable valve timing or camshaft phasing.
Variable valve timing or camshaft phasing does not change duration or lift.
* By advancing camshaft timing, an improvement in low end torque can be achieved.
* By retarding camshaft timing slightly, an improvement in high end power can be achieved.
* By retarding camshaft timing significantly, an improvement in light load fuel economy can be
achieved.
There are 5 cavities divided by vanes within the CMP actuator.
* When oil is directed to the advance cavities (1), the camshaft timing is advanced.
* When oil is directed to the retard cavities (2), the camshaft timing is retarded.
* When oil is directed to both cavities, the camshaft is held stationary.
The CMP actuator has a 52 degree range of authority. With the engine not running and no engine
oil pressure to the CMP actuator, the high tension spring positions camshaft timing at the 7 degree
advanced park position. During normal engine operation, and based on performance requirements,
the ECM may adjust camshaft timing, as required, within a range from 7 degrees advanced to 45
degrees retard.

1. Oil enters the camshaft at the second main bearing journal (1). 2. Oil travels through the
camshaft into the CMP actuator valve check ball (2) and filter (3). 3. Oil exits the valve and travels
through the internal passages of the camshaft (4). 4. Oil exits the camshaft and enters the actuator
oil entry ports. 5. Oil travels through the actuator and is directed back into the valve (5). 6. Valve
spool position directs oil to the advance or retard passages of the actuator.
The valve may also, under certain conditions, be positioned in a neutral position with no flow to
either the advance or retard passages of the actuator.
1. Oil flows from the camshaft into the valve inlet (3) through the internal check ball and filter. 2. Oil
exits the valve (2) and travels within the internal passages of the camshaft into the entry ports (7) of
the actuator. 3. The center oil groove of the actuator is pressurized and oil reenters the valve (1). 4.
Valve spool position directs oil out of the valve advance (5) or retard (4) ports to the actuator.
The valve may also, under certain conditions, be positioned in a neutral position with no flow to
either the advance or retard passages of the actuator.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Camshaft, Lifters and Push Rods > Camshaft,
Engine > Component Information > Description and Operation > Page 2698
1. Pressurized oil enters the retard cavities (2) of the actuator and moves the park pin (3) from the
locked position. 2. As pressure increases within the retard cavities (2), the rotor and camshaft
rotate counter clockwise retarding valve timing. 3. As the duty cycle decreases, the spool is
repositioned and oil is sent to the advance cavities (1), rotating the rotor and camshaft clockwise,
advancing valve timing.
* With a 0 percent duty cycle signal to the magnet, the spool is positioned in the fully extended
position and there is full flow to the advance cavities of the actuator. As duty cycle increases to
near 50 percent, flow to the advance cavities is decreased.
* With a 50 percent duty cycle, the spool is positioned neutral, with no flow to either the advance
and retard cavities.
* With a 51-100 percent duty cycle, the spool is positioned to provide oil flow to retard cavities. As
the duty cycle increases, the flow to retard cavities increases.
* With a 100 percent duty cycle, there is full flow to the retard cavities of the actuator.
* The above duty cycle percentage values are only a guideline, as the actual duty cycle values may
vary based on engine oil temperature, solenoid magnet coil temperature, magnet coil resistance,
and other specifics.

Condition
Some customers may comment on an engine valve lifter tick noise that occurs after the engine has
been shut off for at least two hours. The tick noise may last from two seconds to ten minutes.
Cause
This condition may be caused by any of the following:
- Aerated oil in the valve lifter body, resulting in the valve lifter being unable to purge the air quickly.
- A low engine oil level or incorrect oil viscosity.
- Dirty or contaminated oil.
- A low internal valve lifter oil reservoir level.
- Debris in the valve lifter.
- A high valve lifter leak down rate.
Correction
If the SI diagnostics do not isolate the cause of this valve lifter tick noise and normal oil pressure is
noted during the concern, perform the following steps:
1. Inspect the engine oil condition and level. Refer to Owner Manual > Service and Appearance
Care > Checking Things Under the Hood >
Description and Operation > Engine Oil in SI.
‹› If the engine oil is more than one quart low, an incorrect oil viscosity is being used or if poor
quality/contamination is observed, change the oil
and filter.

Condition
Some customers may comment on an engine valve lifter tick noise that occurs after the engine has
been shut off for at least two hours. The tick noise may last from two seconds to ten minutes.
Cause
This condition may be caused by any of the following:
- Aerated oil in the valve lifter body, resulting in the valve lifter being unable to purge the air quickly.
- A low engine oil level or incorrect oil viscosity.
- Dirty or contaminated oil.
- A low internal valve lifter oil reservoir level.
- Debris in the valve lifter.
- A high valve lifter leak down rate.
Correction
If the SI diagnostics do not isolate the cause of this valve lifter tick noise and normal oil pressure is
noted during the concern, perform the following steps:
1. Inspect the engine oil condition and level. Refer to Owner Manual > Service and Appearance
Care > Checking Things Under the Hood >
Description and Operation > Engine Oil in SI.
‹› If the engine oil is more than one quart low, an incorrect oil viscosity is being used or if poor
quality/contamination is observed, change the oil
and filter.

Timing Actuator > Component Information > 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 used for a variety of engine performance
enhancements. These enhancements include lower emission output through exhaust gas
recirculation (EGR) control, a wider engine torque range, improved gas mileage, and improved
engine idle stability. The CMP actuator system accomplishes this by controlling the amount of
intake and exhaust valve overlap. For the 6.0 liter (LY6, L76) and the 6.2 liter (L92) engine, the
Park position for the CMP actuator and camshaft is 8.5 degrees before top dead center (BTDC) or
17 crankshaft degrees BTDC. The engine control module (ECM) can only command the CMP
actuator to retard the valve timing from the Park position or advance the valve timing back to the
Park position. The total range of valve timing authority is 31 degrees camshaft rotation, or 62
degrees of crankshaft rotation. The control range is from the Park position of 8.5 degrees camshaft
or 17 degrees crankshaft BTDC, to 22.5 degrees camshaft or 45 degrees crankshaft after top dead
center (ATDC).
CMP Actuator System Operation
The camshaft position (CMP) actuator system is controlled by the control module. The control
module sends a pulse width modulated 12-volt signal to a CMP actuator solenoid in order to control
the amount of engine oil flow to a camshaft actuator passage. There are 2 different passages for oil
to flow through, a passage for cam advance and a passage for cam retard. The camshaft actuator
is attached to the front of the camshaft and is hydraulically operated in order to change the angle of
the camshaft relative to crankshaft position (CKP). Incorrect engine oil pressure (EOP), viscosity,
temperature, engine oil level, or aftermarket engine oil additives can have an adverse affect on
camshaft phaser performance.
CMP Actuator Solenoid Circuit Diagnostics
The engine control module (ECM) monitors the control circuit of the camshaft position (CMP)
actuator solenoid for electrical faults. The control module has the ability to determine if a control
circuit is open, shorted high, or shorted low. If the control module detects a fault with the CMP
actuator solenoid control circuit, DTC P0010 will set.
CMP Actuator System Performance Diagnostic
The engine control module (ECM) monitors the performance of the camshaft position (CMP)
actuator system by monitoring the calibrated desired position and the actual position of the
camshaft through the 4X signal of the CMP sensor. If the difference between the actual and
desired position is

Attention:
To properly correct this condition, you must follow both of the procedures to relocate the ECT
sensor and the engine coolant heater cord.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add cast iron block engine RPOs and to update the
Warranty Information coverage period. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 10-06-04-008
(Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illuminates after starting
the vehicle when they were using the engine coolant heater in very cold ambient temperatures.
This usually occurs in a range of -23 to -40°C (-10 to -40°F) or colder.
The technician may observe on a scan tool DTC P0116 and/or P1400 set as Current or in History.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the engine control module (ECM) determining that the ignition
OFF time requirement has been met at start-up and interpreting the temperature difference
between the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor and the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
as being outside of a calibrated range.
Correction
Important DO NOT replace the ECM for this condition.
Relocating the ECT Sensor
1. Turn ON the ignition with the engine OFF. 2. Perform the diagnostic system check - vehicle.
Refer to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in SI.
‹› If DTC P0116 and/or P1400 are set and the customer WAS using the engine coolant heater,
proceed to Step 3. ‹› If DTC P0116 and/or P1400 are set and the customer WAS NOT using the
engine coolant heater, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
List - Vehicle in SI.
3. Turn OFF the ignition.
Warning

20. Extract a portion of the ECT sensor harness wiring and connector from the protective conduit.
Cut off the ECT sensor harness connector and
wiring.
21. Determine a routing path for the ECT sensor jumper harness wires so that they can be secured
TO or WITHIN an existing protective conduit.
Note This step is to set up and verify the length of wiring that is required before cutting.
22. Route the ECT sensor jumper wires and then enclose them in their own protective conduit in
order to VERIFY the length that is required. 23. Cut the ECT sensor jumper wires to the
appropriate length.
Note Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other
splice or connector.
24. Splice the ECT sensor jumper wires to the ORIGINAL ECT HARNESS LOCATION using
DuraSeal weatherproof splices. Refer to Splicing
Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves in SI.
Note Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other
splice or connector.
25. Splice the ECT sensor jumper wires to the ECT SENSOR HARNESS CONNECTOR using
DuraSeal weatherproof splices. Refer to Splicing
Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves in SI.
26. Connect the ECT sensor harness connector to the ECT sensor. 27. Secure the ECT sensor
jumper wires that are in their own protective conduit TO or WITHIN the existing harness conduit
using tie straps.
Important You MUST run the engine at the specified RPM and until it reaches normal operating
temperature and then allow it to idle as indicated in SI. The engine MUST then be allowed to cool
down in order to top off the coolant level as needed.
28. Fill the cooling system to the proper level. Refer to Cooling System Draining and Filling in SI.

Condition
Some customers may comment that the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illuminates after starting
the vehicle when they were using the engine coolant heater in very cold ambient temperatures.
This usually occurs in a range of -23 to -40°C (-10 to -40°F) or colder.
The technician may observe on a scan tool DTC P0116 and/or P1400 set as Current or in History.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the engine control module (ECM) determining that the ignition
OFF time requirement has been met at start-up and interpreting the temperature difference
between the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor and the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
as being outside of a calibrated range.
Correction
Important DO NOT replace the ECM for this condition.
Relocating the ECT Sensor
1. Turn ON the ignition with the engine OFF. 2. Perform the diagnostic system check - vehicle.
Refer to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in SI.

Bulletin Number 08-07-30-020D (Section 07 - Transmission).
The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

HISTORY DTC
If all readings are normal per Step 2 above, capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data, clear
DTCs and attempt to duplicate the fail conditions.
1. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
"HLLL" and the IMS state of "Neutral/Drive 6",
complete the following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM or low value,
Engine Torque >30 Nm.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Determine if the shift lever can be hung-up between Neutral and Drive 6. If so, there may be
excessive drag in the system.
- Move the shift lever through each detent position, ensuring positive detent feel. If any concern is
noted, remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement. Ensure that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer. If the vehicle has been returned to the dealer with this Freeze Frame bit
codes after repairs, contact the person(s) below in Step 4.
2. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of "HHLH"
and IMS state of "Blank", complete the
following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS >0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the

- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and the valve body assembly. If
continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
5. Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.

Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and the valve body assembly. If
continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
5. Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.

Special Tools
CH-48027 - Digital Pressure Gauge
Warning: Refer to Gasoline/Gasoline Vapors Warning (See: Powertrain Management/Fuel Delivery
and Air Induction/Fuel/Service Precautions).
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.
1. If the fuel system requires repair, prevent fuel spillage by removing the fuel pump fuse. Refer to
Electrical Center Identification Views (See:
Maintenance/Fuses and Circuit Breakers/Fuse/Application and ID).
2. Remove the engine cover, if required. 3. Loosen the fuel fill cap in order to relieve the fuel tank
vapor pressure. 4. Remove the fuel rail service port cap.
Warning
Wrap a shop towel around the fuel pressure connection in order to reduce the risk of fire and
personal injury. The towel will absorb any fuel leakage that occurs during the connection of the fuel
pressure gauge. Place the towel in an approved container when the connection of the fuel pressure
gauge is complete.
5. Wrap a shop towel around the fuel rail service port. 6. Connect the CH-48027-3 (4) to the fuel
rail service port. 7. Connect the CH-48027-2 (2) to the CH-48027-3 (4). 8. Place the hose on the

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
- The generator
- The A/C compressor
- The engine cooling fan
- The water pump, if belt driven
The drive belt system may use 2 belts. The drive belt (1) is thin so that it can bend backwards and
has several ribs to match the grooves in the pulleys. The drive belts are made of different types of
rubbers - chloroprene or EPDM - and have different layers or plies 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 has an idler pulley, which is used to add wrap to the adjacent pulleys.
A/C Compressor Drive Belt

Drive Belt > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Page 2900
The outward appearance of the belt (1) is similar to the current design serpentine belt. The
reinforcing cord provides its unique qualities. The belt cord is made of a polyamid material. The
polyamid cord is more elastic than the more traditional aramid or polyester cord designs. A
tensioner is not needed.
Polyamid cord, when combined with a more elastic backing compound, ensures the belt is able to
maintain the specified tension within the specified range of usage.

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

Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection Drive Belt Rumbling and Vibration Diagnosis
Drive Belt Rumbling and Vibration Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids
The accessory drive components can have an affect on engine vibration. Vibration from the engine
operating may cause a body component or another part of the vehicle to make rumbling noise.
Vibration can be caused by, but not limited to the air conditioning (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 or felt as a lump in the belt. 5. Small amounts of pilling is normal
condition and acceptable. When the pilling is severe the drive belt does not have a smooth surface
for proper operation. 9. Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that the wrong bolt,
nut, spacer, or washer was installed. 11. This step should only be performed if the water pump is
driven by the drive belt. Inspect the water pump shaft for being bent. Also inspect the water pump
bearings for smooth operation and excessive play. Compare the water pump with a known good
water pump. 12. Accessory drive component brackets that are bent, cracked, or loose may put
extra strain on that accessory component causing it to vibrate.

Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection Drive Belt Falls Off and Excessive Wear Diagnosis
Drive Belt Falls Off and Excessive Wear Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids
If the drive belt repeatedly falls off the drive belt pulleys, this is because of pulley misalignment.
An extra load that is quickly applied on released by an accessory drive component may cause the
drive belt to fall off the pulleys. Verify the accessory drive components operate properly.
If the drive belt is the incorrect length, the drive belt tensioner may not keep the proper tension on
the drive belt.
Excessive wear on a drive belt is usually caused by an incorrect installation or the wrong drive belt
for the application.
Minor misalignment of the drive belt pulleys will not cause excessive wear, but will probably cause
the drive belt to make a noise or to fall off.
Excessive misalignment of the drive belt pulleys will cause excessive wear but may also make the
drive belt fall off.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table. 2. This inspection is to verify
the condition of the drive belt. Damage may of occurred to the drive belt when the drive belt fell off.
The drive belt may of been damaged, which caused the drive belt to fall off. Inspect the belt for
cuts, tears, 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 two or three pulleys.
If a misaligned pulley is found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation
procedure of that pulley. 5. Inspecting the pulleys for being bent should include inspecting for a
dent or other damage to the pulleys that would prevent the drive belt from not seating properly in all
of the pulley grooves or on the smooth surface of a pulley when the back side of the belt is used to
drive the pulley. 6. Accessory drive component brackets that are bent or cracked will let the drive
belt fall off. 7. Inspection 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.

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.

- 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.

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.

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.

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

Subject: Intake Manifold Inspection/Replacement After Severe Internal Engine Damage
Models:

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.

Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation
Camshaft Actuator System Description
Camshaft Position (CMP) Actuator System
The camshaft position (CMP) actuator system is used for a variety of engine performance
enhancements. These enhancements include lower emission output through exhaust gas
recirculation (EGR) control, a wider engine torque range, improved gas mileage, and improved
engine idle stability. The CMP actuator system accomplishes this by controlling the amount of
intake and exhaust valve overlap. For the 6.0 liter (LY6, L76) and the 6.2 liter (L92) engine, the
Park position for the CMP actuator and camshaft is 8.5 degrees before top dead center (BTDC) or
17 crankshaft degrees BTDC. The engine control module (ECM) can only command the CMP
actuator to retard the valve timing from the Park position or advance the valve timing back to the
Park position. The total range of valve timing authority is 31 degrees camshaft rotation, or 62
degrees of crankshaft rotation. The control range is from the Park position of 8.5 degrees camshaft
or 17 degrees crankshaft BTDC, to 22.5 degrees camshaft or 45 degrees crankshaft after top dead
center (ATDC).
CMP Actuator System Operation
The camshaft position (CMP) actuator system is controlled by the control module. The control
module sends a pulse width modulated 12-volt signal to a CMP actuator solenoid in order to control
the amount of engine oil flow to a camshaft actuator passage. There are 2 different passages for oil
to flow through, a passage for cam advance and a passage for cam retard. The camshaft actuator
is attached to the front of the camshaft and is hydraulically operated in order to change the angle of
the camshaft relative to crankshaft position (CKP). Incorrect engine oil pressure (EOP), viscosity,
temperature, engine oil level, or aftermarket engine oil additives can have an adverse affect on
camshaft phaser performance.
CMP Actuator Solenoid Circuit Diagnostics
The engine control module (ECM) monitors the control circuit of the camshaft position (CMP)
actuator solenoid for electrical faults. The control module has the ability to determine if a control
circuit is open, shorted high, or shorted low. If the control module detects a fault with the CMP
actuator solenoid control circuit, DTC P0010 will set.
CMP Actuator System Performance Diagnostic
The engine control module (ECM) monitors the performance of the camshaft position (CMP)
actuator system by monitoring the calibrated desired position and the actual position of the
camshaft through the 4X signal of the CMP sensor. If the difference between the actual and
desired position is

greater than a calibrated angle for a calibrated amount of time, DTC P0011 will set.

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

Fuel System Diagnosis (FPCM)
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) supplies voltage to the fuel pump control module (FPCM) when
the ECM detects that the ignition is ON. The voltage from the ECM to the FPCM remains active for
2 seconds, unless the engine is in Crank or Run. While this voltage is being received, the FPCM
closes the ground switch of the fuel pump and also supplies a varying voltage to the fuel tank pump
module in order to maintain the desired fuel rail pressure.
The fuel system is an electronic returnless on-demand design. 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 is contained by the fuel
pump module inside the fuel tank. The fuel pump supplies high pressure fuel through the fuel filter
and the fuel feed pipe to 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 pump module contains a reverse flow check valve. The check
valve maintains fuel pressure in the fuel feed pipe and the fuel rail in order to prevent long cranking
times.

Throttle/Idle Learn
Description
The engine control module (ECM) learns the airflow through the throttle body 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 throttle body coking. Anytime the throttle body airflow rate changes, for
example due to cleaning or replacing, the values must be relearned.
An engine 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.

Spark Plug: Testing and Inspection
Spark Plug Inspection
* Verify 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, replace with a colder plug
- Pre-ignition causing spark plug and/or engine damage , replace with a hotter plug
* 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, or 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 will cause arcing to ground.
* Inspect the insulator (2) for cracks. All or part of the electrical charge may arc through the crack
instead of the electrodes (3, 4).

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Tune-up and Engine Performance Checks >
Spark Plug > Component Information > Specifications > Page 3239
* Inspect for evidence of improper arcing.
- Measure the gap between the center electrode (4) and the side electrode (3). 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.
Visual Inspection
* Normal operation - Brown to grayish-tan with small amounts of white powdery deposits are
normal combustion by-products from fuels with additives.
* Carbon fouled - Dry, fluffy black carbon, or soot caused by the following conditions:
- Rich fuel mixtures
* Leaking fuel injectors
* Excessive fuel pressure
* Restricted air filter element
* Incorrect combustion
- Reduced ignition system voltage output
* Weak ignition coils
* Worn ignition wires
* Incorrect spark plug gap
- Excessive idling or slow speeds under light loads can keep spark plug temperatures so low that
normal combustion deposits may not burn off.
* Deposit fouling - Oil, coolant, or additives that include substances such as silicone, very white
coating, reduces the spark plug intensity. Most powdery deposits will not affect spark plug intensity
unless they form into a glazing over the electrode.

Compression Check: Specifications
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).

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.

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.

Attention:
To properly correct this condition, you must follow both of the procedures to relocate the ECT
sensor and the engine coolant heater cord.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add cast iron block engine RPOs and to update the
Warranty Information coverage period. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 10-06-04-008
(Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illuminates after starting
the vehicle when they were using the engine coolant heater in very cold ambient temperatures.
This usually occurs in a range of -23 to -40°C (-10 to -40°F) or colder.
The technician may observe on a scan tool DTC P0116 and/or P1400 set as Current or in History.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the engine control module (ECM) determining that the ignition
OFF time requirement has been met at start-up and interpreting the temperature difference
between the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor and the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
as being outside of a calibrated range.
Correction
Important DO NOT replace the ECM for this condition.
Relocating the ECT Sensor
1. Turn ON the ignition with the engine OFF. 2. Perform the diagnostic system check - vehicle.
Refer to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in SI.
‹› If DTC P0116 and/or P1400 are set and the customer WAS using the engine coolant heater,
proceed to Step 3. ‹› If DTC P0116 and/or P1400 are set and the customer WAS NOT using the
engine coolant heater, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
List - Vehicle in SI.
3. Turn OFF the ignition.
Warning
To avoid being burned, do not remove the radiator cap or surge tank cap while the engine is hot.
The cooling system will release scalding fluid and steam

Condition
Some customers may comment about the check engine light being illuminated. They may also
comment that their vehicle is difficult to fill with fuel or when filling, the pump continuously shuts off
before the tank is full.
When checking the vehicle for DTCs, the ECM may report one or more of the following DTCs set
as current or in history: P0442, P0446, P0449 or P0455.
Cause
The EVAP canister vent solenoid (CVS) valve draws fresh air into the system through a vent.
Under certain operating conditions, dirt and dust intrusion into the EVAP CVS fresh air
intake/venting system, may result in restricted air flow.
Under certain operating conditions, water, if ingested into the EVAP CVS fresh air intake/venting
system, may reach the CVS valve causing corrosion in the CVS valve, and may cause restrictions
in the fresh air intake path, when the valve is in the closed position.

Cause
This condition may be caused by the engine control module (ECM) determining that the ignition
OFF time requirement has been met at start-up and interpreting the temperature difference
between the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor and the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
as being outside of a calibrated range.
Correction
Important DO NOT replace the ECM for this condition.

Cause
Depending on the generation of the wheel caps, the issue may be overtorqued wheel nut caps or
may be caused by the lack of internal threads inside the wheel nut caps. The wheel nut cap (1) is
correctly threaded. The wheel nut cap (2) shows the insufficient threads.
Correction
Important The wheel nut caps are serviced separately from the center wheel hub cap for most hub
caps. Refer to the GM electronic parts catalog (EPC) for details.
Inspect each wheel nut cap and replace as necessary using the steps below.
1. Remove the wheel hub cap from the vehicle. 2. Place the front of the wheel hub cap down on a
protected clean work bench being careful not to scratch or damage the hub cap surface. 3. Inspect
all the wheel nut caps, marking any bad wheel nut caps.

Tip The bad wheel nut cap can be removed by placing a drift or punch inside the center of the nut
cap and using a hammer to tap the wheel nut cap out of the hub cap.
4. From inside the hub cap, apply direct pressure to one side of the wheel nut cap rim (1). The
wheel nut cap will tip down and pop out of the wheel
hub cap hole when enough pressure is applied. Repeat this procedure for any additional wheel nut
caps that need to be replaced.
5. Flip the hub cap over on the work bench. The emblem side should be up.
Tip A 22 mm (7/8 in) socket placed over the wheel nut cap may be used along with a hammer to
tap the new wheel nut cap back into the hub cap hole.
6. Install the new wheel nut cap into the existing hub cap hole by applying direct pressure to the
front center of the wheel nut cap. 7. Install the wheel hub cap onto the vehicle and tighten the
wheel nut caps. 8. Repeat this entire procedure for each additional hub cap.

Condition 1
Some customers may comment on a pinging/popping/snapping noise from underneath the vehicle
at idle or immediately after the vehicle is shut off. Pinging/popping/snapping noise from the exhaust
system during cool down is a normal condition. The noise may be intermittent depending on the
outside temperature and or temperature of the exhaust system at the time of testing.
Cause 1
Exhaust Pinging/Popping/Snapping
As the exhaust system cools, the muffler shell and muffler internals contract at different rates.
Pinging/popping/snapping noise from the exhaust system during cool down is a normal condition.
Correction 1
DO NOT REPLACE THE EXHAUST SYSTEM COMPONENTS.
Exhaust Pinging/Popping/Snapping Noise (Normal)
This condition is normal to the muffler design and does not indicate poor quality or part failure. No
repairs are necessary for this condition. Replacing the muffler heat shield straps will NOT eliminate
this noise. A new muffler may sound quiet for this condition, but as it ages may again produce this
same condition.

information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 07-06-05-001H (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition 1
Some customers may comment on a pinging/popping/snapping noise from underneath the vehicle
at idle or immediately after the vehicle is shut off. Pinging/popping/snapping noise from the exhaust
system during cool down is a normal condition. The noise may be intermittent depending on the
outside temperature and or temperature of the exhaust system at the time of testing.
Cause 1
Exhaust Pinging/Popping/Snapping
As the exhaust system cools, the muffler shell and muffler internals contract at different rates.
Pinging/popping/snapping noise from the exhaust system during cool down is a normal condition.
Correction 1
DO NOT REPLACE THE EXHAUST SYSTEM COMPONENTS.
Exhaust Pinging/Popping/Snapping Noise (Normal)
This condition is normal to the muffler design and does not indicate poor quality or part failure. No
repairs are necessary for this condition. Replacing the muffler heat shield straps will NOT eliminate
this noise. A new muffler may sound quiet for this condition, but as it ages may again produce this
same condition.
Condition 2
Some customers may also comment on a buzz noise coming from the muffler during vehicle
operation.
Cause 2
Muffler Heat Shield Buzz
If the muffler heat shield straps are loose, the heat shield may be free to buzz during vehicle
operation.
Correction 2
DO NOT REPLACE THE EXHAUST SYSTEM COMPONENTS.

Exhaust - Muffler Heat Shield Buzz During Operation > Page 3541
Confirm the origin of the buzz by shimming (use metal shims) the straps tight and rerunning the
vehicle. If the buzz concern is gone, then it is caused by the loose shield. Using the following
procedure, install new straps to secure the heat shield to the muffler.
1. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in SI.
2. Mark the position of the heat shield (1) and straps (2) on the muffler shell.
3. Cut and remove the heat shield straps using tin snips along the muffler shell seam (1), and
remove the shield from the muffler.
4. Position the heat shield to the muffler and install new heat shield straps on the muffler shell in
the positions marked prior to removal.
Important Do Not position the strap screw heads directly across from the propeller shaft. Ensure
the strap heads are positioned below the midpoint of the muffler.
5. Position the strap screw heads (1) on the inboard side of the muffler. Ensure that the strap screw
heads (1) are below the midpoint of the muffler.
Tighten Tighten the straps to 4 Nm (35‹›lb‹›in).
6. Cut off the excess strap material and ensure that the ends (2) are flat against the muffler.

Subject: Information on BCM Calibrations Available to Restore Bulb Outage Detection on Vehicles
Produced by a Second Stage Manufacturer, Turn Signals Flash Fast after Factory Box Removed
(Upfitter)
Models:
2007-2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2007-2011 GMC Sierra
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 07-08-42-006D (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
The information contained in this bulletin applies to vehicles that are to be completed by a second
stage manufacturer (upfitter) and may need to have the Body Control Module (BCM) rear turn
signal bulb outage detection capability changed. All production vehicles will be manufactured with
one of the following BCM rear turn signal bulb outage detection software options:
1. A standard production vehicle will have BCM software that checks for two bulbs functioning in
each rear turn signal bulb circuit. If one or more
bulbs are inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) turn signal
indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108 and Canada Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
2. Certain 2500 and 3500 models can be ordered with a new option (RPO 9U5) where the BCM
checks for one bulb functioning in each rear turn
signal bulb circuit. If the bulb goes inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel
Cluster (IPC) turn signal indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)
108 and Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
3. A vehicle built with a pickup box delete or chassis cab option (RPO ZW9) will be produced with a
BCM program that has no turn signal bulb
outage detection capability (LED compatible). The IPC turn signal indicator will flash at the same
rate no matter how many turn signal bulbs are inoperative.
In some cases, the upfitter may wish to change the turn signal bulb outage detection capability so
that the turn signals work correctly with their upfit or to meet certain requirements. This will require
contacting the Techline Customer Support Center (TCSC) to open a case and obtain a Vehicle
Configuration Index (VCI) number. Advise the TCSC consultant which turn signal bulb outage
detection capability is needed:
1. Factory standard production TWO bulb outage detection. 2. Optional (RPO 9U5) ONE bulb
outage detection. NOTE: ONLY AVAILABLE ON CERTAIN 2007-2011 MODEL 2500 AND 3500
VEHICLES.
3. NO bulb outage detection (LED compatible).
The BCM can then be reprogrammed with the correct software.

Some technicians may experience an unsuccessful body control module (BCM) reprogramming
event, when choosing the Reprogram ECU selection on the Service Programming System (SPS).
The technician may also notice that when attempting to reprogram the BCM again after this
incident has occurred, the BCM may not complete the programming event.
This condition may be caused by the following:
- A reprogramming event that was interrupted due to a lack of communication between the vehicle
and the TIS2WEB terminal.
- The vehicle experienced low system voltage during the reprogramming event.
Important Do not replace the BCM for this condition.
SPS Programming Process Selection
Perform this procedure first.
1. If reprogramming has failed during the initial reprogramming event, back out of the SPS

Produced by a Second Stage Manufacturer, Turn Signals Flash Fast after Factory Box Removed
(Upfitter)
Models:

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 07-08-42-006D (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
The information contained in this bulletin applies to vehicles that are to be completed by a second
stage manufacturer (upfitter) and may need to have the Body Control Module (BCM) rear turn
signal bulb outage detection capability changed. All production vehicles will be manufactured with
one of the following BCM rear turn signal bulb outage detection software options:
1. A standard production vehicle will have BCM software that checks for two bulbs functioning in
each rear turn signal bulb circuit. If one or more
bulbs are inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) turn signal
indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108 and Canada Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
2. Certain 2500 and 3500 models can be ordered with a new option (RPO 9U5) where the BCM
checks for one bulb functioning in each rear turn
signal bulb circuit. If the bulb goes inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel
Cluster (IPC) turn signal indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)
108 and Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
3. A vehicle built with a pickup box delete or chassis cab option (RPO ZW9) will be produced with a
BCM program that has no turn signal bulb
outage detection capability (LED compatible). The IPC turn signal indicator will flash at the same
rate no matter how many turn signal bulbs are inoperative.
In some cases, the upfitter may wish to change the turn signal bulb outage detection capability so
that the turn signals work correctly with their upfit or to meet certain requirements. This will require
contacting the Techline Customer Support Center (TCSC) to open a case and obtain a Vehicle
Configuration Index (VCI) number. Advise the TCSC consultant which turn signal bulb outage
detection capability is needed:
1. Factory standard production TWO bulb outage detection. 2. Optional (RPO 9U5) ONE bulb
outage detection. NOTE: ONLY AVAILABLE ON CERTAIN 2007-2011 MODEL 2500 AND 3500
VEHICLES.
3. NO bulb outage detection (LED compatible).
The BCM can then be reprogrammed with the correct software.

Some technicians may experience an unsuccessful body control module (BCM) reprogramming
event, when choosing the Reprogram ECU selection on the Service Programming System (SPS).
The technician may also notice that when attempting to reprogram the BCM again after this
incident has occurred, the BCM may not complete the programming event.
This condition may be caused by the following:
- A reprogramming event that was interrupted due to a lack of communication between the vehicle
and the TIS2WEB terminal.
- The vehicle experienced low system voltage during the reprogramming event.
Important Do not replace the BCM for this condition.
SPS Programming Process Selection
Perform this procedure first.
1. If reprogramming has failed during the initial reprogramming event, back out of the SPS
application completely. 2. Re-select SPS from the TIS2WEB terminal application. 3. When
selecting the Programming Process , choose Replace and Program ECU , even though a new
BCM is NOT being installed. 4. Reprogram the BCM using the Service Programming System (SPS)
with the latest calibration available on TIS2WEB. Refer to the SPS procedures
in SI.
When using a multiple diagnostic interface (MDI) for reprogramming, ensure that it is updated with
the latest software version.
When using a Tech 2(R) for reprogramming, ensure that it is updated with the latest software

The purpose of this bulletin is to provide a summary of the steps required for the technician to
install LPO dealer installed 20/22 inch accessory wheels on a full-size utility or pickup.
These wheel options are identified with the RPO code RPP (this designates the 17" wheel and tire
that will be removed by the dealer).
The following RPO codes designate the 20 inch or 22 inch accessory wheel that will be installed by
the dealer: VSA, VSB, VSC, VSF, VS3, VZJ, VZK, VS5, VS4, VSJ, VSK, VZH, VSN, VS8.
Vehicles with option RPP always require the following installation steps:
1. Install new accessory tire/wheel assemblies to the vehicle. 2. Reprogram the control modules for
the new tire/wheel size (steps 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 must be completed in order).
1. Contact TCSC to set-up the calibration database for the new tire size. 2. For 2009 and 2010
models, reprogram the EBCM (Electronic Brake Control Module) - use Tech 2(R) pass-thru
programming in the Service
Programming System (SPS).
3. Reprogram the ECM (Engine Control Module) - use Tech 2 pass-thru programming in the
Service Programming System (SPS).
3. Reset the tire type and pressure.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to perform a module set up for the RCDLR Module. Go to "Tire
Type/Pressure Selection". 2. Select correct tire type (P-metric) and select the new tire pressure
based on the new tire placard included with the accessory wheels.
4. Learn the new tire pressure monitor (TPM) sensors to the vehicle. 5. Install the new tire placard
included with the accessory wheels. 6. Set the inflation pressure of each tire to the new placard

Subject: Info - Non-GM Parts and Accessories (Aftermarket)
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years and update to the new U.S. Fixed
Operation Manager (FOM) and Canada Warranty Manager (WM) names. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 04-06-04-054A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
The recent rise and expansion of companies selling non-GM parts and accessories has made it
necessary to issue this reminder to dealers regarding GM's policy on the use and installation of
these aftermarket components.
When a dealer is performing a repair under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, they are required to
use only genuine GM or GM-approved parts and accessories. This applies to all warranty repairs,
special policy repairs or any repairs paid for by GM. Parts and accessories advertised as being "the
same" as parts manufactured by GM, but not sold through GM, do not qualify for use in warranty
repairs, special policy repairs or any repairs paid for by GM.
During a warranty repair, if a GM original equipment part is not available through GM Customer
Care and Aftersales (GM CC&A;), ACDelco(R) distributors, other GM dealers or approved sources,
the dealer is to obtain comparable, non-GM parts and clearly indicate, in detail, on the repair order
the circumstances surrounding why non-GM parts were used. The dealer must give customers
written notice, prior to the sale or service, that such parts or accessories are not marketed or
warranted by General Motors.
It should also be noted that dealers modifying new vehicles and installing equipment, parts and
accessories obtained from sources not authorized by GM are responsible for complying with the
National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Certain non-approved parts or assemblies, installed
by the dealer or its agent not authorized by GM, may result in a change to the vehicle's design
characteristics and may affect the vehicle's ability to conform to federal law. Dealers must fully
understand that non-GM approved parts may not have been validated, tested or certified for use.
This puts the dealer at risk for potential liability in the event of a part or vehicle failure. If a GM part
failure occurs as the result of the installation or use of a non-GM approved part, the warranty will
not be honored.
A good example of non-authorized modification of vehicles is the result of an ever increasing
supply of aftermarket devices available to the customer, which claim to increase the horsepower
and torque of the Duramax(TM) Diesel Engines. These include the addition of, but are not limited to
one or more of the following modifications:
- Propane injection
- Nitrous oxide injection
- Additional modules (black boxes) that connect to the vehicle wiring systems
- Revised engine calibrations downloaded for the engine control module
- Calibration modules which connect to the vehicle diagnostic connector
- Modification to the engine turbocharger waste gate
Although the installation of these devices, or modification of vehicle components, can increase
engine horsepower and torque, they may also negatively affect the engine emissions, reliability
and/or durability. In addition, other powertrain components, such as transmissions, universal joints,
drive shafts, and front/rear axle components, can be stressed beyond design safety limits by the
installation of these devices.
General Motors does not support or endorse the use of devices or modifications that, when
installed, increase the engine horsepower and torque. It is because of these unknown stresses,
and the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a
policy that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining
warranty coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a
non-GM (aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is
subsequently removed. Refer to the latest version of Bulletin 09-06-04-026 (V8 Gas Engines) or
06-06-01-007 (Duramax(TM) Diesel Engines) for more information on dealer requirements for
calibration verification.
These same policies apply as they relate to the use of non-GM accessories. Damage or failure
from the use or installation of a non-GM accessory will not be covered under warranty. Failure
resulting from the alteration or modification of the vehicle, including the cutting, welding or
disconnecting of the vehicle's original equipment parts and components will void the warranty.
Additionally, dealers will NOT be reimbursed or compensated by GM in the event of any legal
inquiry at either the local, state or federal level that

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

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

Attention:
This bulletin applies to V8 gas powered engines ONLY. For Duramax(TM) diesel powered engines,
refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 08-06-04-006G.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2010 model year and information about
retrieving calibrations on a Global A vehicle. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number

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

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

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 09-06-04-026B
Date: April 07, 2010
Subject: Identifying Non-GM (Aftermarket) Engine and Transmission Calibrations for V8 Gas
Engines Using Tech 2(R) or Global Diagnostic System (GDS)
Models:
2006-2010 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 Corporate Bulletin Number 08-06-04-006G.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2010 model year and information about
retrieving calibrations on a Global A vehicle. 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

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation
Engine Control Module Description
The powertrain has electronic controls to reduce exhaust emissions while maintaining excellent
driveability and fuel economy. The engine control module (ECM) is the control center of this
system. The ECM monitors numerous engine and vehicle functions. The ECM constantly monitors
information from various sensors and other inputs, and controls the systems that affect vehicle
performance and 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 malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL). When the ECM detects a malfunction, the ECM stores a diagnostic trouble
code (DTC). The problem area is identified by the particular DTC that is set. The control module
supplies a buffered voltage to various sensors and switches. Review the components and wiring

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

Engine Control Module Replacement
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.

Condition
Some customers may comment that the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illuminates after starting
the vehicle when they were using the engine coolant heater in very cold ambient temperatures.
This usually occurs in a range of -23 to -40°C (-10 to -40°F) or colder.
The technician may observe on a scan tool DTC P0116 and/or P1400 set as Current or in History.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the engine control module (ECM) determining that the ignition
OFF time requirement has been met at start-up and interpreting the temperature difference
between the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor and the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
as being outside of a calibrated range.
Correction
Important DO NOT replace the ECM for this condition.

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

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

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

Fuel System Diagnosis (FPCM)
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) supplies voltage to the fuel pump control module (FPCM) when
the ECM detects that the ignition is ON. The voltage from the ECM to the FPCM remains active for
2 seconds, unless the engine is in Crank or Run. While this voltage is being received, the FPCM
closes the ground switch of the fuel pump and also supplies a varying voltage to the fuel tank pump
module in order to maintain the desired fuel rail pressure.
The fuel system is an electronic returnless on-demand design. 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 is contained by the fuel
pump module inside the fuel tank. The fuel pump supplies high pressure fuel through the fuel filter
and the fuel feed pipe to 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 pump module contains a reverse flow check valve. The check
valve maintains fuel pressure in the fuel feed pipe and the fuel rail in order to prevent long cranking
times.

Idle Speed: Testing and Inspection
Throttle/Idle Learn
Description
The engine control module (ECM) learns the airflow through the throttle body 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 throttle body coking. Anytime the throttle body airflow rate changes, for
example due to cleaning or replacing, the values must be relearned.
An engine 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.

Spark Plug: Testing and Inspection
Spark Plug Inspection
* Verify 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, replace with a colder plug
- Pre-ignition causing spark plug and/or engine damage , replace with a hotter plug
* 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, or 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 will cause arcing to ground.
* Inspect the insulator (2) for cracks. All or part of the electrical charge may arc through the crack
instead of the electrodes (3, 4).
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Tune-up and Engine Performance Checks > Spark Plug >
Component Information > Specifications > Page 4022
* Inspect for evidence of improper arcing.
- Measure the gap between the center electrode (4) and the side electrode (3). Refer to Ignition
System Specifications (See: 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: 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.
Visual Inspection
* Normal operation - Brown to grayish-tan with small amounts of white powdery deposits are
normal combustion by-products from fuels with additives.
* Carbon fouled - Dry, fluffy black carbon, or soot caused by the following conditions:
- Rich fuel mixtures
* Leaking fuel injectors
* Excessive fuel pressure
* Restricted air filter element
* Incorrect combustion
- Reduced ignition system voltage output
* Weak ignition coils
* Worn ignition wires
* Incorrect spark plug gap
- Excessive idling or slow speeds under light loads can keep spark plug temperatures so low that
normal combustion deposits may not burn off.
* Deposit fouling - Oil, coolant, or additives that include substances such as silicone, very white
coating, reduces the spark plug intensity. Most powdery deposits will not affect spark plug intensity
unless they form into a glazing over the electrode.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Tune-up and Engine Performance Checks > Compression
Check > System Information > Specifications
Compression Check: Specifications
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).

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.

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 07-08-42-006E
Date: November 11, 2010
Subject: Information on BCM Calibrations Available to Restore Bulb Outage Detection on Vehicles
Produced by a Second Stage Manufacturer, Turn Signals Flash Fast after Factory Box Removed
(Upfitter)
Models:
2007-2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2007-2011 GMC Sierra
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 07-08-42-006D (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
The information contained in this bulletin applies to vehicles that are to be completed by a second
stage manufacturer (upfitter) and may need to have the Body Control Module (BCM) rear turn
signal bulb outage detection capability changed. All production vehicles will be manufactured with
one of the following BCM rear turn signal bulb outage detection software options:
1. A standard production vehicle will have BCM software that checks for two bulbs functioning in
each rear turn signal bulb circuit. If one or more
bulbs are inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) turn signal
indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108 and Canada Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
2. Certain 2500 and 3500 models can be ordered with a new option (RPO 9U5) where the BCM
checks for one bulb functioning in each rear turn
signal bulb circuit. If the bulb goes inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel
Cluster (IPC) turn signal indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)
108 and Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
3. A vehicle built with a pickup box delete or chassis cab option (RPO ZW9) will be produced with a
BCM program that has no turn signal bulb
outage detection capability (LED compatible). The IPC turn signal indicator will flash at the same
rate no matter how many turn signal bulbs are inoperative.
In some cases, the upfitter may wish to change the turn signal bulb outage detection capability so
that the turn signals work correctly with their upfit or to meet certain requirements. This will require
contacting the Techline Customer Support Center (TCSC) to open a case and obtain a Vehicle
Configuration Index (VCI) number. Advise the TCSC consultant which turn signal bulb outage
detection capability is needed:
1. Factory standard production TWO bulb outage detection. 2. Optional (RPO 9U5) ONE bulb
outage detection. NOTE: ONLY AVAILABLE ON CERTAIN 2007-2011 MODEL 2500 AND 3500
VEHICLES.
3. NO bulb outage detection (LED compatible).
The BCM can then be reprogrammed with the correct software.

2. Certain 2500 and 3500 models can be ordered with a new option (RPO 9U5) where the BCM
checks for one bulb functioning in each rear turn
signal bulb circuit. If the bulb goes inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel
Cluster (IPC) turn signal indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)
108 and Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
3. A vehicle built with a pickup box delete or chassis cab option (RPO ZW9) will be produced with a
BCM program that has no turn signal bulb
outage detection capability (LED compatible). The IPC turn signal indicator will flash at the same
rate no matter how many turn signal bulbs are inoperative.
In some cases, the upfitter may wish to change the turn signal bulb outage detection capability so
that the turn signals work correctly with their upfit or to meet certain requirements. This will require
contacting the Techline Customer Support Center (TCSC) to open a case and obtain a Vehicle
Configuration Index (VCI) number. Advise the TCSC consultant which turn signal bulb outage
detection capability is needed:
1. Factory standard production TWO bulb outage detection. 2. Optional (RPO 9U5) ONE bulb
outage detection. NOTE: ONLY AVAILABLE ON CERTAIN 2007-2011 MODEL 2500 AND 3500
VEHICLES.
3. NO bulb outage detection (LED compatible).
The BCM can then be reprogrammed with the correct software.

Some technicians may experience an unsuccessful body control module (BCM) reprogramming
event, when choosing the Reprogram ECU selection on the Service Programming System (SPS).
The technician may also notice that when attempting to reprogram the BCM again after this
incident has occurred, the BCM may not complete the programming event.
This condition may be caused by the following:
- A reprogramming event that was interrupted due to a lack of communication between the vehicle
and the TIS2WEB terminal.
- The vehicle experienced low system voltage during the reprogramming event.
Important Do not replace the BCM for this condition.
SPS Programming Process Selection
Perform this procedure first.
1. If reprogramming has failed during the initial reprogramming event, back out of the SPS
application completely. 2. Re-select SPS from the TIS2WEB terminal application. 3. When
selecting the Programming Process , choose Replace and Program ECU , even though a new
BCM is NOT being installed. 4. Reprogram the BCM using the Service Programming System (SPS)
with the latest calibration available on TIS2WEB. Refer to the SPS procedures
in SI.
When using a multiple diagnostic interface (MDI) for reprogramming, ensure that it is updated with
the latest software version.
When using a Tech 2(R) for reprogramming, ensure that it is updated with the latest software
version.

Warranty Information coverage period. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 10-06-04-008
(Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illuminates after starting
the vehicle when they were using the engine coolant heater in very cold ambient temperatures.
This usually occurs in a range of -23 to -40°C (-10 to -40°F) or colder.
The technician may observe on a scan tool DTC P0116 and/or P1400 set as Current or in History.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the engine control module (ECM) determining that the ignition
OFF time requirement has been met at start-up and interpreting the temperature difference
between the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor and the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
as being outside of a calibrated range.
Correction
Important DO NOT replace the ECM for this condition.
Relocating the ECT Sensor
1. Turn ON the ignition with the engine OFF. 2. Perform the diagnostic system check - vehicle.
Refer to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in SI.

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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Electronic Throttle Actuator >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Page 4150
* Throttle default mode-The ECM will turn OFF the throttle actuator motor, and the throttle will
return to the spring loaded default position.
* Forced idle mode-The ECM will perform the following actions:
- Limit engine speed to idle positioning the throttle position, or by controlling the fuel and spark if
the throttle is turned OFF.
- Ignore the accelerator pedal input.
* Engine shutdown mode-The ECM will disable fuel and de-energize the throttle actuator.

Date: November 18, 2010
Subject: Info - Non-GM Parts and Accessories (Aftermarket)
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years and update to the new U.S. Fixed
Operation Manager (FOM) and Canada Warranty Manager (WM) names. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 04-06-04-054A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
The recent rise and expansion of companies selling non-GM parts and accessories has made it
necessary to issue this reminder to dealers regarding GM's policy on the use and installation of
these aftermarket components.
When a dealer is performing a repair under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, they are required to
use only genuine GM or GM-approved parts and accessories. This applies to all warranty repairs,
special policy repairs or any repairs paid for by GM. Parts and accessories advertised as being "the
same" as parts manufactured by GM, but not sold through GM, do not qualify for use in warranty
repairs, special policy repairs or any repairs paid for by GM.
During a warranty repair, if a GM original equipment part is not available through GM Customer
Care and Aftersales (GM CC&A;), ACDelco(R) distributors, other GM dealers or approved sources,
the dealer is to obtain comparable, non-GM parts and clearly indicate, in detail, on the repair order
the circumstances surrounding why non-GM parts were used. The dealer must give customers
written notice, prior to the sale or service, that such parts or accessories are not marketed or
warranted by General Motors.
It should also be noted that dealers modifying new vehicles and installing equipment, parts and
accessories obtained from sources not authorized by GM are responsible for complying with the
National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Certain non-approved parts or assemblies, installed
by the dealer or its agent not authorized by GM, may result in a change to the vehicle's design
characteristics and may affect the vehicle's ability to conform to federal law. Dealers must fully
understand that non-GM approved parts may not have been validated, tested or certified for use.
This puts the dealer at risk for potential liability in the event of a part or vehicle failure. If a GM part
failure occurs as the result of the installation or use of a non-GM approved part, the warranty will
not be honored.
A good example of non-authorized modification of vehicles is the result of an ever increasing
supply of aftermarket devices available to the customer, which claim to increase the horsepower
and torque of the Duramax(TM) Diesel Engines. These include the addition of, but are not limited to
one or more of the following modifications:
- Propane injection
- Nitrous oxide injection
- Additional modules (black boxes) that connect to the vehicle wiring systems
- Revised engine calibrations downloaded for the engine control module
- Calibration modules which connect to the vehicle diagnostic connector
- Modification to the engine turbocharger waste gate
Although the installation of these devices, or modification of vehicle components, can increase
engine horsepower and torque, they may also negatively affect the engine emissions, reliability
and/or durability. In addition, other powertrain components, such as transmissions, universal joints,
drive shafts, and front/rear axle components, can be stressed beyond design safety limits by the
installation of these devices.
General Motors does not support or endorse the use of devices or modifications that, when
installed, increase the engine horsepower and torque. It is because of these unknown stresses,
and the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a
policy that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining
warranty coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a
non-GM (aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is
subsequently removed. Refer to the latest version of Bulletin 09-06-04-026 (V8 Gas Engines) or
06-06-01-007 (Duramax(TM) Diesel Engines) for more information on dealer requirements for
calibration verification.
These same policies apply as they relate to the use of non-GM accessories. Damage or failure
from the use or installation of a non-GM accessory will not be covered under warranty. Failure
resulting from the alteration or modification of the vehicle, including the cutting, welding or
disconnecting of the vehicle's original equipment parts and components will void the warranty.
Additionally, dealers will NOT be reimbursed or compensated by GM in the event of any legal
inquiry at either the local, state or federal level that

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

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

Bulletin Number 04-06-04-054A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
The recent rise and expansion of companies selling non-GM parts and accessories has made it
necessary to issue this reminder to dealers regarding GM's policy on the use and installation of
these aftermarket components.
When a dealer is performing a repair under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, they are required to
use only genuine GM or GM-approved parts and accessories. This applies to all warranty repairs,
special policy repairs or any repairs paid for by GM. Parts and accessories advertised as being "the
same" as parts manufactured by GM, but not sold through GM, do not qualify for use in warranty
repairs, special policy repairs or any repairs paid for by GM.
During a warranty repair, if a GM original equipment part is not available through GM Customer
Care and Aftersales (GM CC&A;), ACDelco(R) distributors, other GM dealers or approved sources,
the dealer is to obtain comparable, non-GM parts and clearly indicate, in detail, on the repair order
the circumstances surrounding why non-GM parts were used. The dealer must give customers
written notice, prior to the sale or service, that such parts or accessories are not marketed or
warranted by General Motors.
It should also be noted that dealers modifying new vehicles and installing equipment, parts and
accessories obtained from sources not authorized by GM are responsible for complying with the
National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Certain non-approved parts or assemblies, installed
by the dealer or its agent not authorized by GM, may result in a change to the vehicle's design
characteristics and may affect the vehicle's ability to conform to federal law. Dealers must fully
understand that non-GM approved parts may not have been validated, tested or certified for use.
This puts the dealer at risk for potential liability in the event of a part or vehicle failure. If a GM part
failure occurs as the result of the installation or use of a non-GM approved part, the warranty will
not be honored.
A good example of non-authorized modification of vehicles is the result of an ever increasing
supply of aftermarket devices available to the customer, which claim to increase the horsepower
and torque of the Duramax(TM) Diesel Engines. These include the addition of, but are not limited to
one or more of the following modifications:
- Propane injection
- Nitrous oxide injection
- Additional modules (black boxes) that connect to the vehicle wiring systems
- Revised engine calibrations downloaded for the engine control module
- Calibration modules which connect to the vehicle diagnostic connector
- Modification to the engine turbocharger waste gate
Although the installation of these devices, or modification of vehicle components, can increase
engine horsepower and torque, they may also negatively affect the engine emissions, reliability
and/or durability. In addition, other powertrain components, such as transmissions, universal joints,
drive shafts, and front/rear axle components, can be stressed beyond design safety limits by the
installation of these devices.
General Motors does not support or endorse the use of devices or modifications that, when
installed, increase the engine horsepower and torque. It is because of these unknown stresses,
and the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a
policy that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining
warranty coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a
non-GM (aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is
subsequently removed. Refer to the latest version of Bulletin 09-06-04-026 (V8 Gas Engines) or
06-06-01-007 (Duramax(TM) Diesel Engines) for more information on dealer requirements for
calibration verification.
These same policies apply as they relate to the use of non-GM accessories. Damage or failure
from the use or installation of a non-GM accessory will not be covered under warranty. Failure
resulting from the alteration or modification of the vehicle, including the cutting, welding or
disconnecting of the vehicle's original equipment parts and components will void the warranty.
Additionally, dealers will NOT be reimbursed or compensated by GM in the event of any legal
inquiry at either the local, state or federal level that

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

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.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation
Engine Control Module Description
The powertrain has electronic controls to reduce exhaust emissions while maintaining excellent
driveability and fuel economy. The engine control module (ECM) is the control center of this
system. The ECM monitors numerous engine and vehicle functions. The ECM constantly monitors
information from various sensors and other inputs, and controls the systems that affect vehicle
performance and 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 malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL). When the ECM detects a malfunction, the ECM stores a diagnostic trouble
code (DTC). The problem area is identified by the particular DTC that is set. The control module
supplies a buffered voltage to various sensors and switches. Review the components and wiring
diagrams in order to determine which systems are controlled by the ECM.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Operation
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is located in the instrument panel cluster. The MIL will display
as either SERVICE ENGINE SOON or one of the following symbols when commanded ON:
The MIL indicates that an emissions related fault has occurred and vehicle service is required.
The following is a list of the modes of operation for the MIL:
* The MIL illuminates when the ignition is turned ON, with the engine OFF. This is a bulb test to
ensure the MIL is able to illuminate.
* The MIL turns OFF after the engine is started if a diagnostic fault is not present.
* The MIL remains illuminated after the engine is started if the control module detects a fault. A
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored any time the control module illuminates the MIL due to an
emissions related fault. The MIL turns OFF after three consecutive ignition cycles in which a Test
Passed has been reported for the diagnostic test that originally caused the MIL to illuminate.
* The MIL flashes if the control module detects a misfire condition which could damage the catalytic
converter.
* When the MIL is illuminated and the engine stalls, the MIL will remain illuminated as long as the
ignition is ON.
* When the MIL is not illuminated and the engine stalls, the MIL will not illuminate until the ignition
is cycled OFF and then ON.

Engine Control Module: Service and Repair
Engine Control Module Replacement
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: Record the current Engine Oil Life percentage, and use a scan tool to update the NEW ECM,
if replacing.

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

Troubleshooting with a Test Lamp
Troubleshooting with a Test Lamp
Special Tools
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.

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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4313
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.

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
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

(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.

* 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

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4318
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4319
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4320
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
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4321
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.

Connector Position Assurance Locks
Connector Position Assurance Locks
The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of
the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in
all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate
apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating
terminals of the connector.

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.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4338
* In some cases Bosch will actually be printed on the connector. If Bosch does not appear on the
connector, look for the Bosch logo. The Bosch logo is a circle with a blunted arrow inside. This logo
can appear anywhere on the connector and is often very small.
* In some cases Delphi will actually be printed on the connector. If Delphi is not printed on the
connector, look for PED. In both cases there is no specific orientation for Delphi or PED and they
can appear anywhere on the connector.

Repair Procedure
Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals.
The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping.
In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed.
The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool
has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped.
The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same
time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair
Micro 64 terminals.
Note: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long
enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough,
splice a small length of the same gauge wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on
the added wire.
1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation
from the wire.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

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

back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. See the release tool cross reference in the
Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
10. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the
wire out of the front of the connector instead of
pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.

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

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

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

The 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.
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4423
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 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.

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4424
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

repair 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

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

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.

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4431
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4432
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 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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus >

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

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

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

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

Information Bus: Description and Operation
Data Link Communications Description and Operation
Circuit Description
The communication among control modules is performed through the high speed GMLAN serial
data circuits and the low speed GMLAN 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 high and low speed networks. Refer to Body Control System
Description and Operation (See: Body and Frame/Body Control Systems/Description and
Operation) for more information about the gateway.
Signal supervision is the process of determining whether an expected signal is being received or
not. Some messages are sent on a periodic basis and are interpreted as a heartbeat of a device. If
such a signal is lost, the signal supervision part of the software will set a no communication DTC
(U. code) against the missing device. This code is mapped on the Tech 2 screen as a code against
the physical device. A lost communication DTC typically is set in modules other than the module
with a communication failure.
GMLAN High Speed Circuit Description
The data link connector (DLC) allows a scan tool to communicate with the high speed GMLAN
serial data circuit. The serial data is transmitted on 2 twisted wires that allow speed up to 500 Kb/s.
The twisted pair is terminated with two 120-ohm resistors, one is internal to the engine control
module (ECM) and the other is after the electronic brake control module (EBCM), or if equipped,
the suspension control module. 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 1 volt to
the high speed GMLAN serial data bus (+) and subtracts 1 volt from the high speed GMLAN serial
data bus (-) wire. If a communication signal is lost, the application will set a no communication code
against the respective control module. This code is mapped on the Tech 2 screen as a code
against the physical device. Note: a loss of serial data DTC does not represent a failure of the
module that the code is set in.
The high speed GMLAN serial data allows communication between the body control module
(BCM), ECM, transmission control module (TCM), vehicle communication interface module (VCIM),
4WD control module, EBCM, and the suspension control module depending on RPO.
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.
Under normal vehicle operating conditions, the speed of the buss is 33.33 Kb/s. This protocol
produces a simple pulse train sent out over the GMLAN low speed serial data bus. When a module
pulls the buss high, 5 volts, this creates a logic state of 0 on the buss. When the buss is pulled low,
0 volts, it is translated as a logic state of 1. To wake the control modules connected to the GMLAN
low speed serial data buss, a wake up signal is sent out over the buss. Modules connected to the

The data link connector (DLC) is a standardized 16-cavity connector. The DLC low speed serial
data circuit is connected directly to the instrument panel (I/P) splice then to all other splices or
modules. 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 specific 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.

This table identifies which serial data link that a particular module uses for in-vehicle data
transmission. Some modules may use more than one data link to communicate. Some modules
may have multiple communication circuits passing through them without actively communicating on
that data link. This table is used to assist in correcting a communication malfunction. For the
description and operation of these serial data communication circuits refer to Data Link

Diagnostic Fault Information
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus >
Component Information > Testing and Inspection > Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview > Page 4462
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.

Diagnostic Fault Information
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 Powertrain High Speed GMLAN buss during normal vehicle
operation. The Powertrain High Speed GMLAN is a differential bus. The Powertrain High Speed
GMLAN serial data bus (+) and Powertrain 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 Powertrain High Speed GMLAN serial data bus (+) circuit and
subtracts one volt from the Powertrain 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-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. 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 Powertrain 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 Powertrain 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.

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.

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

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

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 07-08-42-006E
Date: November 11, 2010
Subject: Information on BCM Calibrations Available to Restore Bulb Outage Detection on Vehicles
Produced by a Second Stage Manufacturer, Turn Signals Flash Fast after Factory Box Removed
(Upfitter)
Models:
2007-2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2007-2011 GMC Sierra
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 07-08-42-006D (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
The information contained in this bulletin applies to vehicles that are to be completed by a second
stage manufacturer (upfitter) and may need to have the Body Control Module (BCM) rear turn
signal bulb outage detection capability changed. All production vehicles will be manufactured with
one of the following BCM rear turn signal bulb outage detection software options:
1. A standard production vehicle will have BCM software that checks for two bulbs functioning in
each rear turn signal bulb circuit. If one or more
bulbs are inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) turn signal
indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108 and Canada Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
2. Certain 2500 and 3500 models can be ordered with a new option (RPO 9U5) where the BCM
checks for one bulb functioning in each rear turn
signal bulb circuit. If the bulb goes inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel
Cluster (IPC) turn signal indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)
108 and Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
3. A vehicle built with a pickup box delete or chassis cab option (RPO ZW9) will be produced with a
BCM program that has no turn signal bulb
outage detection capability (LED compatible). The IPC turn signal indicator will flash at the same
rate no matter how many turn signal bulbs are inoperative.
In some cases, the upfitter may wish to change the turn signal bulb outage detection capability so
that the turn signals work correctly with their upfit or to meet certain requirements. This will require
contacting the Techline Customer Support Center (TCSC) to open a case and obtain a Vehicle
Configuration Index (VCI) number. Advise the TCSC consultant which turn signal bulb outage
detection capability is needed:
1. Factory standard production TWO bulb outage detection. 2. Optional (RPO 9U5) ONE bulb
outage detection. NOTE: ONLY AVAILABLE ON CERTAIN 2007-2011 MODEL 2500 AND 3500
VEHICLES.
3. NO bulb outage detection (LED compatible).
The BCM can then be reprogrammed with the correct software.

Some technicians may experience an unsuccessful body control module (BCM) reprogramming
event, when choosing the Reprogram ECU selection on the Service Programming System (SPS).
The technician may also notice that when attempting to reprogram the BCM again after this
incident has occurred, the BCM may not complete the programming event.
This condition may be caused by the following:
- A reprogramming event that was interrupted due to a lack of communication between the vehicle
and the TIS2WEB terminal.
- The vehicle experienced low system voltage during the reprogramming event.
Important Do not replace the BCM for this condition.
SPS Programming Process Selection
Perform this procedure first.
1. If reprogramming has failed during the initial reprogramming event, back out of the SPS
application completely. 2. Re-select SPS from the TIS2WEB terminal application. 3. When
selecting the Programming Process , choose Replace and Program ECU , even though a new
BCM is NOT being installed. 4. Reprogram the BCM using the Service Programming System (SPS)
with the latest calibration available on TIS2WEB. Refer to the SPS procedures
in SI.
When using a multiple diagnostic interface (MDI) for reprogramming, ensure that it is updated with
the latest software version.
When using a Tech 2(R) for reprogramming, ensure that it is updated with the latest software
version.

Some technicians may experience an unsuccessful body control module (BCM) reprogramming
event, when choosing the Reprogram ECU selection on the Service Programming System (SPS).
The technician may also notice that when attempting to reprogram the BCM again after this
incident has occurred, the BCM may not complete the programming event.
This condition may be caused by the following:
- A reprogramming event that was interrupted due to a lack of communication between the vehicle
and the TIS2WEB terminal.
- The vehicle experienced low system voltage during the reprogramming event.
Important Do not replace the BCM for this condition.
SPS Programming Process Selection
Perform this procedure first.
1. If reprogramming has failed during the initial reprogramming event, back out of the SPS
application completely. 2. Re-select SPS from the TIS2WEB terminal application. 3. When
selecting the Programming Process , choose Replace and Program ECU , even though a new
BCM is NOT being installed. 4. Reprogram the BCM using the Service Programming System (SPS)
with the latest calibration available on TIS2WEB. Refer to the SPS procedures
in SI.
When using a multiple diagnostic interface (MDI) for reprogramming, ensure that it is updated with
the latest software version.
When using a Tech 2(R) for reprogramming, ensure that it is updated with the latest software
version.

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

Accessory Usage > Page 4593
results from the alteration or modification of a vehicle using non-GM approved parts or accessories.
Dealers should be especially cautious of accessory companies that claim the installation of their
product will not void the factory warranty. Many times these companies have even given direction
on how to quickly disassemble the accessory in an attempt to preclude the manufacturer from
finding out that is has been installed.
Any suspect repairs should be reviewed by the Fixed Operations Manager (FOM), and in Canada
by the Warranty Manager (WM) for appropriate repair direction. If it is decided that a goodwill repair
is to be made on the vehicle, even with the installation of such non-GM approved components, the
customer is to be made aware of General Motors position on this issue and is to sign the
appropriate goodwill documentation required by General Motors.
It is imperative for dealers to understand that by installing such devices, they are jeopardizing not
only the warranty coverage, but also the performance and reliability of the customer's vehicle.

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

The purpose of this bulletin is to provide a summary of the steps required for the technician to
install LPO dealer installed 20/22 inch accessory wheels on a full-size utility or pickup.
These wheel options are identified with the RPO code RPP (this designates the 17" wheel and tire
that will be removed by the dealer).
The following RPO codes designate the 20 inch or 22 inch accessory wheel that will be installed by
the dealer: VSA, VSB, VSC, VSF, VS3, VZJ, VZK, VS5, VS4, VSJ, VSK, VZH, VSN, VS8.
Vehicles with option RPP always require the following installation steps:
1. Install new accessory tire/wheel assemblies to the vehicle. 2. Reprogram the control modules for
the new tire/wheel size (steps 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 must be completed in order).
1. Contact TCSC to set-up the calibration database for the new tire size. 2. For 2009 and 2010
models, reprogram the EBCM (Electronic Brake Control Module) - use Tech 2(R) pass-thru
programming in the Service
Programming System (SPS).
3. Reprogram the ECM (Engine Control Module) - use Tech 2 pass-thru programming in the
Service Programming System (SPS).
3. Reset the tire type and pressure.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to perform a module set up for the RCDLR Module. Go to "Tire
Type/Pressure Selection". 2. Select correct tire type (P-metric) and select the new tire pressure
based on the new tire placard included with the accessory wheels.
4. Learn the new tire pressure monitor (TPM) sensors to the vehicle. 5. Install the new tire placard
included with the accessory wheels. 6. Set the inflation pressure of each tire to the new placard
value.

Attention:
This bulletin applies to V8 gas powered engines ONLY. For Duramax(TM) diesel powered engines,
refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 08-06-04-006G.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2010 model year and information about
retrieving calibrations on a Global A vehicle. 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:

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

Usage > Page 4617
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.

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 09-06-04-026B
Date: April 07, 2010
Subject: Identifying Non-GM (Aftermarket) Engine and Transmission Calibrations for V8 Gas
Engines Using Tech 2(R) or Global Diagnostic System (GDS)
Models:
2006-2010 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 Corporate Bulletin Number 08-06-04-006G.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2010 model year and information about
retrieving calibrations on a Global A vehicle. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number
09-06-04-026A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
General Motors is identifying an increasing number of engine, transmission and catalytic converter
part failures that are the result of non-GM (aftermarket) engine and transmission control
calibrations being used.
When alteration to the GM-released engine or transmission control calibrations occurs, it subjects
powertrain and driveline components (engine, transmission, transfer case, driveshaft and rear axle)
to stresses that were not tested by General Motors. It is because of these unknown stresses, and
the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a policy
that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining warranty
coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a non-GM
(aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is
subsequently removed.
Warranty coverage is based on the equipment and calibrations that were released on the vehicle at
time of sale, or subsequently updated by GM. That's because GM testing and validation matches
the calibration to a host of criteria that is essential to assure reliability, durability and emissions
performance over the life of the warranty coverage and beyond. Stresses resulting from
calibrations different from those tested and released by GM can damage or weaken components,
leading to poor performance and or shortened life.
Additionally, non-GM (aftermarket) issued engine control modifications often do not meet the same
emissions performance standards as GM issued calibrations. Depending on state statutes,
individuals who install engine control module calibrations that put the vehicle outside the
parameters of emissions certification standards may be subject to fines and/or penalties.
This bulletin outlines a procedure to identify the presence of non-GM (aftermarket) calibrations. GM
recommends performing this check whenever a hard part failure is seen on internal engine or
transmission components, or before an engine assembly or transmission assembly is being
replaced under warranty. It is also recommended that the engine calibration verification procedure
be performed whenever diagnostics indicate that catalytic converter replacement is indicated.
The PQC has a process to confirm the ECM/PCM calibration is GM issued. The PQC will require a
picture of the engine calibration verification screen, as outlined in this bulletin, before authorizing
any V8 gas powered engine replacement.
If a non-GM calibration is found and verification has taken place through GM, the remaining
powertrain and driveline warranty will be blocked and notated in GMVIS and the dealership will be
notified. This block prevents any UNAUTHORIZED warranty claim submission.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation
Engine Control Module Description
The powertrain has electronic controls to reduce exhaust emissions while maintaining excellent
driveability and fuel economy. The engine control module (ECM) is the control center of this
system. The ECM monitors numerous engine and vehicle functions. The ECM constantly monitors
information from various sensors and other inputs, and controls the systems that affect vehicle
performance and 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 malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL). When the ECM detects a malfunction, the ECM stores a diagnostic trouble
code (DTC). The problem area is identified by the particular DTC that is set. The control module
supplies a buffered voltage to various sensors and switches. Review the components and wiring
diagrams in order to determine which systems are controlled by the ECM.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Operation
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is located in the instrument panel cluster. The MIL will display
as either SERVICE ENGINE SOON or one of the following symbols when commanded ON:
The MIL indicates that an emissions related fault has occurred and vehicle service is required.
The following is a list of the modes of operation for the MIL:
* The MIL illuminates when the ignition is turned ON, with the engine OFF. This is a bulb test to
ensure the MIL is able to illuminate.
* The MIL turns OFF after the engine is started if a diagnostic fault is not present.
* The MIL remains illuminated after the engine is started if the control module detects a fault. A
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored any time the control module illuminates the MIL due to an
emissions related fault. The MIL turns OFF after three consecutive ignition cycles in which a Test
Passed has been reported for the diagnostic test that originally caused the MIL to illuminate.
* The MIL flashes if the control module detects a misfire condition which could damage the catalytic
converter.
* When the MIL is illuminated and the engine stalls, the MIL will remain illuminated as long as the
ignition is ON.
* When the MIL is not illuminated and the engine stalls, the MIL will not illuminate until the ignition
is cycled OFF and then ON.

Engine Control Module: Service and Repair
Engine Control Module Replacement
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: Record the current Engine Oil Life percentage, and use a scan tool to update the NEW ECM,
if replacing.

following service procedures have been performed, regardless of whether DTC P0315 is set:
* An engine replacement
* A engine control module (ECM) replacement
* A crankshaft balancer replacement
* A crankshaft replacement
* A crankshaft position sensor replacement
* Any engine repairs which disturb the crankshaft to crankshaft position sensor relationship.
Note: The ECM monitors certain component signals to determine if all the conditions are met to
continue with the crankshaft position System Variation Learn Procedure.
1. Monitor the engine control module (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.
2. Select the crankshaft position (CKP) variation learn procedure with a scan tool. 3. The scan tool
instructs you to perform the following:
Important: Close the hood.
Important: The engine must be at operating temperature.
1. Block drive wheels. 2. Set parking brake. 3. Apply and hold brake pedal.
Important: The vehicle must remain in PARK.
4. Start the engine.
Important: The scan tool monitors certain component signals to determine if all the conditions are
met to continue with the procedure. The scan tool only displays the condition that inhibits the
procedure. The scan tool monitors the following components:
* CKP sensors activity-If there is a CKP sensor condition, refer to the applicable DTC that set.
* Camshaft position (CMP) sensor activity-If there is a CMP sensor condition, refer to the
applicable DTC that set.
* Engine coolant temperature (ECT)-If the ECT is not warm enough, idle the engine until the engine
coolant temperature reaches the correct temperature.
4. Enable the CKP System Variation Learn Procedure with a scan tool. 5. Quickly apply and
release the accelerator pedal. 6. Test in progress.
Important: 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

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.

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

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

making the sensor easier to remove. New, or service replacement sensors already have the
compound applied to the threads. If the sensor is removed from an exhaust component and if for
any reason the sensor is to be reinstalled, the threads must have anti-seize compound applied
before the reinstallation.
1. If reinstalling the old sensor, coat the threads with anti-seize compound GM P/N 12377953, or
equivalent.
Caution: Refer to Component Fastener Tightening Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle
Damage Warnings/Component Fastener Tightening Caution)
2. Install the HO2S (3).

Valve Deactivation Solenoid: Description and Operation
Cylinder Deactivation (Active Fuel Management) System Description
To provide maximum fuel economy under light load driving conditions, the engine control module
(ECM) will command the cylinder deactivation system ON to deactivate engine cylinders 1, 7, 6,
and 4, switching to a V4 mode. The engine will operate on 8 cylinders, or V8 mode, during engine
starting, engine idling, and medium to heavy throttle applications.
When cylinder deactivation is commanded, the ECM will determine what cylinder is firing and begin
deactivation on the next closest deactivated cylinder in firing order sequence. For example, if
cylinder number 1 is on its combustion event when cylinder deactivation is commanded ON, the
next cylinder in the firing order sequence that can be deactivated is cylinder number 7. If cylinder
number 5 is on its combustion event when cylinder deactivation is commanded ON, then the next
cylinder in the firing order sequence that can be deactivated is cylinder number 4.
Cylinder deactivation is accomplished by not allowing the intake and exhaust valves to open on the
selected cylinders by using special valve lifters. The deactivation lifters contain spring loaded
locking pins that connect the internal pin housing of the lifter to the outer housing.
The pin housing contains the lifter plunger and pushrod seat which interfaces with the pushrod. The
outer housing contacts the camshaft lobe through a roller. During V8 mode, when all cylinders are
active, the locking pins are pushed outward by spring force, locking the pin housing and outer
housing together causing the lifter to function as a normal lifter. When cylinder deactivation is
commanded ON, the locking pins are pushed inward with engine oil pressure directed from the
valve lifter oil manifold (VLOM) assembly solenoids. When the lifter pin housing is unlocked from
the outer housing, the pin housing will remain stationary, while the outer housing will move with the
profile of the camshaft lobe, which results in the valve remaining closed. One VLOM solenoid
controls both the intake and exhaust valves for each deactivating cylinder. There are 2 distinct oil
passages going to each cylinder deactivation lifter bore, one for the hydraulic lash-adjusting feature
of the lifter, and one for controlling the locking pins used for cylinder deactivation.
Although both intake and exhaust valve lifters are controlled by the same solenoid in the VLOM,
the intake and exhaust valves do not become deactivated at the same time. Cylinder deactivation
is timed so that the cylinder is on an intake event. During an intake event, the intake cam lobe is
pushing the valve lifter upwards to open the intake valve against the force of the valve spring. The
force exerted by the valve spring is acting on the side of the lifter locking pins, preventing them
from moving until the intake valve has closed. When the intake valve lifter reaches the base circle
of the camshaft lobe, the valve spring force is reduced, allowing the locking pins to move,
deactivating the intake valve. However, when cylinder deactivation is commanded ON, the exhaust
valve for the deactivated cylinder is in the closed position, allowing the locking pins on the valve
lifter to move immediately, and deactivate the exhaust valve.
By deactivating the exhaust valve first, this allows the capture of a burnt air/fuel charge, or exhaust
gas charge, in the combustion chamber. The capture
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

> Component Information > Diagrams > Page 4867
of exhaust gases in the combustion chamber will contribute to a reduction in oil consumption, noise
and vibration levels, and exhaust emissions when operating in V4 mode cylinder deactivation
mode.
During the transition from V8 to V4 mode, the fuel injectors will be turned OFF on the deactivated
cylinders. To help prevent spark plug fouling, the ignition system secondary voltage or spark is still
present across the spark plug electrodes on the deactivated cylinders. If all enabling conditions are
met and maintained for cylinder deactivation operation, the ECM calibrations will limit cylinder
deactivation to a cycle time of 10 minutes in V4 mode, then return to V8 mode for 1 minute.
Switching between V8 and V4 modes is accomplished in less than 250 milliseconds, making the
transitions seamless and transparent to the vehicle operator. The 250 milliseconds includes the
time for the ECM to sequence the transitions, the response time for the VLOM solenoids to
energize, and the time for the valve lifters to deactivate, all within 2 revolutions of the engine
crankshaft.
Valve Lifter Oil Manifold (VLOM) Assembly
The cylinder deactivation system uses an electro-hydraulic actuator device called the valve lifter oil
manifold (VLOM) assembly. The VLOM is bolted to the top of the engine valley, below the intake
manifold assembly. The VLOM consists of 4 electrically operated normally closed solenoids. Each
solenoid controls the application of engine oil pressure to the intake and exhaust valve lifters on the
cylinders selected to deactivate. Engine oil pressure is routed to the VLOM assembly from an
internal oil passage on the rear of the cylinder block.
All 4 VLOM solenoids are connected in parallel to a fused ignition 1 voltage circuit, supplied by the
powertrain relay. The ground or control circuit for each solenoid is connected to a low side driver
internal to the engine control module (ECM).
When all enabling conditions are met for cylinder deactivation, the ECM will ground each solenoid
control circuit in firing order sequence, allowing current to flow through the solenoid windings. With
the coil windings energized, the solenoid valve opens, redirecting engine oil pressure through the
VLOM into 8 separate vertical passages in the engine lifter valley. The 8 vertical passages, 2 per
cylinder, are connected to the valve lifter bores of the cylinders to be deactivated. When
vehicle-operating conditions require a return to V8 mode, the ECM will turn OFF the control circuit
for the solenoids, allowing the solenoid valves to close. With the solenoid valves closed, engine oil
pressure in the control ports is exhausted through the body of the solenoids into the engine block
lifter valley. The housing of the VLOM incorporates several bleeds in the oil passages to purge any
air trapped in the VLOM or engine block.
To help control contamination to the hydraulic circuits, a small replaceable oil screen is located in
the VLOM oil inlet passage, below the oil pressure sensor. The oil pressure sensor is a 3-wire
sensor which provides oil pressure information to the ECM.
During service, use extreme care in keeping the VLOM assembly free of any contamination or
foreign material.
Cylinder deactivation may be inhibited for many reasons including the following:
* Engine coolant temperature out of range for cylinder activation
* Engine vacuum out of range
* Brake booster vacuum out of range
* Transmission gear incorrect or shift in progress
* Accelerator pedal out of range or rate of pedal application to fast
* Engine oil pressure and temperature out of range
* Engine speed of range
* Vehicle speed out of range
* Minimum time in V8 mode not met
* Maximum V4 mode time exceeded
* Decel fuel cutoff active
* Reduced engine power active
* Torque management active
* Catalytic converter over temperature protection active
* Piston protection active, knock detected
* Cylinder deactivation solenoid driver circuit faults

Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation
Camshaft Actuator System Description
Camshaft Position (CMP) Actuator System
The camshaft position (CMP) actuator system is used for a variety of engine performance
enhancements. These enhancements include lower emission output through exhaust gas
recirculation (EGR) control, a wider engine torque range, improved gas mileage, and improved
engine idle stability. The CMP actuator system accomplishes this by controlling the amount of
intake and exhaust valve overlap. For the 6.0 liter (LY6, L76) and the 6.2 liter (L92) engine, the
Park position for the CMP actuator and camshaft is 8.5 degrees before top dead center (BTDC) or
17 crankshaft degrees BTDC. The engine control module (ECM) can only command the CMP
actuator to retard the valve timing from the Park position or advance the valve timing back to the
Park position. The total range of valve timing authority is 31 degrees camshaft rotation, or 62
degrees of crankshaft rotation. The control range is from the Park position of 8.5 degrees camshaft
or 17 degrees crankshaft BTDC, to 22.5 degrees camshaft or 45 degrees crankshaft after top dead
center (ATDC).
CMP Actuator System Operation
The camshaft position (CMP) actuator system is controlled by the control module. The control
module sends a pulse width modulated 12-volt signal to a CMP actuator solenoid in order to control
the amount of engine oil flow to a camshaft actuator passage. There are 2 different passages for oil
to flow through, a passage for cam advance and a passage for cam retard. The camshaft actuator
is attached to the front of the camshaft and is hydraulically operated in order to change the angle of
the camshaft relative to crankshaft position (CKP). Incorrect engine oil pressure (EOP), viscosity,
temperature, engine oil level, or aftermarket engine oil additives can have an adverse affect on
camshaft phaser performance.
CMP Actuator Solenoid Circuit Diagnostics
The engine control module (ECM) monitors the control circuit of the camshaft position (CMP)
actuator solenoid for electrical faults. The control module has the ability to determine if a control
circuit is open, shorted high, or shorted low. If the control module detects a fault with the CMP
actuator solenoid control circuit, DTC P0010 will set.
CMP Actuator System Performance Diagnostic
The engine control module (ECM) monitors the performance of the camshaft position (CMP)
actuator system by monitoring the calibrated desired position and the actual position of the
camshaft through the 4X signal of the CMP sensor. If the difference between the actual and
desired position is

Condition
Some customers may comment about the check engine light being illuminated. They may also
comment that their vehicle is difficult to fill with fuel or when filling, the pump continuously shuts off
before the tank is full.
When checking the vehicle for DTCs, the ECM may report one or more of the following DTCs set
as current or in history: P0442, P0446, P0449 or P0455.
Cause
The EVAP canister vent solenoid (CVS) valve draws fresh air into the system through a vent.
Under certain operating conditions, dirt and dust intrusion into the EVAP CVS fresh air
intake/venting system, may result in restricted air flow.
Under certain operating conditions, water, if ingested into the EVAP CVS fresh air intake/venting
system, may reach the CVS valve causing corrosion in the CVS valve, and may cause restrictions
in the fresh air intake path, when the valve is in the closed position.
Correction (1999-2007 Classic/Old Style Models)
After following the published SI diagnostics and determining that the EVAP canister vent valve is
the cause of the MIL light, replace the existing EVAP canister vent valve assembly with a new
assembly. This new assembly is a sealed unit that is designed to be vented through a remote filter
box. To ensure correct installation, follow the procedures below.
Important DO NOT replace the EVAP canister assembly for this concern unless it fails the leak test.
1999-2003 Model Year (Use Service Kit P/N 19207762)
1. Raise the vehicle. Suitably support the vehicle. 2. Disconnect the EVAP canister vent valve
electrical connector, if equipped. 3. Disengage the two vent valve pipe clips securing the pipe to the
underbody. Remove the clips from the underbody and discard. 4. Disconnect the vent valve pipe at

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to include the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-03-10-008A (Section 03 - Suspension).
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide a summary of the steps required for the technician to
install LPO dealer installed 20/22 inch accessory wheels on a full-size utility or pickup.
These wheel options are identified with the RPO code RPP (this designates the 17" wheel and tire
that will be removed by the dealer).
The following RPO codes designate the 20 inch or 22 inch accessory wheel that will be installed by
the dealer: VSA, VSB, VSC, VSF, VS3, VZJ, VZK, VS5, VS4, VSJ, VSK, VZH, VSN, VS8.
Vehicles with option RPP always require the following installation steps:
1. Install new accessory tire/wheel assemblies to the vehicle. 2. Reprogram the control modules for
the new tire/wheel size (steps 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 must be completed in order).
1. Contact TCSC to set-up the calibration database for the new tire size. 2. For 2009 and 2010
models, reprogram the EBCM (Electronic Brake Control Module) - use Tech 2(R) pass-thru
programming in the Service
Programming System (SPS).
3. Reprogram the ECM (Engine Control Module) - use Tech 2 pass-thru programming in the
Service Programming System (SPS).
3. Reset the tire type and pressure.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to perform a module set up for the RCDLR Module. Go to "Tire
Type/Pressure Selection". 2. Select correct tire type (P-metric) and select the new tire pressure
based on the new tire placard included with the accessory wheels.
4. Learn the new tire pressure monitor (TPM) sensors to the vehicle. 5. Install the new tire placard
included with the accessory wheels. 6. Set the inflation pressure of each tire to the new placard
value.
For additional information on this process, please refer to Corporate Bulletin 06-03-10-001G (SUV)
or 06-03-10-011F (Pickup).

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.

Condition
Some customers may comment about the check engine light being illuminated. They may also
comment that their vehicle is difficult to fill with fuel or when filling, the pump continuously shuts off
before the tank is full.
When checking the vehicle for DTCs, the ECM may report one or more of the following DTCs set
as current or in history: P0442, P0446, P0449 or P0455.
Cause
The EVAP canister vent solenoid (CVS) valve draws fresh air into the system through a vent.
Under certain operating conditions, dirt and dust intrusion into the EVAP CVS fresh air
intake/venting system, may result in restricted air flow.
Under certain operating conditions, water, if ingested into the EVAP CVS fresh air intake/venting
system, may reach the CVS valve causing corrosion in the CVS valve, and may cause restrictions
in the fresh air intake path, when the valve is in the closed position.

Fuel System Diagnosis (FPCM)
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) supplies voltage to the fuel pump control module (FPCM) when
the ECM detects that the ignition is ON. The voltage from the ECM to the FPCM remains active for
2 seconds, unless the engine is in Crank or Run. While this voltage is being received, the FPCM
closes the ground switch of the fuel pump and also supplies a varying voltage to the fuel tank pump
module in order to maintain the desired fuel rail pressure.
The fuel system is an electronic returnless on-demand design. 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 is contained by the fuel
pump module inside the fuel tank. The fuel pump supplies high pressure fuel through the fuel filter
and the fuel feed pipe to 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 pump module contains a reverse flow check valve. The check
valve maintains fuel pressure in the fuel feed pipe and the fuel rail in order to prevent long cranking
times.

Throttle/Idle Learn
Description
The engine control module (ECM) learns the airflow through the throttle body 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 throttle body coking. Anytime the throttle body airflow rate changes, for
example due to cleaning or replacing, the values must be relearned.
An engine 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.

Throttle Learn
Reset Procedure (Performed after the throttle body is cleaned or replaced)
1. Ignition ON, engine OFF, perform the Idle Learn Reset in Module Setup with a scan tool. 2. Start
the engine and monitor the TB Idle Airflow Compensation parameter. The TB Idle Airflow
Compensation value should equal 0 percent and
the engine should be idling at a normal idle speed.
3. Clear the DTCs and return to the diagnostic that referred you here.
Learn Procedure (Performed after the ECM is flashed or replaced)
Note: Do NOT perform this 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. Start and idle the engine for 3 minutes. 2. With a scan tool, monitor the Desired Idle Speed and
the actual Engine Speed. 3. The ECM will start to learn the new idle cells and Desired Idle Speed
should start to decrease. 4. Ignition OFF for 60 seconds. 5. Start and idle the engine for 3 minutes.
6. After the 3 minute run time the engine should be idling normal.
Note: 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.
‹› 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.
7. 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.
8. Once the engine speed has returned to normal, clear DTCs and return to the diagnostic that
referred you here.

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.

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,

Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis (Without Special Tool)
Description
Water contamination in the fuel system may cause driveability conditions such as hesitation,
stalling, no start, or misfires in one or more cylinders. Water may collect near a single fuel injector
at the lowest point in the fuel injection system, and cause a misfire in that cylinder. If the fuel
system is contaminated with water, inspect the fuel system components for rust, or deterioration.
Alcohol concentrations of 10 percent or greater in fuel can be detrimental to fuel system
components. Alcohol contamination may cause fuel system corrosion, deterioration of rubber
components, and subsequent fuel filter restriction. Some types of alcohol are more detrimental to
fuel system components than others. Ethanol is commonly used in gasoline, but in concentrations
of no more than 10 percent. Some fuels, such as E85, contain a very high percentage of ethanol.
Fuel with more than 10 percent ethanol may cause driveability conditions such as hesitation, lack
of power, stalling, or no start.
Alcohol in Fuel Testing Procedure
Important: Do not perform this diagnostic procedure unless directed to do so by another diagnostic.
The fuel sample should be drawn from the bottom of the tank so that any water present in the tank
will be detected. The sample should be bright and clear. If alcohol contamination is suspected then
use the following procedure to test the fuel quality.
1. Using a 100 ml (3.4 oz) specified cylinder with 1 ml (0.03 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 (3.4 oz) and install a stopper. 3. Shake the cylinder vigorously for 10-15 seconds.
4. Carefully loosen the stopper in order to release the pressure. 5. Re-install the stopper and shake
the cylinder vigorously again for 10-15 seconds. 6. Put the cylinder on a level surface for
approximately 5 minutes in order to allow adequate liquid separation.
If alcohol is present in the fuel, the volume of the lower layer, which would now contain both alcohol
and water, will be more than 10 ml (0.34 oz). For example, if the volume of the lower layer is
increased to 15 ml (0.51 oz), this indicates at least 5 percent alcohol in the fuel. The actual amount
of alcohol may be somewhat more because this procedure does not extract all of the alcohol from
the fuel.
Particulate Contaminants in Fuel Testing Procedure
The fuel sample should be drawn from the bottom of the tank so that any water present in the tank
will be detected. The sample should be bright and clear. If the sample appears cloudy, or
contaminated with water, as indicated by a water layer at the bottom of the sample, use the
following procedure to diagnose the fuel.
1. Using an approved fuel container, draw approximately 0.5 liter (0.13 gal) of fuel. 2. Place the
cylinder on a level surface for approximately 5 minutes in order to allow settling of the particulate
contamination.
Particulate contamination will show up in various shapes and colors. Sand will typically be identified
by a white or light brown crystals. Rubber will appear as black and irregular particles. If particles
are found clean the entire fuel system thoroughly.

Fuel Composition Diagnosis
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 10 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.

Description
Water contamination in the fuel system may cause driveability conditions such as hesitation,

at the lowest point in the fuel injection system, and cause a misfire in that cylinder. If the fuel
system is contaminated with water, inspect the fuel system components for rust or deterioration.
Ethanol concentrations of greater than 10 percent can cause driveability conditions and fuel system
deterioration. Fuel with more than 10 percent ethanol could result in driveability conditions such as
hesitation, lack of power, stalling , or no start. Excessive concentrations of ethanol used in vehicles
not designed for it may cause fuel system corrosion, deterioration of rubber components, and fuel
filter restriction.
Test Procedure
Important: Do not perform this diagnostic procedure unless directed to do so by another diagnostic.
1. Test the fuel composition using J 44175 Fuel Composition Tester and J44175-3 Instruction
Manual. 2. Subtract 50 from the reading on the DMM in order to obtain the percentage of alcohol in
the fuel sample. Refer to the examples in the Fuel
Composition Test Examples table.
3. If the fuel sample contains more than 15 percent ethanol, add fresh, regular gasoline to the
vehicle's fuel tank. 4. Test the fuel composition. 5. If testing shows the ethanol percentage is still
more than 15 percent, replace the fuel in the vehicle.

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 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 11-14 ohms.
‹› If the injectors measure OK, perform the Active Fuel Injector Tester (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 3
ohms.
‹› If the difference is equal to or less than 3 ohms, refer to AFIT Test Procedure. ‹› If the difference
is more than 3 ohms, add all of the fuel injector resistance values to obtain a total resistance value.
Divide the total resistance

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

Fuel Injector Coil Test
Verify the resistance of each fuel injector with one of the following methods:
* If the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is between 10-32°C (50-90°F), the resistance of
each fuel injector should be 11-14 ohms.
‹› If the injectors measure OK, perform the Fuel Injector Balance Test - Fuel Pressure 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 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 3
ohms.
‹› If the difference is equal to or less than 3 ohms, refer to Fuel Injector Balance Test - Fuel
Pressure Test for further diagnosis of the fuel
injectors.
‹› If the difference is more than 3 ohms, add all of the fuel injector resistance values to obtain a

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) supplies voltage to the fuel pump control module (FPCM) when
the ECM detects that the ignition is ON. The voltage from the ECM to the FPCM remains active for
2 seconds, unless the engine is in Crank or Run. While this voltage is being received, the FPCM
closes the ground switch of the fuel pump and also supplies a varying voltage to the fuel tank pump
module in order to maintain the desired fuel rail pressure.
The fuel system is an electronic returnless on-demand design. 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 is contained by the fuel
pump module inside the fuel tank. The fuel pump supplies high pressure fuel through the fuel filter
and the fuel feed pipe to 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 pump module contains a reverse flow check valve. The check
valve maintains fuel pressure in the fuel feed pipe and the fuel rail in order to prevent long cranking
times.

Electronic Ignition 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
This ignition system uses individual ignition module/coil assemblies for each cylinder. The engine
control module (ECM) controls the spark events by transmitting the timing pulses on the ignition
control (IC) circuits to the individual ignition module/coil assemblies in firing order sequence. Each
ignition module/coil has the following circuits:
* An ignition 1 voltage circuit
* A ground circuit
* An IC circuit
* A low reference circuit
Diagnostic Aids
* This test procedure requires that the vehicle battery has passed a load test and is completely
charged.
* There is an adequate supply of fuel in the fuel tank.
* When disconnecting electrical connectors or removing fuses and relays from a fuse block, always
inspect both mating electrical terminals for corrosion and terminal tightness.
* Use the J 35616 for any test that requires probing the underhood fuse block terminals,
component wire harness terminals, or the ECM wire harness terminals.

Circuit/System Verification
Observe the Engine Controls Schematic for the ignition module/coils, and review the Ignition
System Specifications to verify the following concerns:
* The ignition modules/coils are correctly wired and connected
* The proper spark plug type
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Ignition System > Ignition Coil > Component Information >
Diagrams > Page 5331
* The proper spark plug gap and torque
* The proper ohm values for the spark plug wires Refer to Ignition System Specifications (See:
Specifications).
Circuit/System Testing
1. Turn OFF the ignition.
Important: This engine application uses 2 fuses, one for each bank, to supply ignition 1 voltage to
the ignition module/coil assemblies and also to the fuel injectors. A good indication that a fuse is
open is that all 4 misfire counters are incrementing on one side of the engine
2. Inspect both fuses that supply ignition voltage to the ignition module/coils.
‹› If a fuse is open, test all 8 ignition voltage circuits to the ignition module/coils or the fuel injectors
on that engine bank, for a short to ground.
3. Disconnect the 4 ignition module/coil, and the 4 fuel injector electrical connectors, for the engine
bank that has the open fuse. 4. Replace the open fuse with a new fuse. 5. Ignition ON, engine
OFF. 6. Reconnect each ignition module/coil, and fuel injector electrical connectors, one at a time.
‹› If the fuse opens when connecting an ignition module/coil or fuel injector electrical connector,
then replace the component that caused the fuse
to open.
7. Ignition OFF, disconnect the appropriate ignition module/coil electrical connector. 8. Ignition ON,
verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition voltage circuit and ground.
‹› If the test lamp does not illuminate test the ignition voltage circuit for an open/high resistance.
9. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition module/coil ground circuit and B+.
‹› If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition module/coil ground circuit for an open/high
resistance.
10. Inspect and measure the resistance of the spark plug wire. Refer to Spark Plug Wire Inspection
(See: Ignition Cable/Testing and Inspection) and
Ignition System Specifications (See: Specifications).
‹› If the resistance value is not within the specified range, or does not pass the inspection, replace
the spark plug wire.
11. Exchange the misfiring cylinder, ignition module/coil assembly with the ignition module/coil
assembly from a non-misfiring cylinder. 12. Start and idle the engine. Observe the misfire counters
on the scan tool.
‹› If the misfire transfers with the suspect ignition module/coil, then replace the ignition module/coil
assembly. ‹› If the misfire does not transfer with the suspect ignition module/coil, then measure the
resistance of the IC circuit. The IC circuit should
measure less than 5 ohms. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
Component Testing
* Use the Spark Plug Inspection procedure to verify the integrity of the spark plugs. Refer to Spark
Plug Inspection (See: Spark Plug/Testing and Inspection). Replace the spark plug if necessary.
Important: An erratic or weak spark is considered a no spark condition.
* Use the J 26792 to verify the output of each ignition module/coil. If no spark is detected across
the gap of the spark plug tester, then replace the ignition module/coil assembly.
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.

Spark Plug: Testing and Inspection
Spark Plug Inspection
* Verify 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, replace with a colder plug
- Pre-ignition causing spark plug and/or engine damage , replace with a hotter plug
* 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, or 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 will cause arcing to ground.
* Inspect the insulator (2) for cracks. All or part of the electrical charge may arc through the crack
instead of the electrodes (3, 4).
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Ignition System > Spark Plug > Component Information >
Specifications > Page 5393
* Inspect for evidence of improper arcing.
- Measure the gap between the center electrode (4) and the side electrode (3). 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.
Visual Inspection
* Normal operation - Brown to grayish-tan with small amounts of white powdery deposits are
normal combustion by-products from fuels with additives.
* Carbon fouled - Dry, fluffy black carbon, or soot caused by the following conditions:
- Rich fuel mixtures
* Leaking fuel injectors
* Excessive fuel pressure
* Restricted air filter element
* Incorrect combustion
- Reduced ignition system voltage output
* Weak ignition coils
* Worn ignition wires
* Incorrect spark plug gap
- Excessive idling or slow speeds under light loads can keep spark plug temperatures so low that
normal combustion deposits may not burn off.
* Deposit fouling - Oil, coolant, or additives that include substances such as silicone, very white
coating, reduces the spark plug intensity. Most powdery deposits will not affect spark plug intensity
unless they form into a glazing over the electrode.

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.

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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Transmission Control Systems > Actuators and Solenoids Transmission and Drivetrain > Actuators and Solenoids - A/T > Shift Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5465
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.

Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector.
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
Note: When probing female 0.64 terminals, it is important to use the correct adapter. There have
been some revisions to the test adapter for 0.64 terminals. The proper adapter for 0.64 terminals is
the J-35616-64B which has a gold terminal and a black wire between the base and tip. Failure to
use the proper test adapter may result in damage to the terminal being tested and improper
diagnosis.
Note: The proper adapter for probing the terminals for fuses, relays, or diodes in an electrical
center is J-35616-35. Using any other tool or adapter may damage the terminal being tested.
Refer to the following table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for front probing
connectors:
Backprobe
Note:
* Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
* Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire

(dock and lock) connector.
* Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
* After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.
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.

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

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.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5471
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5472
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.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5473
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.

Connector Position Assurance Locks
Connector Position Assurance Locks
The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of
the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in
all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate
apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating
terminals of the connector.

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.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5490
* In some cases Bosch will actually be printed on the connector. If Bosch does not appear on the
connector, look for the Bosch logo. The Bosch logo is a circle with a blunted arrow inside. This logo
can appear anywhere on the connector and is often very small.
* In some cases Delphi will actually be printed on the connector. If Delphi is not printed on the
connector, look for PED. In both cases there is no specific orientation for Delphi or PED and they
can appear anywhere on the connector.

* Most Molex connectors will have the Molex logo on the dresscover of the connector. In some
cases the connectors may have MX followed by another letter. The third letter indicates where the
connector was made. A connector with MXD is a Molex connector made in Detroit.
Sumitomo has a unique symbol on their connector and possibly a part number. The symbol is
similar to that of a diamond lying on its side, similar to that shown. The logo could appear anywhere
but the most common place is at the wire side of the housing.
* Tyco/AMP has many different and unique connector designs. Some may or may not have
identifiable marks on them.

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

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5502
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely
visible.
4. Insert terminal into the appropriate terminal holder until it hits bottom and stops. The correct
terminal holder is determined by the wire size. Also
ensure that the terminals wings are pointing towards the former on the tool and the release locator.
5. Insert the stripped cable into the terminal. Insulation should be visible on both sides of the
terminal insulation wings. 6. Compress the handles until the ratchet automatically releases. 7.
Place the terminal into the appropriate cavity and assemble the connector.

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

8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat
procedure for the other side of the dress cover and
remove the cover.
9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the
back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. See the release tool cross reference in the
Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
10. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the
wire out of the front of the connector instead of
pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.

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

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

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

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

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: 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.
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5575
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 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.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5576
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

repair 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

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 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.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5579
8. 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.
9. Insert the wire into the DuraSeal splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop.
10. 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.
11. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 12. Gradually move the heat
barrel to the open end of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

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).

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

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 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.

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

* Look at the connector end view to locate the cavity of the damaged terminal and find the proper
terminal release tool from the terminal release tool kit.
Note: Using the incorrect terminal release tool can damage the connector body.
* Insert the terminal release tool into the cavity. Note: Some terminals have a lever that must be
disengaged before the terminal can be released.
5. Gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. 6. Repair the terminal by following the
Repairing Connector Terminals (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Connector Repairs/Repairing Connector

* 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.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5592
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the J-38125-5 - ultra torch , apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

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.

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.

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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Transmission Control Systems > Actuators and Solenoids Transmission and Drivetrain > Actuators and Solenoids - A/T > Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid, A/T > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5658
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.

Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector.
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
Note: When probing female 0.64 terminals, it is important to use the correct adapter. There have
been some revisions to the test adapter for 0.64 terminals. The proper adapter for 0.64 terminals is
the J-35616-64B which has a gold terminal and a black wire between the base and tip. Failure to
use the proper test adapter may result in damage to the terminal being tested and improper
diagnosis.
Note: The proper adapter for probing the terminals for fuses, relays, or diodes in an electrical
center is J-35616-35. Using any other tool or adapter may damage the terminal being tested.
Refer to the following table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for front probing
connectors:
Backprobe
Note:
* Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
* Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire

(dock and lock) connector.
* Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
* After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.
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.

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 > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5663
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.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5664
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.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5665
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
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Transmission Control Systems > Actuators and Solenoids Transmission and Drivetrain > Actuators and Solenoids - A/T > Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid, A/T > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5666
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.

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.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.

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

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5695
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely
visible.
4. Insert terminal into the appropriate terminal holder until it hits bottom and stops. The correct
terminal holder is determined by the wire size. Also
ensure that the terminals wings are pointing towards the former on the tool and the release locator.
5. Insert the stripped cable into the terminal. Insulation should be visible on both sides of the
terminal insulation wings. 6. Compress the handles until the ratchet automatically releases. 7.
Place the terminal into the appropriate cavity and assemble the connector.

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

9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the
back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. See the release tool cross reference in the
Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
10. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the
wire out of the front of the connector instead of
pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.

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

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

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

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

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: 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.
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.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5768
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 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.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5769
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

repair 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

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 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

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

* 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.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5776
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.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5777
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 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.

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

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

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

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

Bulletin Number 08-07-30-020D (Section 07 - Transmission).
The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

HISTORY DTC
If all readings are normal per Step 2 above, capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data, clear
DTCs and attempt to duplicate the fail conditions.
1. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
"HLLL" and the IMS state of "Neutral/Drive 6",
complete the following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM or low value,
Engine Torque >30 Nm.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Determine if the shift lever can be hung-up between Neutral and Drive 6. If so, there may be
excessive drag in the system.
- Move the shift lever through each detent position, ensuring positive detent feel. If any concern is
noted, remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement. Ensure that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer. If the vehicle has been returned to the dealer with this Freeze Frame bit
codes after repairs, contact the person(s) below in Step 4.
2. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of "HHLH"
and IMS state of "Blank", complete the
following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS >0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.

- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

or P1915/MIL ON > Page 5821
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and the valve body assembly. If
continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
5. Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.

remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
5. Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to remove the contact information in Step 4 under
HISTORY DTC heading and update the models and model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 08-07-30-020D (Section 07 - Transmission).
The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

HISTORY DTC
If all readings are normal per Step 2 above, capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data, clear
DTCs and attempt to duplicate the fail conditions.
1. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
"HLLL" and the IMS state of "Neutral/Drive 6",
complete the following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM or low value,
Engine Torque >30 Nm.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Determine if the shift lever can be hung-up between Neutral and Drive 6. If so, there may be
excessive drag in the system.
- Move the shift lever through each detent position, ensuring positive detent feel. If any concern is
noted, remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement. Ensure that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer. If the vehicle has been returned to the dealer with this Freeze Frame bit
codes after repairs, contact the person(s) below in Step 4.
2. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of "HHLH"
and IMS state of "Blank", complete the
following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS >0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.

4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve

- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.

5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
5. Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.

Clutch Pedal Position Sensor Learn
Important: The clutch pedal position (CPP) sensor learn procedure is required when the following
service procedures have been performed regardless of whether DTC P080A is set:
* An engine control module (ECM) replacement
* A CPP sensor replacement
* Any repairs which affect the CPP sensor relationship
1. Install a scan tool. 2. Monitor the ECM for DTCs with a scan tool. If other DTCs are set, except
DTC P080A, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle (
See: Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code
Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle) for the applicable DTC that set.
3. With a scan tool, select Clutch Pedal Position Learn under Module Setup in Manual
Transmission, and perform the following instructions
displayed on the scan tool screen.
Important: The CPP sensor learn procedure cannot be performed more than once per ignition
cycle. The clutch pedal needs to be fully depressed and held steady throughout this procedure in
order to perform a correct learning.
4. The scan tool will display under CPP Learn Status: Not Learned, In Process, Complete, Fail Low Volt, Fail - High Volt, or Fail Moving. The
scan tool will display under CPP Learn Status Complete if the process was successful.
5. If the scan tool indicates that DTC P080A ran and passed this ignition the CPP sensor learn
procedure is complete. If the scan tool indicates DTC
P080A failed or did not run this ignition, refer to DTC P080A (See: Computers and Control
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated Procedures/P
Code Charts/P080A/Tremec 5-Speed (TZ0) - Manual Transmission). If any other DTC is set, refer
to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle (See: Computers and Control Systems/Testing
and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List Vehicle) for the applicable DTC.
6. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds after the learn procedure has successfully completed in
order to store the CPP sensor variation values in
ECM history.

Bulletin Number 08-07-30-020D (Section 07 - Transmission).
The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

HISTORY DTC
If all readings are normal per Step 2 above, capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data, clear
DTCs and attempt to duplicate the fail conditions.
1. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
"HLLL" and the IMS state of "Neutral/Drive 6",
complete the following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM or low value,
Engine Torque >30 Nm.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Determine if the shift lever can be hung-up between Neutral and Drive 6. If so, there may be
excessive drag in the system.
- Move the shift lever through each detent position, ensuring positive detent feel. If any concern is
noted, remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement. Ensure that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer. If the vehicle has been returned to the dealer with this Freeze Frame bit
codes after repairs, contact the person(s) below in Step 4.
2. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of "HHLH"
and IMS state of "Blank", complete the
following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS >0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.

4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and the valve body assembly. If
continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
5. Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.

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.

Vehicles with option RPP always require the following installation steps:
1. Install new accessory tire/wheel assemblies to the vehicle. 2. Reprogram the control modules for
the new tire/wheel size (steps 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 must be completed in order).
1. Contact TCSC to set-up the calibration database for the new tire size. 2. For 2009 and 2010
models, reprogram the EBCM (Electronic Brake Control Module) - use Tech 2(R) pass-thru
programming in the Service
Programming System (SPS).
3. Reprogram the ECM (Engine Control Module) - use Tech 2 pass-thru programming in the
Service Programming System (SPS).
3. Reset the tire type and pressure.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to perform a module set up for the RCDLR Module. Go to "Tire
Type/Pressure Selection". 2. Select correct tire type (P-metric) and select the new tire pressure
based on the new tire placard included with the accessory wheels.

Attention:
This bulletin applies to V8 gas powered engines ONLY. For Duramax(TM) diesel powered engines,
refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 08-06-04-006G.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2010 model year and information about
retrieving calibrations on a Global A vehicle. 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.

Bulletin Number 08-07-30-020D (Section 07 - Transmission).
The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

If all readings are normal per Step 2 above, capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data, clear
DTCs and attempt to duplicate the fail conditions.
1. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
"HLLL" and the IMS state of "Neutral/Drive 6",
complete the following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM or low value,
Engine Torque >30 Nm.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Determine if the shift lever can be hung-up between Neutral and Drive 6. If so, there may be
excessive drag in the system.
- Move the shift lever through each detent position, ensuring positive detent feel. If any concern is
noted, remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement. Ensure that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer. If the vehicle has been returned to the dealer with this Freeze Frame bit
codes after repairs, contact the person(s) below in Step 4.
2. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of "HHLH"
and IMS state of "Blank", complete the
following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS >0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.

- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
5. Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.

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.

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

Troubleshooting with a Test Lamp
Troubleshooting with a Test Lamp
Special Tools
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.

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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Actuators and Solenoids - Transmission and Drivetrain >
Actuators and Solenoids - A/T > Shift Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 6099
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.

Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector.
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
Note: When probing female 0.64 terminals, it is important to use the correct adapter. There have
been some revisions to the test adapter for 0.64 terminals. The proper adapter for 0.64 terminals is
the J-35616-64B which has a gold terminal and a black wire between the base and tip. Failure to
use the proper test adapter may result in damage to the terminal being tested and improper
diagnosis.
Note: The proper adapter for probing the terminals for fuses, relays, or diodes in an electrical
center is J-35616-35. Using any other tool or adapter may damage the terminal being tested.
Refer to the following table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for front probing
connectors:
Backprobe
Note:
* Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
* Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire

(dock and lock) connector.
* Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
* After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.
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.

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

Instructions > Page 6104
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.

Actuators and Solenoids - A/T > Shift Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 6105
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.

Actuators and Solenoids - A/T > Shift Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 6106
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

Actuators and Solenoids - A/T > Shift Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 6107
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.

Connector Position Assurance Locks
Connector Position Assurance Locks
The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of
the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in
all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate
apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating
terminals of the connector.

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.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.

Actuators and Solenoids - A/T > Shift Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 6124
* In some cases Bosch will actually be printed on the connector. If Bosch does not appear on the
connector, look for the Bosch logo. The Bosch logo is a circle with a blunted arrow inside. This logo
can appear anywhere on the connector and is often very small.
* In some cases Delphi will actually be printed on the connector. If Delphi is not printed on the
connector, look for PED. In both cases there is no specific orientation for Delphi or PED and they
can appear anywhere on the connector.

* Most Molex connectors will have the Molex logo on the dresscover of the connector. In some
cases the connectors may have MX followed by another letter. The third letter indicates where the
connector was made. A connector with MXD is a Molex connector made in Detroit.
Sumitomo has a unique symbol on their connector and possibly a part number. The symbol is
similar to that of a diamond lying on its side, similar to that shown. The logo could appear anywhere
but the most common place is at the wire side of the housing.
* Tyco/AMP has many different and unique connector designs. Some may or may not have
identifiable marks on them.

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

Instructions > Page 6136
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely
visible.
4. Insert terminal into the appropriate terminal holder until it hits bottom and stops. The correct
terminal holder is determined by the wire size. Also
ensure that the terminals wings are pointing towards the former on the tool and the release locator.
5. Insert the stripped cable into the terminal. Insulation should be visible on both sides of the
terminal insulation wings. 6. Compress the handles until the ratchet automatically releases. 7.
Place the terminal into the appropriate cavity and assemble the connector.

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

9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the
back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. See the release tool cross reference in the
Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
10. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the
wire out of the front of the connector instead of
pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.

Actuators and Solenoids - A/T > Shift Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 6141
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long
enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough,
splice a small length of the same gauge wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on
the added wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.

Terminal Replacement Procedure
After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace
Micro-Pack 100 terminals.
1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal
into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other
terminals. Ensure that the terminal is
locked in place by gently pulling on the wire.
3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure.

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

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

For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and

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.

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

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.

Actuators and Solenoids - A/T > Shift Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 6209
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 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.

Actuators and Solenoids - A/T > Shift Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 6210
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

repair 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 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

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

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.

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

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

* 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.

Instructions > Page 6226
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the J-38125-5 - ultra torch , apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

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.

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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Actuators and Solenoids - Transmission and Drivetrain >
Actuators and Solenoids - A/T > Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 6292
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.

Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector.
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
Note: When probing female 0.64 terminals, it is important to use the correct adapter. There have
been some revisions to the test adapter for 0.64 terminals. The proper adapter for 0.64 terminals is
the J-35616-64B which has a gold terminal and a black wire between the base and tip. Failure to
use the proper test adapter may result in damage to the terminal being tested and improper
diagnosis.
Note: The proper adapter for probing the terminals for fuses, relays, or diodes in an electrical
center is J-35616-35. Using any other tool or adapter may damage the terminal being tested.
Refer to the following table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for front probing
connectors:
Backprobe
Note:
* Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
* Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire

(dock and lock) connector.
* Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
* After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.
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.

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

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.

Information and Instructions > Page 6298
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Actuators and Solenoids - Transmission and Drivetrain >
Actuators and Solenoids - A/T > Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 6299
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
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Actuators and Solenoids - Transmission and Drivetrain >
Actuators and Solenoids - A/T > Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 6300
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.

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.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.

Information and Instructions > Page 6317
* In some cases Bosch will actually be printed on the connector. If Bosch does not appear on the
connector, look for the Bosch logo. The Bosch logo is a circle with a blunted arrow inside. This logo
can appear anywhere on the connector and is often very small.
* In some cases Delphi will actually be printed on the connector. If Delphi is not printed on the
connector, look for PED. In both cases there is no specific orientation for Delphi or PED and they
can appear anywhere on the connector.

* Most Molex connectors will have the Molex logo on the dresscover of the connector. In some
cases the connectors may have MX followed by another letter. The third letter indicates where the
connector was made. A connector with MXD is a Molex connector made in Detroit.
Sumitomo has a unique symbol on their connector and possibly a part number. The symbol is
similar to that of a diamond lying on its side, similar to that shown. The logo could appear anywhere
but the most common place is at the wire side of the housing.
* Tyco/AMP has many different and unique connector designs. Some may or may not have
identifiable marks on them.

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

Information and Instructions > Page 6329
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely
visible.
4. Insert terminal into the appropriate terminal holder until it hits bottom and stops. The correct
terminal holder is determined by the wire size. Also
ensure that the terminals wings are pointing towards the former on the tool and the release locator.
5. Insert the stripped cable into the terminal. Insulation should be visible on both sides of the
terminal insulation wings. 6. Compress the handles until the ratchet automatically releases. 7.
Place the terminal into the appropriate cavity and assemble the connector.

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

9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the
back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. See the release tool cross reference in the
Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
10. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the
wire out of the front of the connector instead of
pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.

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

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

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

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

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.
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.

Actuators and Solenoids - A/T > Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 6402
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 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.

Information and Instructions > Page 6403
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

repair 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 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

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

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

Note: Do not 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 tubing will shrink completely as the heat 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 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

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

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

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

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.

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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Actuators and
Solenoids - A/T > Shift Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page
6511
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.

Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector.
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
Note: When probing female 0.64 terminals, it is important to use the correct adapter. There have
been some revisions to the test adapter for 0.64 terminals. The proper adapter for 0.64 terminals is
the J-35616-64B which has a gold terminal and a black wire between the base and tip. Failure to
use the proper test adapter may result in damage to the terminal being tested and improper
diagnosis.
Note: The proper adapter for probing the terminals for fuses, relays, or diodes in an electrical
center is J-35616-35. Using any other tool or adapter may damage the terminal being tested.
Refer to the following table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for front probing
connectors:
Backprobe
Note:
* Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
* Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire

(dock and lock) connector.
* Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
* After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.
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.

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

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.

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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Actuators and
Solenoids - A/T > Shift Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page
6518
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
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Actuators and
Solenoids - A/T > Shift Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page
6519
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.

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.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.

6536
* In some cases Bosch will actually be printed on the connector. If Bosch does not appear on the
connector, look for the Bosch logo. The Bosch logo is a circle with a blunted arrow inside. This logo
can appear anywhere on the connector and is often very small.
* In some cases Delphi will actually be printed on the connector. If Delphi is not printed on the
connector, look for PED. In both cases there is no specific orientation for Delphi or PED and they
can appear anywhere on the connector.

* Most Molex connectors will have the Molex logo on the dresscover of the connector. In some
cases the connectors may have MX followed by another letter. The third letter indicates where the
connector was made. A connector with MXD is a Molex connector made in Detroit.
Sumitomo has a unique symbol on their connector and possibly a part number. The symbol is
similar to that of a diamond lying on its side, similar to that shown. The logo could appear anywhere
but the most common place is at the wire side of the housing.
* Tyco/AMP has many different and unique connector designs. Some may or may not have
identifiable marks on them.

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

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

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

9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the
back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. See the release tool cross reference in the
Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
10. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the
wire out of the front of the connector instead of
pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.

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

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

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

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

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.
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.

6621
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 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.

6622
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

repair 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 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

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

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.

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.

Solenoids - A/T > Shift Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page
6630
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 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.

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

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

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

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
engine control module (ECM), powertrain control module (PCM) or transmission control module
(TCM) will need to relearn TAP values. Transmission performance may be affected as new TAP
values are learned.
8. Reset the TAP values. Refer to Transmission Adaptive Functions (TCM) (See: Description and

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.

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.

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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Actuators and
Solenoids - A/T > Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 6704
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.

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

* 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.

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

Instructions > Page 6709
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.

Solenoids - A/T > Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 6710
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Actuators and
Solenoids - A/T > Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 6711
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

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Actuators and
Solenoids - A/T > Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 6712
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.

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.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.

Solenoids - A/T > Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 6729
* In some cases Bosch will actually be printed on the connector. If Bosch does not appear on the
connector, look for the Bosch logo. The Bosch logo is a circle with a blunted arrow inside. This logo
can appear anywhere on the connector and is often very small.
* In some cases Delphi will actually be printed on the connector. If Delphi is not printed on the
connector, look for PED. In both cases there is no specific orientation for Delphi or PED and they
can appear anywhere on the connector.

* Most Molex connectors will have the Molex logo on the dresscover of the connector. In some
cases the connectors may have MX followed by another letter. The third letter indicates where the
connector was made. A connector with MXD is a Molex connector made in Detroit.
Sumitomo has a unique symbol on their connector and possibly a part number. The symbol is
similar to that of a diamond lying on its side, similar to that shown. The logo could appear anywhere
but the most common place is at the wire side of the housing.
* Tyco/AMP has many different and unique connector designs. Some may or may not have
identifiable marks on them.

Repair Procedure
Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals.
The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping.
In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed.
The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool
has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped.
The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same
time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair
Micro 64 terminals.
Note: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long
enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough,
splice a small length of the same gauge wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on
the added wire.

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

1. Disconnect the connector from the component.
2. Locate the nose piece locking tabs that are positioned on the side of the connector nose piece.
The connector nose piece acts as a terminal positive
assurance (TPA) and may be referred to as such.
3. Use a small flat-blade tool to push in one of the locking tabs while gently pulling on the same
side of the nose piece. 4. Repeat the procedure for the other locking tab and remove the nose
piece. 5. Remove the wire dress cover. The following is a general procedure for wire dress cover
removal. Use this procedure as a guide, some dress cover
removal procedures may vary.

8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat
procedure for the other side of the dress cover and
remove the cover.
9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the
back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. See the release tool cross reference in the
Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
10. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the
wire out of the front of the connector instead of
pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Actuators and
Solenoids - A/T > Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 6746
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long
enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough,
splice a small length of the same gauge wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on
the added wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.

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

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

For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and

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.

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.
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.

Solenoids - A/T > Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 6814
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 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.

Solenoids - A/T > Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 6815
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

repair 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 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

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

* 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.

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

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

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Actuators and
Solenoids - A/T > Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 6830
* 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.

Solenoids - A/T > Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 6831
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the J-38125-5 - ultra torch , apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

Bulletin Number 08-07-30-020D (Section 07 - Transmission).
The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

HISTORY DTC
If all readings are normal per Step 2 above, capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data, clear
DTCs and attempt to duplicate the fail conditions.
1. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
"HLLL" and the IMS state of "Neutral/Drive 6",
complete the following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM or low value,
Engine Torque >30 Nm.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Determine if the shift lever can be hung-up between Neutral and Drive 6. If so, there may be
excessive drag in the system.
- Move the shift lever through each detent position, ensuring positive detent feel. If any concern is
noted, remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement. Ensure that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer. If the vehicle has been returned to the dealer with this Freeze Frame bit
codes after repairs, contact the person(s) below in Step 4.
2. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of "HHLH"
and IMS state of "Blank", complete the
following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS >0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.

- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

> A/T Controls - DTC P1825/P182E or P1915/MIL ON > Page 6866
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and the valve body assembly. If
continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
5. Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.

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

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

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to remove the contact information in Step 4 under
HISTORY DTC heading and update the models and model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 08-07-30-020D (Section 07 - Transmission).
The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

HISTORY DTC
If all readings are normal per Step 2 above, capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data, clear
DTCs and attempt to duplicate the fail conditions.
1. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
"HLLL" and the IMS state of "Neutral/Drive 6",
complete the following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM or low value,
Engine Torque >30 Nm.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Determine if the shift lever can be hung-up between Neutral and Drive 6. If so, there may be
excessive drag in the system.
- Move the shift lever through each detent position, ensuring positive detent feel. If any concern is
noted, remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement. Ensure that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer. If the vehicle has been returned to the dealer with this Freeze Frame bit
codes after repairs, contact the person(s) below in Step 4.
2. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of "HHLH"
and IMS state of "Blank", complete the
following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS >0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
3. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of "HHHL"
and IMS state of "Invalid", complete the

continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and the valve body assembly. If
continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
5. Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.

Engine Torque >30 Nm.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Determine if the shift lever can be hung-up between Neutral and Drive 6. If so, there may be
excessive drag in the system.
- Move the shift lever through each detent position, ensuring positive detent feel. If any concern is
noted, remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement. Ensure that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer. If the vehicle has been returned to the dealer with this Freeze Frame bit
codes after repairs, contact the person(s) below in Step 4.
2. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of "HHLH"
and IMS state of "Blank", complete the
following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS >0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,

or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and the valve body assembly. If
continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
5. Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.

HISTORY DTC heading and update the models and model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 08-07-30-020D (Section 07 - Transmission).
The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
5. Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to remove the contact information in Step 4 under
HISTORY DTC heading and update the models and model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 08-07-30-020D (Section 07 - Transmission).
The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

HISTORY DTC
If all readings are normal per Step 2 above, capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data, clear
DTCs and attempt to duplicate the fail conditions.
1. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
"HLLL" and the IMS state of "Neutral/Drive 6",
complete the following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM or low value,
Engine Torque >30 Nm.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Determine if the shift lever can be hung-up between Neutral and Drive 6. If so, there may be
excessive drag in the system.
- Move the shift lever through each detent position, ensuring positive detent feel. If any concern is
noted, remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement. Ensure that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer. If the vehicle has been returned to the dealer with this Freeze Frame bit
codes after repairs, contact the person(s) below in Step 4.
2. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of "HHLH"
and IMS state of "Blank", complete the
following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS >0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
3. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of "HHHL"
and IMS state of "Invalid", complete the

following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and the valve body assembly. If
continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
5. Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.

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.

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.

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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Shift Solenoid, A/T >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7086
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.

Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector.
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
Note: When probing female 0.64 terminals, it is important to use the correct adapter. There have
been some revisions to the test adapter for 0.64 terminals. The proper adapter for 0.64 terminals is
the J-35616-64B which has a gold terminal and a black wire between the base and tip. Failure to
use the proper test adapter may result in damage to the terminal being tested and improper
diagnosis.
Note: The proper adapter for probing the terminals for fuses, relays, or diodes in an electrical
center is J-35616-35. Using any other tool or adapter may damage the terminal being tested.
Refer to the following table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for front probing
connectors:
Backprobe
Note:
* Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
* Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire

(dock and lock) connector.
* Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
* After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.
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.

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

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7091
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.

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7092
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.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Shift Solenoid, A/T >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7093
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

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Shift Solenoid, A/T >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7094
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.

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.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Shift Solenoid, A/T >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7111
* In some cases Bosch will actually be printed on the connector. If Bosch does not appear on the
connector, look for the Bosch logo. The Bosch logo is a circle with a blunted arrow inside. This logo
can appear anywhere on the connector and is often very small.
* In some cases Delphi will actually be printed on the connector. If Delphi is not printed on the
connector, look for PED. In both cases there is no specific orientation for Delphi or PED and they
can appear anywhere on the connector.

* Most Molex connectors will have the Molex logo on the dresscover of the connector. In some
cases the connectors may have MX followed by another letter. The third letter indicates where the
connector was made. A connector with MXD is a Molex connector made in Detroit.
Sumitomo has a unique symbol on their connector and possibly a part number. The symbol is
similar to that of a diamond lying on its side, similar to that shown. The logo could appear anywhere
but the most common place is at the wire side of the housing.
* Tyco/AMP has many different and unique connector designs. Some may or may not have
identifiable marks on them.

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

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7123
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely
visible.
4. Insert terminal into the appropriate terminal holder until it hits bottom and stops. The correct
terminal holder is determined by the wire size. Also
ensure that the terminals wings are pointing towards the former on the tool and the release locator.
5. Insert the stripped cable into the terminal. Insulation should be visible on both sides of the
terminal insulation wings. 6. Compress the handles until the ratchet automatically releases. 7.

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

1. Disconnect the connector from the component.
2. Locate the nose piece locking tabs that are positioned on the side of the connector nose piece.
The connector nose piece acts as a terminal positive
assurance (TPA) and may be referred to as such.
3. Use a small flat-blade tool to push in one of the locking tabs while gently pulling on the same
side of the nose piece. 4. Repeat the procedure for the other locking tab and remove the nose
piece. 5. Remove the wire dress cover. The following is a general procedure for wire dress cover
removal. Use this procedure as a guide, some dress cover
removal procedures may vary.

8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat
procedure for the other side of the dress cover and
remove the cover.
9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the
back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. See the release tool cross reference in the
Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
10. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the
wire out of the front of the connector instead of
pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Shift Solenoid, A/T >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7128
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long
enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough,
splice a small length of the same gauge wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on
the added wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.

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

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

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

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.
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.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Shift Solenoid, A/T >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7196
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 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.

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

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 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.

8. 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.
9. Insert the wire into the DuraSeal splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop.
10. 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.
11. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 12. Gradually move the heat
barrel to the open end of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

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).

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.

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.

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

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7212
* 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.

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

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to remove the contact information in Step 4 under
HISTORY DTC heading and update the models and model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 08-07-30-020D (Section 07 - Transmission).
The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

HISTORY DTC
If all readings are normal per Step 2 above, capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data, clear
DTCs and attempt to duplicate the fail conditions.
1. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
"HLLL" and the IMS state of "Neutral/Drive 6",
complete the following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM or low value,
Engine Torque >30 Nm.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Determine if the shift lever can be hung-up between Neutral and Drive 6. If so, there may be
excessive drag in the system.
- Move the shift lever through each detent position, ensuring positive detent feel. If any concern is
noted, remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement. Ensure that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer. If the vehicle has been returned to the dealer with this Freeze Frame bit
codes after repairs, contact the person(s) below in Step 4.
2. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of "HHLH"
and IMS state of "Blank", complete the
following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS >0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.

or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and the valve body assembly. If
continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
5. Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to remove the contact information in Step 4 under
HISTORY DTC heading and update the models and model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 08-07-30-020D (Section 07 - Transmission).
The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

HISTORY DTC
If all readings are normal per Step 2 above, capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data, clear
DTCs and attempt to duplicate the fail conditions.
1. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
"HLLL" and the IMS state of "Neutral/Drive 6",
complete the following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM or low value,
Engine Torque >30 Nm.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Determine if the shift lever can be hung-up between Neutral and Drive 6. If so, there may be
excessive drag in the system.
- Move the shift lever through each detent position, ensuring positive detent feel. If any concern is
noted, remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement. Ensure that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer. If the vehicle has been returned to the dealer with this Freeze Frame bit
codes after repairs, contact the person(s) below in Step 4.
2. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of "HHLH"
and IMS state of "Blank", complete the
following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS >0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.

- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and the valve body assembly. If
continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
5. Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.

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.

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

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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Torque Converter
Clutch Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7333
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.

Probing Electrical Connectors
Probing Electrical Connectors
Note: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position
assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Torque Converter
Clutch Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7335
Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector.
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
Note: When probing female 0.64 terminals, it is important to use the correct adapter. There have
been some revisions to the test adapter for 0.64 terminals. The proper adapter for 0.64 terminals is
the J-35616-64B which has a gold terminal and a black wire between the base and tip. Failure to
use the proper test adapter may result in damage to the terminal being tested and improper
diagnosis.
Note: The proper adapter for probing the terminals for fuses, relays, or diodes in an electrical
center is J-35616-35. Using any other tool or adapter may damage the terminal being tested.
Refer to the following table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for front probing
connectors:
Backprobe
Note:
* Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
* Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire

(dock and lock) connector.
* Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
* After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.
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.

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

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.

Clutch Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7339
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Torque Converter
Clutch Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7340
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

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Torque Converter
Clutch Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7341
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

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.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.

Clutch Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7358
* In some cases Bosch will actually be printed on the connector. If Bosch does not appear on the
connector, look for the Bosch logo. The Bosch logo is a circle with a blunted arrow inside. This logo
can appear anywhere on the connector and is often very small.
* In some cases Delphi will actually be printed on the connector. If Delphi is not printed on the
connector, look for PED. In both cases there is no specific orientation for Delphi or PED and they
can appear anywhere on the connector.

cases the connectors may have MX followed by another letter. The third letter indicates where the
connector was made. A connector with MXD is a Molex connector made in Detroit.
Sumitomo has a unique symbol on their connector and possibly a part number. The symbol is
similar to that of a diamond lying on its side, similar to that shown. The logo could appear anywhere
but the most common place is at the wire side of the housing.
* Tyco/AMP has many different and unique connector designs. Some may or may not have
identifiable marks on them.

Repair Procedure
Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals.
The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping.
In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed.
The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool
has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped.
The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same
time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair
Micro 64 terminals.
Note: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long
enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough,
splice a small length of the same gauge wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on
the added wire.

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

1. Disconnect the connector from the component.
2. Locate the nose piece locking tabs that are positioned on the side of the connector nose piece.
The connector nose piece acts as a terminal positive
assurance (TPA) and may be referred to as such.
3. Use a small flat-blade tool to push in one of the locking tabs while gently pulling on the same
side of the nose piece. 4. Repeat the procedure for the other locking tab and remove the nose
piece. 5. Remove the wire dress cover. The following is a general procedure for wire dress cover
removal. Use this procedure as a guide, some dress cover
removal procedures may vary.

8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat
procedure for the other side of the dress cover and
remove the cover.
9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the
back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. See the release tool cross reference in the
Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
10. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the
wire out of the front of the connector instead of
pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Torque Converter
Clutch Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7375
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long
enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough,
splice a small length of the same gauge wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on
the added wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.

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

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

For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and

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.

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.
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.

* 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 crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice sleeve, (2) is for the blue

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

repair 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

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 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

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

* 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.

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.

* 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.

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

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

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

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

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to remove the contact information in Step 4 under
HISTORY DTC heading and update the models and model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 08-07-30-020D (Section 07 - Transmission).
The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

HISTORY DTC
If all readings are normal per Step 2 above, capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data, clear
DTCs and attempt to duplicate the fail conditions.
1. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
"HLLL" and the IMS state of "Neutral/Drive 6",
complete the following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM or low value,
Engine Torque >30 Nm.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Determine if the shift lever can be hung-up between Neutral and Drive 6. If so, there may be
excessive drag in the system.
- Move the shift lever through each detent position, ensuring positive detent feel. If any concern is
noted, remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement. Ensure that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer. If the vehicle has been returned to the dealer with this Freeze Frame bit
codes after repairs, contact the person(s) below in Step 4.
2. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of "HHLH"
and IMS state of "Blank", complete the
following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS >0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.

4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
5. Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.

The information outlined in this bulletin is designed to provide easy to follow control valve body
reconditioning instructions using the new illustrations to simplify reassembly of the 6L45, 6L50,
6L80 and/or 6L90 automatic transmission control valve body assembly.
Caution
Valve springs can be tightly compressed. Use care when removing retainers and plugs. Personal
injury could result.
Notice
After cleaning the transmission components, allow to air dry. Do not use cloth or paper towels in
order to dry any transmission components. Lint from the towels can cause component failure.
Notice
Do not reuse cleaning solvents. Previously used solvents may deposit sediment, which may
damage the component.
Inspection Procedure for Shift Concerns
1. Using the exploded view, inspect each bore for freedom of valve(s) movement and evidence of
debris. Pay particular attention to those valves
related to the customer's concern. IF VALVE BODY CLEANING IS NOT REQUIRED, DO NOT
DISASSEMBLE THE BORES UNLESS IT IS NECESSARY TO VERIFY MOVEMENT.
2. Verify movement of the valves in their normal installed position. Valves may become restricted
during removal or installation. This is normal due
to small tolerances between the valves and bores.
3. If a valve is restricted and cannot be corrected by cleaning the valve and bore, replace the valve
body. Describe the restricted valve on the repair
order.
Disassembly/Reassembly for Cleaning Debris
1. If a valve is restricted by a metal burr from machining that bore, remove the valve and burr.
Inspect the movement in the valve's normal position. If
no other debris or restrictions are found, reassemble the valve body and install in the transmission.
2. If the valve body has been contaminated with debris from another transmission component
failure, disassemble all bores for complete cleaning of
all valve body components. Keeping individual bore parts separated will make reassembly easier.
Use the following illustrations for positive identification and location of individual parts.
3. Using GM Brake Clean, or equivalent, in a safe and clean environment (clean aluminum pan),
clean the valve body and dry it with compressed air.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Valve Body, A/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > A/T - Control Valve/Solenoid Cleaning Information > Page 7540
Use appropriate eye protection.
4. Clean individual valve body components with GM Brake Clean, or equivalent. Coat each valve
with clean ATF and reassemble in each bore.
Check each valve for free movement during assembly of each bore.
Important Position the valve body as shown in the following illustrations for positive identification
and location of individual parts.

2004-2010 Passenger Cars and Light Duty Truck (Including Saturn; excluding Astra models)
2004-2010 HUMMER H2, H3 2004-2009 Saab 9-7X
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the Sending a Snapshot to GM TAC section
and add the 2010 model year. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 07-07-30-010A (Section
07 - Transmission/Transaxle).
Important Global Diagnostic System (GDS) will take the place of the Tech 2(R) on certain vehicles
when communicating and diagnosing vehicle on-board electrical systems. This new diagnostic tool
platform and software will be required for use with all GM Global Architecture (Global A) vehicles
beginning with the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro, followed later by the Buick Allure/LaCrosse, Chevrolet
Equinox, Cadillac SRX and the GMC Terrain. These vehicles will no longer permit Tech 2(R)
communication for diagnostic purposes. For further information, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number
09-00-89-019 (Introduction of New Global Diagnostic System (GDS)).
This procedure is intended to show the user how to take snapshot data with a Tech 2(R) and
upload it to a computer. The procedure is written for an automatic transmission data snapshot on a
Saturn AURA, but is similar for all applications. This procedure is written with the assumption the
user has a basic understanding of how to use a Tech 2(R) already.
Capturing a Snapshot of the Vehicle Data Stream
1. Connect the Tech 2(R) to the vehicle Data Link Connector (DLC) as shown above. Use a CANdi
module as required. 2. Power up the Tech 2(R) and press the ENTER key at the start-up screen.
3. From the Main Menu select F0: Diagnostics. 4. Enter all vehicle information as requested on the
scan tool's display. Bolded selections are vehicle specific.

Crankcase and Subsystems Flushing Info.
INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 04-06-01-029E
Date: April 29, 2010
Subject: Unnecessary Flushing Services, Additive Recommendations and Proper Utilization of GM
Simplified Maintenance Schedule to Enhance Customer Service Experience
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (including Saturn) 2010 and Prior HUMMER H2,
H3 2005-2009 Saab 9-7X
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the model years and add information about the
proper transmission flush procedure. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 04-06-01-029D
(Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
An Overview of Proper Vehicle Service
General Motors is aware that some companies are marketing tools and equipment to support a
subsystem flushing procedures. These dedicated machines are in addition to many engine oil,
cooling system, fuel system, A/C, transmission flush and steering system additives available to the
consumer. GM Vehicles under normal usage do not require any additional procedures or additives
beyond what is advised under the former Vehicle Maintenance Schedules or the current Simplified
Maintenance Schedules. Do not confuse machines available from Kent-Moore/SPX that are
designed to aid and accelerate the process of fluid changing with these flushing machines.
Engine Crankcase Flushing
General Motors Corporation does not endorse or recommend engine crankcase flushing for any of
its gasoline engines. Analysis of some of the aftermarket materials used for crankcase flushing
indicate incompatibility with GM engine components and the potential for damage to some engine
seals and bearings. Damage to engine components resulting from crankcase flushing IS NOT
COVERED under the terms of the New Vehicle Warranty.
GM Authorized Service Information: Detailed, Descriptive, and Complete
If a specific model vehicle or powertrain need is identified, GM will issue an Authorized Service
Document containing a procedure and, if required, provide, make available, or require the specific
use of a machine, tool or chemical to accomplish proper vehicle servicing. An example of this is
fuel injector cleaning. Due to variation in fuel quality in different areas of the country, GM has
recognized the need for fuel injector cleaning methods on some engines, though under normal
circumstances, this service is not part of the maintenance requirements.
GM has published several gasoline fuel injector cleaning bulletins that fully outline the methods to
be used in conjunction with GM Part Numbered solutions to accomplish proper and safe cleaning
of the fuel injectors with preventative maintenance suggestions to maintain optimum performance.
You may refer to Corporate Bulletin Numbers 03-06-04-030 and 04-06-04-051 for additional
information on this subject.
Subsystem Flushing
Flushing of A/C lines, radiators, transmission coolers, and power steering systems are recognized
practices to be performed after catastrophic failures or extreme corrosion when encountered in
radiators. For acceptable A/C flushing concerns, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 01-01-38-006.
This practice is NOT required or recommended for normal service operations.
The use of external transmission fluid exchange or flush machines is NOT recommended for the
automatic or manual transmission. Use of external machines to replace the fluid may affect the
operation or durability of the transmission. Transmission fluid should only be replaced by draining
and refilling following directions in SI. Refer to Automatic/Manual Transmission Fluid and Filter
Replacement.
Approved Transmission Flushing Tool (Transmission Cooler Only)
The Automatic Transmission Oil Cooler Flush and Flow Test Tool is recommended for GM
vehicles. Refer to Transmission Fluid Cooler Flushing and Flow Test in SI using the J 45096.
Service Is Important to You and Your Customer
General Motors takes great pride in offering our dealerships and customers high quality vehicles
that require extremely low maintenance over the life of the vehicle. This low cost of ownership
builds repeat sales and offers our customers measurable economy of operation against competing
vehicles.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Continuously Variable Transmission/Transaxle, CVT >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > A/T Controls - Snapshot Data Upload Information > Page 7661
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 front axle vent hose is mounted in the left side of the engine compartment, and may not be
correctly routed. The vent hose can get misrouted and placed in a position that is lower than the
front axle harness/engine harness in-line connector. In this position, the vent tube may ingest
water. The front axle vent hose may be routed to the wheel side of the wheel well. It may be
hanging through the opening of the wheel well in a vertical position, with the vent cap hanging
down.
If you encounter a vehicle with the front axle vent hose misrouted, reroute the hose to the correct
location. The hose should be mounted inside the engine compartment, in an upward position to
prevent the possibility of water being drawn into the hose and axle assembly during cool-down.
Tape the vent hose to the nearby wiring harness as shown. Technicians should also change the
front axle fluid.

Rear Axle Lubricant Level Inspection (8.6, 9.5 LD Axle)
Note: All axle assemblies are filled by volume of fluid during production. They are not filled to reach
a certain level. When checking the fluid level on any axle, variations in the readings can be caused
by factory fill differences between the minimum and the maximum fluid volume. Also, if a vehicle
has just been driven before checking the fluid level, it may appear lower than normal because the
fluid has traveled out along the axle tubes and has not drained back to the sump area. Therefore, a
reading taken five minutes after the vehicle has been driven will appear to have a lower fluid level
than a vehicle that has been stationary for an hour or two. Remember that the rear axle assembly
must be supported to get a true reading.
1. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle (See:

Drive/Propeller Shaft: Description and Operation
Propeller Shaft Description and Operation
The propeller shaft is a tube with universal joints at both ends which do not require periodic
maintenance, that transmit power from the transfer case or transmission output shaft to the
differential.
Front Propeller Shaft Description
The front propeller shaft transmits rotating force from the transfer case to the front differential when
the transfer case is engaged. The front propeller shaft connects to the transfer case using a splined
slip joint.
One Piece Propeller Shaft Description
A 1 piece propeller shaft uses a splined slip joint to connect the driveline to the transmission or
transfer case.
Two Piece Propeller Shaft Description
There are 3 universal joints used on the two piece propeller shaft, A center bearing assembly is
used to support the propeller shaft connection point, and help isolate the vehicle from vibration.
Propeller Shaft Phasing Description
The propeller shaft is designed and built with the yoke lugs (ears) in line with each other. This
produces the smoothest running shaft possible. A propeller shaft designed with built in yoke lugs in
line is known as in - phase. An out of phase propeller shaft often causes vibration. The propeller
shaft generates vibration from speeding up and slowing down each time the universal joint goes
around. The vibration is the same as a person snapping a rope and watching the wave reaction
flow to the end. An in phase propeller shaft is similar to 2 persons snapping a rope at the same
time and watching the waves meet and cancel each other out. A total cancellation of vibration
produces a smooth flow of power in the drive line. All splined shaft slip yokes are keyed in order to
ensure proper phasing.
Universal Joint Description
The universal joint is connected to the propeller shaft. The universal consist of 4 caps with needle
bearings and grease seals mounted on the trunnions of a cross or spider. These bearings and caps
are greased at the factory and no periodic maintenance is required. There are 2 universal joints
used in a one piece propeller shaft and 3 used in two piece propeller shaft. The bearings and caps
are pressed into the yokes and held in place with snap rings, except for 2 bearings on some
models witch are strapped onto the pinion flange of the differential. Universal joints are designed to
handle the effects of various loads and rear axle windup conditions during acceleration and
braking. The universal joint operates efficiently and safely within the designed angle variations.
when the design angles are exceeded, the operational life of the joint decreases.
Center Bearing Description
Center bearings support the driveline when using 2 or more propeller shafts. The center bearing is
a ball bearing mounted in a rubber cushion that attaches to a frame crossmember. The
manufacturer prelubricates and seals the bearing. The cushion allows vertical motion at the
driveline and helps isolate the vehicle from vibration.

Bulletin No.: 09-04-19-002A
Date: February 17, 2011
Subject: 4WD System Shift Performance in Cold Ambient Temperatures (Use Synthetic Fluid in
Light Duty Front Axles with 8.5" Ring Gears)
Models:
1999-2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Series Models 1999-2011 GMC Sierra 1500 Series Models
Equipped with 4WD and 8.25" Front Axle Ring Gears (Transfer Case RPOs NP2, NQG)
Attention:
It is important to determine the RPO for the transfer case in GWM/IVH prior to applying this bulletin.
This bulletin applies ONLY to vehicles equipped with 8.25" front axle ring gears, used in
conjunction with a manual transfer case (RPOs NP2, NQG).
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-04-19-002 (Section 04 - Driveline/Axle).
Condition
Some customers may comment about the effort required to shift from 2HI to 4HI in cold ambient
temperatures at -6°C (20°F) or below.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the standard front axle being equipped with conventional mineral
oil axle fluid. In cold ambient temperatures, prior to complete warm up, the fluid viscosity is thick.
This may affect transfer case shift performance prior to full warm up.
Correction
Drain the front axle fluid and refill with GM SAE 75W-90 Synthetic Axle Fluid, P/N 89021677 (in
Canada, 89021678). Refer to Front Axle Lubricant Replacement in SI. It is important to use
synthetic fluid in this 8.25" axle to improve the performance of the 4WD system in cold ambient
temperatures.

Date: February 17, 2011
Subject: 4WD System Shift Performance in Cold Ambient Temperatures (Use Synthetic Fluid in
Light Duty Front Axles with 8.5" Ring Gears)
Models:
1999-2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Series Models 1999-2011 GMC Sierra 1500 Series Models
Equipped with 4WD and 8.25" Front Axle Ring Gears (Transfer Case RPOs NP2, NQG)
Attention:
It is important to determine the RPO for the transfer case in GWM/IVH prior to applying this bulletin.
This bulletin applies ONLY to vehicles equipped with 8.25" front axle ring gears, used in
conjunction with a manual transfer case (RPOs NP2, NQG).
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-04-19-002 (Section 04 - Driveline/Axle).
Condition
Some customers may comment about the effort required to shift from 2HI to 4HI in cold ambient
temperatures at -6°C (20°F) or below.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the standard front axle being equipped with conventional mineral
oil axle fluid. In cold ambient temperatures, prior to complete warm up, the fluid viscosity is thick.
This may affect transfer case shift performance prior to full warm up.
Correction
Drain the front axle fluid and refill with GM SAE 75W-90 Synthetic Axle Fluid, P/N 89021677 (in
Canada, 89021678). Refer to Front Axle Lubricant Replacement in SI. It is important to use
synthetic fluid in this 8.25" axle to improve the performance of the 4WD system in cold ambient
temperatures.

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

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.

HISTORY DTC heading and update the models and model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 08-07-30-020D (Section 07 - Transmission).
The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

HISTORY DTC
If all readings are normal per Step 2 above, capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data, clear
DTCs and attempt to duplicate the fail conditions.
1. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
"HLLL" and the IMS state of "Neutral/Drive 6",
complete the following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM or low value,
Engine Torque >30 Nm.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Determine if the shift lever can be hung-up between Neutral and Drive 6. If so, there may be
excessive drag in the system.
- Move the shift lever through each detent position, ensuring positive detent feel. If any concern is
noted, remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement. Ensure that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer. If the vehicle has been returned to the dealer with this Freeze Frame bit
codes after repairs, contact the person(s) below in Step 4.
2. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of "HHLH"
and IMS state of "Blank", complete the
following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS >0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
3. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of "HHHL"
and IMS state of "Invalid", complete the

following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and the valve body assembly. If
continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
5. Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.

the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and the valve body assembly. If
continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
5. Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.

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.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to remove the contact information in Step 4 under
HISTORY DTC heading and update the models and model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 08-07-30-020D (Section 07 - Transmission).
The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

HISTORY DTC
If all readings are normal per Step 2 above, capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data, clear
DTCs and attempt to duplicate the fail conditions.
1. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
"HLLL" and the IMS state of "Neutral/Drive 6",
complete the following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM or low value,
Engine Torque >30 Nm.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Determine if the shift lever can be hung-up between Neutral and Drive 6. If so, there may be
excessive drag in the system.
- Move the shift lever through each detent position, ensuring positive detent feel. If any concern is
noted, remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement. Ensure that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer. If the vehicle has been returned to the dealer with this Freeze Frame bit
codes after repairs, contact the person(s) below in Step 4.
2. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of "HHLH"
and IMS state of "Blank", complete the
following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS >0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.

5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
5. Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to remove the contact information in Step 4 under
HISTORY DTC heading and update the models and model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 08-07-30-020D (Section 07 - Transmission).
The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

Clutch Pedal Position Sensor Learn
Important: The clutch pedal position (CPP) sensor learn procedure is required when the following
service procedures have been performed regardless of whether DTC P080A is set:
* An engine control module (ECM) replacement
* A CPP sensor replacement
* Any repairs which affect the CPP sensor relationship
1. Install a scan tool. 2. Monitor the ECM for DTCs with a scan tool. If other DTCs are set, except
DTC P080A, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle (
See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic
Trouble Code Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle) for the applicable DTC
that set.
3. With a scan tool, select Clutch Pedal Position Learn under Module Setup in Manual
Transmission, and perform the following instructions
displayed on the scan tool screen.
Important: The CPP sensor learn procedure cannot be performed more than once per ignition
cycle. The clutch pedal needs to be fully depressed and held steady throughout this procedure in
order to perform a correct learning.
4. The scan tool will display under CPP Learn Status: Not Learned, In Process, Complete, Fail Low Volt, Fail - High Volt, or Fail Moving. The
scan tool will display under CPP Learn Status Complete if the process was successful.
5. If the scan tool indicates that DTC P080A ran and passed this ignition the CPP sensor learn
procedure is complete. If the scan tool indicates DTC
P080A failed or did not run this ignition, refer to DTC P080A (See: Powertrain
Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code
Tests and Associated Procedures/P Code Charts/P080A/Tremec 5-Speed (TZ0) - Manual
Transmission). If any other DTC is set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle (See:
Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic
Trouble Code Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle) for the applicable DTC.
6. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds after the learn procedure has successfully completed in
order to store the CPP sensor variation values in
ECM history.

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.

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.

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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Transmission Control Systems > Actuators and Solenoids Transmission and Drivetrain > Actuators and Solenoids - A/T > Shift Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8383
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.

Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector.
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
Note: When probing female 0.64 terminals, it is important to use the correct adapter. There have
been some revisions to the test adapter for 0.64 terminals. The proper adapter for 0.64 terminals is
the J-35616-64B which has a gold terminal and a black wire between the base and tip. Failure to
use the proper test adapter may result in damage to the terminal being tested and improper
diagnosis.
Note: The proper adapter for probing the terminals for fuses, relays, or diodes in an electrical
center is J-35616-35. Using any other tool or adapter may damage the terminal being tested.
Refer to the following table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for front probing
connectors:
Backprobe
Note:
* Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
* Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire

(dock and lock) connector.
* Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
* After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.
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.

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

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8388
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.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8389
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.

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.

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

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8391
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.

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.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.

* In some cases Bosch will actually be printed on the connector. If Bosch does not appear on the
connector, look for the Bosch logo. The Bosch logo is a circle with a blunted arrow inside. This logo
can appear anywhere on the connector and is often very small.
* In some cases Delphi will actually be printed on the connector. If Delphi is not printed on the
connector, look for PED. In both cases there is no specific orientation for Delphi or PED and they
can appear anywhere on the connector.

* Most Molex connectors will have the Molex logo on the dresscover of the connector. In some
cases the connectors may have MX followed by another letter. The third letter indicates where the
connector was made. A connector with MXD is a Molex connector made in Detroit.
Sumitomo has a unique symbol on their connector and possibly a part number. The symbol is
similar to that of a diamond lying on its side, similar to that shown. The logo could appear anywhere
but the most common place is at the wire side of the housing.
* Tyco/AMP has many different and unique connector designs. Some may or may not have
identifiable marks on them.

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

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8420
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely
visible.
4. Insert terminal into the appropriate terminal holder until it hits bottom and stops. The correct
terminal holder is determined by the wire size. Also
ensure that the terminals wings are pointing towards the former on the tool and the release locator.
5. Insert the stripped cable into the terminal. Insulation should be visible on both sides of the
terminal insulation wings. 6. Compress the handles until the ratchet automatically releases. 7.
Place the terminal into the appropriate cavity and assemble the connector.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8421
Terminal Removal Procedure
There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use
different terminals and have some minor physical differences also.
The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds
the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the
terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and
offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals
cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to
identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities.
Note: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you
have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector
uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second
design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area.
Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some
Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide.

9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the
back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. See the release tool cross reference in the
Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
10. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the
wire out of the front of the connector instead of
pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.

Terminal Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the connector from the component by pressing down on the connector position
assurance (CPA).
2. Use a small flat-bladed tool to release the terminal position assurance (TPA) by inserting the tool
in the small recess on the side of the connector
and pushing up until the TPA releases from the connector body. The TPA should raise just slightly.
Do not try to remove the TPA. Note: The TPA on this connector cannot be removed unless the
terminals are removed first. The TPA will come out of the connector body, but only slightly. When
the TPA is slightly raised the terminals can be removed. Using excessive force to remove the TPA
with the terminals still in the connector will damage the connector.
3. Repeat the process for the other side of the connector.
4. Ensure that the TPA is in the proper position to remove the terminals.

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

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

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

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.
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.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8493
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 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.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8494
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

repair 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

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 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

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

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.

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.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8502
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 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.

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.

* 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.

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

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.

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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Transmission Control Systems > Actuators and Solenoids Transmission and Drivetrain > Actuators and Solenoids - A/T > Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid, A/T > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8576
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.

Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector.
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
Note: When probing female 0.64 terminals, it is important to use the correct adapter. There have
been some revisions to the test adapter for 0.64 terminals. The proper adapter for 0.64 terminals is
the J-35616-64B which has a gold terminal and a black wire between the base and tip. Failure to
use the proper test adapter may result in damage to the terminal being tested and improper
diagnosis.
Note: The proper adapter for probing the terminals for fuses, relays, or diodes in an electrical
center is J-35616-35. Using any other tool or adapter may damage the terminal being tested.
Refer to the following table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for front probing
connectors:
Backprobe
Note:
* Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
* Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire

(dock and lock) connector.
* Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
* After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.
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.

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 > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8581
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.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8582
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8583
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

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8584
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.

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.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8601
* In some cases Bosch will actually be printed on the connector. If Bosch does not appear on the
connector, look for the Bosch logo. The Bosch logo is a circle with a blunted arrow inside. This logo
can appear anywhere on the connector and is often very small.
* In some cases Delphi will actually be printed on the connector. If Delphi is not printed on the
connector, look for PED. In both cases there is no specific orientation for Delphi or PED and they
can appear anywhere on the connector.

* Most Molex connectors will have the Molex logo on the dresscover of the connector. In some
cases the connectors may have MX followed by another letter. The third letter indicates where the
connector was made. A connector with MXD is a Molex connector made in Detroit.
Sumitomo has a unique symbol on their connector and possibly a part number. The symbol is
similar to that of a diamond lying on its side, similar to that shown. The logo could appear anywhere
but the most common place is at the wire side of the housing.
* Tyco/AMP has many different and unique connector designs. Some may or may not have
identifiable marks on them.

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

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

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

1. Disconnect the connector from the component.
2. Locate the nose piece locking tabs that are positioned on the side of the connector nose piece.
The connector nose piece acts as a terminal positive
assurance (TPA) and may be referred to as such.
3. Use a small flat-blade tool to push in one of the locking tabs while gently pulling on the same
side of the nose piece. 4. Repeat the procedure for the other locking tab and remove the nose
piece. 5. Remove the wire dress cover. The following is a general procedure for wire dress cover

8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat
procedure for the other side of the dress cover and
remove the cover.
9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the
back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. See the release tool cross reference in the
Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
10. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the
wire out of the front of the connector instead of
pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8618
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long
enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough,
splice a small length of the same gauge wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on
the added wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.

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

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

For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and

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: 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.
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.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8686
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 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.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8687
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
Heated Oxygen Sensor Wiring Repairs

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 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

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

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.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8698
2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splice is made.
3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the instructions for Splicing Copper Wire
Using Splice Sleeves (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves). Staggering the splices by
65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended.
Note: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact
with the drain wire.
4. Re-assemble the cable.
* Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. If the mylar tape is damaged, use 3M product
AL-36FR to replace the damaged mylar tape.
* Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1).
* Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire.
* Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with electrical tape to replace the outer
insulation.
5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape.

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

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

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8702
* 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.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8703
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the J-38125-5 - ultra torch , apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

Bulletin Number 08-07-30-020D (Section 07 - Transmission).
The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

HISTORY DTC
If all readings are normal per Step 2 above, capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data, clear
DTCs and attempt to duplicate the fail conditions.
1. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
"HLLL" and the IMS state of "Neutral/Drive 6",
complete the following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM or low value,
Engine Torque >30 Nm.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Determine if the shift lever can be hung-up between Neutral and Drive 6. If so, there may be
excessive drag in the system.
- Move the shift lever through each detent position, ensuring positive detent feel. If any concern is
noted, remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement. Ensure that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.

5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
5. Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to remove the contact information in Step 4 under
HISTORY DTC heading and update the models and model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 08-07-30-020D (Section 07 - Transmission).
The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to remove the contact information in Step 4 under
HISTORY DTC heading and update the models and model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 08-07-30-020D (Section 07 - Transmission).
The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

HISTORY DTC
If all readings are normal per Step 2 above, capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data, clear
DTCs and attempt to duplicate the fail conditions.
1. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
"HLLL" and the IMS state of "Neutral/Drive 6",
complete the following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM or low value,
Engine Torque >30 Nm.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Determine if the shift lever can be hung-up between Neutral and Drive 6. If so, there may be
excessive drag in the system.
- Move the shift lever through each detent position, ensuring positive detent feel. If any concern is
noted, remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement. Ensure that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer. If the vehicle has been returned to the dealer with this Freeze Frame bit
codes after repairs, contact the person(s) below in Step 4.
2. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of "HHLH"
and IMS state of "Blank", complete the
following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS >0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission

4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.

5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
5. Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.

Clutch Pedal Position Sensor Learn
Important: The clutch pedal position (CPP) sensor learn procedure is required when the following
service procedures have been performed regardless of whether DTC P080A is set:
* An engine control module (ECM) replacement
* A CPP sensor replacement
* Any repairs which affect the CPP sensor relationship
1. Install a scan tool. 2. Monitor the ECM for DTCs with a scan tool. If other DTCs are set, except
DTC P080A, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle (
See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic
Trouble Code Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle) for the applicable DTC
that set.
3. With a scan tool, select Clutch Pedal Position Learn under Module Setup in Manual
Transmission, and perform the following instructions
displayed on the scan tool screen.
Important: The CPP sensor learn procedure cannot be performed more than once per ignition
cycle. The clutch pedal needs to be fully depressed and held steady throughout this procedure in
order to perform a correct learning.
4. The scan tool will display under CPP Learn Status: Not Learned, In Process, Complete, Fail Low Volt, Fail - High Volt, or Fail Moving. The
scan tool will display under CPP Learn Status Complete if the process was successful.
5. If the scan tool indicates that DTC P080A ran and passed this ignition the CPP sensor learn
procedure is complete. If the scan tool indicates DTC
P080A failed or did not run this ignition, refer to DTC P080A (See: Powertrain
Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code
Tests and Associated Procedures/P Code Charts/P080A/Tremec 5-Speed (TZ0) - Manual
Transmission). If any other DTC is set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle (See:
Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic
Trouble Code Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle) for the applicable DTC.
6. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds after the learn procedure has successfully completed in
order to store the CPP sensor variation values in
ECM history.

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).
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 (Manual) (See:
)Hydraulic Brake System Bleeding (Pressure) (See: )Hydraulic Brake System Bleeding (Two-mode
Hybrid) (See: ).
* 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

Bulletin Number 10-05-23-00A (Section 05 - Brakes).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a pulsation or vibration mostly concentrated in the steering
wheel during downhill descent as specifically described. This condition will most often begin as an
increasing rumbling noise coming from the underbody or the front of the vehicle. This condition is
exhibited mostly in mountainous regions.
Note
Use care to ensure the following diagnosis and repair are only attempted if the conditions and
concern match those listed, and if the concern can be duplicated under the same conditions.
This condition occurs ONLY under the following conditions:
- When the vehicle is driven as follows:
- On a downhill descent on a fairly steep grade (approximately 5% or greater).
- On taller hills (roughly 1.5‹›km [1‹›mi] road length or greater), without sharp turns.
- At speeds above 64‹›km/h (40‹›mph).
- Using the brakes just enough to maintain the speed limit when moving downhill.
- Typically, a rumbling noise will be heard first, building in intensity, followed by increasing
pulsation, or vibration, felt in the steering wheel, then typically felt in the floor panel.
- The condition will be eliminated once the vehicle is driven on relatively flat ground, typically for
1.5-3‹›km (1-2 mi).
Cause
This condition may be caused by interaction between the front brake lining material and the front
brake rotors.
Correction
Important DO NOT attempt any repairs on the vehicle until you verify the specific condition is
present by following the steps below:
1. Warm up the vehicle by driving approximately 8 km (5 mi). 2. Drive the vehicle in the lane closest
to the side of the fairly steep grade (roughly 5 percent or greater), taller hill (roughly 1.5 km [1‹›mi]
road
length or greater), without sharp turns, and with a speed limit of 64 km/h (40 mph) or greater, with
the side windows down.
3. While in Drive, descending downhill, apply the brakes naturally, only as needed, to maintain the
speed limit. 4. Observe for noise, followed by pulsation/vibration. Observe where the noise,
pulsation and/or vibration are most noticeable. 5. Drive the vehicle on relatively flat ground for 1.5-3
km (1-2 mi) to verify that the condition goes away completely.

If the Front Pad Kit listed is used to correct any condition other than the condition described in this
bulletin, the vehicle could experience higher mileage corrosion-induced brake pulsation.
If the condition described HAS NOT been verified, or if the condition observed IS NOT most
noticeable through the steering wheel, the observed condition may have a different cause, such as
a tire/wheel or rear brake issue, etc. Refer to SI for any further related diagnostics.
If the condition described has been verified, and if the condition is most noticeable through the
steering wheel, and if the condition was eliminated after driving the vehicle on relatively flat ground,
typically for 1.5-3‹›km (1-2 mi), perform the following inspections and repairs.
Important
- It is critical to use the proper OEM brake rotors. Use of Non-OEM rotors may prevent the
condition from being corrected long term.
- If Non-OEM rotors are identified, these rotors are NOT covered under the GM New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
1. Inspect the front brake rotors to ensure that they are OEM rotors.
- Remove the brake rotor from the vehicle.
- Inspect the back side of the rotor for the Bosch Logo. If the Bosch logo IS NOT present, replace
with OEM GM rotors, P/N 25819670.
2. Inspect the front brake rotors for Assembled Lateral Runout (LRO) and thickness variation.
Follow SI procedures. 3. Inspect the front brake rotors for minimum thickness. Follow SI
procedures. 4. If the rotors are within specifications, DO NOT refinish or replace the rotors. 5. If the
rotors are out of specifications, refinish the rotors on a qualified lathe, or replace the rotors as
appropriate. Follow SI procedures.
Note To prevent a noise concern, follow the brake pad insulator preparation and seating
instructions as referenced in Front Brake Pad Replacement (1500) in SI.
6. Install the specified front pad kit, GM P/N 25910432. Follow SI procedures. 7. Ensure that the
condition has been eliminated under the same conditions.

The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

HISTORY DTC
If all readings are normal per Step 2 above, capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data, clear
DTCs and attempt to duplicate the fail conditions.
1. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
"HLLL" and the IMS state of "Neutral/Drive 6",
complete the following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM or low value,
Engine Torque >30 Nm.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Determine if the shift lever can be hung-up between Neutral and Drive 6. If so, there may be
excessive drag in the system.
- Move the shift lever through each detent position, ensuring positive detent feel. If any concern is
noted, remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement. Ensure that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer. If the vehicle has been returned to the dealer with this Freeze Frame bit
codes after repairs, contact the person(s) below in Step 4.
2. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of "HHLH"
and IMS state of "Blank", complete the
following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS >0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.

vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and the valve body assembly. If
continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
5. Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.

HISTORY DTC
If all readings are normal per Step 2 above, capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data, clear
DTCs and attempt to duplicate the fail conditions.
1. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
"HLLL" and the IMS state of "Neutral/Drive 6",
complete the following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM or low value,
Engine Torque >30 Nm.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Determine if the shift lever can be hung-up between Neutral and Drive 6. If so, there may be
excessive drag in the system.
- Move the shift lever through each detent position, ensuring positive detent feel. If any concern is
noted, remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement. Ensure that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer. If the vehicle has been returned to the dealer with this Freeze Frame bit
codes after repairs, contact the person(s) below in Step 4.
2. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of "HHLH"
and IMS state of "Blank", complete the
following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS >0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.

vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to

P1825/P182E or P1915/MIL ON > Page 8990
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and the valve body assembly. If
continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.

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.

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.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2012 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 10-05-23-00A (Section 05 - Brakes).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a pulsation or vibration mostly concentrated in the steering
wheel during downhill descent as specifically described. This condition will most often begin as an
increasing rumbling noise coming from the underbody or the front of the vehicle. This condition is
exhibited mostly in mountainous regions.
Note
Use care to ensure the following diagnosis and repair are only attempted if the conditions and
concern match those listed, and if the concern can be duplicated under the same conditions.
This condition occurs ONLY under the following conditions:
- When the vehicle is driven as follows:
- On a downhill descent on a fairly steep grade (approximately 5% or greater).
- On taller hills (roughly 1.5‹›km [1‹›mi] road length or greater), without sharp turns.
- At speeds above 64‹›km/h (40‹›mph).
- Using the brakes just enough to maintain the speed limit when moving downhill.
- Typically, a rumbling noise will be heard first, building in intensity, followed by increasing
pulsation, or vibration, felt in the steering wheel, then typically felt in the floor panel.
- The condition will be eliminated once the vehicle is driven on relatively flat ground, typically for
1.5-3‹›km (1-2 mi).
Cause
This condition may be caused by interaction between the front brake lining material and the front
brake rotors.
Correction
Important DO NOT attempt any repairs on the vehicle until you verify the specific condition is
present by following the steps below:
1. Warm up the vehicle by driving approximately 8 km (5 mi). 2. Drive the vehicle in the lane closest
to the side of the fairly steep grade (roughly 5 percent or greater), taller hill (roughly 1.5 km [1‹›mi]
road
length or greater), without sharp turns, and with a speed limit of 64 km/h (40 mph) or greater, with
the side windows down.
3. While in Drive, descending downhill, apply the brakes naturally, only as needed, to maintain the
speed limit. 4. Observe for noise, followed by pulsation/vibration. Observe where the noise,
pulsation and/or vibration are most noticeable. 5. Drive the vehicle on relatively flat ground for 1.5-3
km (1-2 mi) to verify that the condition goes away completely.

If the Front Pad Kit listed is used to correct any condition other than the condition described in this
bulletin, the vehicle could experience higher mileage corrosion-induced brake pulsation.
If the condition described HAS NOT been verified, or if the condition observed IS NOT most
noticeable through the steering wheel, the observed condition may have a different cause, such as
a tire/wheel or rear brake issue, etc. Refer to SI for any further related diagnostics.
If the condition described has been verified, and if the condition is most noticeable through the
steering wheel, and if the condition was eliminated after driving the vehicle on relatively flat ground,
typically for 1.5-3‹›km (1-2 mi), perform the following inspections and repairs.
Important
- It is critical to use the proper OEM brake rotors. Use of Non-OEM rotors may prevent the
condition from being corrected long term.
- If Non-OEM rotors are identified, these rotors are NOT covered under the GM New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
1. Inspect the front brake rotors to ensure that they are OEM rotors.
- Remove the brake rotor from the vehicle.
- Inspect the back side of the rotor for the Bosch Logo. If the Bosch logo IS NOT present, replace
with OEM GM rotors, P/N 25819670.
2. Inspect the front brake rotors for Assembled Lateral Runout (LRO) and thickness variation.
Follow SI procedures. 3. Inspect the front brake rotors for minimum thickness. Follow SI
procedures. 4. If the rotors are within specifications, DO NOT refinish or replace the rotors. 5. If the
rotors are out of specifications, refinish the rotors on a qualified lathe, or replace the rotors as
appropriate. Follow SI procedures.
Note To prevent a noise concern, follow the brake pad insulator preparation and seating
instructions as referenced in Front Brake Pad Replacement (1500) in SI.
6. Install the specified front pad kit, GM P/N 25910432. Follow SI procedures. 7. Ensure that the
condition has been eliminated under the same conditions.

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

Important
When using any one of the brake labor operations listed in this bulletin (except for H9709 - Brake
Burnish), the following two rotor measurements (1. Original Rotor Thickness, 2. Refinished Rotor
Thickness are required and MUST be written/documented on the repair order, or for your
convenience, complete the form (GM Brake Service Repair Order Documentation for Required
Measurements) shown above and attach it to the repair order. If the Warranty Parts Center
generates a request, this Documentation/Form must be attached to the repair order that is sent
back.
Important
Documentation of brake lathe maintenance and calibration as recommended by the lathe
manufacturer must be available for review upon request.
Repair Order Documentation - Rotor Original And Refinished Thickness - REQUIRED
When resurfacing a brake rotor or drum, the ORIGINAL thickness (measured thickness before
refinish) and REFINISHED thickness (measured thickness after refinish) MUST be
written/documented on the repair order hard copy for each rotor serviced. If a rotor replacement is
necessary, only the original thickness measurement needs to be recorded.
Repair Order Documentation - Explanation of Part Replacement - REQUIRED
If replacement of a brake component is necessary, proper documentation on the repair order is
required. See the following examples:
^ Brake rotor replacement - Customer comment was brake pulsation. Rotor was refinished on a
prior brake service. After rotor measurement, it was determined that refinishing the rotor again
would take it under the Minimum Thickness specification.
^ Brake pad replacement - Customer comment was brake squeak noise. On inspection, found pads
contaminated by fluid leak at caliper.

GM Brake Service Procedure
GM BRAKE SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Remove the wheel and caliper.
2. Measure rotor thickness. In order to determine if the rotor can be refinished, do the following
steps:
Important
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

If performing routine Brake Service for worn pads only, and the rotors are not damaged and
measure within specification - DO NOT REFINISH ROTORS.
1. Remove the rotor(s).
2. Measure the rotor for original thickness using a brake micrometer. Multiple measure points
should be taken and the lowest measurement
should be recorded.
3. Reference the Minimum Thickness specification stamped on the backside of the rotor or SI for
Minimum Thickness specification/other. In
most cases, the rotor should be refinished unless the measurement taken makes it obvious that
refinishing the rotor would take the measurement under the Minimum Thickness specification (then
replacement is necessary). DO NOT use any other manufacturers rotor specifications.
3. ***Record the lowest ORIGINAL rotor thickness measurement on the repair order hard copy as
noted in the "Repair Order Documentation - Rotor
Refinish" section of this bulletin.
4. Clean all of the mating surfaces between the hub, the rotor and the wheel using the J 42450A Wheel Hub Cleaning Kit and J 41013 - Whiz
Wheel(R).
If rotors are not to be refinished - Go To Step 8.
Important Cleaning all mating surfaces and making them free of corrosion, burrs and other debris
(which includes removal of Hubless rotors) is critical and MUST be performed whether using an
On-Car or Bench Lathe Refinish Procedure.
5. Be sure to follow the appropriate refinishing procedure listed below for the type of lathe you are
using.
Important Only replace the rotors if they do not meet the Minimum Thickness specification.
Important DO NOT REFINISH NEW ROTORS.
Important Only remove the necessary amount of material from each side of the rotor and note that
equal amounts of material do not have to be removed from both sides on any brake system using a
floating caliper.
Important Prior to making the cut, install the recommended clip-on style disc silencer supplied with
the lathe. Use of this silencer is critical to prevent chatter from occurring during the cut.
Bench Type Lathe
1. Refinish the existing rotor on an approved, well-maintained lathe to guarantee smooth, flat and
parallel surfaces.
2. Check for clean and true lathe adapters and make sure the arbor shoulder is clean and free of
debris or burrs. For more information, see the
"Brake Lathe Calibration Procedure (Bench-Type)" section in this bulletin.
3. On the outboard area of the rotor, position the cutting tools one eighth of an inch into the brake
pad area of the rotor. Feed the cutting tools
into the rotor until they cut the rotor to new metal, a full 360 degrees. Zero each dial and back off a
full turn
4. Move the cutting bits to the middle of the rotor and do the same procedure. If zero is passed
during the process, reset zero. Back off a full turn.
5. Position the cutting bits one eighth of an inch inside the inboard (closest to the hub) edge of the
brake pad contact area. Do the same
procedure. If zero is passed during the process, reset zero.
6. Back off a full turn and position the cutting bits all the way inboard in preparation to refinish the
full rotor surface. Advance both tool cutters to the
zero setting plus just enough to clean up the entire rotor surface.
7. After completing the refinish, sand both sides of the rotor for approximately one minute per side
using a sanding block and 130-150 grit sandpaper
to obtain a non-directional finish.
On-Car Type Lathe
1. Reinstall the rotor(s).
Important
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Rotor/Disc > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Brake Rotor/Disc: > 00-05-22-002L > Mar >

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.

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).

09 > Brakes- Disc Brake Warranty Service And Procedures > Page 9032
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.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Brake Rotor/Disc: > 00-05-22-002L > Mar >
09 > Brakes- Disc Brake Warranty Service And Procedures > Page 9033
Important
If runout is still present, contact the brake lathe supplier.
ON-CAR TYPE LATHE
Use the following procedure to calibrate an On-Car brake lathe:
1. Connect the lathe to a vehicle using the appropriate adapter.
2. Attach a vise-grip dial indicator to a fixed point in the wheel well and bring the dial indicator to a
flat surface on the cutting head.
3. Turn on the lathe and press the "start" button so the lathe begins to compensate.
4. Once compensation is complete, note the runout as measured by the dial indicator. Measured
runout at this point is overstated given that it is
outside the rotor diameter.
5. If runout is in excess of 0.1016 mm (0.004 in) (0.050 mm (0.002 in) as measured within the rotor
diameter), calibration must be tightened. Follow
manufacturer's instructions for tightening the calibration of the lathe. This information is found in the
manual supplied with the lathe.
Important If the machine is taking a long time to compensate during normal use, prior to checking
the lathe calibration, it is recommended that the machine be disconnected from the adapter and the
adapter (still connected to the vehicle) is rotated 180 degrees and the machine reattached. This will
accomplish two things: - It will re-verify the machine is properly attached to the adapter. - It will
change the location of the runout (phase) relative to the machine and thus possibly allow for quick
compensation as a result of the position change.
The following information has been added as a reference to ensure your Pro-Cut PFM lathe
provides a consistent smooth surface finish over long term usage.
Cutting Tips / Depth of Cut / Tip Life
The cutting tips must be right side up. Reference marks always face up. The cutting tips may not
have chips or dings in the surface of the points. Cuts of 0.1016-0.381 mm (0.004-0.015 in) will
provide the best surface finish and the optimal tip life. When cleaning or rotating the cutting bits,
make sure that the seat area for the tip on the tool is free and clear of debris.
Cutting Head
On each brake job, the technician must center the cutting head for that particular vehicle using one
of the mounting bolt holes on the slide plate. Once the head is centered, it is vital that the
technician use one hand to push the head firmly and squarely back into the dovetail on the slide
plate while using the other hand to tighten the Allen-Hex bolt that secures the head. Failure to do
this could result in chatter occurring during the cut.
Tool Holder Plate (Cutting Head)
The tool holder plate is the plate that the cutting arms are attached to. It can bend or break if a
technician accidently runs the cutting arms into the hub of the rotor while the rotor is turning. (Cuts
of more than 0.508 mm (0.020 in) can also bend this plate). Once bent, the lathe will most likely not
cut properly until the tool holder plate is replaced. In order to verify the condition of the tool holder
plate on a machine that will not cut right, remove the mounting bolt and remove the cutting head
from the slide plate. With the cutting head titled at an angle, lay the long edge of the tool holder
plate down on the flat part of the slide plate. If any gap can be seen between the edge and the slide
plate, the tool holder plate is bent and the source of vibration. Also check to ensure that the cutting
arms are lying flat on the upper side of the tool holder plate. If the mounting arm post is bent, it will
show itself by having the back of the cutting arm lifting off the surface of the tool holder.
Gib Adjustment / Loose Gib
As wear occurs between the slide plate and the box it rides on, you must take up the slack. You do
this by way of a moveable wedge, which we call the gib. Your lathe manual details adjustment
process, which you should perform when required after monthly checks or whenever surface finish
is inconsistent.
Brake Pulsation
BRAKE PULSATION
Brake pulsation is caused by brake rotor thickness variation. Brake rotor thickness variation causes
the piston in the brake caliper, when applied, to "pump" in and out of the caliper housing. The
"pumping" effect is transmitted hydraulically to the brake pedal. Brake pulsation concerns may
result from two basic conditions:
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Rotor/Disc > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Brake Rotor/Disc: > 00-05-22-002L > Mar >
09 > Brakes- Disc Brake Warranty Service And Procedures > Page 9034
1. Thickness Variation Pulsation is Caused by Lateral Run Out (LRO). LRO on a brake corner
assembly is virtually undetectable unless measured
(with a dial indicator after the brake service) and will not be detected as brake pulsation during an
after brake service test drive. If the brake corner is assembled with excessive LRO (greater than
0.050 mm (0.002 in), thickness variation will develop on the brake rotor over time and miles.
Excessive LRO will cause the brake pads to wear the brake rotors unevenly, which causes rotor
thickness variation. Pulsation that is the result of excessive Lateral Run Out usually develops in
4,800-16,000 km (3,000-10,000 mi). The more excessive the LRO, the faster the pulsation will
develop. LRO can also be induced when uneven torque is applied to wheel nuts (lug nuts).
Improper wheel tightening after tire rotation, spare tire usage, brake inspection, etc. can be the
cause of brake pulsation. Again, it usually takes 4,800-16,000 km (3,000-10,000 mi) AFTER the
service event for the condition to develop. The customer does not usually make the connection
between the service event and the awareness of the pulsation. The proper usage of torque
wrenches and/or torque sticks (torque limiting sockets) will greatly reduce or eliminate the pulsation
conditions after wheel service events. The improper use of impact wrenches on wheel nuts greatly
increases the likelihood of pulsation after wheel service.
The following are examples of pulsation conditions and reimbursement recommendations:
- If the customer noticed the condition between 4,800-16,000 km (3,000-10,000 mi) and it gradually
got worse, normally the repair would be covered. The customer may tolerate the condition until it
becomes very apparent.
- If a GM dealer performed a prior brake service, consider paying for the repair and then strongly
reinforce proper brake lathe maintenance.
- If the customer had the brake service done outside of a GM dealership, normally GM would not
offer any assistance.
- If a customer indicated they had wheel service, ask who performed the service. Then;
- If a GM dealer performed the service, consider paying for the repair and then strongly reinforce
the use of torque sticks at the dealer. Two common size torque sticks cover 90% of all GM
products. Each technician needs to use torque sticks properly every time the wheel nuts are
tightened.
- If the customer had the wheel service done outside of a GM dealership, normally GM would not
offer any assistance.
2. Thickness Variation Pulsation Caused by Brake Rotor Corrosion - Rotor corrosion is another
form of thickness variation, which can cause a
pulsation concern and can be addressed as follows:
- Cosmetic Corrosion:
In most instances rotor corrosion is cosmetic and refinishing the rotor is unnecessary.
- Corrosion - Pulsation Caused by Thickness Variation (Lot Rot / Low Miles - 0-321 km (0-200 mi):
At times more extensive corrosion can cause pulsation due to thickness variation. This usually
happens when the vehicle is parked for long periods of time in humid type conditions and the
braking surface area under the pads corrodes at a different rate compared to the rest of the braking
surface area. Cleaning up of braking surfaces (burnishing) can be accomplished by 10 - 15
moderate stops from 56- 64 km/h (35 - 40 mph) with cooling time between stops. If multiple
moderate braking stops do not correct this condition, follow the "Brake Rotor Clean-Up Procedure"
below.
- Corrosion - Pulsation Caused by Thickness Variation (without rotor flaking / higher mileage 3,200-8,000 km (2,000-5,000 mi):
In some cases, more extensive corrosion that is not cleaned up by the brake pad over time and
miles can cause the same type of pulsation complaint due to thickness variation. In these cases,
the rotor surface is usually darker instead of shiny and a brake pad foot print can be seen against
the darker surface. This darker surface is usually due to build-up, on the rotor material surface,
caused by a combination of corrosion, pad material and heat. To correct this condition, follow the
"Brake Rotor Clean-up Procedure" below.
- Corrosion - Pulsation Caused by Thickness Variation (with rotor flaking / higher mileage - 8,000 +
km (5,000 + miles) :
At times, more extensive corrosion over time and miles can cause pulsation due to thickness
variation (flaking). This flaking is usually a build up, mostly on the rotor material surface, caused by
a combination of corrosion, pad material and heat. When rotor measurements are taken, the low
areas are usually close to the original rotor thickness (new rotor) measurement and the high areas
usually measure more than the original rotor thickness (new rotor) measurement (depending on
mileage and normal wear). To correct this condition, follow the "Brake Rotor Clean-up Procedure"
described below.
Important In some flaking instances, cleaning-up this type of corrosion may require more rotor
material to be removed then desired. Customer consideration should be taken in these situations
and handled on a case by case basis, depending on the amount/percentage of rotor life remaining
and the vehicle's warranty time and miles.

BRAKE ROTOR CLEAN-UP PROCEDURE
Clean-up the rotors on an approved, well-maintained brake lathe to guarantee smooth, flat and
parallel surfaces. Check for clean and true lathe adapters and make sure the arbor shoulder is
clean and free of debris or burrs. For more information see the "Brake Lathe Calibration Procedure"
section in this bulletin.
1. On the outboard area of the rotor, position the cutting tools one eighth of an inch into the brake
pad area of the rotor. Feed the cutting tools into the
rotor until they cut the rotor to new metal, a full 360 degrees. Zero each dial and back off a full turn.
2. Move the cutting bits to the middle of the rotor and do the same procedure. If zero is passed
during the process, reset zero. Back off a full turn.
3. Position the cutting bits one eighth of an inch inside the inboard (closest to the hub) edge of the
brake pad contact area. Do the same procedure. If
zero is passed during the process, reset zero.
4. Back off a full turn and position the cutting bits all the way inboard in preparation to refinish the
full rotor surface. Advance both tool cutters to the
zero setting plus just enough to clean up the entire rotor surface.
5. After completing the refinish, sand both sides of the rotor for approximately one minute per side
using a sanding block and 130-150 grit sandpaper
to obtain a non-directional finish.
Important Only remove the necessary amount of material from each side of the rotor and note that
equal amounts of material do not have to be removed from both sides on any brake system using a
floating caliper.
Important In many of these instances, such a minimal amount of material is removed from the rotor
that customer satisfaction is not a concern for future brake services. This procedure is intended to
"Clean-up" the rotor surface and should be conveyed to the customer as such - not as "cut",
"refinish" or "machine", which tends to be terms understood as a substantial reduction of rotor
material/life. If the brake lathe equipment being used is not capable of removing minor amounts of
material while holding tolerances, further lathe maintenance, repair, updates or equipment
replacement may be necessary.
Brake Noise
BRAKE NOISE
Some brake noise is normal and differences in loading, type of driving, or driving style can make a
difference in brake wear on the same make and model. Depending on weather conditions, driving
patterns and the local environment, brake noise may become more or less apparent. Verify all
metal-to-metal contact areas between pads, pad guides, caliper and knuckles are clean and
lubricated with a thin layer of high temperature silicone grease. Brake noise is caused by a
"slip-stick" vibration of brake components. While intermittent brake noise may be normal,
performing 3 to 4 aggressive stops may temporarily reduce or eliminate most brake squeal. If the
noise persists and is consistently occurring, a brake dampening compound may be applied to the
back of each pad. This allows parts to slide freely and not vibrate when moving relative to each
other. Use Silicone Brake Lubricant, ACDelco P/N 88862181 (Canadian P/N 88862496) or
equivalent.
The following noises are characteristics of all braking systems and are unavoidable. They may not
indicate improper operation of the brake system.
Squeak/Squeal Noise:
- Occurs with front semi-metallic brake pads at medium speeds when light to medium pressure is
applied to the brake pedal.
- Occasionally a noise may occur on rear brakes during the first few stops or with cold brakes
and/or high humidity.
Grinding Noise:
- Common to rear brakes and some front disc brakes during initial stops after the vehicle has been
parked overnight.
- Caused by corrosion on the metal surfaces during vehicle non-use. Usually disappears after a few
stops.
Groan Noise:
A groan type noise may be heard when stopping quickly or moving forward slowly from a complete
stop. This is normal. On vehicles equipped with ABS, a groan or moan type noise during hard
braking applications or loose gravel, wet or icy road conditions is a normal function of the ABS
activation.
Key Points - Frequently Asked Questions
KEY POINTS - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- Q: How do on-car lathes react to Axle Float? Does the play affect the machining of the rotor,
either surface finish or LRO?
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Rotor/Disc > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Brake Rotor/Disc: > 00-05-22-002L > Mar >
09 > Brakes- Disc Brake Warranty Service And Procedures > Page 9036
A: Because the Pro-Cut on-car lathe adjusts in a live mode while spinning the hub/rotor, the
dynamics of a floating axle are effectively eliminated. Once the lathe is compensated, there is no
difference in the cutting/surface finish and LRO are just the same as with a non-floating axle.
- Q: Which lathe is essential for performing brake work, the bench or on-car?
A: Dealers must have a well maintained bench lathe and well maintained on-car lathe. These
lathes need to be calibrated on a monthly basis. BOTH lathes are essential to providing quality
brake service.
- Q: What is the expected tip life for an on-car lathe?
A: The geometry and composition of the Pro-Cut tips are designed for "single pass" cutting. When
using the Pro-Cut the cutting depth should be set to take all material needed to get below rust
grooves, eliminate all run-out and resurface the entire disc in a single pass. Cuts of 0.1016-0.381
mm (0.004-0.015 in) will provide the best surface finish and the optimal tip life. No "skim cut" or
"finish cut" is needed. Failure to follow this procedure will shorten tip life. The Pro-cut tips will last
between 7-12 cuts per corner. With three usable corners, a pair of tips is good for at least 21 cuts.
- Q: Why does GM recommend the use of single pass (referred to as "positive rake") bench and
on-car brake lathes?
A: GM Service and GM Brake Engineering have performed competitive evaluations on a significant
number of bench and on-car brake lathes. These tests measured critical performance
characteristics such as flatness, surface finish and the ability of the lathe to repeat accuracy over
many uses. In each test, single pass lathe designs out performed the competitors. Single pass
brake lathes are more productive requiring less time to perform the same procedure.
- Q: Is it okay to leave the caliper/pads installed while cutting rotors using an on-car lathe?
A: On-car lathes should never be used with the pads and calipers installed on the vehicle. The
debris from cutting the rotors can contaminate the brake pads/calipers which can lead to other
brake concerns and comebacks.
- Q: What information needs to be documented on the Repair Order?
A: Any claim that is submitted using the labor operations in this bulletin, must have the Original
Rotor Thickness and Refinish Rotor Thickness (if refinished) documented on the repair order. For
more information, refer to the "Repair Order Required Documentation" section of this bulletin.
All Warranty Repair Orders paid by GM, are subject to review for compliance and may be debited
where the repair does not comply with this procedure.
Brake Warranty
BRAKE WARRANTY
Brake Rotors:
- Brake rotor warranty is covered under the terms of the GM New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Reference the vehicle's warranty guide for verification.
- Rotors should not be refinished or replaced during normal/routine pad replacement.
- Rotors should not be refinished or replaced and is ineffective in correcting brake squeal type
noises and/or premature lining wear out.
- Rotors should not be refinished or replaced for cosmetic corrosion. Clean up of braking surfaces
can be accomplished by 10-15 moderate stops from 56-64 km/h (35-40 mph) with cooling time
between stops.
- Rotors should not be refinished or replaced for rotor discoloration/hard spots.
- Rotors should be refinished NOT replaced for Customer Pulsation concerns. This condition is a
result of rotor thickness variation, usually caused by LRO (wear induced over time and miles) or
corrosion (Lot Rot).
- When rotor refinishing, only remove the necessary amount of material from each side of the rotor
and note that equal amounts of material do not have to be removed from both sides on any brake
system using a floating caliper.
- Rotors should be refinished for severe scoring - depth in excess of 1.5 mm (0.060 in).
Important If the scoring depth is more than 1.5 mm (0.060 in) after the rotor is refinished, it should
be replaced.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Rotor/Disc > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Brake Rotor/Disc: > 00-05-22-002L > Mar >
09 > Brakes- Disc Brake Warranty Service And Procedures > Page 9037
- 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

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

Certification program 15003.16H.
Important
PLEASE FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THESE UPDATES BEFORE PERFORMING YOUR
NEXT GM BRAKE SERVICE.
The following four (4) key steps are a summary of this bulletin and are REQUIRED in completing a
successful brake service.
1. Measure and Document Pre-Service Rotor Thickness* (REQUIRED on Repair Order) determine rotor clean-up/refinish/replace
2. Properly clean ALL brake corner mating surfaces - hub, rotor and wheel
3. Properly clean-up/refinish rotor, measure and document post-service rotor thickness
(REQUIRED on Repair Order)
Important If it is determined the rotor needs to be refinished, verify lathe equipment is properly
calibrated.
4. Properly reassemble the brake corner using proper torque tools, torque specification and torque
sequence - wheel lug nuts.
* The bulletin refers to Minimum Thickness specification as the minimum allowable thickness after
refinish. Always refer to SI to verify the spec stamped on the rotor is the minimum thickness spec
after refinish and not the discard spec.

Important
When using any one of the brake labor operations listed in this bulletin (except for H9709 - Brake
Burnish), the following two rotor measurements (1. Original Rotor Thickness, 2. Refinished Rotor
Thickness are required and MUST be written/documented on the repair order, or for your
convenience, complete the form (GM Brake Service Repair Order Documentation for Required
Measurements) shown above and attach it to the repair order. If the Warranty Parts Center
generates a request, this Documentation/Form must be attached to the repair order that is sent
back.
Important
Documentation of brake lathe maintenance and calibration as recommended by the lathe
manufacturer must be available for review upon request.
Repair Order Documentation - Rotor Original And Refinished Thickness - REQUIRED
When resurfacing a brake rotor or drum, the ORIGINAL thickness (measured thickness before
refinish) and REFINISHED thickness (measured thickness after refinish) MUST be
written/documented on the repair order hard copy for each rotor serviced. If a rotor replacement is
necessary, only the original thickness measurement needs to be recorded.
Repair Order Documentation - Explanation of Part Replacement - REQUIRED
If replacement of a brake component is necessary, proper documentation on the repair order is
required. See the following examples:
^ Brake rotor replacement - Customer comment was brake pulsation. Rotor was refinished on a
prior brake service. After rotor measurement, it was determined that refinishing the rotor again
would take it under the Minimum Thickness specification.
^ Brake pad replacement - Customer comment was brake squeak noise. On inspection, found pads
contaminated by fluid leak at caliper.

Disclaimer
GM Brake Service Procedure
GM BRAKE SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Remove the wheel and caliper.
2. Measure rotor thickness. In order to determine if the rotor can be refinished, do the following
steps:
Important
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Rotor/Disc > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Brake Rotor/Disc: > 00-05-22-002L > Mar > 09 >
Brakes- Disc Brake Warranty Service And Procedures > Page 9048
If performing routine Brake Service for worn pads only, and the rotors are not damaged and
measure within specification - DO NOT REFINISH ROTORS.
1. Remove the rotor(s).
2. Measure the rotor for original thickness using a brake micrometer. Multiple measure points
should be taken and the lowest measurement
should be recorded.
3. Reference the Minimum Thickness specification stamped on the backside of the rotor or SI for
Minimum Thickness specification/other. In
most cases, the rotor should be refinished unless the measurement taken makes it obvious that
refinishing the rotor would take the measurement under the Minimum Thickness specification (then
replacement is necessary). DO NOT use any other manufacturers rotor specifications.
3. ***Record the lowest ORIGINAL rotor thickness measurement on the repair order hard copy as
noted in the "Repair Order Documentation - Rotor
Refinish" section of this bulletin.
4. Clean all of the mating surfaces between the hub, the rotor and the wheel using the J 42450A Wheel Hub Cleaning Kit and J 41013 - Whiz
Wheel(R).
If rotors are not to be refinished - Go To Step 8.
Important Cleaning all mating surfaces and making them free of corrosion, burrs and other debris
(which includes removal of Hubless rotors) is critical and MUST be performed whether using an
On-Car or Bench Lathe Refinish Procedure.
5. Be sure to follow the appropriate refinishing procedure listed below for the type of lathe you are
using.
Important Only replace the rotors if they do not meet the Minimum Thickness specification.
Important DO NOT REFINISH NEW ROTORS.
Important Only remove the necessary amount of material from each side of the rotor and note that
equal amounts of material do not have to be removed from both sides on any brake system using a
floating caliper.
Important Prior to making the cut, install the recommended clip-on style disc silencer supplied with
the lathe. Use of this silencer is critical to prevent chatter from occurring during the cut.
Bench Type Lathe
1. Refinish the existing rotor on an approved, well-maintained lathe to guarantee smooth, flat and
parallel surfaces.
2. Check for clean and true lathe adapters and make sure the arbor shoulder is clean and free of
debris or burrs. For more information, see the
"Brake Lathe Calibration Procedure (Bench-Type)" section in this bulletin.
3. On the outboard area of the rotor, position the cutting tools one eighth of an inch into the brake
pad area of the rotor. Feed the cutting tools
into the rotor until they cut the rotor to new metal, a full 360 degrees. Zero each dial and back off a
full turn
4. Move the cutting bits to the middle of the rotor and do the same procedure. If zero is passed
during the process, reset zero. Back off a full turn.
5. Position the cutting bits one eighth of an inch inside the inboard (closest to the hub) edge of the
brake pad contact area. Do the same
procedure. If zero is passed during the process, reset zero.
6. Back off a full turn and position the cutting bits all the way inboard in preparation to refinish the
full rotor surface. Advance both tool cutters to the
zero setting plus just enough to clean up the entire rotor surface.
7. After completing the refinish, sand both sides of the rotor for approximately one minute per side
using a sanding block and 130-150 grit sandpaper
to obtain a non-directional finish.
On-Car Type Lathe
1. Reinstall the rotor(s).
Important
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

Brakes- Disc Brake Warranty Service And Procedures > Page 9049
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.

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).

Brakes- Disc Brake Warranty Service And Procedures > Page 9051
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.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Brake Rotor/Disc: > 00-05-22-002L > Mar > 09 >
Brakes- Disc Brake Warranty Service And Procedures > Page 9052
Important
If runout is still present, contact the brake lathe supplier.
ON-CAR TYPE LATHE
Use the following procedure to calibrate an On-Car brake lathe:
1. Connect the lathe to a vehicle using the appropriate adapter.
2. Attach a vise-grip dial indicator to a fixed point in the wheel well and bring the dial indicator to a
flat surface on the cutting head.
3. Turn on the lathe and press the "start" button so the lathe begins to compensate.
4. Once compensation is complete, note the runout as measured by the dial indicator. Measured
runout at this point is overstated given that it is
outside the rotor diameter.
5. If runout is in excess of 0.1016 mm (0.004 in) (0.050 mm (0.002 in) as measured within the rotor
diameter), calibration must be tightened. Follow
manufacturer's instructions for tightening the calibration of the lathe. This information is found in the
manual supplied with the lathe.
Important If the machine is taking a long time to compensate during normal use, prior to checking
the lathe calibration, it is recommended that the machine be disconnected from the adapter and the
adapter (still connected to the vehicle) is rotated 180 degrees and the machine reattached. This will
accomplish two things: - It will re-verify the machine is properly attached to the adapter. - It will
change the location of the runout (phase) relative to the machine and thus possibly allow for quick
compensation as a result of the position change.
The following information has been added as a reference to ensure your Pro-Cut PFM lathe
provides a consistent smooth surface finish over long term usage.
Cutting Tips / Depth of Cut / Tip Life
The cutting tips must be right side up. Reference marks always face up. The cutting tips may not
have chips or dings in the surface of the points. Cuts of 0.1016-0.381 mm (0.004-0.015 in) will
provide the best surface finish and the optimal tip life. When cleaning or rotating the cutting bits,
make sure that the seat area for the tip on the tool is free and clear of debris.
Cutting Head
On each brake job, the technician must center the cutting head for that particular vehicle using one
of the mounting bolt holes on the slide plate. Once the head is centered, it is vital that the
technician use one hand to push the head firmly and squarely back into the dovetail on the slide
plate while using the other hand to tighten the Allen-Hex bolt that secures the head. Failure to do
this could result in chatter occurring during the cut.
Tool Holder Plate (Cutting Head)
The tool holder plate is the plate that the cutting arms are attached to. It can bend or break if a
technician accidently runs the cutting arms into the hub of the rotor while the rotor is turning. (Cuts
of more than 0.508 mm (0.020 in) can also bend this plate). Once bent, the lathe will most likely not
cut properly until the tool holder plate is replaced. In order to verify the condition of the tool holder
plate on a machine that will not cut right, remove the mounting bolt and remove the cutting head
from the slide plate. With the cutting head titled at an angle, lay the long edge of the tool holder
plate down on the flat part of the slide plate. If any gap can be seen between the edge and the slide
plate, the tool holder plate is bent and the source of vibration. Also check to ensure that the cutting
arms are lying flat on the upper side of the tool holder plate. If the mounting arm post is bent, it will
show itself by having the back of the cutting arm lifting off the surface of the tool holder.
Gib Adjustment / Loose Gib
As wear occurs between the slide plate and the box it rides on, you must take up the slack. You do
this by way of a moveable wedge, which we call the gib. Your lathe manual details adjustment
process, which you should perform when required after monthly checks or whenever surface finish
is inconsistent.
Brake Pulsation
BRAKE PULSATION
Brake pulsation is caused by brake rotor thickness variation. Brake rotor thickness variation causes
the piston in the brake caliper, when applied, to "pump" in and out of the caliper housing. The
"pumping" effect is transmitted hydraulically to the brake pedal. Brake pulsation concerns may
result from two basic conditions:
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Rotor/Disc > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Brake Rotor/Disc: > 00-05-22-002L > Mar > 09 >
Brakes- Disc Brake Warranty Service And Procedures > Page 9053
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.

Brakes- Disc Brake Warranty Service And Procedures > Page 9054
BRAKE ROTOR CLEAN-UP PROCEDURE
Clean-up the rotors on an approved, well-maintained brake lathe to guarantee smooth, flat and
parallel surfaces. Check for clean and true lathe adapters and make sure the arbor shoulder is
clean and free of debris or burrs. For more information see the "Brake Lathe Calibration Procedure"
section in this bulletin.
1. On the outboard area of the rotor, position the cutting tools one eighth of an inch into the brake
pad area of the rotor. Feed the cutting tools into the
rotor until they cut the rotor to new metal, a full 360 degrees. Zero each dial and back off a full turn.
2. Move the cutting bits to the middle of the rotor and do the same procedure. If zero is passed
during the process, reset zero. Back off a full turn.
3. Position the cutting bits one eighth of an inch inside the inboard (closest to the hub) edge of the
brake pad contact area. Do the same procedure. If
zero is passed during the process, reset zero.
4. Back off a full turn and position the cutting bits all the way inboard in preparation to refinish the
full rotor surface. Advance both tool cutters to the
zero setting plus just enough to clean up the entire rotor surface.
5. After completing the refinish, sand both sides of the rotor for approximately one minute per side
using a sanding block and 130-150 grit sandpaper
to obtain a non-directional finish.
Important Only remove the necessary amount of material from each side of the rotor and note that
equal amounts of material do not have to be removed from both sides on any brake system using a
floating caliper.
Important In many of these instances, such a minimal amount of material is removed from the rotor
that customer satisfaction is not a concern for future brake services. This procedure is intended to
"Clean-up" the rotor surface and should be conveyed to the customer as such - not as "cut",
"refinish" or "machine", which tends to be terms understood as a substantial reduction of rotor
material/life. If the brake lathe equipment being used is not capable of removing minor amounts of
material while holding tolerances, further lathe maintenance, repair, updates or equipment
replacement may be necessary.
Brake Noise
BRAKE NOISE
Some brake noise is normal and differences in loading, type of driving, or driving style can make a
difference in brake wear on the same make and model. Depending on weather conditions, driving
patterns and the local environment, brake noise may become more or less apparent. Verify all
metal-to-metal contact areas between pads, pad guides, caliper and knuckles are clean and
lubricated with a thin layer of high temperature silicone grease. Brake noise is caused by a
"slip-stick" vibration of brake components. While intermittent brake noise may be normal,
performing 3 to 4 aggressive stops may temporarily reduce or eliminate most brake squeal. If the
noise persists and is consistently occurring, a brake dampening compound may be applied to the
back of each pad. This allows parts to slide freely and not vibrate when moving relative to each
other. Use Silicone Brake Lubricant, ACDelco P/N 88862181 (Canadian P/N 88862496) or
equivalent.
The following noises are characteristics of all braking systems and are unavoidable. They may not
indicate improper operation of the brake system.
Squeak/Squeal Noise:
- Occurs with front semi-metallic brake pads at medium speeds when light to medium pressure is
applied to the brake pedal.
- Occasionally a noise may occur on rear brakes during the first few stops or with cold brakes
and/or high humidity.
Grinding Noise:
- Common to rear brakes and some front disc brakes during initial stops after the vehicle has been
parked overnight.
- Caused by corrosion on the metal surfaces during vehicle non-use. Usually disappears after a few
stops.
Groan Noise:
A groan type noise may be heard when stopping quickly or moving forward slowly from a complete
stop. This is normal. On vehicles equipped with ABS, a groan or moan type noise during hard
braking applications or loose gravel, wet or icy road conditions is a normal function of the ABS
activation.
Key Points - Frequently Asked Questions
KEY POINTS - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- Q: How do on-car lathes react to Axle Float? Does the play affect the machining of the rotor,
either surface finish or LRO?
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Rotor/Disc > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Brake Rotor/Disc: > 00-05-22-002L > Mar > 09 >
Brakes- Disc Brake Warranty Service And Procedures > Page 9055
A: Because the Pro-Cut on-car lathe adjusts in a live mode while spinning the hub/rotor, the
dynamics of a floating axle are effectively eliminated. Once the lathe is compensated, there is no
difference in the cutting/surface finish and LRO are just the same as with a non-floating axle.
- Q: Which lathe is essential for performing brake work, the bench or on-car?
A: Dealers must have a well maintained bench lathe and well maintained on-car lathe. These
lathes need to be calibrated on a monthly basis. BOTH lathes are essential to providing quality
brake service.
- Q: What is the expected tip life for an on-car lathe?
A: The geometry and composition of the Pro-Cut tips are designed for "single pass" cutting. When
using the Pro-Cut the cutting depth should be set to take all material needed to get below rust
grooves, eliminate all run-out and resurface the entire disc in a single pass. Cuts of 0.1016-0.381
mm (0.004-0.015 in) will provide the best surface finish and the optimal tip life. No "skim cut" or
"finish cut" is needed. Failure to follow this procedure will shorten tip life. The Pro-cut tips will last
between 7-12 cuts per corner. With three usable corners, a pair of tips is good for at least 21 cuts.
- Q: Why does GM recommend the use of single pass (referred to as "positive rake") bench and
on-car brake lathes?
A: GM Service and GM Brake Engineering have performed competitive evaluations on a significant
number of bench and on-car brake lathes. These tests measured critical performance
characteristics such as flatness, surface finish and the ability of the lathe to repeat accuracy over
many uses. In each test, single pass lathe designs out performed the competitors. Single pass
brake lathes are more productive requiring less time to perform the same procedure.
- Q: Is it okay to leave the caliper/pads installed while cutting rotors using an on-car lathe?
A: On-car lathes should never be used with the pads and calipers installed on the vehicle. The
debris from cutting the rotors can contaminate the brake pads/calipers which can lead to other
brake concerns and comebacks.
- Q: What information needs to be documented on the Repair Order?
A: Any claim that is submitted using the labor operations in this bulletin, must have the Original
Rotor Thickness and Refinish Rotor Thickness (if refinished) documented on the repair order. For
more information, refer to the "Repair Order Required Documentation" section of this bulletin.
All Warranty Repair Orders paid by GM, are subject to review for compliance and may be debited
where the repair does not comply with this procedure.
Brake Warranty
BRAKE WARRANTY
Brake Rotors:
- Brake rotor warranty is covered under the terms of the GM New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Reference the vehicle's warranty guide for verification.
- Rotors should not be refinished or replaced during normal/routine pad replacement.
- Rotors should not be refinished or replaced and is ineffective in correcting brake squeal type
noises and/or premature lining wear out.
- Rotors should not be refinished or replaced for cosmetic corrosion. Clean up of braking surfaces
can be accomplished by 10-15 moderate stops from 56-64 km/h (35-40 mph) with cooling time
between stops.
- Rotors should not be refinished or replaced for rotor discoloration/hard spots.
- Rotors should be refinished NOT replaced for Customer Pulsation concerns. This condition is a
result of rotor thickness variation, usually caused by LRO (wear induced over time and miles) or
corrosion (Lot Rot).
- When rotor refinishing, only remove the necessary amount of material from each side of the rotor
and note that equal amounts of material do not have to be removed from both sides on any brake
system using a floating caliper.
- Rotors should be refinished for severe scoring - depth in excess of 1.5 mm (0.060 in).
Important If the scoring depth is more than 1.5 mm (0.060 in) after the rotor is refinished, it should
be replaced.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Rotor/Disc > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Brake Rotor/Disc: > 00-05-22-002L > Mar > 09 >
Brakes- Disc Brake Warranty Service And Procedures > Page 9056
- 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

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/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 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.

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: 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.
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

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).
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 (Manual) (See:
)Hydraulic Brake System Bleeding (Pressure) (See: )Hydraulic Brake System Bleeding (Two-mode
Hybrid) (See: ).
* 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

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

(Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Important Installation of an electric brake controller and the wiring connections outlined in this
bulletin are the responsibility of the dealership or customer. These repairs should never be charged
to warranty. If you have any questions, please consult with your District Service Manager.
Some customers may request to have an aftermarket trailer brake controller added to their vehicle,
OR in lieu of the factory integrated trailer brake controller (ITBC) (RPO JL1).
Installation Instructions
Starting with the new 2007 full-size utilities and pickups and 2008 HUMMER H2, there is no longer
an electric trailer brake controller pigtail harness.
To install an aftermarket trailer brake controller, use the four blunt cut wires located near the data
link connector.
The following steps should be used to complete the installation.
Important Ensure that the ringlets are not interfering with the UBEC cover.
1. Place the terminal on the larger of the two studs at the front of the electrical center and secure
with an M8 nut. This is circuit #242 to stud #2, to
power the aftermarket trailer brake controller.
Important The fuse is already present in the vehicle to power the electrical trailer brake controller
system.
2. ONLY For Vehicles Equipped with JL1 - Locate connector X126 or X115 (varies with vehicle
build; refer to SI) near the underhood fuse block.
Refer to SI Document ID# 1849049 - I/P Harness-Engine Compartment. Circuit 47 from the blunt
cut wires near the data link connector will end

at connector X126 terminal "G" or X115 terminal "B5." Obtain enough Dark Blue 12 gauge wire to
run from X126/X115 to the 7-way trailer connector at the bumper. On one end of the Dark Blue wire
attach terminal part number 15304732, located in Delphi Tray 8 and insert into X126 "G" or
terminal part number 15304720 located in Delphi Tray 19 and insert into X115 "B5." Run the Dark
Blue wire in its own conduit along the frame to the 7-way trailer connector at the bumper. Remove
circuit 47 from the 7-way trailer connector terminal "C" and tape the bare terminal and attach to the
harness. Attach terminal part number 12110853, located in Delphi Tray 4, to the other end of the
Dark Blue wire and insert it into the 7-way trailer connector terminal "C."
3. ONLY For Vehicles Equipped with JL1 - The Red/Black wire, circuit 242, must be connected to
stud #2 of the 30 Amp fuse of the underhood
fuse block. This wire is located between the left fender and the underhood fuse block.
Important This procedure will not result in any trailer brake related display messages to be set.
However, ITBC diagnostics will continue to function. If an ITBC fault is detected, a "Service Trailer
Brake System" message will be displayed on the driver information center (DIC) and an appropriate
DTC will be stored in the ITBC module. The operator will still be able to adjust gain and access the
"Trailer Gain / Output" display page in the DIC. However, the factory installed ITBC system will not
sense a trailer connection and will not provide output to the trailer.
4. Locate the trailer brake control circuits that are looped and taped to the main harness under the
instrument panel.
5. Pull the trailering wire harness down.
6. Match the vehicle harness label circuit functions to the trailer brake controller jumper harness
functions.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to combine information from bulletins 06-08-45-008D and
07-08-45-001E. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Numbers 07-08-45-001E and 06-08-45-008D
(Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Important Installation of an electric brake controller and the wiring connections outlined in this
bulletin are the responsibility of the dealership or customer. These repairs should never be charged
to warranty. If you have any questions, please consult with your District Service Manager.
Some customers may request to have an aftermarket trailer brake controller added to their vehicle,
OR in lieu of the factory integrated trailer brake controller (ITBC) (RPO JL1).
Installation Instructions
Starting with the new 2007 full-size utilities and pickups and 2008 HUMMER H2, there is no longer
an electric trailer brake controller pigtail harness.
To install an aftermarket trailer brake controller, use the four blunt cut wires located near the data
link connector.
The following steps should be used to complete the installation.
Important Ensure that the ringlets are not interfering with the UBEC cover.
1. Place the terminal on the larger of the two studs at the front of the electrical center and secure
with an M8 nut. This is circuit #242 to stud #2, to
power the aftermarket trailer brake controller.
Important The fuse is already present in the vehicle to power the electrical trailer brake controller
system.
2. ONLY For Vehicles Equipped with JL1 - Locate connector X126 or X115 (varies with vehicle
build; refer to SI) near the underhood fuse block.
Refer to SI Document ID# 1849049 - I/P Harness-Engine Compartment. Circuit 47 from the blunt
cut wires near the data link connector will end

Brake Control Module > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Accessories - Aftermarket Trailer Brake
Controller > Page 9370
at connector X126 terminal "G" or X115 terminal "B5." Obtain enough Dark Blue 12 gauge wire to
run from X126/X115 to the 7-way trailer connector at the bumper. On one end of the Dark Blue wire
attach terminal part number 15304732, located in Delphi Tray 8 and insert into X126 "G" or
terminal part number 15304720 located in Delphi Tray 19 and insert into X115 "B5." Run the Dark
Blue wire in its own conduit along the frame to the 7-way trailer connector at the bumper. Remove
circuit 47 from the 7-way trailer connector terminal "C" and tape the bare terminal and attach to the
harness. Attach terminal part number 12110853, located in Delphi Tray 4, to the other end of the
Dark Blue wire and insert it into the 7-way trailer connector terminal "C."
3. ONLY For Vehicles Equipped with JL1 - The Red/Black wire, circuit 242, must be connected to
stud #2 of the 30 Amp fuse of the underhood
fuse block. This wire is located between the left fender and the underhood fuse block.
Important This procedure will not result in any trailer brake related display messages to be set.
However, ITBC diagnostics will continue to function. If an ITBC fault is detected, a "Service Trailer
Brake System" message will be displayed on the driver information center (DIC) and an appropriate
DTC will be stored in the ITBC module. The operator will still be able to adjust gain and access the
"Trailer Gain / Output" display page in the DIC. However, the factory installed ITBC system will not
sense a trailer connection and will not provide output to the trailer.
4. Locate the trailer brake control circuits that are looped and taped to the main harness under the
instrument panel.
5. Pull the trailering wire harness down.
6. Match the vehicle harness label circuit functions to the trailer brake controller jumper harness
functions.
Important The color or wires to be joined together may not match.
- Dark Blue Wire: switched power from controller to trailer brakes
- Red with Black Stripe: fused vehicle power to electrical brake controller

refrigeration, battery charger or interior light in the trailer), complete the following steps to connect
circuit #742:
1. Locate the red/black wire, looped and taped to the chassis harness, below the brake master
cylinder. 2. Break the tape and route the wire to the front of the underhood electrical center.
Important Ensure that the ringlets are not interfering with the UBEC cover.
3. Place the terminal on the smaller of the two studs on the electrical center and secure with an M6
fastener. This is circuit #742 to stud #1 for
auxiliary power to the 7-way trailer connector.
4. ONLY for vehicles without RPO TP2 - Auxiliary Battery, install a 40 amp fuse to power the
circuit.
Important For vehicles equipped with RPO TP2 - Devices powered by this fuse will drain the

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

Each user will be required to accept the following agreement each time the KeyCode application is
used.
Key Code User Agreement
- Key codes are proprietary information belonging to General Motors Corporation and to the vehicle
owner.
- Unauthorized access to, or use of, key code information is unlawful and may subject the user to
criminal and civil penalties.
- This information should be treated as strictly confidential and should not be disclosed to anyone
unless authorized.
I will ensure that the following information is obtained prior to releasing any Key Code information:
1. Government issued picture ID (Drivers License) 2. Registration or other proof of ownership.
Registration should have normal markings from the Province that issued the registration and
possibly the
receipt for payment recorded as well.
Important
- GM takes this agreement seriously. Each user must be certain of vehicle ownership before giving
out key codes.
- When the ownership of the vehicle is in doubt, dealership personnel should not provide the
information.
Key code requests should never be received via a fax or the internet and key codes should never
be provided to anyone in this manner. A face to face contact with the owner of the vehicle is the
expected manner that dealers will use to release a key code or as otherwise stipulated in this
bulletin or other materials.
- Key codes should NEVER be sent via a fax or the internet.
- Each Dealership should create a permanent file to document all KeyCode Look Up transactions.
Requests should be filed by VIN and in each folder retain copies of the following:
- Government issued picture ID (Drivers License)
- Registration or other proof of ownership.
- Copy of the paid customer receipt which has the name of the employee who cut and sold the key
to the customer.
- Do not put yourself or your Dealership in the position of needing to "explain" a KeyCode Look Up
to either GM or law enforcement officials.
- Dealership Management has the ability to review all KeyCode Look-Up transactions.
- Dealership KeyCode documentation must be retained for two years.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for GM of Canada Dealers
How do I request a KeyCode for customer owned vehicle that is not registered?
Scrapped, salvaged or stored vehicles that do not have a current registration should still have the
ownership verified by requesting the vehicle title, current insurance policy and / or current lien
holder information from the customers financing source. If you cannot determine if the customer is
the owner of the vehicle, do not provide the key code information. In these cases, a short
description of the vehicle (scrapped, salvaged, etc.) and the dealership location should be kept on
file. Any clarifying explanation should be entered into the comments field.
How do I document a KeyCode request for a vehicle that is being repossessed?
The repossessor must document ownership of the vehicle by providing a court ordered
repossession order and lien-holder documents prior to providing key code information. Copies of
the repossessors Drivers License and a business card should be retained by the dealership for
documentation.
What do I do if the registration information is locked in the vehicle?
Every effort should be made to obtain complete information for each request. Each Dealership will
have to decide on a case by case basis if enough information is available to verify the customer's
ownership of the vehicle. Other forms of documentation include vehicle title, insurance policy, and
or current lien information from the customers financing source. Dealership Management must be
involved in any request without complete information. If you cannot determine if the customer is the
owner of the vehicle, do not provide the key code information.
Can I get a print out of the information on the screen?
It is important to note that the Key Code Look Up Search Results contain sensitive and/or
proprietary information. For this reason GM recommends against printing it. If the Search Results
must be printed, store and/or dispose of the printed copy properly to minimize the risk of improper
or illegal use.
Who in the dealership has access to the KeyCode application?
Dealership Parts Manager (or assigned management) will determine, and control, who is
authorized to access the KeyCode Look Up application. However, we anticipate that dealership
parts and service management will be the primary users of the application. The KeyCode Look Up
application automatically tracks each user activity session. Information tracked by the system
includes: User name, User ID, all other entered data and the date/time of access.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Starting System > Key > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Locks - Key Code Security Rules and Information > Page 9580
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.

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.

Diagnostic Tip > Page 9587
- Confirm that the vehicle responds with the appropriate lock and unlock function.
- If Yes , the 2-way transmitter was in mode B.
- Press and release the left side button twice within one second. The 2-way transmitter should
enter second vehicle mode.
- Use the "next available slot" method in the scan tool to program the 2-way transmitter to the
2-way RCDLR. Refer to Remote Control Door Lock Transmitter Programming in SI.
- Both vehicle modes of the 2-way transmitter should now be coded to the vehicle.
If No:
The 2-way transmitter is not exhibiting the failure mode addressed by this bulletin. Refer to normal
diagnostic procedures.

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.

Testing for a Short to Voltage
Special Tools
EL 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Tools and Equipment).
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Set the Digital Multimeter (DMM) to the V (DC) position. 4. Connect the positive lead of the
DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good
ground. 6. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 7. If the voltage measured is greater
than 1 V, there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9677
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.

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
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

(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: 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.

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
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9682
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9683
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9684
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

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9685
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.

Connector Position Assurance Locks
Connector Position Assurance Locks
The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of
the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in
all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate
apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating
terminals of the connector.

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.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9702
* In some cases Bosch will actually be printed on the connector. If Bosch does not appear on the
connector, look for the Bosch logo. The Bosch logo is a circle with a blunted arrow inside. This logo
can appear anywhere on the connector and is often very small.
* In some cases Delphi will actually be printed on the connector. If Delphi is not printed on the
connector, look for PED. In both cases there is no specific orientation for Delphi or PED and they
can appear anywhere on the connector.

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

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

back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. See the release tool cross reference in the
Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
10. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the
wire out of the front of the connector instead of
pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.

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

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

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

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.
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.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9787
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 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.

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9788
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

repair 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

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

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.

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9795
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9796
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 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

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

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

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.

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.

Special Tools
EL 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Tools and Equipment).
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Set the Digital Multimeter (DMM) to the V (DC) position. 4. Connect the positive lead of the
DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good
ground. 6. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 7. If the voltage measured is greater
than 1 V, there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 10008
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.

Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector.
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
Note: When probing female 0.64 terminals, it is important to use the correct adapter. There have
been some revisions to the test adapter for 0.64 terminals. The proper adapter for 0.64 terminals is
the J-35616-64B which has a gold terminal and a black wire between the base and tip. Failure to
use the proper test adapter may result in damage to the terminal being tested and improper
diagnosis.
Note: The proper adapter for probing the terminals for fuses, relays, or diodes in an electrical
center is J-35616-35. Using any other tool or adapter may damage the terminal being tested.
Refer to the following table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for front probing
connectors:
Backprobe
Note:
* Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
* Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire

(dock and lock) connector.
* Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
* After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.
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: Tools and Equipment).
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a Digital Multimeter (DMM)
1. Set the DMM to the Ohms position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from
the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Select the MIN MAX function on the DMM. 5.
Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of
the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance, the circuit has
good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
Note: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to
ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity.

Testing for Electrical Intermittents
Testing for Electrical Intermittents
Special Tools
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

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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 10014
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 10015
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
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 10016
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.

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.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 10033
* In some cases Bosch will actually be printed on the connector. If Bosch does not appear on the
connector, look for the Bosch logo. The Bosch logo is a circle with a blunted arrow inside. This logo
can appear anywhere on the connector and is often very small.
* In some cases Delphi will actually be printed on the connector. If Delphi is not printed on the
connector, look for PED. In both cases there is no specific orientation for Delphi or PED and they
can appear anywhere on the connector.

* Most Molex connectors will have the Molex logo on the dresscover of the connector. In some
cases the connectors may have MX followed by another letter. The third letter indicates where the
connector was made. A connector with MXD is a Molex connector made in Detroit.
Sumitomo has a unique symbol on their connector and possibly a part number. The symbol is
similar to that of a diamond lying on its side, similar to that shown. The logo could appear anywhere
but the most common place is at the wire side of the housing.
* Tyco/AMP has many different and unique connector designs. Some may or may not have
identifiable marks on them.

Repair Procedure
Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals.
The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping.
In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed.
The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool
has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped.
The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same
time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair
Micro 64 terminals.
Note: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long
enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough,
splice a small length of the same gauge wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on
the added wire.
1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation
from the wire.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 10045
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely
visible.
4. Insert terminal into the appropriate terminal holder until it hits bottom and stops. The correct
terminal holder is determined by the wire size. Also
ensure that the terminals wings are pointing towards the former on the tool and the release locator.
5. Insert the stripped cable into the terminal. Insulation should be visible on both sides of the
terminal insulation wings. 6. Compress the handles until the ratchet automatically releases. 7.

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

back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. See the release tool cross reference in the
Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
10. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the
wire out of the front of the connector instead of
pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.

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

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

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

Note: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

* 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.
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 10118
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 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.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 10119
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

repair 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

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

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.

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.

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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 10130
2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splice is made.
3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the instructions for Splicing Copper Wire
Using Splice Sleeves (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves). Staggering the splices by
65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended.
Note: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact
with the drain wire.
4. Re-assemble the cable.
* Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. If the mylar tape is damaged, use 3M product
AL-36FR to replace the damaged mylar tape.
* Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1).
* Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire.
* Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with electrical tape to replace the outer
insulation.
5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape.

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

* 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.

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

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
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 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. Carefully remove paint and primer
from the area surrounding the rivet stud flange until bare metal is visible.
Caution: Use GM approved replacement fasteners with conductive finish for electrical ground
repair.
5. Select a replacement conductive M6 rivet stud. Refer to GM parts catalog for the correct part

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.

Condition
Some customers may comment that the driver or passenger heated seat system exhibits the
following symptoms:
- Heated seat turns on and then turns off within 1 to 10 minutes (at any 60 second interval).
- The system doesn't get warm enough, or gets warm very slowly.
- The heated seat system is completely inoperative.
Upon further review, DTCs B2430 0D and/or B2180 0D may be set as a current or history code if
the vehicle is equipped with heated seats only (RPO KA1). Also, the LED indicator for the heated
seats may come On and then flash after approximately 1 minute, then go out.
If the vehicle is equipped with heated and cooled seats (KB6), the switch LED indicator may stay
On, but the heated and cooled seat is inoperative. The fan will continue to blow air.
Cause
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
The heated seat control circuit terminal and/or ground terminal in harness connector X1 to the
memory seat module (MSM) may have lost tension and is loose. The reduced terminal tension
increases resistance in the connector, which may result in the symptoms described above.
Heated and Cooled Seats (RPO KB6)
The thermo-electric device (TED) in the seat cushion/seat back ventilation heating and cooling
module may have become inoperative.
Correction
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
Follow the steps below to correct the concern with the heated seats.
Note
This repair requires a unique anti-abrasion electrical tape and harness clip from Kent Automotive.
Refer to the Parts Information below.
1. Access and remove the seat bolts/nuts. 2. Adjust the seat rearward about halfway. Adjust the
seat recline full forward. 3. Tilt the seat backward to access the bottom of the seat. Prop the seat

This service update includes vehicles in dealer inventory and customer vehicles that return to the
dealership for any reason. It will expire at the end of the involved vehicle's New Vehicle Limited
Warranty period.
Purpose
This bulletin provides a service procedure to inspect the connection of the chassis-to-engine wire
harness connection. If the chassis 12-way connector is not fully seated, connected and latched to
the mating engine harness connector, it could create an electrical issue that would be difficult for
technicians to diagnose.
This service procedure should be completed as soon as possible on involved vehicles currently in
dealer inventory and customer vehicles that return to the dealer for any type of service during the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty coverage period.
Vehicles Involved
A list of involved vehicles currently in dealer inventory is available on the "Service Update Bulletin
Information" link under the "Service" tab in GM GlobalConnect (US) or attached to the
GlobalConnect message (Canada) used to release this bulletin. Customer vehicles that return for
service, for any reason, and are still covered under the vehicle's base warranty, and are within the
VIN breakpoints provided below, should be checked for vehicle eligibility in the appropriate system
listed below.
Important Dealers are to confirm vehicle eligibility prior to beginning repairs by using GMVIS
(dealers using WINS) or the Investigate Vehicle History link (dealers using GWM). Not all vehicles
within the above breakpoints may be involved.
Parts Information
No parts are required for this update.

Attention:
This bulletin DOES NOT apply to vehicles equipped with High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the part number for the recommended splice
sleeve. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 10-08-42-001A (Section 08 - Body and
Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the low beam headlamp is inoperative.
Correction
DO NOT replace the entire headlamp assembly for this condition.
Replace the bulb and inspect the connector following the procedure below.
1. Remove the headlamp bulb. Refer to Headlamp Bulb Replacement procedure in SI. 2. Inspect
the connector.
- If the connector is NOT discolored or damaged, replace the bulb only. For bulb part numbers, see
Headlamp Bulb (Low Beam) in Group 02.727 of the appropriate Parts Catalog.
- If the connector is discolored at the bulb interface, replace the connector (service pigtail listed
below) and bulb.
Important Use only Duraseal splice sleeves (salmon, P/N 19168446). Other splice sleeves may not
protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection. Refer to Splicing Copper
Wire Using Splice Sleeves in SI for splicing procedures.
1. Cut the wires of the connector approximately 45 mm (13/4 in) from the connector and splice in
the service pigtail connector. Ensure that
the splices are not above the connector when re-installing.
2. Replace the bulb.
3. Verify that the headlamp is fully functional.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the RPOs. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 10-08-50-008A (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the driver or passenger heated seat system exhibits the
following symptoms:
- Heated seat turns on and then turns off within 1 to 10 minutes (at any 60 second interval).
- The system doesn't get warm enough, or gets warm very slowly.
- The heated seat system is completely inoperative.
Upon further review, DTCs B2430 0D and/or B2180 0D may be set as a current or history code if
the vehicle is equipped with heated seats only (RPO KA1). Also, the LED indicator for the heated
seats may come On and then flash after approximately 1 minute, then go out.
If the vehicle is equipped with heated and cooled seats (KB6), the switch LED indicator may stay
On, but the heated and cooled seat is inoperative. The fan will continue to blow air.
Cause
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
The heated seat control circuit terminal and/or ground terminal in harness connector X1 to the
memory seat module (MSM) may have lost tension and is loose. The reduced terminal tension
increases resistance in the connector, which may result in the symptoms described above.
Heated and Cooled Seats (RPO KB6)
The thermo-electric device (TED) in the seat cushion/seat back ventilation heating and cooling
module may have become inoperative.
Correction
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
Follow the steps below to correct the concern with the heated seats.
Note

Condition
Some customers may comment that the driver or passenger heated seat system exhibits the
following symptoms:
- Heated seat turns on and then turns off within 1 to 10 minutes (at any 60 second interval).
- The system doesn't get warm enough, or gets warm very slowly.
- The heated seat system is completely inoperative.
Upon further review, DTCs B2430 0D and/or B2180 0D may be set as a current or history code if
the vehicle is equipped with heated seats only (RPO KA1). Also, the LED indicator for the heated
seats may come On and then flash after approximately 1 minute, then go out.
If the vehicle is equipped with heated and cooled seats (KB6), the switch LED indicator may stay
On, but the heated and cooled seat is inoperative. The fan will continue to blow air.
Cause
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
The heated seat control circuit terminal and/or ground terminal in harness connector X1 to the
memory seat module (MSM) may have lost tension and is loose. The reduced terminal tension
increases resistance in the connector, which may result in the symptoms described above.
Heated and Cooled Seats (RPO KB6)
The thermo-electric device (TED) in the seat cushion/seat back ventilation heating and cooling
module may have become inoperative.
Correction

Electrical Ground Repair Overview
Proper electrical system function relies on secure, stable and corrosion-free electrical ground
connections. Loose, stripped, or corroded connections increase the possibility of improper system
function and loss of module communication. These conditions may also lead to unnecessary
repairs and component replacement.
In general, electrical ground connections are accomplished using one, or a combination of the
following attachment methods:
- Welded M6 stud and nut
- Welded M6 nut and bolt
- Welded M8 nut and bolt
Determine which attachment method is used and perform the appropriate or alternative repair as
described in this bulletin.

Electrical Ground Repair Overview
Proper electrical system function relies on secure, stable and corrosion-free electrical ground
connections. Loose, stripped, or corroded connections increase the possibility of improper system
function and loss of module communication. These conditions may also lead to unnecessary
repairs and component replacement.
In general, electrical ground connections are accomplished using one, or a combination of the
following attachment methods:
- Welded M6 stud and nut
- Welded M6 nut and bolt
- Welded M8 nut and bolt
Determine which attachment method is used and perform the appropriate or alternative repair as
described in this bulletin.

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.

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.

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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11101
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.

Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector.
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
Note: When probing female 0.64 terminals, it is important to use the correct adapter. There have
been some revisions to the test adapter for 0.64 terminals. The proper adapter for 0.64 terminals is
the J-35616-64B which has a gold terminal and a black wire between the base and tip. Failure to
use the proper test adapter may result in damage to the terminal being tested and improper
diagnosis.
Note: The proper adapter for probing the terminals for fuses, relays, or diodes in an electrical
center is J-35616-35. Using any other tool or adapter may damage the terminal being tested.
Refer to the following table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for front probing
connectors:
Backprobe
Note:
* Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
* Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire

(dock and lock) connector.
* Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
* After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.
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: Tools and Equipment).
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a Digital Multimeter (DMM)
1. Set the DMM to the Ohms position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from
the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Select the MIN MAX function on the DMM. 5.
Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of
the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance, the circuit has
good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
Note: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to
ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity.

Testing for Electrical Intermittents
Testing for Electrical Intermittents
Special Tools
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
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

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.

Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11107
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

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
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11109
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.

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.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11126
* In some cases Bosch will actually be printed on the connector. If Bosch does not appear on the
connector, look for the Bosch logo. The Bosch logo is a circle with a blunted arrow inside. This logo
can appear anywhere on the connector and is often very small.
* In some cases Delphi will actually be printed on the connector. If Delphi is not printed on the
connector, look for PED. In both cases there is no specific orientation for Delphi or PED and they
can appear anywhere on the connector.

* Most Molex connectors will have the Molex logo on the dresscover of the connector. In some
cases the connectors may have MX followed by another letter. The third letter indicates where the
connector was made. A connector with MXD is a Molex connector made in Detroit.
Sumitomo has a unique symbol on their connector and possibly a part number. The symbol is
similar to that of a diamond lying on its side, similar to that shown. The logo could appear anywhere
but the most common place is at the wire side of the housing.
* Tyco/AMP has many different and unique connector designs. Some may or may not have
identifiable marks on them.

Terminal Removal
If the terminal is visibly damaged or is suspected of having a faulty connection, the terminal should
be replaced.
Follow the steps below in order to repair pull-to-seat connectors:
1. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) device and/or the secondary lock. 2.
Disconnect the connector from the component or separate the connectors for in-line connectors. 3.
Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device. 4. Insert the proper pick or removal tool into
the front of the connector body.
Note: On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to
remove the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large enough
service loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal.
5. Grasp the wire at the back of the connector body and gently push the terminal out the front of the
connector body.
Terminal Repair
1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the
same size wire through the back of the connector
cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not
cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 4. Solder the
crimp with rosin core solder.
Terminal Installation
1. Align the terminal and pull the wire from the back of the connector in order to seat the terminal.
2. If necessary, cut the new wire to proper length and splice with existing circuit. Refer to Splicing
Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves (See: Testing
and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves).
3. If the connector is outside of the passenger compartment, apply dielectric grease to the
connector. 4. Install the TPA, CPA, and/or the secondary locks.

Repair Procedure
Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals.
The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping.
In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed.
The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool
has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped.
The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same
time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair
Micro 64 terminals.
Note: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long
enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough,
splice a small length of the same gauge wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on
the added wire.
1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation
from the wire.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11138
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely
visible.
4. Insert terminal into the appropriate terminal holder until it hits bottom and stops. The correct
terminal holder is determined by the wire size. Also
ensure that the terminals wings are pointing towards the former on the tool and the release locator.
5. Insert the stripped cable into the terminal. Insulation should be visible on both sides of the
terminal insulation wings. 6. Compress the handles until the ratchet automatically releases. 7.
Place the terminal into the appropriate cavity and assemble the connector.

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

1. Disconnect the connector from the component.
2. Locate the nose piece locking tabs that are positioned on the side of the connector nose piece.
The connector nose piece acts as a terminal positive
assurance (TPA) and may be referred to as such.
3. Use a small flat-blade tool to push in one of the locking tabs while gently pulling on the same
side of the nose piece. 4. Repeat the procedure for the other locking tab and remove the nose
piece. 5. Remove the wire dress cover. The following is a general procedure for wire dress cover
removal. Use this procedure as a guide, some dress cover
removal procedures may vary.

remove the cover.
9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the
back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. See the release tool cross reference in the
Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
10. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the
wire out of the front of the connector instead of
pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.

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

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

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

* 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.
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 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.

Caution: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference
being obstructed.
If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen
sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to

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

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

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.

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

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

Terminated Lead Repair
Terminated Lead Repair
Special Tools
* J-38125-8 - Splice Sleeve Crimp Tool
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11227
* 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.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11228
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the J-38125-5 - ultra torch , apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

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.

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.

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.

Testing for a Short to Voltage
Special Tools
EL 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Tools and Equipment).
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Set the Digital Multimeter (DMM) to the V (DC) position. 4. Connect the positive lead of the
DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good
ground. 6. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 7. If the voltage measured is greater
than 1 V, there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11432
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.

Probing Electrical Connectors
Probing Electrical Connectors
Note: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position
assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals.
Front probe
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11434
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
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

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

Testing for Electrical Intermittents
Testing for Electrical Intermittents
Special Tools
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
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11437
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.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11438
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11439
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
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11440
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

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.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11457
* In some cases Bosch will actually be printed on the connector. If Bosch does not appear on the
connector, look for the Bosch logo. The Bosch logo is a circle with a blunted arrow inside. This logo
can appear anywhere on the connector and is often very small.
* In some cases Delphi will actually be printed on the connector. If Delphi is not printed on the
connector, look for PED. In both cases there is no specific orientation for Delphi or PED and they
can appear anywhere on the connector.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11460
* Most Molex connectors will have the Molex logo on the dresscover of the connector. In some
cases the connectors may have MX followed by another letter. The third letter indicates where the
connector was made. A connector with MXD is a Molex connector made in Detroit.
Sumitomo has a unique symbol on their connector and possibly a part number. The symbol is
similar to that of a diamond lying on its side, similar to that shown. The logo could appear anywhere
but the most common place is at the wire side of the housing.
* Tyco/AMP has many different and unique connector designs. Some may or may not have
identifiable marks on them.

Repair Procedure
Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals.
The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping.
In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed.
The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool
has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped.
The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same
time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair
Micro 64 terminals.
Note: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long
enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough,
splice a small length of the same gauge wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on
the added wire.
1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation
from the wire.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11469
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely
visible.
4. Insert terminal into the appropriate terminal holder until it hits bottom and stops. The correct
terminal holder is determined by the wire size. Also
ensure that the terminals wings are pointing towards the former on the tool and the release locator.
5. Insert the stripped cable into the terminal. Insulation should be visible on both sides of the
terminal insulation wings. 6. Compress the handles until the ratchet automatically releases. 7.
Place the terminal into the appropriate cavity and assemble the connector.

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

1. Disconnect the connector from the component.
2. Locate the nose piece locking tabs that are positioned on the side of the connector nose piece.
The connector nose piece acts as a terminal positive
assurance (TPA) and may be referred to as such.
3. Use a small flat-blade tool to push in one of the locking tabs while gently pulling on the same
side of the nose piece. 4. Repeat the procedure for the other locking tab and remove the nose
piece. 5. Remove the wire dress cover. The following is a general procedure for wire dress cover
removal. Use this procedure as a guide, some dress cover
removal procedures may vary.

8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat
procedure for the other side of the dress cover and
remove the cover.
9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the
back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. See the release tool cross reference in the
Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
10. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the
wire out of the front of the connector instead of
pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11474
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long
enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough,
splice a small length of the same gauge wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on
the added wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.

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

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

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

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.
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11542
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 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.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11543
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

repair 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 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.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11546
8. 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.
9. Insert the wire into the DuraSeal splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop.
10. 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.
11. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 12. Gradually move the heat
barrel to the open end of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11547
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).

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.

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.

package should include a DuraSeal splice sleeve. If not, use the chart to identify the correct part. 3.
Open the harness by removing any tape:
Use a sewing seam ripper, or a comparable tool, to cut open the harness, to avoid wire insulation
damage.
4. Depending on how many terminals need repairs, cut the terminal and wire back at least 40 mm.
Try to keep the harness wire length the same.
If more than one terminated lead is required, stagger the lengths by 40 mm. This helps reduce the
bundle size of the wire harness.
5. Use the EL-38125-10 - tool in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the splice sleeve crimp tool. The crimp tool
has four nests, one for each color.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.

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

This service update includes vehicles in dealer inventory and customer vehicles that return to the
dealership for any reason. It will expire at the end of the involved vehicle's New Vehicle Limited
Warranty period.
Purpose
This bulletin provides a service procedure to inspect the connection of the chassis-to-engine wire
harness connection. If the chassis 12-way connector is not fully seated, connected and latched to
the mating engine harness connector, it could create an electrical issue that would be difficult for
technicians to diagnose.
This service procedure should be completed as soon as possible on involved vehicles currently in
dealer inventory and customer vehicles that return to the dealer for any type of service during the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty coverage period.
Vehicles Involved
A list of involved vehicles currently in dealer inventory is available on the "Service Update Bulletin
Information" link under the "Service" tab in GM GlobalConnect (US) or attached to the
GlobalConnect message (Canada) used to release this bulletin. Customer vehicles that return for
service, for any reason, and are still covered under the vehicle's base warranty, and are within the
VIN breakpoints provided below, should be checked for vehicle eligibility in the appropriate system
listed below.
Important Dealers are to confirm vehicle eligibility prior to beginning repairs by using GMVIS
(dealers using WINS) or the Investigate Vehicle History link (dealers using GWM). Not all vehicles
within the above breakpoints may be involved.
Parts Information
No parts are required for this update.

Condition
Some customers may comment that the driver or passenger heated seat system exhibits the
following symptoms:
- Heated seat turns on and then turns off within 1 to 10 minutes (at any 60 second interval).
- The system doesn't get warm enough, or gets warm very slowly.
- The heated seat system is completely inoperative.
Upon further review, DTCs B2430 0D and/or B2180 0D may be set as a current or history code if
the vehicle is equipped with heated seats only (RPO KA1). Also, the LED indicator for the heated
seats may come On and then flash after approximately 1 minute, then go out.
If the vehicle is equipped with heated and cooled seats (KB6), the switch LED indicator may stay
On, but the heated and cooled seat is inoperative. The fan will continue to blow air.
Cause
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
The heated seat control circuit terminal and/or ground terminal in harness connector X1 to the
memory seat module (MSM) may have lost tension and is loose. The reduced terminal tension
increases resistance in the connector, which may result in the symptoms described above.
Heated and Cooled Seats (RPO KB6)
The thermo-electric device (TED) in the seat cushion/seat back ventilation heating and cooling
module may have become inoperative.
Correction
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)

Electrical Ground Repair Overview
Proper electrical system function relies on secure, stable and corrosion-free electrical ground
connections. Loose, stripped, or corroded connections increase the possibility of improper system
function and loss of module communication. These conditions may also lead to unnecessary
repairs and component replacement.
In general, electrical ground connections are accomplished using one, or a combination of the
following attachment methods:
- Welded M6 stud and nut
- Welded M6 nut and bolt
- Welded M8 nut and bolt
Determine which attachment method is used and perform the appropriate or alternative repair as
described in this bulletin.

Electrical Ground Repair Overview
Proper electrical system function relies on secure, stable and corrosion-free electrical ground
connections. Loose, stripped, or corroded connections increase the possibility of improper system
function and loss of module communication. These conditions may also lead to unnecessary
repairs and component replacement.
In general, electrical ground connections are accomplished using one, or a combination of the
following attachment methods:
- Welded M6 stud and nut
- Welded M6 nut and bolt
- Welded M8 nut and bolt
Determine which attachment method is used and perform the appropriate or alternative repair as
described in this bulletin.

Bulletin No.: 05-03-07-009C
Date: December 09, 2010
Subject: Wheel Alignment Specifications, Requirements and Recommendations for GM Vehicles
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks
Supercede: This bulletin is being extensively revised to provide technicians and warranty
administrators with an all inclusive guide for wheel alignments. PLEASE FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF
WITH THESE UPDATES BEFORE PERFORMING YOUR NEXT GM WHEEL ALIGNMENT
SERVICE. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 05-03-07-009B (Section 03 - Suspension).
Purpose
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide retail, wholesale and fleet personnel with General Motors'
warranty service requirements and recommendations for customer concerns related to wheel
alignment. For your convenience, this bulletin updates and centralizes all of GM's Standard Wheel
Alignment Service Procedures, Policy Guidelines and bulletins on wheel alignment warranty
service.
Important PLEASE FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THESE UPDATES BEFORE PERFORMING
YOUR NEXT GM WHEEL ALIGNMENT SERVICE.
The following five (5) key steps are a summary of this bulletin and are REQUIRED in completing a
successful wheel alignment service.
1. Verify the vehicle is in an Original Equipment condition for curb weight, tires, wheels, suspension
and steering configurations. Vehicles
modified in any of these areas are not covered for wheel alignment warranty.
2. Review the customer concern relative to "Normal Operation" definitions. 3. Verify that vehicle is
within the "Mileage Policy" range. 4. Document wheel alignment warranty claims appropriately for
labor operations E2000 and E2020.
The following information must be documented or attached to the repair order:
- Customer concern in detail
- What corrected the customer concern?
- If a wheel alignment is performed:
- Consult SI for proper specifications.
- Document the "Before" AND "After" wheel alignment measurements/settings.
- Completed "Wheel Alignment Repair Order Questionnaire" (form attached to this bulletin)
5. Use the proper wheel alignment equipment (preferred with print-out capability), process and the
appropriate calibration maintenance schedules.
Important If it is determined that a wheel alignment is necessary under warranty, use the proper
labor code for the repair. E2000 for Steering Wheel Angle and/or Front Toe set or E2020 for Wheel
Alignment Check/Adjust includes Caster, Camber and Toe set (Wheel alignment labor time for
other component repairs is to be charged to the component that causes a wheel alignment
operation.).
The following flowchart is to help summarize the information detailed in this bulletin and should be
used whenever a wheel alignment is performed.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Steering/Suspension - Wheel Alignment Specifications > Page 12476
Verify Original Equipment Condition of the Vehicle
- Verify that Original Equipment Tires and Wheels or Official GM Accessory Tires and Wheels are
on the vehicle.
- Verify that aftermarket suspension "Lift" or "Lowering" Kits or other suspension alterations have
NOT been done to the vehicle.
- Check for accidental damage to the vehicle; for example, severe pothole or curb impacts, collision
damage that may have affected the wheel alignment of the vehicle; e.g., engine cradles,
suspension control arms, axles, wheels, wheel covers, tires may show evidence of damage/impact.
- Check to be sure vehicle has seen "Normal Use" rather than abuse; e.g., very aggressive driving
may show up by looking at the tires and condition of the vehicle.
- Check for other additional equipment items that may significantly affect vehicle mass such as
large tool boxes, campers, snow plow packages (without the snowplow RPO), etc., especially in
trucks and cutaway/incomplete vehicles. Significant additional mass can affect trim height and
wheel alignment of the vehicle and may necessitate a customer pay wheel alignment when placed
semi-permanently in the vehicle (Upfitter instructions are to realign the vehicle after placement of
these types of items. (This typically applies to trucks and incomplete vehicles that can be upfit with
equipment such as the above.)
Customer Concerns, "Normal Operation" Conditions and "Mileage Policy"
Possible Concerns
The following are typical conditions that may require wheel alignment warranty service:
1. Lead/Pull: defined as "at a constant highway speed on a typical straight road, the amount of
effort required at the steering wheel to maintain the
vehicle's straight heading."
Important Please evaluate for the condition with hands-on the steering wheel. Follow the "Vehicle
Leads/Pulls" diagnostic tree located in SI to determine the cause of a lead/pull concern. Lead/Pull
concerns can be due to road crown or road slope, tires, wheel alignment or even in rare
circumstances a steering gear issue. Lead/pull concerns due to road crown are considered
"Normal Operation" and are NOT a warrantable condition -- the customer should be advised that
this is "Normal Operation."
Important Some customers may comment on a "Lead/Pull" when they hold the steering wheel in a
level condition. If so, this is more likely a "steering wheel angle" concern because the customer is
"steering" the vehicle to obtain a "level" steering wheel.
2. Steering wheel angle to the left or right (counter-clockwise or clockwise, respectively): Defined
as the steering wheel angle (clocking)
deviation from "level" while maintaining a straight heading on a typical straight road.
3. Irregular or Premature tire wear: Slight to very slight "feathering" or "edge" wear on the
shoulders of tires is NOT considered unusual and
should even out with a tire rotation; if the customer is concerned about a "feathering" condition of
the tires, the customer could be advised to rotate the tires earlier than the next scheduled
mileage/maintenance interval (but no later than the next interval). Be sure to understand the
customer's driving habits as this will also heavily influence the tire wear performance; tire wear from
aggressive or abusive driving habits is NOT a warrantable condition.
Important Slight or mild feathering, cupping, edge or heel/toe wear of tire tread shoulders is
"normal" and can show up very early in a tire/vehicle service mileage; in fact, some new tires can
show evidence of feathering from the factory. These issues do NOT affect the overall performance
and tread life of the tire. Dealer personnel should always check the customer's maintenance
records to ensure that tire inflation pressure is being maintained to placard and that the tires are
being rotated (modified-X pattern) at the proper mileage intervals. Wheel alignments are NOT to be
performed for the types of "Normal" Tire Feathering shown in Figures 1-4 below.

Figure 3: Tire Shoulder View Example 2 - "NORMAL" Tire "Feathering" Wear
Figure 4: Detail Side View of Tire Shoulder Area - "NORMAL" Tire "Feathering" Wear
Important When a wheel alignment is deemed necessary for tire wear, be sure to document on the
repair order, in as much detail as possible, the severity and type of tire wear (e.g., severe center
wear or severe inside or outside shoulder wear) and the position of the tire on the vehicle (RF, LF,
LR, RR). Please note the customer's concern with the wear such as, noise, appearance, wear life,
etc. A field product report with pictures of the tire wear condition is recommended. Refer to
Corporate Bulletin Number 02-00-89-002J and #07-00-89-036C.
4. Other repairs that affect wheel alignment; e.g., certain component replacement such as
suspension control arm replacement, engine cradle
adjustment/replace, steering gear replacement, steering tie rod replace, suspension strut/shock,
steering knuckle, etc. may require a wheel alignment.
Important If other components or repairs are identified as affecting the wheel alignment, policy calls
for the wheel alignment labor time to be charged to the replaced/repaired component's labor
operation time rather than the wheel alignment labor operations.
Important Vibration type customer concerns are generally NOT due to wheel alignment except in
the rare cases; e.g., extreme diagonal wear across the tread. In general, wheel alignments are
NOT to be performed as an investigation/correction for vibration concerns.
"Normal Operation" Conditions
Vehicle Lead/Pull Due to Road Crown or Slope:
As part of "Normal Operation," vehicles will follow side-to-side or left to right road crown or slope.
Be sure to verify from the customer the types of roads they are driving as they may not recognize
the influence of road crown on vehicle lead/pull and steering wheel angle. If a vehicle requires
significant steering effort to prevent it from "climbing" the road crown there may be an issue to be
looked into further.
Important
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Steering/Suspension - Wheel Alignment Specifications > Page 12478
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.

Wheel Alignment Equipment and Process
Wheel alignments must be performed with a quality machine that will give accurate results when
performing checks. "External Reference" (image-based camera technology) is preferred. Please
refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-00-89-029B: General Motors Dealership Critical Equipment
Requirements and Recommendations.
Requirements:
- Computerized four wheel alignment system.
- Computer capable of printing before and after alignment reports.
- Computer capable of time and date stamp printout.
- Racking system must have jacking capability
- Racking system must be capable of level to 1.6 mm (1/16 in)
- Appropriate wheel stops and safety certification
- Built-in turn plates and slip plates
- Wheel clamps capable of attaching to 20" or larger wheels
- Racking capable of accepting any GM passenger car or light duty truck
- Operator properly trained and ASE-certified (U.S. only) in wheel alignment
Recommendations:
Racking should have front and rear jacking capability.
Equipment Maintenance and Calibration:
Alignment machines must be regularly calibrated in order to give correct information. Most
manufacturers recommend the following:
- Alignment machines with "internal reference" sensors should be checked (and calibrated, if
necessary) every six months.
- Alignment machines with "external reference" (image-based camera technology) should be
checked (and calibrated, if necessary) once a year.
- Racks must be kept level to within 1.6 mm (1/16 in).
- If any instrument that is part of the alignment machine is dropped or damaged in some way,
check the calibration immediately.
Check with the manufacturer of your specific equipment for their recommended service/calibration
schedule.
Wheel Alignment Process
When performing wheel alignment measurement and/or adjustment, the following steps should be
taken:
Preliminary Steps:
1. Verify that the vehicle has a full tank of fuel (compensate as necessary). 2. Inspect the wheels
and the tires for damage. 3. Inspect the tires for the proper inflation and irregular tire wear. 4.
Inspect the wheel bearings for excessive play. 5. Inspect all suspension and steering parts for
looseness, wear, or damage. 6. Inspect the steering wheel for excessive drag or poor return due to
stiff or rusted linkage or suspension components. 7. Inspect the vehicle trim height. 8. Compensate
for frame angle on targeted vehicles (refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications in SI).
Satisfactory vehicle operation may occur over a wide range of alignment angles. However, if the
wheel alignment angles are not within the range of specifications, adjust the wheel alignment to the
specifications. Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications in SI. Give consideration to excess loads,
such as tool boxes, sample cases, etc. Follow the wheel alignment equipment manufacturer's
instructions.
Measure/Adjust:
Important Prior to making any adjustments to wheel alignment on a vehicle, technicians must verify
that the wheel alignment specifications loaded into their wheel alignment machine are up-to-date
by comparing these to the wheel alignment specifications for the appropriate model and model year
in SI. Using incorrect and/or outdated specifications may result in unnecessary adjustments,
irregular and/or premature tire wear and repeat customer concerns
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Steering/Suspension - Wheel Alignment Specifications > Page 12480
Important When performing adjustments to vehicles requiring a 4-wheel alignment, set the rear
wheel alignment angles first in order to obtain proper front wheel alignment angles.
Perform the following steps in order to measure the front and rear alignment angles:
1. Install the alignment equipment according to the manufacturer's instructions. 2. Jounce the front
and the rear bumpers 3 times prior to checking the wheel alignment. 3. Measure the alignment
angles and record the readings.
If necessary, adjust the wheel alignment to vehicle specification and record the before and after
measurements. Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications in SI.
Important Technicians must refer to SI for the correct wheel alignment specifications. SI is the only
source of GM wheel alignment specifications that is kept up-to-date throughout the year.
Test drive vehicle to ensure proper repair.

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.

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

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

Setback applies to both the front and the rear wheels. Setback is the amount that one wheel may
be aligned behind the other wheel. Setback may be the result of a road hazard or a collision. The
first clue is a caster difference from side-to-side of more than 1 degree.

first clue is a caster difference from side-to-side of more than 1 degree.
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Description and Operation >
Caster Description > Page 12494
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.
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.
Wander Description
Wander Description
Wander is the undesired drifting or deviation of a vehicle to either side from a straight path with
hand pressure on the steering wheel. Wander is a symptom of the vehicle's sensitivity to external
disturbances, such as road crown and crosswind, and accentuated by poor on-center steering feel.
Scrub Radius Description
Scrub Radius Description
Ideally, the scrub radius is as small as possible. Normally, the SAI angle and the centerline of the
tire and the wheel intersect below the road surface, causing a positive scrub radius. With struts, the
SAI angle is much larger than the long arm/short arm type of suspension. This allows the SAI angle
to intersect the camber angle above the road surface, forming a negative scrub radius. The smaller
the scrub radius, the better the directional stability. Installing aftermarket wheels that have
additional offset will dramatically increase the scrub radius. The newly installed wheels may cause
the centerline of the tires to move further away from the spindle. This will increase the scrub radius.
A large amount of scrub radius can cause severe shimmy after hitting a bump. Four-wheel drive
vehicles with large tires use a steering damper to compensate for an increased scrub radius. Scrub
radius is not directly measurable by the conventional methods. Scrub radius is projected
geometrically by engineers during the design phase of the suspension.

Alignment: Testing and Inspection
Trim Height Inspection
Note: Before performing any of the following adjustment procedures, inspect the entire suspension
system for worn or damaged suspension components. Replace those components before any
measurements or adjustments are performed. Also check for any collision damage.
Trim Height Measurements
Trim height is a predetermined measurement relating to vehicle ride height. Incorrect trim heights
can cause the vehicle to bottom 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:
* Ensure the vehicle is on a level surface, such as an alignment rack.
* Set the tire pressures to the pressure 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).
* Ensure that the suspension is fully supporting the vehicle.
* If the vehicle is equipped with automatic level control, ensure that the system is functioning
properly.
* Check for installed after market accessories or modifications that could affect trim height
measurements:
- Tire and wheel sizes other than production
- Lifting or lowering kits
- Wheel Opening Flares
- Ground Effects
* Ensure that the passenger and rear compartments are empty, except for the spare tire.
* Check the fuel level. Add additional weight if necessary to simulate a full tank of fuel. (One U.S.
gallon of gasoline weighs approximate 6.5 lbs. One liter of gasoline weighs 0.70 kg.)
* Close all doors, lift gate/trunk and the hood.
* Remove the alignment rack floating pins.
Z Height Measurement
Note: For vehicles equipped with torsion bars, check the Z height before performing the alignment.
The Z height dimension measurement determines the proper ride height for the front end of the
vehicle. Vehicles equipped with torsion bars use adjust arms in order to adjust the Z height
dimension. Vehicles without torsion bars have no adjustment and could require replacement of
suspension components.
1. Jounce the front suspension of the vehicle by pushing the vehicle down and lifting up. 2. Allow
the vehicle to settle and take a measurement.

Note: Perform steps 3-9 for both sides of the vehicle.
3. Point A is the contact surface of the steering knuckle for the levels.
4. Set the top edge of the level on the reference surface of the steering knuckle (C) and extend the
level directly under the front end of the front
attachment bolt of the lower control arm (A).
5. While keeping the level in contact with the knuckle reference surface, adjust the level up/down
until the bubble indicates it is horizontally level. 6. Measure the distance between the center of the
bolt and the top of the level for your first measurement 7. Keep the top edge of the level on the
reference surface of the steering knuckle (C) and move the level directly under the rear end of the
rear
attachment bolt of the lower control arm (B).
8. Measure the distance between the center of the bolt and the top of the level for your second
measurement. 9. Average the measurements between the step 6 and step 8.
10. Record the 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/Tire and Wheel Runout 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/Power Steering).
* 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).

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.

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.

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.

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
4. When the left rear sensor has been learned and a double horn chirp has sounded, the learn
process is complete and the RCDLR exits the learn
mode.
5. Ignition OFF, adjust all tires to the recommended pressures. 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).
Alternate Keyless Entry Transmitter or DIC Learn Enable Method
1. Ignition ON, initiate the TPM Learn Mode using one of the following procedures:
* On vehicles equipped with keyless entry, simultaneously press the keyless entry transmitters lock
and unlock buttons until a double horn chirp sounds indicating the Learn Mode has been enabled.
The left front turn signal will also be illuminated.
* On vehicles not equipped with keyless entry, press and release the driver information center
(DIC) INFO button until the TIRE LEARN message appears on the DIC display. Press and hold the
SET/RESET button until a double horn chirp sounds indicating the Learn Mode has been enabled.
The left front turn signal will also be illuminated.
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
4. When the left rear sensor has been learned and a double horn chirp has sounded, the learn
process is complete and the RCDLR exits the learn
mode.
5. Ignition OFF, adjust all tires to the recommended pressures. 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).

Power Steering Bleeding: Service and Repair
Power Steering System Bleeding
Important: *
Use clean, new power steering fluid type only. See the Maintenance and Lubrication subsection for
fluid specifications. Refer to Fluid and Lubricant Recommendations (USA and Canada) (See:
Maintenance).
* Hoses touching the frame, body or engine may cause system noise. Verify that the hoses do not
touch any other part of the vehicle.
* Loose connections may not leak, but could allow air into the steering system. Verify that all hose
connections are tight.
Important: Power steering fluid level must be maintained throughout bleed procedure.
1. Fill pump reservoir with fluid to minimum system level, FULL COLD level, or middle of hash mark
on cap stick fluid level indicator.
Important: With hydro-boost only, the oil level will appear falsely high if the hydro-boost
accumulator is not fully charged. Do not apply the brake pedal with the engine OFF. This will
discharge the hydro-boost accumulator.
2. If equipped with hydro-boost, fully charge the hydro-boost accumulator using the following
procedure:
1. Start the engine. 2. Firmly apply the brake pedal 10-15 times. 3. Turn the engine OFF.
3. Raise the vehicle until the front wheels are off the ground. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the
Vehicle (See: Wheels and Tires/Vehicle
Lifting/Service and Repair).
4. Key on engine OFF, turn the steering wheel from stop to stop 12 times.
Vehicles equipped with hydro-boost systems or longer length power steering hoses may require
turns up to 15 to 20 stop to stops.
5. Verify power steering fluid level per operating specification. Refer to Checking and Adding Power
Steering Fluid (Without Hydroboost) (See:
Service and Repair/Checking and Adding Power Steering Fluid (Without Hydroboost))Checking
and Adding Power Steering Fluid (With Hydroboost) (See: Service and Repair/Checking and
Adding Power Steering Fluid (With Hydroboost)).
6. Start the engine. Rotate steering wheel from left to right. Check for sign of cavitation or fluid
aeration (pump noise/whining). 7. Verify the fluid level. Repeat the bleed procedure, if necessary.

Condition
Some customers may comment on a fluid leak. Upon investigation, the technician may find fluid
leaking from the power steering system. Please use the following information to assist in diagnosis.
Diagnostic Information
Important All potential leaks should be completely cleaned and identified before attempting to
repair or replace any power steering components.
1. Start diagnosis by inspecting the fluid level in the power steering reservoir. If the fluid level is
NOT low, a careful analysis of the condition is
necessary as it may involve a different type of fluid leak.
2. Visually inspect the components where the fluid has accumulated. 3. Completely clean off any
fluid residue from the suspect components. 4. Apply tracing powder to the suspect components.
This is an effective way to determine the source of a leak. As an alternative, fluorescent dye
(such as Kent Moore J 28431-6) may be added to the power steering fluid.
5. Start the vehicle and allow the power steering system to reach normal operating temperatures.
6. Turn the steering wheel to the stops in each direction while bumping the steering wheel against
the stops 3-4 times. This will build maximum
steering system pressure and help identify the source of the leak if present.
7. Determine the source of the leak. 8. If a repeatable leak is found, refer to the following tables to
determine the proper corrective action needed.
Repairable Leaks
Non- Repairable Leaks
*If fluid is observed at the adjuster plug during the initial visual inspection, then refer to the
following:
- Seepage at the adjuster plug may not necessarily indicate an active leak. Power steering fluid is
used during the manufacturing of the gear/rack. The fluid used at assembly is pushed into the
pinion area during assembly. The adjuster plug and the area below the pinion are not positively

sealed. Fluid trapped in this area during assembly may seep from the adjuster plug. The rack
should not be replaced for this condition.
- You can distinguish seepage from an active leak by removing the left tie rod boot clamp and
inspecting for the presence of fluid at the inner tie rod.
- If no fluid is found in the left tie rod boot, replace the boot clamp and clean the seepage from the
rack. No further action is needed.
- If fluid is found in the left tie rod boot, replace the gear assembly.

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.

Condition
Some customers may comment on a fluid leak. Upon investigation, the technician may find fluid
leaking from the power steering system. Please use the following information to assist in diagnosis.
Diagnostic Information
Important All potential leaks should be completely cleaned and identified before attempting to
repair or replace any power steering components.
1. Start diagnosis by inspecting the fluid level in the power steering reservoir. If the fluid level is
NOT low, a careful analysis of the condition is
necessary as it may involve a different type of fluid leak.
2. Visually inspect the components where the fluid has accumulated. 3. Completely clean off any
fluid residue from the suspect components. 4. Apply tracing powder to the suspect components.
This is an effective way to determine the source of a leak. As an alternative, fluorescent dye
(such as Kent Moore J 28431-6) may be added to the power steering fluid.
5. Start the vehicle and allow the power steering system to reach normal operating temperatures.
6. Turn the steering wheel to the stops in each direction while bumping the steering wheel against
the stops 3-4 times. This will build maximum
steering system pressure and help identify the source of the leak if present.
7. Determine the source of the leak. 8. If a repeatable leak is found, refer to the following tables to
determine the proper corrective action needed.
Repairable Leaks
Non- Repairable Leaks
*If fluid is observed at the adjuster plug during the initial visual inspection, then refer to the
following:
- Seepage at the adjuster plug may not necessarily indicate an active leak. Power steering fluid is
used during the manufacturing of the gear/rack. The fluid used at assembly is pushed into the
pinion area during assembly. The adjuster plug and the area below the pinion are not positively

sealed. Fluid trapped in this area during assembly may seep from the adjuster plug. The rack
should not be replaced for this condition.
- You can distinguish seepage from an active leak by removing the left tie rod boot clamp and
inspecting for the presence of fluid at the inner tie rod.
- If no fluid is found in the left tie rod boot, replace the boot clamp and clean the seepage from the
rack. No further action is needed.
- If fluid is found in the left tie rod boot, replace the gear assembly.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2010 model year and Inspection Procedures.
Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 05-03-08-002B (Section 03 - Suspension).
This bulletin is intended to help identify the severity of shock absorber and strut fluid seepage.
Improper diagnosis may lead to components being replaced that are within the manufacturer's
specification. Shock absorbers and strut assemblies are fluid-filled components and will normally
exhibit some seepage. Seepage is defined as oil film or dust accumulation on the exterior of the
shock housing. Shock absorbers and struts are not to be replaced under warranty for seepage.
Use the following information to determine if the condition is normal acceptable seepage or a
defective component.
Important Electronically controlled shock absorbers (MR) may have a tendency to attract dust to
this oil film. Often this film and dust can be wiped off and will not return until similar mileage is
accumulated again.
Inspection Procedure
Note
The shock absorber or strut assembly DOES NOT have to be removed from the vehicle to perform
the following inspection procedure.
Use the following descriptions and graphics to determine the serviceability of the component.

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.

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.

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.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Sensors and Switches - Wheels and Tires
> Tire Pressure Sensor > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Page 12940
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
4. When the left rear sensor has been learned and a double horn chirp has sounded, the learn
process is complete and the RCDLR exits the learn
mode.
5. Ignition OFF, adjust all tires to the recommended pressures. 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).
Alternate Keyless Entry Transmitter or DIC Learn Enable Method
1. Ignition ON, initiate the TPM Learn Mode using one of the following procedures:
* On vehicles equipped with keyless entry, simultaneously press the keyless entry transmitters lock
and unlock buttons until a double horn chirp sounds indicating the Learn Mode has been enabled.
The left front turn signal will also be illuminated.
* On vehicles not equipped with keyless entry, press and release the driver information center
(DIC) INFO button until the TIRE LEARN message appears on the DIC display. Press and hold the
SET/RESET button until a double horn chirp sounds indicating the Learn Mode has been enabled.
The left front turn signal will also be illuminated.
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
4. When the left rear sensor has been learned and a double horn chirp has sounded, the learn
process is complete and the RCDLR exits the learn
mode.
5. Ignition OFF, adjust all tires to the recommended pressures. 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).

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

up, allowing tire air pressure to increase above the threshold causing the light to go off. Properly
adjusting all tire air pressures to the recommended levels will correct this (Refer to the Tire and
Loading Information Label on the driver side door).
- More detailed information can be found in the Owner Manual.
- Service is not covered under warranty - this maintenance is the responsibility of the owner.
- Give the customer a copy of the "GM Customer TPMS Information".
For more detailed information, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 07-03-16-004C and TPMS
Training Course 13044.12T2.
Tire Pressure Light
At key on, without starting the vehicle:
Steady Solid Glowing TPM Indicator
If the TPM indicator appears as a steady glowing yellow lamp (as above), the system is functioning
properly and you should add air to the tires to correct this condition.
Blinking TPM Indicator
If the TPM indicator appears as a BLINKING yellow lamp for one minute and then stays on solid,
diagnostic service is needed.
The Effect of Outside Temperature on Tire Pressures
Important:
As a rule of thumb, tire pressure will change about 7kPa (1 psi) for every 6°C (10°F) decrease in
temperature - Tire pressure will drop when it gets colder outside, and rise when it gets warmer.
Under certain situations such as extreme outside temperature changes, the system may bring on a
solid light with a check tire pressure message. This should be considered normal and the system is
working properly. The light will turn off upon adding the proper amount of air to the tires (refer to the
Tire & Loading Information label in the driver's door opening). When properly adjusting tire air
pressure, the following steps are important to help optimize the system and prolong bringing a tire
pressure light on:
^ Use an accurate, high quality tire pressure gauge.
^ Never set the tire pressure below the specified placard value regardless of tire temperature or
ambient temperature.
^ Tire pressure should be set to the specified placard pressure at the lowest seasonal temperature
the vehicle will encounter during operation.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Tire Monitoring System > Low Tire
Pressure Indicator > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Tire Pressure Monitor - TPM System
Message/Service Tips > Page 12953
^ When adding proper tire air pressure, it is important to remember fluctuations in outside air
temperatures and tire temperatures effect tire air pressures.
^ After you have added the proper tire pressure, if the vehicle has a DIC (after the system has
updated), check to see if DIC displays are the same
readings as the tire pressure gauge used (adjust as necessary).
^ Only perform a TPM sensor re-learn after a tire rotation or system part replacements and use the
Tech 2(R) to initiate the relearn whenever possible to
avoid invalid sensor I.D. learns.
Important:
Always take outside temperature and tire temperature into consideration to properly set tire
pressures. Foe example, on colder days (20°F/-7°C), if setting tire pressure when the vehicle has
been indoors (60°F/16°C) or the tires are warm from being driven, it will be necessary to
compensate for the low outside temperature by adding 21-27 kPa (3-4 psi) more then the
placecard pressure. At some later time, when the vehicle has been parked outside for a while, the
tires will cool off and the pressures will drop back into the placecard range.
Important:
Recently, nitrogen gas (for use in inflating tires) has become available to the general customer
through some retailers. The use of nitrogen gas to inflate tires is a technology used in automobile
racing. Tires inflated with nitrogen gas may exhibit less of a pressure change in response to
outside temperature changes. Nitrogen gas inflation is compatible with GM TPM sensors. For
additional information, refer to Corporate Service Bulletin 05-03-10-020C.
Important:
All Models (Except the Pontiac Vibe): Do not perform a TPM relearn at PDI, the system has already
been set at the Assembly Plant. Do not perform a TPM relearn after adding air to the tires. The low
tire light is similar to the low fuel indicator and adding something (fuel, air) to the vehicle makes that
light turn back off again. Note that because of system behavior, some vehicles must be driven a
short distance before the sensors recognize the increase in pressure and turns the light off again.
Pontiac Vibe Only: Do not use the TPMS reset button to turn off the light. The system will update
and light will turn off when all tire pressures have been adjusted followed by short distance drive.
Important:
All models (except the Pontiac Vibe): Each tire monitor sensor is learned to a specific vehicle
corner. When performing a TPM relearn (only after a tire rotation or replacement of a TPM sensor
or Module), always use the Tech2(R) to initiate the J 46079 relearned process. Tech 2(R) - initiated
relearns lock out other vehicle TPM signals that may be broadcasting in the area. Only signals
initiated by the J 46079 tool will be accepted. This method avoids storing false TPM I.D.s and will
prevent customers from returning with dashes (--) displayed in tire pressure readouts and/or a
flashing tire pressure monitor (TPM) light. Checking the four TPM I.D.s with the Tech 2(R) prior to
and following relearn to verify they are the same can prevent invalid I.D. learns.
Pontiac Vibe Only: Tire Monitor Sensors are not learned to a specific vehicle corner. Do not
perform a TPM Reset after tire rotation. The TPMS Reset button must only be used during
pre-delivery inspection by the dealer to initialize the system (after all tire pressures have been
adjusted properly) or when a Tire Pressure Monitor System component is replaced. The J 46079
tool does not work on Vibe TPM sensors. A TPMS relearn on Vibe must be preformed with a Tech
2(R) to set the TPMS Module in learn mode. The TPMS sensor IDs are entered through the Tech
2(R). Refer to SI for further Vibe TPMS information.
Labor Operation and Repair Order/Warranty System Claim Required Documentation
Important:
The ONLY time labor operation E0726 or E0722 should be used is to diagnose for a system issue.
That should ONLY occur if, at key ON, without starting the engine, the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)
blinks for one minute and then stays on solid with a Service Tire Monitor System message (on
vehicles equipped with a DIC) If that occurs, a TPM system problem exists and the system will
have set a DTC. If one of these operastions is used, the following Repair Order and Warranty
System documentation are required:
^ Document the customer complaint on the Repair Order.
^ Document the TPMS DTC that has set on the Repair Order.
^ Enter the TPMS DTC in the Warranty System (WINS) in the Failure Code/DTC field on the claim
submission (refer to the Claims Processing Manual,
Section IV, Warranty claim Data, Page 6, Item G).
If the above information is not documented on the Repair Order and Warranty System, the claim
may be rejected. If the Warranty Parts Center (WPC) generates a request, this repair order
documentation must be sent back.

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

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.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Tire Monitoring System > Tire Pressure
Sensor > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Page 12997
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
4. When the left rear sensor has been learned and a double horn chirp has sounded, the learn
process is complete and the RCDLR exits the learn
mode.
5. Ignition OFF, adjust all tires to the recommended pressures. 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).
Alternate Keyless Entry Transmitter or DIC Learn Enable Method
1. Ignition ON, initiate the TPM Learn Mode using one of the following procedures:
* On vehicles equipped with keyless entry, simultaneously press the keyless entry transmitters lock
and unlock buttons until a double horn chirp sounds indicating the Learn Mode has been enabled.
The left front turn signal will also be illuminated.
* On vehicles not equipped with keyless entry, press and release the driver information center
(DIC) INFO button until the TIRE LEARN message appears on the DIC display. Press and hold the
SET/RESET button until a double horn chirp sounds indicating the Learn Mode has been enabled.
The left front turn signal will also be illuminated.
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
4. When the left rear sensor has been learned and a double horn chirp has sounded, the learn
process is complete and the RCDLR exits the learn
mode.
5. Ignition OFF, adjust all tires to the recommended pressures. 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).

equivalent, under the spare tire. 7. Position the center of the transmission jack under the secondary
latch release button at the center of the spare tire. Arrange the arms of the
transmission jack so they will support the tire after it has been released.
8. Raise the jack until the spare tire stops moving upward and is firmly held in place, releasing the
secondary latch. 9. Lower the tire. If the spare tire is hanging by the cable, rotate the hoist shaft
counterclockwise until the tire is low enough to remove.
4. If the secondary latch is engaged and the cable end is NOT visible, perform the following
procedure:
1. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle (See: Vehicle
Lifting/Service and Repair). 2. Place a transmission jack, or equivalent, under the spare tire. 3.

Condition
Some customers may comment on a rattle noise from the wheel or hub cap while driving. Other
customers may comment on loose wheel nut caps or caps that may not tighten on the wheel nuts.
Cause
Depending on the generation of the wheel caps, the issue may be overtorqued wheel nut caps or
may be caused by the lack of internal threads inside the wheel nut caps. The wheel nut cap (1) is
correctly threaded. The wheel nut cap (2) shows the insufficient threads.
Correction
Important The wheel nut caps are serviced separately from the center wheel hub cap for most hub
caps. Refer to the GM electronic parts catalog (EPC) for details.
Inspect each wheel nut cap and replace as necessary using the steps below.
1. Remove the wheel hub cap from the vehicle. 2. Place the front of the wheel hub cap down on a
protected clean work bench being careful not to scratch or damage the hub cap surface. 3. Inspect
all the wheel nut caps, marking any bad wheel nut caps.

Tip The bad wheel nut cap can be removed by placing a drift or punch inside the center of the nut
cap and using a hammer to tap the wheel nut cap out of the hub cap.
4. From inside the hub cap, apply direct pressure to one side of the wheel nut cap rim (1). The
wheel nut cap will tip down and pop out of the wheel
hub cap hole when enough pressure is applied. Repeat this procedure for any additional wheel nut
caps that need to be replaced.
5. Flip the hub cap over on the work bench. The emblem side should be up.
Tip A 22 mm (7/8 in) socket placed over the wheel nut cap may be used along with a hammer to
tap the new wheel nut cap back into the hub cap hole.
6. Install the new wheel nut cap into the existing hub cap hole by applying direct pressure to the
front center of the wheel nut cap. 7. Install the wheel hub cap onto the vehicle and tighten the
wheel nut caps. 8. Repeat this entire procedure for each additional hub cap.

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

Technical Service Bulletins > Customer Interest: > 00-03-10-006F > May > 10 > Wheels/Tires - Tire Radial Force Variation
(RFV) > Page 13024
of vibration is normally felt more in the "seat of the pants" than the steering wheel.
5. Next, record the Hertz (Hz) reading as displayed by the EVA onto the tire data worksheet found
at the end of this bulletin. This should be done
after a tire break-in period of at least 16 km (10 mi) at 72 km/h (45 mph) or greater, in order to
eliminate any possible tire flat-spotting. This reading confirms what the vehicle vibration frequency
is prior to vehicle service and documents the amount of improvement occurring as the result of the
various steps taken to repair. Completing the Steering Wheel Shake Worksheet below is required.
A copy of the completed worksheet must be saved with the R.O. and a copy included with any
parts returned to the Warranty Parts Center for analysis. A reading of 35 to 50 Hz typically
indicates a first order propshaft vibration. If this is the situation, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number
08-07-30-044D. Generally, a reading between 10 and 20 Hz indicates a tire/wheel vibration and if
this is the reading obtained, continue using this bulletin. If the tire 1st order vibration goes away
and stays away during this evaluation, the cause is likely tire flat-spotting. Tire flat-spotting vibration
may come and go at any speed over 72 km/h (45 mph) during the first 10 minutes of operation, if
vibration continues after 10 minutes of driving at speeds greater than 72 km/h (45 mph), tire
flat-spotting can be ruled out as the cause for vibration.
6. If flat-spotting is the cause, provide the explanation that this has occurred due to the vehicle
being parked for long periods of time and that the
nature of the tire is to take a set. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 03-03-10-007E: Information
on Tire/Wheel Characteristics (Vibration, Balance, Shake, Flat Spotting) of GM Original Equipment
Tires.
7. If the road test indicates a shake/vibration exists, check the imbalance of each tire/wheel
assembly on a known, calibrated, off-car dynamic
balancer.Make sure the mounting surface of the wheel and the surface of the balancer are
absolutely clean and free of debris. Be sure to chose the proper cone/collet for the wheel, and
always use the pilot bore for centering. Never center the wheel using the hub-cap bore since it is
not a precision machined surface. If any assembly calls for more than 1/4 ounce on either rim
flange, remove all balance weights and rebalance to as close to zero as possible. If you can see
the vibration (along with feeling it) in the steering wheel (driving straight without your hands on the
wheel), it is very likely to be a tire/wheel first order (one pulse per revolution) disturbance. First
order disturbances can be caused by imbalance as well as non-uniformities in tires, wheels or
hubs. This first order frequency is too low for a human to hear, but if the amplitude is high enough,
it can be seen.
If a vibration or shake still exists after balancing, any out of round conditions, of the wheel, and
force variation conditions of the tire, must be addressed. Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700
can address both (it is also a wheel balancer).
Tire radial force vibration (RFV) can be defined as the amount of stiffness variation the tire will
produce in one revolution under a constant load. Radial force variation is what the vehicle feels
because the load (weight) of the vehicle is always on the tires. Although free runout of tires (not
under load) is not always a good indicator of a smooth ride, it is critical that total tire/wheel
assembly runout be within specification.
Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 loads the tire, similar to on the vehicle, and measures
radial force variation of the tire/wheel assembly. Note that the wheel is affecting the tire's RFV
measurement at this point. To isolate the wheel, its runout must be measured. This can be easily
done on the Hunter, without the need to set up dial indicators. If the wheel meets the runout
specification, the tire's RFV can then be addressed.
After measuring the tire/wheel assembly under load, and the wheel alone, the machine then
calculates (predicts) the radial force variation of the tire. However, because this is a prediction that
can include mounting inaccuracies, and the load wheel is much smaller in diameter than used in
tire production, this type of service equipment should NOT be used to audit new tires. Rather, it
should be used as a service diagnostic tool to minimize radial force variation of the tire/wheel
assembly.
Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 does an excellent job of measuring wheel runout, and of
finding the low point of the wheel (for runout) and the high point of the tire (for radial force
variation). This allows the tire to be matched mounted to the wheel for lowest tire/wheel assembly
force variation.
The machine will simplify this process into easy steps. The following assembly radial force variation
numbers should be used as a guide:
When measuring RFV and match mounting tires perform the following steps.
Measuring Wheel Runout and Assembly Radial Force Variation
Important The completed worksheet at the end of this bulletin must be attached to the hard copy of
the repair order.
- Measure radial force variation and radial runout.
- If a road force/balancing machine is used, record the radial force variation (RFV) on the
worksheet at the end of this bulletin. It may be of benefit to have the lowest RFV assembly to the
front left corner. If the machine is not available and the EVA data suggests there is an issue, swap
the tire and wheel assemblies from the front to the back. Re-check on the EVA and if the problem
still exists, test another vehicle to find tires that do not exhibit the same frequency and swap those
tires onto the subject vehicle.
- If a runout/balancing machine is used, record the radial runout of the tire/wheel assemblies on the
worksheet at the end of this bulletin. If one or more of the tire/wheel assemblies are more than.040
in (1.02 mm), match mount the tire to the wheel to get below.040 in (1.02 mm). For sensitive
customers, readings of 0.030 inch (0.76 mm) or less are preferable, it may also be of benefit to
have the lowest runout assembly to the front left corner. If the machine is not available and the
EVA data suggests there is an issue, swap the tire and wheel assemblies from the front to the
back. Re-check on the EVA and if the problem still exists, test another vehicle to find tires that do
not exhibit the same frequency and swap those tires

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

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

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

6. Once the corrosion has been eliminated, you should coat the repaired area with a commercially
available tire sealant such as Patch Brand Bead
Sealant or equivalent. Commercially available bead sealants are black rubber-like coatings that will
permanently fill and seal the resurfaced bead seat. At 21°C (70°F) ambient temperature, this

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

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

Wheel Staining/Pitting/Corrosion > Page 13045
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.

Condition
Some customers may comment on a rattle noise from the wheel or hub cap while driving. Other
customers may comment on loose wheel nut caps or caps that may not tighten on the wheel nuts.
Cause
Depending on the generation of the wheel caps, the issue may be overtorqued wheel nut caps or
may be caused by the lack of internal threads inside the wheel nut caps. The wheel nut cap (1) is
correctly threaded. The wheel nut cap (2) shows the insufficient threads.
Correction
Important The wheel nut caps are serviced separately from the center wheel hub cap for most hub
caps. Refer to the GM electronic parts catalog (EPC) for details.
Inspect each wheel nut cap and replace as necessary using the steps below.
1. Remove the wheel hub cap from the vehicle. 2. Place the front of the wheel hub cap down on a
protected clean work bench being careful not to scratch or damage the hub cap surface. 3. Inspect
all the wheel nut caps, marking any bad wheel nut caps.

Tip The bad wheel nut cap can be removed by placing a drift or punch inside the center of the nut
cap and using a hammer to tap the wheel nut cap out of the hub cap.
4. From inside the hub cap, apply direct pressure to one side of the wheel nut cap rim (1). The
wheel nut cap will tip down and pop out of the wheel
hub cap hole when enough pressure is applied. Repeat this procedure for any additional wheel nut
caps that need to be replaced.
5. Flip the hub cap over on the work bench. The emblem side should be up.
Tip A 22 mm (7/8 in) socket placed over the wheel nut cap may be used along with a hammer to
tap the new wheel nut cap back into the hub cap hole.
6. Install the new wheel nut cap into the existing hub cap hole by applying direct pressure to the
front center of the wheel nut cap. 7. Install the wheel hub cap onto the vehicle and tighten the
wheel nut caps. 8. Repeat this entire procedure for each additional hub cap.

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

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

Frequency of Wheel Changes - Marketplace Driven
Just a few years ago, the increasing longevity of tires along with greater resistance to punctures
had greatly reduced the number of times wheels were removed to basically required tire rotation
intervals. Today with the booming business in accessory wheels/special application tires (such as
winter tires), consumers are having tire/wheel assemblies removed - replaced - or installed more
than ever. With this increased activity, it opens up more of a chance for error on the part of the
technician. This bulletin will review a few of the common concerns and mistakes to make yourself
aware of.
Proper Servicing Starts With the Right Tools
The following tools have been made available to assist in proper wheel and tire removal and
installation.
- J 41013 Rotor Resurfacing Kit (or equivalent)
- J 42450-A Wheel Hub Resurfacing Kit (or equivalent)
Corroded Surfaces
One area of concern is corrosion on the mating surfaces of the wheel to the hub on the vehicle.
Excessive corrosion, dirt, rust or debris built up on these surfaces can mimic a properly tightened
wheel in the service stall. Once the vehicle is driven, the debris may loosen, grind up or be washed
away from water splash. This action may result in clearance at the mating surface of the wheel and
an under-torqued condition.
Caution
Before installing a wheel, remove any buildup on the wheel mounting surface and brake drum or
brake disc mounting surface. Installing wheels with poor metal-to-metal contact at the mounting
surfaces can cause wheel nuts to loosen. This may cause a wheel to come off when the vehicle is
moving, possibly resulting in a loss of control or personal injury.
Whenever you remove the tire/wheel assemblies, you must inspect the mating surfaces. If
corrosion is found, you should remove the debris with a die grinder equipped with a fine sanding
pad, wire brush or cleaning disc. Just remove enough material to assure a clean, smooth mating
surface.
The J 41013 (or equivalent) can be used to clean the following surfaces:
- The hub mounting surface
- The brake rotor mounting surface
- The wheel mounting surface
Use the J 42450-A (or equivalent) to clean around the base of the studs and the hub.
Lubricants, Grease and Fluids
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Wheels: > 06-03-10-010A > Jun > 10 > Wheels - Changing
Procedures/Precautions > Page 13061
Some customers may use penetrating oils, grease or other lubricants on wheel studs to aid in
removal or installation. Always use a suitable cleaner/solvent to remove these lubricants prior to
installing the wheel and tire assemblies. Lubricants left on the wheel studs may cause improper
readings of wheel nut torque. Always install wheels to clean, dry wheel studs ONLY.
Notice
Lubricants left on the wheel studs or vertical mounting surfaces between the wheel and the rotor or
drum may cause the wheel to work itself loose after the vehicle is driven. Always install wheels to
clean, dry wheel studs and surfaces ONLY. Beginning with 2011 model year vehicles, put a light
coating of grease, GM P/N 1051344 (in Canada, P/N 9930370), on the inner surface of the wheel
pilot hole to prevent wheel seizure to the axle or bearing hub.
Wheel Stud and Lug Nut Damage
Always inspect the wheel studs and lug nuts for signs of damage from crossthreading or abuse.
You should never have to force wheel nuts down the stud. Lug nuts that are damaged may not
retain properly, yet give the impression of fully tightening. Always inspect and replace any
component suspected of damage.
Tip
Always start wheel nuts by hand! Be certain that all wheel nut threads have been engaged
BEFORE tightening the nut.
Important If the vehicle has directional tread tires, verify the directional arrow on the outboard side
of the tire is pointing in the direction of forward rotation.
Wheel Nut Tightening and Torque
Improper wheel nut tightening can lead to brake pulsation and rotor damage. In order to avoid
additional brake repairs, evenly tighten the wheel nuts to the proper torque specification as shown
for each vehicle in SI. Always observe the proper wheel nut tightening sequence as shown below in
order to avoid trapping the wheel on the wheel stud threads or clamping the wheel slightly off
center resulting in vibration.
The Most Important Service You Provide
While the above information is well known, and wheel removal so common, technicians run the risk
of becoming complacent on this very important

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

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

Radial Force Variation (RFV) > Page 13067
of vibration is normally felt more in the "seat of the pants" than the steering wheel.
5. Next, record the Hertz (Hz) reading as displayed by the EVA onto the tire data worksheet found
at the end of this bulletin. This should be done
after a tire break-in period of at least 16 km (10 mi) at 72 km/h (45 mph) or greater, in order to
eliminate any possible tire flat-spotting. This reading confirms what the vehicle vibration frequency
is prior to vehicle service and documents the amount of improvement occurring as the result of the
various steps taken to repair. Completing the Steering Wheel Shake Worksheet below is required.
A copy of the completed worksheet must be saved with the R.O. and a copy included with any
parts returned to the Warranty Parts Center for analysis. A reading of 35 to 50 Hz typically
indicates a first order propshaft vibration. If this is the situation, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number
08-07-30-044D. Generally, a reading between 10 and 20 Hz indicates a tire/wheel vibration and if
this is the reading obtained, continue using this bulletin. If the tire 1st order vibration goes away
and stays away during this evaluation, the cause is likely tire flat-spotting. Tire flat-spotting vibration
may come and go at any speed over 72 km/h (45 mph) during the first 10 minutes of operation, if
vibration continues after 10 minutes of driving at speeds greater than 72 km/h (45 mph), tire
flat-spotting can be ruled out as the cause for vibration.
6. If flat-spotting is the cause, provide the explanation that this has occurred due to the vehicle
being parked for long periods of time and that the
nature of the tire is to take a set. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 03-03-10-007E: Information
on Tire/Wheel Characteristics (Vibration, Balance, Shake, Flat Spotting) of GM Original Equipment
Tires.
7. If the road test indicates a shake/vibration exists, check the imbalance of each tire/wheel
assembly on a known, calibrated, off-car dynamic
balancer.Make sure the mounting surface of the wheel and the surface of the balancer are
absolutely clean and free of debris. Be sure to chose the proper cone/collet for the wheel, and
always use the pilot bore for centering. Never center the wheel using the hub-cap bore since it is
not a precision machined surface. If any assembly calls for more than 1/4 ounce on either rim
flange, remove all balance weights and rebalance to as close to zero as possible. If you can see
the vibration (along with feeling it) in the steering wheel (driving straight without your hands on the
wheel), it is very likely to be a tire/wheel first order (one pulse per revolution) disturbance. First
order disturbances can be caused by imbalance as well as non-uniformities in tires, wheels or
hubs. This first order frequency is too low for a human to hear, but if the amplitude is high enough,
it can be seen.
If a vibration or shake still exists after balancing, any out of round conditions, of the wheel, and
force variation conditions of the tire, must be addressed. Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700
can address both (it is also a wheel balancer).
Tire radial force vibration (RFV) can be defined as the amount of stiffness variation the tire will
produce in one revolution under a constant load. Radial force variation is what the vehicle feels
because the load (weight) of the vehicle is always on the tires. Although free runout of tires (not
under load) is not always a good indicator of a smooth ride, it is critical that total tire/wheel
assembly runout be within specification.
Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 loads the tire, similar to on the vehicle, and measures
radial force variation of the tire/wheel assembly. Note that the wheel is affecting the tire's RFV
measurement at this point. To isolate the wheel, its runout must be measured. This can be easily
done on the Hunter, without the need to set up dial indicators. If the wheel meets the runout
specification, the tire's RFV can then be addressed.
After measuring the tire/wheel assembly under load, and the wheel alone, the machine then
calculates (predicts) the radial force variation of the tire. However, because this is a prediction that
can include mounting inaccuracies, and the load wheel is much smaller in diameter than used in
tire production, this type of service equipment should NOT be used to audit new tires. Rather, it
should be used as a service diagnostic tool to minimize radial force variation of the tire/wheel
assembly.
Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 does an excellent job of measuring wheel runout, and of
finding the low point of the wheel (for runout) and the high point of the tire (for radial force
variation). This allows the tire to be matched mounted to the wheel for lowest tire/wheel assembly
force variation.
The machine will simplify this process into easy steps. The following assembly radial force variation
numbers should be used as a guide:
When measuring RFV and match mounting tires perform the following steps.
Measuring Wheel Runout and Assembly Radial Force Variation
Important The completed worksheet at the end of this bulletin must be attached to the hard copy of
the repair order.
- Measure radial force variation and radial runout.
- If a road force/balancing machine is used, record the radial force variation (RFV) on the
worksheet at the end of this bulletin. It may be of benefit to have the lowest RFV assembly to the
front left corner. If the machine is not available and the EVA data suggests there is an issue, swap
the tire and wheel assemblies from the front to the back. Re-check on the EVA and if the problem
still exists, test another vehicle to find tires that do not exhibit the same frequency and swap those
tires onto the subject vehicle.
- If a runout/balancing machine is used, record the radial runout of the tire/wheel assemblies on the
worksheet at the end of this bulletin. If one or more of the tire/wheel assemblies are more than.040
in (1.02 mm), match mount the tire to the wheel to get below.040 in (1.02 mm). For sensitive
customers, readings of 0.030 inch (0.76 mm) or less are preferable, it may also be of benefit to
have the lowest runout assembly to the front left corner. If the machine is not available and the
EVA data suggests there is an issue, swap the tire and wheel assemblies from the front to the
back. Re-check on the EVA and if the problem still exists, test another vehicle to find tires that do
not exhibit the same frequency and swap those tires

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

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

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

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

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

Staining/Pitting/Corrosion > Page 13087
Do not use cleaning solutions that contain hydrofluoric, oxalic and most other acids on chrome
wheels (or any wheels).
If the customer is unsure of the chemical make-up of a particular wheel cleaner, it should be
avoided.
For wheels showing signs of milky staining from acidic cleaners, refer to Customer Assistance and
Instructions below.
Warranty of Stained Chrome Wheels
Stained wheels are not warrantable. Most acid based cleaners will permanently stain chrome
wheels. Follow-up with dealers has confirmed that such cleaners were used on wheels that were
returned to the Warranty Parts Center (WPC). Any stained wheels received by the WPC will be
charged back to the dealership. To assist the customer, refer to Customer Assistance and
Instructions below.
Pitting or Spotted Appearance of Chrome Wheels Figure 2
A second type or staining or finish disturbance may result from road chemicals, such as calcium
chloride used for dust control of unpaved roads. The staining will look like small pitting (refer to
Figure 2). This staining will usually be on the leading edges of each wheel spoke, but may be
uniformly distributed. If a vehicle must be operated under such conditions, the chrome wheels
should be washed with mild soap and water and thoroughly rinsed as soon as conveniently
possible.
Important Road chemicals, such as calcium chloride used for dust control of unpaved roads, can
also stain chrome wheels. The staining will look like small pitting. This staining will usually be on
the leading edges of each wheel spoke. This is explained by the vehicle traveling in the forward
direction while being splashed by the road chemical. If a vehicle must be operated under such
conditions, the chrome wheels should be washed with mild soap and water and thoroughly rinsed
as soon as conveniently possible.
Warranty of Pitted or Spotted Chrome Wheels
Wheels returned with pitting or spotting as a result of road chemicals may be replaced one time.
Damage resulting from contact with these applied road chemicals is corrosive to the wheels finish
and may cause damage if the wheels are not kept clean.
Important Notify the customer that this is a one time replacement. Please stress to the customer
the vital importance of keeping the wheels clean if they are operating the vehicle in an area that
applies calcium chloride or other dust controlling chemicals! "GM of Canada" dealers require prior
approval by the District Manager - Customer Care and Service Process (DM-CCSP).
"Stardust" Corrosion of Chrome Wheels Figure 3
A third type of finish disturbance results from prolonged exposure to brake dust and resultant
penetration of brake dust through the chrome. As brakes are applied hot particles of brake material
are thrown off and tend to be forced through the leading edge of the wheel spoke windows by
airflow. These

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

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

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

Frequency of Wheel Changes - Marketplace Driven
Just a few years ago, the increasing longevity of tires along with greater resistance to punctures
had greatly reduced the number of times wheels were removed to basically required tire rotation
intervals. Today with the booming business in accessory wheels/special application tires (such as
winter tires), consumers are having tire/wheel assemblies removed - replaced - or installed more
than ever. With this increased activity, it opens up more of a chance for error on the part of the
technician. This bulletin will review a few of the common concerns and mistakes to make yourself
aware of.
Proper Servicing Starts With the Right Tools
The following tools have been made available to assist in proper wheel and tire removal and
installation.
- J 41013 Rotor Resurfacing Kit (or equivalent)
- J 42450-A Wheel Hub Resurfacing Kit (or equivalent)
Corroded Surfaces
One area of concern is corrosion on the mating surfaces of the wheel to the hub on the vehicle.
Excessive corrosion, dirt, rust or debris built up on these surfaces can mimic a properly tightened
wheel in the service stall. Once the vehicle is driven, the debris may loosen, grind up or be washed
away from water splash. This action may result in clearance at the mating surface of the wheel and
an under-torqued condition.
Caution
Before installing a wheel, remove any buildup on the wheel mounting surface and brake drum or
brake disc mounting surface. Installing wheels with poor metal-to-metal contact at the mounting
surfaces can cause wheel nuts to loosen. This may cause a wheel to come off when the vehicle is
moving, possibly resulting in a loss of control or personal injury.
Whenever you remove the tire/wheel assemblies, you must inspect the mating surfaces. If
corrosion is found, you should remove the debris with a die grinder equipped with a fine sanding
pad, wire brush or cleaning disc. Just remove enough material to assure a clean, smooth mating
surface.
The J 41013 (or equivalent) can be used to clean the following surfaces:
- The hub mounting surface
- The brake rotor mounting surface
- The wheel mounting surface
Use the J 42450-A (or equivalent) to clean around the base of the studs and the hub.
Lubricants, Grease and Fluids
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Wheels: > 06-03-10-010A > Jun > 10 > Wheels - Changing
Procedures/Precautions > Page 13099
Some customers may use penetrating oils, grease or other lubricants on wheel studs to aid in
removal or installation. Always use a suitable cleaner/solvent to remove these lubricants prior to
installing the wheel and tire assemblies. Lubricants left on the wheel studs may cause improper
readings of wheel nut torque. Always install wheels to clean, dry wheel studs ONLY.
Notice
Lubricants left on the wheel studs or vertical mounting surfaces between the wheel and the rotor or
drum may cause the wheel to work itself loose after the vehicle is driven. Always install wheels to
clean, dry wheel studs and surfaces ONLY. Beginning with 2011 model year vehicles, put a light
coating of grease, GM P/N 1051344 (in Canada, P/N 9930370), on the inner surface of the wheel
pilot hole to prevent wheel seizure to the axle or bearing hub.
Wheel Stud and Lug Nut Damage
Always inspect the wheel studs and lug nuts for signs of damage from crossthreading or abuse.
You should never have to force wheel nuts down the stud. Lug nuts that are damaged may not
retain properly, yet give the impression of fully tightening. Always inspect and replace any
component suspected of damage.
Tip
Always start wheel nuts by hand! Be certain that all wheel nut threads have been engaged
BEFORE tightening the nut.
Important If the vehicle has directional tread tires, verify the directional arrow on the outboard side
of the tire is pointing in the direction of forward rotation.
Wheel Nut Tightening and Torque
Improper wheel nut tightening can lead to brake pulsation and rotor damage. In order to avoid
additional brake repairs, evenly tighten the wheel nuts to the proper torque specification as shown
for each vehicle in SI. Always observe the proper wheel nut tightening sequence as shown below in
order to avoid trapping the wheel on the wheel stud threads or clamping the wheel slightly off
center resulting in vibration.
The Most Important Service You Provide
While the above information is well known, and wheel removal so common, technicians run the risk
of becoming complacent on this very important

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

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

Steel Wheel Repair Description
Caution: Do not heat wheels in an attempt to soften them for straightening or repair damage from
striking curbs, etc. Do not weld wheels. The alloy used in these wheels is heat-treated and
uncontrolled heating from welding affects the properties of the material.
Caution: The use of tubes in tubeless tires is not a recommended repair due to the fact that speed
ratings are greatly reduced.
You can repair porosity in aluminum wheels. If leaks are found in a steel wheel, replace the wheel
with a wheel of original equipment quality.

Warning
To avoid personal injury when exposed to plastic media blast, hand and/or lathe sanding dust,
primer, color coat, and clearcoat, you must work in a properly ventilated area, wearing an approved
respirator, eye protection, earplugs and protective gloves and clothing.
Evaluating Damage
Note:
* Inspect the wheel for corrosion, scrapes, gouges, etc. Damage MUST NOT be deeper than what
can be sanded or polished off.
* Inspect the wheel for cracks. If cracks are found, discard the wheel.
* ALL wheels with bent rim flanges must not be repaired or refinished.
* The re-machining and the re-clear coating of aluminum wheels is not recommended in the dealer
environment due to concerns of repair durability.
* Do not use any re-machining process that removes aluminum. This could affect the dimensions
and function of the wheel.
Aluminum Wheel Refinishing General Recommendations/Options
* Painted aluminum wheels use a primer, color coat, and clearcoat procedure. If the paint is
damaged, refinishing is possible. As with polished wheels, all original coatings must be removed
first. Media blasting is recommended. (See option number 1).
* If the clearcoat is damaged, it is possible to refinish with clearcoat only, however, the required
refinishing process cannot be performed in the dealer environment. Refer to Refinishers
Responsibility (Repair option number 2).
* Re-plating of chrome-plated aluminum wheels is not recommended.
Repair Option Number 1
Material Required/Information Resources
* The Paint Manufacturer's Color Book
* Refer to the latest GM Approved Refinish Materials Booklet (GM 4901 MD-2005) for specific
products for aluminum refinishing.
* To access the booklet, go to www.gmgoodwrench.com. Click on GM Collision Parts. Click on GM
Technical Repair Information, select Paint Shop.
* A Color Compatibility chart is also at this site defining what colors are used on what models.
Note: Chemical strippers are not recommended.
* Refer to specific Paint Manufacturers for refinish procedures and process pertaining to "Aluminum
Refinishing". The procedure requires the wheel surface to be plastic media blasted to remove old
paint or clearcoat.
General Color Selection
* If the wheels being painted were previously clearcoated aluminum, and a painted aluminum look
is desired, using Corsican Silver WAEQ9283 for a fine "aluminum-like" look, or Sparkle Silver
WA9967 for a very bright look. Body color is another option to the customer that may also be used.
* Some specific colors may be recommended on certain models.
* If painting wheels that were previously clearcoated aluminum, it is recommended that all 4 wheels
and their center caps be refinished to maintain color uniformity.
General Refinishing Procedures - Removal
1. Remove the wheels from the vehicle. The tires may remain mounted on the wheels. 2. Remove
the balance weights and mark their locations on the tire. 3. Remove excess grease, etc. from the
wheels with wax and grease remover. 4. Have the wheels plastic media blasted to remove the
clearcoat.
Note: MASK OFF ALL MOUNTING SURFACES, whenever a wheel is refinished. The mounting
surface and the wheel nut contact surfaces must not be painted or clearcoated. Coating these
surfaces could affect the wheel nut torque.
5. Clean and mask and paint the wheels.
General Refinishing Procedures - Installation
1. Unmask the wheels.

Description and Operation > Page 13105
2. Clean all wheel mounting surface of any corrosion, overspray, or dirt.
Note: When re-balancing a tire on an aluminum wheel, coated balance weights must be used in
order to reduce the chance of future cosmetic damage.
3. Install NEW coated balance weights at marked locations.
Note: Use a torque stick on an impact wrench, or a torque wrench to consistently and uniformly
fasten the wheel to the specified torque for the vehicle. The star pattern must be followed.
4. Install wheels on vehicle.
Repair Option Number 2 - Outside Companies
* Some outside companies are offering wheel refinishing services. One such company, Transwheel
Corporation (800-892-3733), provides this service with GM guidelines. Other companies may also
exist.
* Any process that re-machines or otherwise remanufactures the wheel should not be used.
* The wheel ID must be recorded and follow the wheel throughout the process to assure that the
same wheel is returned. The refinisher must permanently ID stamp the wheel and warrant the
painted/clearcoated surfaces for a minimum of one year or the remainder of the new vehicle
warranty, whichever is longer.
* Paint and/or clearcoat must not be present on the following surfaces, the nut chamfers, the wheel
mounting surfaces and the wheel pilot hole.
* A refinishers responsibility includes inspecting for cracks using the Zyglo system or the
equivalent. Any cracked wheels must not be refinished. No welding, hammering or reforming of any

Condition
Some customers may comment on a rattle noise from the wheel or hub cap while driving. Other
customers may comment on loose wheel nut caps or caps that may not tighten on the wheel nuts.
Cause
Depending on the generation of the wheel caps, the issue may be overtorqued wheel nut caps or
may be caused by the lack of internal threads inside the wheel nut caps. The wheel nut cap (1) is
correctly threaded. The wheel nut cap (2) shows the insufficient threads.
Correction
Important The wheel nut caps are serviced separately from the center wheel hub cap for most hub
caps. Refer to the GM electronic parts catalog (EPC) for details.
Inspect each wheel nut cap and replace as necessary using the steps below.
1. Remove the wheel hub cap from the vehicle. 2. Place the front of the wheel hub cap down on a

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.

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.

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.

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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Blower Motor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 13229
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.

Probing Electrical Connectors
Probing Electrical Connectors
Note: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position
assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals.
Front probe
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Blower Motor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 13231
Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector.
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
Note: When probing female 0.64 terminals, it is important to use the correct adapter. There have
been some revisions to the test adapter for 0.64 terminals. The proper adapter for 0.64 terminals is
the J-35616-64B which has a gold terminal and a black wire between the base and tip. Failure to
use the proper test adapter may result in damage to the terminal being tested and improper
diagnosis.
Note: The proper adapter for probing the terminals for fuses, relays, or diodes in an electrical
center is J-35616-35. Using any other tool or adapter may damage the terminal being tested.
Refer to the following table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for front probing
connectors:
Backprobe
Note:
* Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
* Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire

(dock and lock) connector.
* Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
* After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.
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.

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
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 13234
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.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 13235
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Blower Motor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 13236
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
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Blower Motor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 13237
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.

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.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Blower Motor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 13254
* In some cases Bosch will actually be printed on the connector. If Bosch does not appear on the
connector, look for the Bosch logo. The Bosch logo is a circle with a blunted arrow inside. This logo
can appear anywhere on the connector and is often very small.
* In some cases Delphi will actually be printed on the connector. If Delphi is not printed on the
connector, look for PED. In both cases there is no specific orientation for Delphi or PED and they
can appear anywhere on the connector.

* Most Molex connectors will have the Molex logo on the dresscover of the connector. In some
cases the connectors may have MX followed by another letter. The third letter indicates where the
connector was made. A connector with MXD is a Molex connector made in Detroit.
Sumitomo has a unique symbol on their connector and possibly a part number. The symbol is
similar to that of a diamond lying on its side, similar to that shown. The logo could appear anywhere
but the most common place is at the wire side of the housing.
* Tyco/AMP has many different and unique connector designs. Some may or may not have
identifiable marks on them.

Repair Procedure
Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals.
The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping.
In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed.
The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool
has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped.
The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same
time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair
Micro 64 terminals.
Note: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long
enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough,
splice a small length of the same gauge wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on

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

1. Disconnect the connector from the component.
2. Locate the nose piece locking tabs that are positioned on the side of the connector nose piece.
The connector nose piece acts as a terminal positive
assurance (TPA) and may be referred to as such.
3. Use a small flat-blade tool to push in one of the locking tabs while gently pulling on the same
side of the nose piece. 4. Repeat the procedure for the other locking tab and remove the nose
piece. 5. Remove the wire dress cover. The following is a general procedure for wire dress cover
removal. Use this procedure as a guide, some dress cover
removal procedures may vary.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 13270
8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat
procedure for the other side of the dress cover and
remove the cover.
9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the
back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. See the release tool cross reference in the
Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
10. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the
wire out of the front of the connector instead of
pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Blower Motor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 13271
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long
enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough,
splice a small length of the same gauge wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on
the added wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.

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

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

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

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.
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Blower Motor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 13339
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 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.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Blower Motor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 13340
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.

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 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
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Blower Motor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 13343
8. 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.
9. Insert the wire into the DuraSeal splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop.
10. 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.
11. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 12. Gradually move the heat
barrel to the open end of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 13344
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).

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.

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.

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

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 13355
* 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.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 13356
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the J-38125-5 - ultra torch , apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

Bulletin No.: 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.

Service Bulletins > Customer Interest for Evaporator Core: > 99-01-39-004C > Jun > 09 > A/C - Musty Odors Emitted From
(HVAC) System > Page 13445
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.

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 - service center 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 - service center 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 (Non-HP2) (See: Refrigerant Oil/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
- injector. For the proper quantities of oil to add to the A/C refrigerant system, refer to Refrigerant
System Specifications (Non-HP2) (See: Refrigerant Oil/Specifications).

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Failure to observe these guidelines may result in personal injury.
Scrapping Procedure
During the course of a vehicles useful life, certain situations may arise which will require the
disposal of a live and undeployed seat belt pretensioner. Do not dispose of a live and undeployed
seat belt pretensioner through normal disposal channels until the seat belt pretensioner has been
deployed. The following information covers the proper procedures for disposing of a live and
undeployed seat belt pretensioner. Do not deploy the seat belt pretensioner in the following
situations:
* After replacement of a seat belt pretensioner under warranty. The seat belt pretensioner may
need to be returned undeployed to the manufacturer.
* If the vehicle is the subject of a Product Liability report, GM1241, related to the SIR system or the
seat belt system. If the vehicle is subject to the Product Liability report, do not alter the SIR or seat
belt system in any manner.
* If the vehicle is involved in a campaign affecting the seat belt pretensioners. Follow the
instructions in the Campaign Service Bulletin for proper SIR handling procedures.
Deployment Procedures
The seat belt pretensioner can be deployed inside or outside of the vehicle. The method used
depends upon the final disposition of the vehicle. Review the following procedures in order to
determine which will work best in a given situation.
Deployment Outside Vehicle for Seat Belt Pretensioners
Deploy the seat belt pretensioners outside of the vehicle when the vehicle will be returned to
service. Situations that require deployment outside of the vehicle include the following:
* Using the SIR diagnostics, it is determined that the seat belt pretensioner is malfunctioning.
* The seat belt pretensioner pigtail, if equipped, is damaged.

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.

- A design change was made to the antenna base and antenna mast starting in October 2005. The
radio antenna base size increased from 6 mm (0.23 in) to 7 mm (0.27 in) for improved stability and
radio reception.
- There are two different design antenna masts available. The antenna masts can be distinguished
by the outer bottom of the antenna mast. The first design antenna mast (1) will have a six-sided
hex design and a 6 mm (0.23 in) inside diameter thread. The second design antenna mast (2) will
have two flats on the outer mast and a 7 mm (0.27 in) inside diameter thread.
- The second design antenna mast will have more resistance when installing due to the
interference fit of the threads in the mast as identified by the arrows in the graphic.
Note Before proceeding, verify that the mast and base stud are properly aligned.

- A wrench will be needed to install the antenna mast. When starting to thread the antenna mast
onto the base stud, interference will be felt. The interference is similar to the feeling of a cross
threaded fastener.
Important Use a protective tape or a cloth inside an adjustable wrench when installing the antenna
mast. This will help prevent damage to the painted coating on the antenna mast.
- Tighten the antenna mast.
Tighten Tighten to 6 Nm (53 lb in).

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.

System - Remote Start Transmitter Diagnostic Tip > Page 13925
- Confirm that the vehicle responds with the appropriate lock and unlock function.
- If Yes , the 2-way transmitter was in mode B.
- Press and release the left side button twice within one second. The 2-way transmitter should
enter second vehicle mode.
- Use the "next available slot" method in the scan tool to program the 2-way transmitter to the
2-way RCDLR. Refer to Remote Control Door Lock Transmitter Programming in SI.
- Both vehicle modes of the 2-way transmitter should now be coded to the vehicle.
If No:
The 2-way transmitter is not exhibiting the failure mode addressed by this bulletin. Refer to normal
diagnostic procedures.

Attention:
This bulletin should be distributed and reviewed by the Service Manager and Service Advisors. A
copy of this bulletin may be given to your customer to assist in explaining the remote keyless entry
(RKE) transmitter operation.
This bulletin provides information regarding any remote keyless entry/transmitter (key fob) that may
be inoperative intermittently or in which a particular button(s) does not work.
To prevent transmitter battery drain, the RKE transmitter will disable any button or buttons that are
depressed longer than 30 seconds. The disabled button or buttons will remain disabled until
another button that has not been disabled is pressed.
If a button or buttons on a transmitter are not functioning, or if a transmitter cannot be programmed
to a vehicle, press and release each and every button on the fob one at a time until you find one
that works then retest the other buttons. If all buttons are now working, the button(s) were disabled
and the transmitter is working as designed.
If the transmitter still fails to function properly, use the J-43241 tester and follow normal diagnostics
as shown in SI.

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.

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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Antitheft and Alarm Systems > Keyless Entry >
Keyless Entry Transmitter > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 14003
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.

Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector.
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
Note: When probing female 0.64 terminals, it is important to use the correct adapter. There have
been some revisions to the test adapter for 0.64 terminals. The proper adapter for 0.64 terminals is
the J-35616-64B which has a gold terminal and a black wire between the base and tip. Failure to
use the proper test adapter may result in damage to the terminal being tested and improper
diagnosis.
Note: The proper adapter for probing the terminals for fuses, relays, or diodes in an electrical
center is J-35616-35. Using any other tool or adapter may damage the terminal being tested.
Refer to the following table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for front probing
connectors:
Backprobe
Note:
* Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
* Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire

(dock and lock) connector.
* Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
* After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.
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.

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

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.

Keyless Entry Transmitter > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 14009
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.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Antitheft and Alarm Systems > Keyless Entry >
Keyless Entry Transmitter > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 14010
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
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Antitheft and Alarm Systems > Keyless Entry >
Keyless Entry Transmitter > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 14011
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.

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.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.

Keyless Entry Transmitter > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 14028
* In some cases Bosch will actually be printed on the connector. If Bosch does not appear on the
connector, look for the Bosch logo. The Bosch logo is a circle with a blunted arrow inside. This logo
can appear anywhere on the connector and is often very small.
* In some cases Delphi will actually be printed on the connector. If Delphi is not printed on the
connector, look for PED. In both cases there is no specific orientation for Delphi or PED and they
can appear anywhere on the connector.

* Most Molex connectors will have the Molex logo on the dresscover of the connector. In some
cases the connectors may have MX followed by another letter. The third letter indicates where the
connector was made. A connector with MXD is a Molex connector made in Detroit.
Sumitomo has a unique symbol on their connector and possibly a part number. The symbol is
similar to that of a diamond lying on its side, similar to that shown. The logo could appear anywhere
but the most common place is at the wire side of the housing.
* Tyco/AMP has many different and unique connector designs. Some may or may not have
identifiable marks on them.

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

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

back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. See the release tool cross reference in the
Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
10. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the
wire out of the front of the connector instead of
pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.

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

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

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

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

* 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.
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.

Keyless Entry Transmitter > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 14113
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 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.

Keyless Entry Transmitter > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 14114
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

repair 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

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

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

* 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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Antitheft and Alarm Systems > Keyless Entry >
Keyless Entry Transmitter > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 14125
2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splice is made.
3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the instructions for Splicing Copper Wire
Using Splice Sleeves (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves). Staggering the splices by
65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended.
Note: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact
with the drain wire.
4. Re-assemble the cable.
* Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. If the mylar tape is damaged, use 3M product
AL-36FR to replace the damaged mylar tape.
* Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1).
* Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire.
* Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with electrical tape to replace the outer
insulation.
5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape.

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

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

Keyless Entry Transmitter > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 14129
* 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.

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

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.

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

USB/Multimedia Player > Page 14232
- Aftermarket cables can wear from use. The customer may need to purchase a new USB cable.
- Verify that cable extensions are not present. The extra capacitance may cause too large a signal
drop for the iPod to communicate with the radio.
7. If the customer receives a "Device Not Supported" message on their radio with an iPod
connected (and they have a supported device), the
customer may need to download the latest firmware from the Apple website (Please visit
www.apple.com for more information).
Validated Apple Device - Both Charge/Support Digital Audio
Important None of these device lists below support video.
Important Not all iPhone functions are fully supported.
For further information on identifying iPod models, please visit http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353.
Important These devices (and additional MP3 players) may be capable of connecting to the other
USB options by internally setting the MP3 device to mass storage class (MSC) mode. In this mode,
the USB port will see the device as a flash drive. Please have the customer refer to their MP3
device manual on how to set the device to MSC. If the device is not able to be set to MSC, the

USB Radio and MP3 Functionality
The USB (Universal Serial Bus) will be a USB 2.0 port on the radio faceplate, on the IP or in the
center console. This interface will give the customer the additional functionality of iPod/MP3
command and control. Customers now have full radio control of the iPod/MP3 audio files via the
USB cable. A single USB connection allows digital audio transferring from the iPod to the radio.
The 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
their particular unit is not compatible with the system.
Troubleshooting Tips for iPod Devices

1. Check the version of the iPod/MP3 to confirm that it is supported. 2. Unplug and Re-insert the
iPod to verify the customer complaint. 3. Verify the battery charge of the iPod. A low battery
condition on the iPod may not allow it to connect to the radio. The iPod may need to be
charged before it can be controlled by the radio.
4. If the customer receives a "Device Not Supported" message on their radio or is having general
iPod/MP3 connection issues (and they have a
supported device), they may need to reset their iPod. To reset the iPod:
- For the iPod Nanos and Classic , Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it
off again. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo
appears, about 6 to 8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
- For the iPod Touch and iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until
the red slider appears, then slide the slider.
5. Have the customer check their cable for quality.
- Aftermarket cables can wear from use. The customer may need to purchase a new USB cable.
- Verify that cable extensions are not present. The extra capacitance may cause too large a signal
drop for the iPod to communicate with the radio.
6. If the customer receives a "Device Not Supported" message on their radio with an iPod
connected (and they have a supported device), the
customer may need to download the latest firmware from the Apple website (Please visit
www.apple.com for more information).

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.

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.

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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Garage Door Opener Transmitter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 14314
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.

Probing Electrical Connectors
Probing Electrical Connectors
Note: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position
assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals.
Front probe
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Garage Door Opener Transmitter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 14316
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
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

(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.

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
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 14319
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.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 14320
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Garage Door Opener Transmitter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 14321
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

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.

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.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Garage Door Opener Transmitter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 14339
* In some cases Bosch will actually be printed on the connector. If Bosch does not appear on the
connector, look for the Bosch logo. The Bosch logo is a circle with a blunted arrow inside. This logo
can appear anywhere on the connector and is often very small.
* In some cases Delphi will actually be printed on the connector. If Delphi is not printed on the
connector, look for PED. In both cases there is no specific orientation for Delphi or PED and they
can appear anywhere on the connector.

* Most Molex connectors will have the Molex logo on the dresscover of the connector. In some
cases the connectors may have MX followed by another letter. The third letter indicates where the
connector was made. A connector with MXD is a Molex connector made in Detroit.
Sumitomo has a unique symbol on their connector and possibly a part number. The symbol is
similar to that of a diamond lying on its side, similar to that shown. The logo could appear anywhere
but the most common place is at the wire side of the housing.
* Tyco/AMP has many different and unique connector designs. Some may or may not have
identifiable marks on them.

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

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Garage Door Opener Transmitter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 14351
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely
visible.
4. Insert terminal into the appropriate terminal holder until it hits bottom and stops. The correct
terminal holder is determined by the wire size. Also
ensure that the terminals wings are pointing towards the former on the tool and the release locator.
5. Insert the stripped cable into the terminal. Insulation should be visible on both sides of the
terminal insulation wings. 6. Compress the handles until the ratchet automatically releases. 7.
Place the terminal into the appropriate cavity and assemble the connector.

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

1. Disconnect the connector from the component.
2. Locate the nose piece locking tabs that are positioned on the side of the connector nose piece.
The connector nose piece acts as a terminal positive
assurance (TPA) and may be referred to as such.
3. Use a small flat-blade tool to push in one of the locking tabs while gently pulling on the same
side of the nose piece. 4. Repeat the procedure for the other locking tab and remove the nose
piece. 5. Remove the wire dress cover. The following is a general procedure for wire dress cover
removal. Use this procedure as a guide, some dress cover
removal procedures may vary.

8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat
procedure for the other side of the dress cover and
remove the cover.
9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the
back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. See the release tool cross reference in the
Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
10. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the
wire out of the front of the connector instead of
pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.

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

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

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

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

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.
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.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Garage Door Opener Transmitter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 14424
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.

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

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 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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the GDO. 2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 5
ohm between the ground circuit terminal 3 and ground.
‹› If greater than the specified value, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
3. Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 1 and ground.
‹› If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high
resistance.
Important: This step will clear any learned transmitters from the GDO. This will require
reprogramming by the customer to reestablish GDO functionality.
4. Ignition ON, hold the two outer buttons on the GDO for 30 seconds. After 20 seconds, the LEDs
will flash indicating that all learned transmitter
values have been cleared. After an additional 10 seconds, the LEDs will flash again indicating it
has entered the diagnostic mode. Place the J 41540 adjacent to the GDO and press each button of
the GDO one at a time. The tester should indicate when each button is pressed.
‹› If the tester indicates that one or more of the buttons does not respond, replace the GDO.
5. Instruct the customer to program the GDO. Refer to the vehicle owners manual. A possible
rolling code or incompatibility with the GDO receiver
will prevent programming.

Garage Door Opener Transmitter: Programming and Relearning
Garage Door Opener Programming - Universal
Important: Do not use the garage door opener (GDO) with any garage door opener that does not
have the stop and reverse safety feature. This includes any garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982.
Ensure that people and objects are clear of the garage door while performing programming
operations.
Programming the GDO for Rolling Code Receivers
Important: If the programming procedure is unsuccessful, it may be necessary to perform the
Erasing Channels procedure first.
This procedure will learn a rolling code garage door opener to the GDO transmitter. The learn
process must be completed within 30 seconds.
1. Press the two outside buttons of the GDO for one to two seconds, then immediately release
them. 2. Locate the "Learn" or "Smart" button on the garage door opener receiver (located on the
garage door opener motor-head unit). It is often found
where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit and may be a colored button.
Refer to the garage door opener operator's manual or call 1-866-572-2728 for assistance. Press
the "Learn" or "Smart" button. The garage door opener operator's manual may provide assistance
in determining when the unit is in learn mode.
3. Immediately return to the GDO transmitter in the vehicle. Press and hold the button that is to be
learned; the LED above the button will begin to
flash slowly. When the garage door moves, immediately release the button. The LED will flash
rapidly until programming is complete.
4. Press the button used during the learn operation again in order to verify that the GDO transmitter
has been programmed.
The GDO is compatible with most, but not all, types of garage door openers. If the GDO LED does
not flash rapidly after 90 seconds, there may be a compatibility conflict with the garage door
opener. Call 1-866-572-2728 to address compatibility concerns.
Programming the GDO for Fixed Code Receivers
Important: If the programming procedure is unsuccessful, it may be necessary to perform the
Erasing Channels procedure first.
This procedure will learn a fixed code garage door opener to the GDO transmitter. To determine if
the customer has a fixed code garage door opener, remove the battery cover on the customer
supplied transmitter. If a row of dip switches is present, the garage door opener is a fixed code
version. The transmitter should have anywhere from 8 to 12 switches. The garage door opener
receiver may also have a set of dip switches. If the number of switches on the receiver and the
transmitter do not match, use the receiver switches to program the GDO. Each dip switch may
have either two or three positions. The two position switch can either be ON or OFF. The three
position switch can either be ON, NEUTRAL, or OFF.
1. Write down the positions of the dip switches. The positions of the switches will be entered from
left to right into the GDO using the three buttons. 2. Press all three buttons on the GDO for three
seconds and immediately release them. The LEDs should flash slowly, indicating that the GDO is
in
programming mode.
3. Enter the positions of the dip switches one at a time. If a position of a dip switch is on, press the
left button on the GDO. If the position is neutral,
press the middle button of the GDO. If the position is off, press the right button of the GDO. Enter
all of the positions of the dip switches. The procedure must be completed in two and a half minutes.
4. After entering all of the switch positions, firmly press and release all three buttons at the same
time. The indicator lights will turn on. 5. Press and hold the button that is to be learned; the LED
above the button will begin to flash slowly. When the garage door moves, immediately
release the button. The LED will flash rapidly until programming is complete.
6. Press the button used during the learn operation again in order to verify that the GDO transmitter
has been programmed.
The GDO is compatible with most, but not all, types of garage door openers. If the GDO light does
not flash rapidly after 90 seconds, there may be a compatibility conflict with the garage door
opener. Call 1-866-572-2728 to address compatibility concerns.
Erasing Channels
To erase programmed channels, press and hold the two outside buttons until the lights on the GDO
transmitter begins to flash. Once the LEDs begin to flash, release both buttons; all learned codes
are now erased.
Individual channels cannot be erased, but can be reprogrammed using the procedures above.

During diagnosis of an OnStar(R) concern, the technician may be told that the OnStar(R) phone
number is incorrect or tied to another vehicle and/or phone of some kind. To resolve these
concerns, the Tech 2(R) with software version 22.005 (or higher), has the capability to change the
OnStar(R) phone number.
Service Procedure
1. With the Tech 2(R), build the vehicle to specifications within the Diagnostics area of the Tech
2(R). 2. For vehicles with physical-based diagnostics - under Body, go to the OnStar(R) section.
Then select the Special Functions menu.
For vehicles with functional-based diagnostics - under Body and Accessories, go to the Cellular
Communication section. Select Module Setup and then Vehicle Communication Interface Module.
3. Locate the Program Phone Number prompt and select it. The original phone number will be
displayed on the Tech 2(R) screen. 4. Contact the OnStar(R) team at the GM Technical Assistance
Center (TAC) to obtain a new phone number. 5. Highlight the digits of the phone number one at a
time and enter the new phone number using the number keys on the Tech 2(R). 6. Press the Soft
key at the base of the screen for Done once these numbers have been changed on the screen. 7.
Press the Soft key for Done again. The area code or new phone number has now been
programmed into the phone. 8. Cycle the ignition to Off and open the driver's door. 9. Press the
blue OnStar(R) button to make sure that a normal connection can be made to the OnStar(R) call
center. If applicable, make sure the
Hands-Free Calling (HFC) works properly by making a phone call.
10. If the system is working properly, fax or voicemail a case closing into the OnStar(R) team at
TAC with the results. Dealers in Canada should
submit case closing information through the GM infoNET.
Please follow this diagnostic process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited
is resolved WITHOUT completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed. If
the procedure above does not resolve the condition, you must contact TAC for further assistance.
This diagnostic approach was developed specifically for this condition and should not automatically
be used for other vehicles with similar symptoms.

Bulletin Number 06-08-44-034D (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Some customers may comment that there are unusual fan type noises coming from the navigation
radio. Additionally, the customer may comment on radio noise coming from the CD/DVD or MAP
disc mechanisms when CDs/DVDs or MAP discs are present in the CD mechanisms. Some
customers have mentioned that radio noise is present when the customer enters the vehicle or that
the noise continues after they shut the vehicle off and open the door to leave the vehicle. This
noise has been described as a fan sound or hearing a disc spinning.
Source of fan sound - It is normal for the radio fan to run when the vehicle is turned on and for up
to three minutes after the vehicle has been turned off and the driver's door has been opened or
closed.
Disc spinning sound - This is a normal operational sound. This is caused by the map disc spinning
behind the tilt screen. It is a normal operation after the RKE is used to unlock the vehicle or when
the driver's door has been opened. This noise will also be heard during vehicle operation and up to
three minutes after the vehicle has been turned off and driver's door has been opened and closed.
MAP Disc Accessing "ZIP" sound - As the Navigation Radio accesses the MAP Disc, the customer
may describe frequent "zip" type noises. This noise is caused by the CD Read Lens moving across
the disc to access needed data for proper MAP display. To determine if the source of the noise is
from accessing the MAP Disc, remove the MAP Disc to determine if the noise continues. With the
addition of the Real Time NAV Traffic Feature, the MAP CD may be accessed to a greater extent
thus resulting in additional MAP Drive noise.
Inform the customer about these noises. If the customer believes the noise is not normal, compare
the condition to a like vehicle with identical settings to determine if there is a noticeable difference.
Do not replace the radio as the described conditions are normal operating characteristics.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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).

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.

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).

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to combine information from bulletins 06-08-45-008D and
07-08-45-001E. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Numbers 07-08-45-001E and 06-08-45-008D
(Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Important Installation of an electric brake controller and the wiring connections outlined in this
bulletin are the responsibility of the dealership or customer. These repairs should never be charged
to warranty. If you have any questions, please consult with your District Service Manager.
Some customers may request to have an aftermarket trailer brake controller added to their vehicle,
OR in lieu of the factory integrated trailer brake controller (ITBC) (RPO JL1).
Installation Instructions
Starting with the new 2007 full-size utilities and pickups and 2008 HUMMER H2, there is no longer
an electric trailer brake controller pigtail harness.
To install an aftermarket trailer brake controller, use the four blunt cut wires located near the data
link connector.
The following steps should be used to complete the installation.
Important Ensure that the ringlets are not interfering with the UBEC cover.
1. Place the terminal on the larger of the two studs at the front of the electrical center and secure
with an M8 nut. This is circuit #242 to stud #2, to
power the aftermarket trailer brake controller.
Important The fuse is already present in the vehicle to power the electrical trailer brake controller
system.
2. ONLY For Vehicles Equipped with JL1 - Locate connector X126 or X115 (varies with vehicle
build; refer to SI) near the underhood fuse block.
Refer to SI Document ID# 1849049 - I/P Harness-Engine Compartment. Circuit 47 from the blunt
cut wires near the data link connector will end

at connector X126 terminal "G" or X115 terminal "B5." Obtain enough Dark Blue 12 gauge wire to
run from X126/X115 to the 7-way trailer connector at the bumper. On one end of the Dark Blue wire
attach terminal part number 15304732, located in Delphi Tray 8 and insert into X126 "G" or
terminal part number 15304720 located in Delphi Tray 19 and insert into X115 "B5." Run the Dark
Blue wire in its own conduit along the frame to the 7-way trailer connector at the bumper. Remove
circuit 47 from the 7-way trailer connector terminal "C" and tape the bare terminal and attach to the
harness. Attach terminal part number 12110853, located in Delphi Tray 4, to the other end of the
Dark Blue wire and insert it into the 7-way trailer connector terminal "C."
3. ONLY For Vehicles Equipped with JL1 - The Red/Black wire, circuit 242, must be connected to
stud #2 of the 30 Amp fuse of the underhood
fuse block. This wire is located between the left fender and the underhood fuse block.
Important This procedure will not result in any trailer brake related display messages to be set.
However, ITBC diagnostics will continue to function. If an ITBC fault is detected, a "Service Trailer
Brake System" message will be displayed on the driver information center (DIC) and an appropriate
DTC will be stored in the ITBC module. The operator will still be able to adjust gain and access the
"Trailer Gain / Output" display page in the DIC. However, the factory installed ITBC system will not
sense a trailer connection and will not provide output to the trailer.
4. Locate the trailer brake control circuits that are looped and taped to the main harness under the
instrument panel.
5. Pull the trailering wire harness down.
6. Match the vehicle harness label circuit functions to the trailer brake controller jumper harness
functions.
Important The color or wires to be joined together may not match.
- Dark Blue Wire: switched power from controller to trailer brakes
- Red with Black Stripe: fused vehicle power to electrical brake controller

Circuit #742 for Auxiliary Power at the 7-way trailer connector is no longer connected by the GM
Assembly Plant. If the customer desires auxiliary power at the trailer connector location (i.e.
refrigeration, battery charger or interior light in the trailer), complete the following steps to connect
circuit #742:
1. Locate the red/black wire, looped and taped to the chassis harness, below the brake master
cylinder. 2. Break the tape and route the wire to the front of the underhood electrical center.
Important Ensure that the ringlets are not interfering with the UBEC cover.
3. Place the terminal on the smaller of the two studs on the electrical center and secure with an M6
fastener. This is circuit #742 to stud #1 for
auxiliary power to the 7-way trailer connector.
4. ONLY for vehicles without RPO TP2 - Auxiliary Battery, install a 40 amp fuse to power the
circuit.
Important For vehicles equipped with RPO TP2 - Devices powered by this fuse will drain the
vehicle battery if left connected with the vehicle not running.

Important Installation of an electric brake controller and the wiring connections outlined in this
bulletin are the responsibility of the dealership or customer. These repairs should never be charged
to warranty. If you have any questions, please consult with your District Service Manager.
Some customers may have questions on how to connect an electric trailer brake controller or
where the brake controller pigtail harness is located.
Starting with the new 2007 full-size utilities and pickups and 2008 HUMMER H2, there is no longer
an electric trailer brake controller pigtail harness.
An aftermarket brake controller will need to be installed/connected to the blunt wires under the left
side of the IP for vehicles built without JL1 - Integrated Brake Controller (full-size utilities and
pickups). The following steps should be used to complete the installation.
1. Locate the trailer brake control circuits that are looped and taped to the main harness under the
instrument panel.
2. Pull the trailering wire harness down.

3. Match the vehicle harness label circuit functions to the trailer brake controller jumper harness
functions.
Important The color or wires to be joined together may not match.
- Dark Blue Wire: switched power from controller to trailer brakes
- Red with Black Stripe: fused vehicle power to electrical brake controller
- Light Blue with White Stripe: Brake switch input to power electric brake controller
- White: ground
- Orange: CHMSL (Center High Mounted Stop Lamp) - not required with most systems
4. After completing the under dash connections to the electric brake controller, open the hood and
locate the red wire that is taped to the harness
between the underhood electrical center and the driver side front fender.
5. Break the tape on the red/black wire and pull it toward the front of vehicle. 6. Remove the lid
from the electrical center.
Important Ensure that the ringlets are not interfering with the UBEC cover.
7. Place the terminal on the larger of the two studs at the front of the electrical center and secure
with an M8 nut. This is circuit #242 to stud #2, to
power the aftermarket trailer brake controller.
Important The fuse is already present in the vehicle to power the electrical trailer brake controller
system.

Circuit #742 for Auxiliary Power at the 7-way trailer connector is no longer connected by the GM
Assembly Plant. If the customer desires auxiliary power at the trailer connector location (i.e.
refrigeration, battery charger or interior light in the trailer), complete the following steps to connect
circuit #742:
1. Locate the red/black wire, looped and taped to the chassis harness, below the brake master
cylinder. 2. Break the tape and route the wire to the front of the underhood electrical center.
Important Ensure that the ringlets are not interfering with the UBEC cover.
3. Place the terminal on the smaller of the two studs on the electrical center and secure with an M6
fastener. This is circuit #742 to stud #1 for
auxiliary power to the 7-way trailer connector.
4. ONLY for vehicles without RPO TP2 - Auxiliary Battery, install a 40 amp fuse to power the
circuit.
Important For vehicles equipped with RPO TP2 - Devices powered by this fuse will drain the
vehicle battery if left connected with the vehicle not running.

Bulletin Number 07-08-42-006D (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
The information contained in this bulletin applies to vehicles that are to be completed by a second
stage manufacturer (upfitter) and may need to have the Body Control Module (BCM) rear turn
signal bulb outage detection capability changed. All production vehicles will be manufactured with
one of the following BCM rear turn signal bulb outage detection software options:
1. A standard production vehicle will have BCM software that checks for two bulbs functioning in
each rear turn signal bulb circuit. If one or more
bulbs are inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) turn signal
indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108 and Canada Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
2. Certain 2500 and 3500 models can be ordered with a new option (RPO 9U5) where the BCM
checks for one bulb functioning in each rear turn
signal bulb circuit. If the bulb goes inoperative, the BCM will "fast flash" the Instrument Panel
Cluster (IPC) turn signal indicator as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)
108 and Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108.
3. A vehicle built with a pickup box delete or chassis cab option (RPO ZW9) will be produced with a
BCM program that has no turn signal bulb
outage detection capability (LED compatible). The IPC turn signal indicator will flash at the same
rate no matter how many turn signal bulbs are inoperative.
In some cases, the upfitter may wish to change the turn signal bulb outage detection capability so
that the turn signals work correctly with their upfit or to meet certain requirements. This will require
contacting the Techline Customer Support Center (TCSC) to open a case and obtain a Vehicle
Configuration Index (VCI) number. Advise the TCSC consultant which turn signal bulb outage
detection capability is needed:
1. Factory standard production TWO bulb outage detection. 2. Optional (RPO 9U5) ONE bulb
outage detection. NOTE: ONLY AVAILABLE ON CERTAIN 2007-2011 MODEL 2500 AND 3500
VEHICLES.
3. NO bulb outage detection (LED compatible).
The BCM can then be reprogrammed with the correct software.

Bulletin Number 08-07-30-020D (Section 07 - Transmission).
The following diagnostic information will aid the technician if the MIL is illuminated with DTC P1825,
P182E or P1915. The DTC may be found current or as a history code in the TCM along with a no
PRNDL display and the potential for no engine crank.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data for all DTCs set. Review
the data to determine:
- Vehicle speed, commanded gear, transmission temperature, throttle position, transmission ratio,
transmission input and output speed sensor RPM when DTC set (use to attempt to duplicate
failure)
- IMS A/B/C/P and IMS state
2. Using the Tech 2(R), navigate to transmission data and scroll down to IMS. With the ignition ON
and the engine OFF, observe the IMS A/B/C/P
switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

HISTORY DTC
If all readings are normal per Step 2 above, capture and record Freeze Frame/Failure Data, clear
DTCs and attempt to duplicate the fail conditions.
1. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
"HLLL" and the IMS state of "Neutral/Drive 6",
complete the following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM or low value,
Engine Torque >30 Nm.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Determine if the shift lever can be hung-up between Neutral and Drive 6. If so, there may be
excessive drag in the system.
- Move the shift lever through each detent position, ensuring positive detent feel. If any concern is
noted, remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement. Ensure that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer. If the vehicle has been returned to the dealer with this Freeze Frame bit
codes after repairs, contact the person(s) below in Step 4.
2. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of "HHLH"
and IMS state of "Blank", complete the
following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS >0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH
- Replace the Internal Mode Switch (IMS) if the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007. If not,
continue with this bulletin.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
3. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of "HHHL"
and IMS state of "Invalid", complete the

or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and the valve body assembly. If
continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
5. Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.

Condition
Some customers may comment that a chrome outside door handle is loose or cracked in the area
of the attachment screws.
Cause
For 2007 and 2008 models, this condition may be caused by grease used on the attachment
screws during the assembly process, which can migrate into the handle screw bosses and cause
degradation. Among other contributing factors to this condition is that the initial assembly torque of
the attachment screws was too high, which may have helped initiate cracks in the screw bosses.
Correction
Important When replacing a chrome outside door handle for this condition, be sure to address the
following:
- Ensure that the attachment screws are free from grease before installing the new handle. Clean
the screws with Kent Automotive Acrysol(TM) P/N 20005, or an equivalent grease removing body
solvent.
- Torque the screws to 6 Nm (53 lb in).
Caution
Exceeding the recommended screw torque of 6 Nm (53 lb in) could result in the thread insert
pulling out of the handle base, as shown in the graphic above.
Replace the affected chrome outside door handle. Refer to Front Side Door Outside Handle
Replacement, Rear Side Door Outside Handle Replacement, or Rear Side Door Outside Handle
Replacement (Crew Cab) in SI.

Front Door Striker: Adjustments
Door Lock Striker Adjustment
To determine if striker adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
1. Make certain the door is properly aligned within the door opening before proceeding with the
striker adjustment. 2. Close the door onto the striker and 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.
3. Using a soft marker, mark around the striker for reference of the original position. Loosen the
striker. 4. Move the striker to eliminate drag on the striker and door latch and to achieve the proper
door position within the door opening. Start with the
up/down position, then position the striker to achieve proper alignment to the door opening. Set the
in/out adjustment for the proper door seal engagement making sure the door closing efforts are
correct.
Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Fastener
Caution).
5. Tighten the striker-to-body bolts to 27 Nm (20 lb ft).

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to communicate feedback received from engineering
information and add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number
09-08-64-012B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Some customers may comment about side door wind noise, water leaks or door fit concerns.
These concerns may appear to be related to the body mounted primary door opening
weatherstrips.
As a result of feedback received from engineering information, we have found that many
replacements of the primary door opening weatherstrip are for issues not related to the primary
door opening weatherstrip. The instructions below are a guide to help "root cause" the customer's
concern and obtain the proper direction for repair.
Recommendation
Note:
If the seal is properly installed, it will not cause a Windnoise. If mis-installed, the seal could create a
Windnoise that can be corrected by re-installing the seal.
If the condition is for Windnoise, please view the training courses on this subject and follow the
proper diagnostics outlined in courses 10210.01D 2010 SKH Seminar Jan Emerging Issues,.02D
(Feb),.03D (March) (3 Parts) (Emerging Issues programs available to U.S. dealers only). If the
condition is specific to an itch noise, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 06-08-64-035F to correct
that concern.
If diagnosing a water leak, please follow information supplied in Corporate Bulletin Number
09-08-57-002B.
For door fit concerns, or if the seal is loose or exhibits a poor appearance, inspect for even
retention around the door. If the seal pulls off too easily, the channel crimp may be wide/loose as
shown between the dashed lines in the graphic above.

Models:

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

Condition
Some customers may comment that a chrome outside door handle is loose or cracked in the area
of the attachment screws.
Cause
For 2007 and 2008 models, this condition may be caused by grease used on the attachment
screws during the assembly process, which can migrate into the handle screw bosses and cause
degradation. Among other contributing factors to this condition is that the initial assembly torque of
the attachment screws was too high, which may have helped initiate cracks in the screw bosses.
Correction
Important When replacing a chrome outside door handle for this condition, be sure to address the
following:
- Ensure that the attachment screws are free from grease before installing the new handle. Clean
the screws with Kent Automotive Acrysol(TM) P/N 20005, or an equivalent grease removing body
solvent.
- Torque the screws to 6 Nm (53 lb in).
Caution
Exceeding the recommended screw torque of 6 Nm (53 lb in) could result in the thread insert
pulling out of the handle base, as shown in the graphic above.
Replace the affected chrome outside door handle. Refer to Front Side Door Outside Handle
Replacement, Rear Side Door Outside Handle Replacement, or Rear Side Door Outside Handle
Replacement (Crew Cab) in SI.

Rear Door Striker: Adjustments
Door Lock Striker Adjustment
To determine if striker adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
1. Make certain the door is properly aligned within the door opening before proceeding with the
striker adjustment. 2. Close the door onto the striker and 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.
3. Using a soft marker, mark around the striker for reference of the original position. Loosen the
striker. 4. Move the striker to eliminate drag on the striker and door latch and to achieve the proper
door position within the door opening. Start with the
up/down position, then position the striker to achieve proper alignment to the door opening. Set the
in/out adjustment for the proper door seal engagement making sure the door closing efforts are
correct.
Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Fastener
Caution).
5. Tighten the striker-to-body bolts to 27 Nm (20 lb ft).

Models:
2007-2011 Chevrolet Silverado Crew Cab and Extended Cab 2007-2011 GMC Sierra Crew Cab
and Extended Cab
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the repair in the Customer Enthusiasm section
and update the Parts Information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 10-08-58-001D
(Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment on hearing excessive wind noise coming from the rear interior of
the vehicle.
Cause #1
This condition may be caused by a void in the body filler within the C-pillar.
Cause #2
This condition may be caused by the body rear panel acoustic insulator that is mounted behind the
rear seat. There is an access flap (1) in this panel that could cause excessive noise if the flap is not
fully seated/closed into the rest of the insulator material.
Also, starting in 2010, a new insulator was installed that may allow higher wind/road or other
acoustic noise that may be objectionable for some customers. Noise penetration into the cab can
be higher than a similarly equipped 2009, or earlier, model. As shown in the graphic above, note
that the service part insulator (1) is noticeably thicker than the original 2010 part (2).
Correction #1
Note
This repair is specific to 2007-2010 model years.

Important Prior to attempting a repair of the vehicle, it will be necessary to compare it to a like
vehicle in similar operating characteristics to determine if it should be considered normal operation
or a repairable condition.
1. To properly diagnose the C-pillar body filler issue, complete the following steps:
1. Close the all doors and windows of the vehicle. 2. Without starting the vehicle, turn the vehicle
ignition to the ON/RUN position. 3. Press the HVAC selector switch for Outside Air. 4. Turn the
HVAC Fan Control to Medium/High.
Note The air flow that is felt most commonly exits the lower C-pillar opening shown in the graphic
above.
5. Run your hand alongside the lower seam of the body at the base of the C-pillar and feel for air
flowing out of the bottom of the body. 6. Compare the air flow on the opposite side of the vehicle. If
one side exhibits a distinct higher amount of air flow, continue on to the next step
in this procedure to start the process of adding sealer to the C-pillar on that side. If no air flow
difference is found, skip ahead to Correction #2.
2. To access the inner C-pillar, remove the rear seat and the body lock pillar trim panel. Refer to
Body Lock Pillar Trim Replacement (Crew Cab) or
Body Lock Pillar Trim Replacement (Extended Cab) in SI.
Figure 1 - Outside View Through C-pillar
Figure 2 - Top View, Section Cut Through C-pillar
3. Inspect the inner baffle/foam within the C-pillar for any voids in the body filler. The examples
above show an opening (1) in the baffle at the
forward, inboard corner of the right side C-pillar.

4. If a void is found (1), fill it with seam sealer Kent Automotive High-Tech(TM) Clear Sealer, P/N
P10200 (5 oz. tube), or equivalent, to eliminate
the air flow escape concern.
5. Before reinstalling the trim, inspect the insulator mat that is mounted on the body rear inner
panel to ensure the access flap is fully seated/closed as
shown above.
6. Reinstall the trim panels and rear seat. Refer to Body Lock Pillar Trim Replacement (Crew Cab)
or Body Lock Pillar Trim Replacement
(Extended Cab) in SI.
Correction #2
Note
This repair is ONLY for 2010 models that have the original body rear panel insulator (pictured
above) and exhibit a higher noise penetration into the cab, when compared to a similarly equipped
2009, or earlier, model. Note that the insulator shape is flat across the bottom edge.
Tip
Before any repairs, you can visually verify which insulator the vehicle has by looking under the rear
seat on the right or left side. If you can see the body

color of the rear inner panel (shown circled above) below the insulator (1), the insulator is the
original design, which is trimmed straight across the bottom.
Order a service body rear panel insulator (pictured above), referencing the parts table below. Note
that the new insulator has an increased thickness and the height was extended on both ends.
R & R the rear seat and any necessary trim to replace the body rear panel insulator. Refer to Body
Rear Panel Insulator Replacement (Extended Cab/Crew Cab) in SI.
Further Repair for Customer Enthusiasm
Only in situations when the above repairs are completed and the customer is still commenting on
objectionable noise, the following additional steps can be done to sound-proof the body rear panel.
This additional sound-proofing should only be done in cases deemed necessary for customer
enthusiasm.
Note After this procedure has been performed, the vehicle needs to be re-assembled and
evaluated with the trim and rear seat fully installed in the vehicle. If the bulletin has been followed
properly, the noise should be reduced to a level quieter than stock 2011 models, and no further
repairs should be attempted.
It has been found that controlling the wind noise at the two pressure relief valve (PRV) locations is
the key to quieting the rear cab wind noise. The repair below has been found to be successful in
eliminating most of the objectionable noise.
1. R & R the rear seat and any necessary trim to remove the body rear panel insulator. Refer to
Body Rear Panel Insulator Replacement (Extended
Cab/Crew Cab) in SI.
Note GM P/N 12378195 is not available in Canada. However several equivalents such as
*Evercoat (Q-Pads) P/N 100116 and *Dominion Sure Seal (Sound Deadener Pads) BSDE Part
110900 are available through NAPA Auto Parts retailers. Information for finding your local retail
location can be obtained online at www.napacanada.com.
2. Install noise and vibration sound deadening pads to backside of the body rear panel insulator.
Follow the pattern shown above, ensuring they cover
the two PRV locations. Use GM P/N 12378195, or equivalents commercially available through
*Dynamat(R), Evercoat(R) or Dominion Sure Seal.
Important Ensure that the foam tape pattern does not have any gaps in the corners and that it is
securely pressed/attached to the inner rear body panel.
3. Install *Duck Brand Weatherstrip Seal (Self Adhesive Foam) P/N 1278750, or equivalent, to the
inner body rear end panel following the patterns
shown below:

Note Ensure that the cross-car adhesive foam is positioned at a height just below the insulator
push pin fastener locations so that once the fasteners are installed, the seal is compressed.
- Across the inner rear body panel, matching the width of the insulator panel.
- Downward from each end of the cross-car foam (left side (1) shown in the graphic above). The
length should match the height of the insulator panel.
- Partially around the two PRV's. Install the foam down the outboard side (1), underneath (2),
partially back up the inboard side (3), then finish with a length extending further inboard (4) from
the PRV.
Important Ensure that any C-pillar wiring harnesses/connectors are routed forward of the insulator,
and not trapped behind it.
4. Position the body rear panel insulator to the inner rear body panel and install the push pin
retainers. Caution should be taken to not disturb the
foam tape installed previously.

Lock Cylinder Binding
In many cases, applying the proper lubrication can correct the following conditions:
* Binding or sticking door lock cylinders
* Difficulty in inserting and removing the keys
For lubricating the above components, use lubricant GM P/N 12346241 or equivalent.
Do not use penetrating lubricants such as GM P/N 1052949 or WD-40(R). Penetrating lubricants
wash out the original lubrication. Penetrating lubricants eventually evaporate, leaving little or no
lubricating material. However, when using penetrating lubricants in order to thaw or in order to
loosen the lock cylinder components, refer to steps 2-4 in the procedure below for the proper
methods of lubrication.
Repair lock cylinders frozen in cold weather by using the following procedure:
1. While carefully avoiding damage to the painted surfaces, apply heat to the cylinder with a heat
gun. 2. Using a paper clip or a similar item, hold the door shutter open.
Force air into the cylinders using compressed air through a blow gun attachment.
3. While holding the shutter door open, inject small amounts of a recommended lubricant into the
cylinder. 4. Work the key into the cylinder repeatedly.
Wipe away any excess lubrication from the key.

Number 08-08-48-003E (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment on hearing a tapping, clicking or ticking noise at the windshield
area. This condition occurs more frequently while driving at highway speeds and could be
exaggerated on vehicles with front bug guard deflectors.
Cause
This condition may be caused by air/wind causing the windshield side reveal moldings to move,
generating a noise.
Correction
Remove both windshield reveal moldings, add double-sided tape and re-install the moldings
following the steps below:
1. Using tape (1) or a grease pencil, mark the position of the inboard edge (2) of both left and right
reveal moldings onto the windshield, following
the contour of the molding.
2. Remove the left and right windshield side reveal moldings. Refer to Windshield Side Reveal
Molding Replacement in SI. 3. Being careful not to affect the tape or grease pencil marks, clean
and prep the glass at the seal interface with Glass Adhesion Promoter, P/N
12378555 (in Canada, use 88901239).

4. Apply 3M Automotive Adhesion Promoter 06396, or equivalent, to the underside of the reveal
molding seals.
Tip An approximate 600 mm (24 in) length of tape should allow for overlap at the top to be trimmed
back leaving a tail of release liner (1) and, at minimum, should reach the fender cut line at the
bottom.
5. Apply a 600 mm (24 in) length of 3M Automotive Acrylic Plus Attachment Tape 06386 (1.14 mm
(0.045 in) thick x 6.35 mm (0.25 in) wide), or
equivalent, to both sides of the windshield. Ensure the tape (1) position is centered between the
windshield edge (2) and the tape/grease pencil line (3). Do not remove the release lining from the
tape yet.
6. Reinstall the reveal molding to one side by sliding the molding downward and ensuring that the
top lip is engaged at the upper edge of the
windshield.

glass.
10. Repeat steps 6-9 on the opposite side. 11. Remove tape or clean the grease pencil marks from
the windshield.

Condition
Some customers may comment on a pop or clunk type noise while turning or driving on uneven
road surfaces. This noise can be heard and/or felt at either the driver's or front passenger floor pan
area.
Cause
Under certain conditions, normal movement between the frame and the #1, #2 or #3 body mounts
may cause this noise to occur.
Diagnosis
1. If the vehicle is equipped with aftermarket (non-GM Accessory) running boards or the running
board is mounted using the body mount bolt,
remove the running boards prior to test driving the vehicle. This will eliminate the running boards as
the possible cause of the noise.
2. Install the J-39570 Chassis Ears to the frame rail at or near the body mounts. 3. Test drive the
vehicle to identify which mount is suspect.
Correction
Install an insulator at the suspect mount(s). The insulator should be installed between the upper
portion of the body mount and the frame bracket. The #1 mount is the mount located just under the
A-pillar. The #2 mount is the mount located just under the B-pillar. The #3 mount is the mount
located just under the C-pillar. Use the procedure listed below.
1. Raise the vehicle on the hoist. It is recommended to use a four-post lift or strap the vehicle frame
to the hoist arms. 2. For the left side mounts only, remove the intermediate park brake cable.
Perform the following steps:
1. Remove the nut from the park brake equalizer. 2. Remove the intermediate cable from the
equalizer. 3. Depress the retaining tabs that secure the park brake cable to the frame. 4. Pull
slightly on the cable from the mounting area in order to provide slack for body movement without
binding the cable.
3. Remove all of the body mount bolts on the side being repaired. 4. Properly support the body at
the body mount area.
Caution When you remove the body mount, do NOT separate the frame from the body more than is
necessary. Possible personal injury and damage to multiple parts may result.

The cab mounted cage nut may have bent or broken loose allowing the nut to spin. If the nut is
allowed to spin, it may prevent the bolt from loosening. The front cab mount nuts are welded to the
body structure and are not involved with this bulletin.
The cage nut assembly must be accessed from inside of the vehicle if this condition occurs. Some
of the cage nuts have rectangular access plates in the floor of the passenger compartment. These
plates are located above the affected bolt. On extended cab vehicles it is necessary to create
access holes in the rear floor area to reach the rear cage nut.
Creating Access Hole (Extended Cab Vehicles Only)

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

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.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Interior Moulding / Trim > Carpet > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Interior - Cleaning Interior Surfaces of Vehicle > Page 15339
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.

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
Equipment is available by contacting 1-800-GMTOOLS.

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.

Eliminating Unwanted Odors in Vehicles
Eliminating Unwanted Odors in Vehicles
GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator, GM P/N 88861431 (Canadian P/N 88861436), may control or
eliminate odors in the interior and luggage compartment areas of GM vehicles. This non-toxic,
biodegradable, odorless product has been shown to greatly reduce or remove the following types
of odor:
* Objectionable smells of mold and mildew resulting from vehicle water leaks
* Customer created odors, such as smoke
You may safely use GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator on fabrics, vinyl, leather, carpet, and sound
deadening materials. You may also induce this product into HVAC modules and instrument panel
ducts for the control of non-bacterial related odors.
Important: This product leaves no residual scent and should not be used as an air freshener.
This product may result in the permanent elimination of an odor and may be preferable to
customers whose allergies make them sensitive to perfumes. This product may effectively remove
odors when directly contacting the odor source. In cases such as water leaks, use this product with
diagnostic procedures to first eliminate the primary cause of the odor. Then use further applications
on the residual odor to permanently correct the vehicle condition.
How to Use this Product
* Spray GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator directly or as an additive with carpet shampoo in steam
cleaners.
* Do not use on any interior surface that plain water would deteriorate, because this product will
have the same effect. Also avoid letting this product come into contact with vinegar or any acidic
substance. Acid-based products will hamper the effectiveness of GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator.
* Complete eight page treatment sheets are enclosed within each case of GM Vehicle Care Odor
Eliminator. These treatment instructions range from simple vehicle odor elimination to full step by
step procedures for odor removal from water leaks.
* Instructions and cautions are printed on the bottle, but additional help is available.

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.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to include the 2012 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-08-110-013 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the front sunshade (sun visor) doesn't stay in position tightly
against the headliner when in the up position and clipped into the center mount.
Cause
The condition may be caused by the sunshade being over extended (forced) along the slide on rod
to the end of its travel. This over extension can cause the detent spring to be pulled off of the flat
on the slide on rod and can cause the detent function to be inoperative.
Correction
In many cases, the detent spring can be re-seated into the correct position. Use the following
procedure to correct the condition.
1. Position the sunshade in the forward position and engage the sunshade into the center clip.

Subject: Key Code Security Rules and Information on GM KeyCode Look-Up Application (Canada
Only)

Attention:
This bulletin has been created to address potential issues and questions regarding KeyCode
security. This bulletin should be read by all parties involved in KeyCode activity, including dealer
operator, partner security coordinator, sales, service and parts departments. A copy of this bulletin
should be printed and maintained in the parts department for use as a reference.
Important U.S. dealers should refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 10-00-89-009.
Where Are Key Codes Located?
General Motors provides access to KeyCodes through three sources when a vehicle is delivered to
a dealer. Vehicle KeyCodes are located on the original vehicle invoice to the dealership. There is a
small white bar coded tag sent with most new vehicles that also has the key code printed on it.
Dealerships should make a practice of comparing the tag's keycode numbers to the keycode listed
on the invoice. Any discrepancy should be reported immediately to the GM of Canada Key Code
Inquiry Desk. Remember to remove the key tag prior to showing vehicles to potential customers.
The third source for Key codes is through the GM KeyCode Look-Up feature within the
OEConnection D2DLink application. KeyCode Look-Up currently goes back 17 previous model
years from the current model year.
When a vehicle is received by the dealership, care should be taken to safeguard the original
vehicle invoice and KeyCode tag provided with the vehicle. Potential customers should not have
access to the invoice or this KeyCode tag prior to the sale being completed. After a sale has been
completed, the KeyCode information belongs to the customer and General Motors.
Tip
Only the original invoice contains key code information, a re-printed invoice does not.
GM KeyCode Look-Up Application for GM of Canada Dealers
All dealers should review the General Motors of Canada KeyCode Look-Up Policies and
Procedures (Service Policy & Procedures Manual Section 3.1.6 "Replacement of VIN plates &
keys").
Please note that the KeyCode Access site is restricted. Only authorized users should be using this
application. Please see your Parts Manager for site authorized users. KeyCode Look-Up currently
goes back 17 years from current model year.
Important notes about security:
- Users may not access the system from multiple computers simultaneously.
- Users may only request one KeyCode at a time.
- KeyCode information will only be available on the screen for 2 minutes.
- Each user is personally responsible for maintaining and protecting their password.
- Never share your password with others.
- User Id's are suspended after 6 consecutive failed attempts.
- User Id's are disabled if not used for 90 days.
- Processes must be in place for regular dealership reviews.
- The Parts Manager (or assigned management) must have processes in place for employee
termination or life change events. Upon termination individuals access must be turned off
immediately and access should be re-evaluated upon any position changes within the dealership.
- If you think your password or ID security has been breached, contact Dealer Systems Support at
1-800-265-0573.

Locks - Key Code Security Rules and Information > Page 15469
Each user will be required to accept the following agreement each time the KeyCode application is
used.
Key Code User Agreement
- Key codes are proprietary information belonging to General Motors Corporation and to the vehicle
owner.
- Unauthorized access to, or use of, key code information is unlawful and may subject the user to
criminal and civil penalties.
- This information should be treated as strictly confidential and should not be disclosed to anyone
unless authorized.
I will ensure that the following information is obtained prior to releasing any Key Code information:
1. Government issued picture ID (Drivers License) 2. Registration or other proof of ownership.
Registration should have normal markings from the Province that issued the registration and
possibly the
receipt for payment recorded as well.
Important
- GM takes this agreement seriously. Each user must be certain of vehicle ownership before giving
out key codes.
- When the ownership of the vehicle is in doubt, dealership personnel should not provide the
information.
Key code requests should never be received via a fax or the internet and key codes should never
be provided to anyone in this manner. A face to face contact with the owner of the vehicle is the
expected manner that dealers will use to release a key code or as otherwise stipulated in this
bulletin or other materials.
- Key codes should NEVER be sent via a fax or the internet.
- Each Dealership should create a permanent file to document all KeyCode Look Up transactions.
Requests should be filed by VIN and in each folder retain copies of the following:
- Government issued picture ID (Drivers License)
- Registration or other proof of ownership.
- Copy of the paid customer receipt which has the name of the employee who cut and sold the key
to the customer.
- Do not put yourself or your Dealership in the position of needing to "explain" a KeyCode Look Up
to either GM or law enforcement officials.
- Dealership Management has the ability to review all KeyCode Look-Up transactions.
- Dealership KeyCode documentation must be retained for two years.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for GM of Canada Dealers
How do I request a KeyCode for customer owned vehicle that is not registered?
Scrapped, salvaged or stored vehicles that do not have a current registration should still have the
ownership verified by requesting the vehicle title, current insurance policy and / or current lien
holder information from the customers financing source. If you cannot determine if the customer is
the owner of the vehicle, do not provide the key code information. In these cases, a short
description of the vehicle (scrapped, salvaged, etc.) and the dealership location should be kept on
file. Any clarifying explanation should be entered into the comments field.
How do I document a KeyCode request for a vehicle that is being repossessed?
The repossessor must document ownership of the vehicle by providing a court ordered
repossession order and lien-holder documents prior to providing key code information. Copies of
the repossessors Drivers License and a business card should be retained by the dealership for
documentation.
What do I do if the registration information is locked in the vehicle?
Every effort should be made to obtain complete information for each request. Each Dealership will
have to decide on a case by case basis if enough information is available to verify the customer's
ownership of the vehicle. Other forms of documentation include vehicle title, insurance policy, and
or current lien information from the customers financing source. Dealership Management must be
involved in any request without complete information. If you cannot determine if the customer is the
owner of the vehicle, do not provide the key code information.
Can I get a print out of the information on the screen?
It is important to note that the Key Code Look Up Search Results contain sensitive and/or
proprietary information. For this reason GM recommends against printing it. If the Search Results
must be printed, store and/or dispose of the printed copy properly to minimize the risk of improper
or illegal use.
Who in the dealership has access to the KeyCode application?
Dealership Parts Manager (or assigned management) will determine, and control, who is
authorized to access the KeyCode Look Up application. However, we anticipate that dealership
parts and service management will be the primary users of the application. The KeyCode Look Up
application automatically tracks each user activity session. Information tracked by the system
includes: User name, User ID, all other entered data and the date/time of access.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Locks > Key > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Locks - Key Code Security Rules and Information > Page 15470
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.

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.

- Confirm that the vehicle responds with the appropriate lock and unlock function.
- If Yes , the 2-way transmitter was in mode B.
- Press and release the left side button twice within one second. The 2-way transmitter should
enter second vehicle mode.
- Use the "next available slot" method in the scan tool to program the 2-way transmitter to the
2-way RCDLR. Refer to Remote Control Door Lock Transmitter Programming in SI.
- Both vehicle modes of the 2-way transmitter should now be coded to the vehicle.
If No:
The 2-way transmitter is not exhibiting the failure mode addressed by this bulletin. Refer to normal
diagnostic procedures.

Attention:
This bulletin should be distributed and reviewed by the Service Manager and Service Advisors. A
copy of this bulletin may be given to your customer to assist in explaining the remote keyless entry
(RKE) transmitter operation.
This bulletin provides information regarding any remote keyless entry/transmitter (key fob) that may
be inoperative intermittently or in which a particular button(s) does not work.
To prevent transmitter battery drain, the RKE transmitter will disable any button or buttons that are
depressed longer than 30 seconds. The disabled button or buttons will remain disabled until
another button that has not been disabled is pressed.
If a button or buttons on a transmitter are not functioning, or if a transmitter cannot be programmed
to a vehicle, press and release each and every button on the fob one at a time until you find one
that works then retest the other buttons. If all buttons are now working, the button(s) were disabled
and the transmitter is working as designed.
If the transmitter still fails to function properly, use the J-43241 tester and follow normal diagnostics
as shown in SI.

This bulletin provides information regarding any remote keyless entry/transmitter (key fob) that may
be inoperative intermittently or in which a particular button(s) does not work.
To prevent transmitter battery drain, the RKE transmitter will disable any button or buttons that are
depressed longer than 30 seconds. The disabled button or buttons will remain disabled until
another button that has not been disabled is pressed.
If a button or buttons on a transmitter are not functioning, or if a transmitter cannot be programmed
to a vehicle, press and release each and every button on the fob one at a time until you find one
that works then retest the other buttons. If all buttons are now working, the button(s) were disabled
and the transmitter is working as designed.
If the transmitter still fails to function properly, use the J-43241 tester and follow normal diagnostics
as shown in SI.

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

Troubleshooting with a Test Lamp
Troubleshooting with a Test Lamp
Special Tools
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.

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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Locks > Keyless Entry > Keyless Entry Transmitter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 15567
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.

Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector.
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
Note: When probing female 0.64 terminals, it is important to use the correct adapter. There have
been some revisions to the test adapter for 0.64 terminals. The proper adapter for 0.64 terminals is
the J-35616-64B which has a gold terminal and a black wire between the base and tip. Failure to
use the proper test adapter may result in damage to the terminal being tested and improper
diagnosis.
Note: The proper adapter for probing the terminals for fuses, relays, or diodes in an electrical
center is J-35616-35. Using any other tool or adapter may damage the terminal being tested.
Refer to the following table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for front probing
connectors:
Backprobe
Note:
* Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
* Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire

(dock and lock) connector.
* Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
* After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.
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 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

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.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Locks > Keyless Entry > Keyless Entry Transmitter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 15573
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.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Locks > Keyless Entry > Keyless Entry Transmitter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 15574
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.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 15575
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.

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.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Locks > Keyless Entry > Keyless Entry Transmitter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 15592
* In some cases Bosch will actually be printed on the connector. If Bosch does not appear on the
connector, look for the Bosch logo. The Bosch logo is a circle with a blunted arrow inside. This logo
can appear anywhere on the connector and is often very small.
* In some cases Delphi will actually be printed on the connector. If Delphi is not printed on the
connector, look for PED. In both cases there is no specific orientation for Delphi or PED and they
can appear anywhere on the connector.

* Most Molex connectors will have the Molex logo on the dresscover of the connector. In some
cases the connectors may have MX followed by another letter. The third letter indicates where the
connector was made. A connector with MXD is a Molex connector made in Detroit.
Sumitomo has a unique symbol on their connector and possibly a part number. The symbol is
similar to that of a diamond lying on its side, similar to that shown. The logo could appear anywhere
but the most common place is at the wire side of the housing.
* Tyco/AMP has many different and unique connector designs. Some may or may not have
identifiable marks on them.

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

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

use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. See the release tool cross reference in the
Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
10. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the
wire out of the front of the connector instead of
pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.

1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long
enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough,
splice a small length of the same gauge wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on
the added wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.

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

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

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

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.
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.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Locks > Keyless Entry > Keyless Entry Transmitter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 15677
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 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.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Locks > Keyless Entry > Keyless Entry Transmitter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 15678
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

repair 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

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).

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.

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.

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 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

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

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

Lock Cylinder Binding
In many cases, applying the proper lubrication can correct the following conditions:
* Binding or sticking door lock cylinders
* Difficulty in inserting and removing the keys
For lubricating the above components, use lubricant GM P/N 12346241 or equivalent.
Do not use penetrating lubricants such as GM P/N 1052949 or WD-40(R). Penetrating lubricants
wash out the original lubrication. Penetrating lubricants eventually evaporate, leaving little or no
lubricating material. However, when using penetrating lubricants in order to thaw or in order to
loosen the lock cylinder components, refer to steps 2-4 in the procedure below for the proper
methods of lubrication.
Repair lock cylinders frozen in cold weather by using the following procedure:
1. While carefully avoiding damage to the painted surfaces, apply heat to the cylinder with a heat
gun. 2. Using a paper clip or a similar item, hold the door shutter open.
Force air into the cylinders using compressed air through a blow gun attachment.
3. While holding the shutter door open, inject small amounts of a recommended lubricant into the
cylinder. 4. Work the key into the cylinder repeatedly.
Wipe away any excess lubrication from the key.

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.

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

The technician may observe on a scan tool DTC P0116 and/or P1400 set as Current or in History.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the engine control module (ECM) determining that the ignition
OFF time requirement has been met at start-up and interpreting the temperature difference
between the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor and the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
as being outside of a calibrated range.
Correction
Important DO NOT replace the ECM for this condition.

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

Models:
2007-2010 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT 2007-2010 Chevrolet Silverado,
Suburban, Tahoe 2011 Chevrolet Silverado Heavy Duty 2007-2010 GMC Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL,
Yukon Denali, Yukon Denali XL 2011 GMC Sierra Heavy Duty All Equipped with Heated Front Seat
(RPO AN3, KA1) or Heated and Cooled Seat (RPO KB6) and/or Luxury Package (RPO PCK)
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the RPOs. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 10-08-50-008A (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the driver or passenger heated seat system exhibits the
following symptoms:
- Heated seat turns on and then turns off within 1 to 10 minutes (at any 60 second interval).
- The system doesn't get warm enough, or gets warm very slowly.
- The heated seat system is completely inoperative.
Upon further review, DTCs B2430 0D and/or B2180 0D may be set as a current or history code if
the vehicle is equipped with heated seats only (RPO KA1). Also, the LED indicator for the heated
seats may come On and then flash after approximately 1 minute, then go out.
If the vehicle is equipped with heated and cooled seats (KB6), the switch LED indicator may stay
On, but the heated and cooled seat is inoperative. The fan will continue to blow air.
Cause
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
The heated seat control circuit terminal and/or ground terminal in harness connector X1 to the
memory seat module (MSM) may have lost tension and is loose. The reduced terminal tension
increases resistance in the connector, which may result in the symptoms described above.
Heated and Cooled Seats (RPO KB6)
The thermo-electric device (TED) in the seat cushion/seat back ventilation heating and cooling
module may have become inoperative.
Correction
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
Follow the steps below to correct the concern with the heated seats.
Note
This repair requires a unique anti-abrasion electrical tape and harness clip from Kent Automotive.
Refer to the Parts Information below.
1. Access and remove the seat bolts/nuts. 2. Adjust the seat rearward about halfway. Adjust the
seat recline full forward. 3. Tilt the seat backward to access the bottom of the seat. Prop the seat
up with a suitable tool if required.

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 (Crew Cab) (See: Interior Moulding / Trim/Headliner/Service and
Repair/Headlining Trim Panel Replacement (Crew Cab))Headlining Trim Panel Replacement

Replacement (Extended Cab))Headlining Trim Panel Replacement (Regular Cab) ( See: Interior
Moulding / Trim/Headliner/Service and Repair/Headlining Trim Panel Replacement (Regular Cab)).
3. Connect any disconnected hoses. 4. Ensure that the rear drain hoses are properly routed in the
metal roof slot and taped in place.

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

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.

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.

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
Equipment is available by contacting 1-800-GMTOOLS.

switch states and IMS states for each shift lever detent position. The chart following this list shows
the correct states.
3. If all IMS readings are normal, monitor the PNP status in the engine data list during DTC setting
to isolate a possible open or short to ground on
the dedicated PNP signal between the TEHCM and the ECM.
4. If the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX, proceed to Step 5 in the History DTC section below
before continuing with any additional evaluations. 5. If all IMS and PNP readings are normal, the
condition is intermittent in nature and determination of the defective component will be made based
on freeze frame data and previous repair history or warranty data. Proceed to History DTC below. If
the readings are not as specified above, the fault is still active. Proceed to the Active DTC section
below to determine which component(s) is defective.

"HLLL" and the IMS state of "Neutral/Drive 6",
complete the following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS =0 RPM or low value,
Engine Torque >30 Nm.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Determine if the shift lever can be hung-up between Neutral and Drive 6. If so, there may be
excessive drag in the system.
- Move the shift lever through each detent position, ensuring positive detent feel. If any concern is
noted, remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement. Ensure that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer. If the vehicle has been returned to the dealer with this Freeze Frame bit
codes after repairs, contact the person(s) below in Step 4.
2. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of "HHLH"
and IMS state of "Blank", complete the
following:
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS >500 RPM, OSS >0 RPM, Vehicle
Speed >0 MPH

4. If the DTC does not reset and original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of LLLH,
LLHL, LHLL or PNP Switch is P/N in all gears,
failure is a short to ground condition and is most likely in the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM), complete the following:
- Obtain the following data and contact the PQC as the Control Solenoid (with body and TCM)
Valve Assembly (TEHCM) is currently on restriction. The PQC will engage engineering for
additional diagnostic support.
- Capture or record freeze frame or fail records if a DTC is set.
- Document the diagnostics completed leading to the decision to replace the control solenoid valve
and transmission control module.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
- Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.
- After completing the above steps, test drive the vehicle, moving the shifter through all detent
positions. If no issues are found, ensure all DTC codes are cleared from history and return the
vehicle to the customer.
5. If the DTC does not reset and the original freeze frame data reports an IMS A/B/C/P code of
LLLH and the vehicle is a 2009 CTS, STS or SRX,
the condition is most likely caused by an incorrectly adjusted shift linkage.
Important Typical Freeze Frame operating conditions: ISS and OSS both =0 RPM or ISS and OSS
both >0 RPM and/or vehicle is in some drive gear (transmission gear ratio matches one of the
forward gear ratios).
- Using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS A/B/C/P code
remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not adjusted
properly.
- Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment as detailed in SI.
- After adjustment, using a Tech 2(R), pull backward firmly/hard on the shifter to verify that the IMS
A/B/C/P code remains at the correct HLLH reading. If it toggles to LLLH or LLLL, the linkage is not
adjusted properly. Repeat the adjustment.
- If no shifter adjustment issues are found, return to Step 4.
ACTIVE DTC/FAULT ACTIVE
If the fault is still active per Step 2 above, or after a test drive, continue with component tests
defined below:
1. Ensure proper system performance:
- Inspect the shift cable for incorrect routing, kinks, severe bends and/or a damaged or twisted
rubber boot at the transmission end of the cable.
- Check and ensure proper cable adjustment.
- Remove the transmission oil pan and repeat the shift lever movement, ensuring that the detent
spring roller moves to the bottom of the valley on the detent plate for each shift lever position.
Inspect the detent spring roller and ensure it is centered on the detent plate. The spring arms
should not be rubbing on either the IMS arm or detent plate.
2. Disconnect the IMS connector at the Control Solenoid (w/body and TCM) Valve Assembly
(TEHCM). With the Tech 2(R) connected and the
ignition ON and engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should report all IMS states A/B/C/P as high (H) and
the PNP Switch should display "In Gear".
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays low (L), the TEHCM is faulty and should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "Park/Neutral", a short exists in the
TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission pass-through
connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal pin 3 (refer to
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

P1915/MIL ON > Page 16143
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and the valve body assembly. If
continuity exists, a short to ground is present in the TEHCM and it should be replaced. If the
Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS. If there is no continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the common pin (Pin A) and pins B, C, D & F in the
TEHCM IMS connector (refer to Automatic
Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). As each circuit (B, C, D & F) is grounded with
ignition ON, engine OFF, the Tech 2(R) should display low (L) for the IMS bit.
- If any of the A/B/C/P circuits displays high (H) when grounded, the TEHCM is faulty and should
be replaced. If the Vehicle Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
- If Pin F in the PNP Switch Circuit (Tech 2(R) Engine data) displays "In Gear" when grounded, an
open exist in the TEHCM or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. Disconnect the transmission
pass-through connector. Check for continuity between the pass-through P/N Signal Pin 3 (refer to
Automatic Transmission Inline 16-Way Connector End View in SI) and TEHCM IMS connection Pin
F (refer to Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views in SI). If there is continuity, the
problem is outside the transmission. If there is no continuity, replace the TEHCM. If the Vehicle
Build Date is prior to March 31, 2007, also replace the IMS.
Important The bad bit should be consistent with the bad bit identified in Step 2.
4. If the two tests above indicate correct TEHCM operation and the condition still exists, the IMS is
faulty and should be replaced.
Important There is no calibration update for vehicles equipped with a 6L90 RPO MYD transmission
or 2008 model year vehicles. These calibrations were updated before production began.
5. Update the TCM calibration file to the latest released on TIS2WEB.

Bulletin No.: 10-08-50-008B
Date: January 13, 2011
Subject: Driver or Passenger Heated Seat Inoperative, Slow to Warm, DTC(s) Set (Repair
Connector, Re-Route Harness)
Models:
2007-2010 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT 2007-2010 Chevrolet Silverado,
Suburban, Tahoe 2011 Chevrolet Silverado Heavy Duty 2007-2010 GMC Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL,
Yukon Denali, Yukon Denali XL 2011 GMC Sierra Heavy Duty All Equipped with Heated Front Seat
(RPO AN3, KA1) or Heated and Cooled Seat (RPO KB6) and/or Luxury Package (RPO PCK)
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the RPOs. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 10-08-50-008A (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the driver or passenger heated seat system exhibits the
following symptoms:
- Heated seat turns on and then turns off within 1 to 10 minutes (at any 60 second interval).
- The system doesn't get warm enough, or gets warm very slowly.
- The heated seat system is completely inoperative.
Upon further review, DTCs B2430 0D and/or B2180 0D may be set as a current or history code if
the vehicle is equipped with heated seats only (RPO KA1). Also, the LED indicator for the heated
seats may come On and then flash after approximately 1 minute, then go out.
If the vehicle is equipped with heated and cooled seats (KB6), the switch LED indicator may stay
On, but the heated and cooled seat is inoperative. The fan will continue to blow air.
Cause
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
The heated seat control circuit terminal and/or ground terminal in harness connector X1 to the
memory seat module (MSM) may have lost tension and is loose. The reduced terminal tension
increases resistance in the connector, which may result in the symptoms described above.
Heated and Cooled Seats (RPO KB6)
The thermo-electric device (TED) in the seat cushion/seat back ventilation heating and cooling
module may have become inoperative.
Correction
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
Follow the steps below to correct the concern with the heated seats.
Note
This repair requires a unique anti-abrasion electrical tape and harness clip from Kent Automotive.
Refer to the Parts Information below.
1. Access and remove the seat bolts/nuts. 2. Adjust the seat rearward about halfway. Adjust the
seat recline full forward. 3. Tilt the seat backward to access the bottom of the seat. Prop the seat
up with a suitable tool if required.

necessary. Refer to Repairing Connector Terminals in SI. 8. Identify connector X4. Refer to

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.

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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Fan > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 16263
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.

Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector.
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
Note: When probing female 0.64 terminals, it is important to use the correct adapter. There have
been some revisions to the test adapter for 0.64 terminals. The proper adapter for 0.64 terminals is
the J-35616-64B which has a gold terminal and a black wire between the base and tip. Failure to
use the proper test adapter may result in damage to the terminal being tested and improper
diagnosis.
Note: The proper adapter for probing the terminals for fuses, relays, or diodes in an electrical
center is J-35616-35. Using any other tool or adapter may damage the terminal being tested.
Refer to the following table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for front probing
connectors:
Backprobe
Note:
* Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
* Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire

(dock and lock) connector.
* Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
* After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.
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.

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
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

Information and Instructions > Page 16268
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.

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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Fan > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 16270
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
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Fan > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 16271
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.

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.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.

Repair Procedure
Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals.
The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping.
In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed.
The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool
has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped.
The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same
time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair
Micro 64 terminals.
Note: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long
enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough,
splice a small length of the same gauge wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on
the added wire.
1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation
from the wire.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Fan > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 16300
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely
visible.
4. Insert terminal into the appropriate terminal holder until it hits bottom and stops. The correct
terminal holder is determined by the wire size. Also
ensure that the terminals wings are pointing towards the former on the tool and the release locator.
5. Insert the stripped cable into the terminal. Insulation should be visible on both sides of the
terminal insulation wings. 6. Compress the handles until the ratchet automatically releases. 7.
Place the terminal into the appropriate cavity and assemble the connector.

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

1. Disconnect the connector from the component.
2. Locate the nose piece locking tabs that are positioned on the side of the connector nose piece.
The connector nose piece acts as a terminal positive
assurance (TPA) and may be referred to as such.
3. Use a small flat-blade tool to push in one of the locking tabs while gently pulling on the same
side of the nose piece. 4. Repeat the procedure for the other locking tab and remove the nose
piece. 5. Remove the wire dress cover. The following is a general procedure for wire dress cover
removal. Use this procedure as a guide, some dress cover
removal procedures may vary.

remove the cover.
9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the
back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. See the release tool cross reference in the
Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
10. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the
wire out of the front of the connector instead of
pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.

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

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

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

* The 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.
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.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Fan > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 16373
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 crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice sleeve, (2) is for the blue

Information and Instructions > Page 16374
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

repair 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

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

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.
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Fan > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 16385
2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splice is made.
3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the instructions for Splicing Copper Wire
Using Splice Sleeves (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves). Staggering the splices by
65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended.
Note: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact
with the drain wire.
4. Re-assemble the cable.
* Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. If the mylar tape is damaged, use 3M product
AL-36FR to replace the damaged mylar tape.
* Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1).
* Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire.
* Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with electrical tape to replace the outer
insulation.
5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape.

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

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

Terminated Lead Repair
Terminated Lead Repair
Special Tools
* J-38125-8 - Splice Sleeve Crimp Tool
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Fan > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 16389
* 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.

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

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

Troubleshooting with a Test Lamp
Troubleshooting with a Test Lamp
Special Tools
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.

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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 16471
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.

* 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.

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
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

Information and Instructions > Page 16476
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 16477
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 16478
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
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 16479
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.

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.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 16496
* In some cases Bosch will actually be printed on the connector. If Bosch does not appear on the
connector, look for the Bosch logo. The Bosch logo is a circle with a blunted arrow inside. This logo
can appear anywhere on the connector and is often very small.
* In some cases Delphi will actually be printed on the connector. If Delphi is not printed on the
connector, look for PED. In both cases there is no specific orientation for Delphi or PED and they
can appear anywhere on the connector.

* Most Molex connectors will have the Molex logo on the dresscover of the connector. In some
cases the connectors may have MX followed by another letter. The third letter indicates where the
connector was made. A connector with MXD is a Molex connector made in Detroit.
Sumitomo has a unique symbol on their connector and possibly a part number. The symbol is
similar to that of a diamond lying on its side, similar to that shown. The logo could appear anywhere
but the most common place is at the wire side of the housing.
* Tyco/AMP has many different and unique connector designs. Some may or may not have
identifiable marks on them.

Repair Procedure
Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals.
The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping.
In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed.
The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool
has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped.
The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same
time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair
Micro 64 terminals.
Note: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long
enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough,
splice a small length of the same gauge wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on
the added wire.
1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation
from the wire.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

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

back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. See the release tool cross reference in the
Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
10. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the
wire out of the front of the connector instead of
pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.

1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long
enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough,
splice a small length of the same gauge wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on
the added wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.

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

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

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

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.
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 16581
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 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.

Information and Instructions > Page 16582
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

repair 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

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

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).

* 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.

Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 16589
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 16590
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 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.

Information and Instructions > Page 16593
2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splice is made.
3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the instructions for Splicing Copper Wire
Using Splice Sleeves (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves). Staggering the splices by
65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended.
Note: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact
with the drain wire.
4. Re-assemble the cable.
* Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. If the mylar tape is damaged, use 3M product
AL-36FR to replace the damaged mylar tape.
* Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1).
* Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire.
* Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with electrical tape to replace the outer
insulation.
5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape.

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

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

signal request is received, the MSM/HSM will activate both the seat cushion and seat back heating
elements. When the heated seat BACK ONLY mode button is pressed once the MSM/HSM will
deactivate the seat cushion heating element and leave the seat back heating element ON.
Factory Installed Heated Seat System Operation
The driver and passenger heated seats are controlled by separate heated seat switches located in
the door panels. Ground is supplied to the heated seat switches through the switch low reference
circuits from their respective door lock/window switches. The door lock/window switches also
control the heated seat switch heat mode and temperature indicators. The memory seat module
(MSM) controls the heated seat operation for both front heated seats.
The following describes the sequence of operation and how the MSM responds to each of the
switch inputs.
* High Temperature-When the heated seat switch is pressed once, ground is applied through the
switch contacts and the switch signal circuit to the door lock/window switch indicating the high heat
request. In response to this signal, the door lock/window switch applies a low current voltage
through the 3 temperature indicator control circuits illuminating all 3 LEDs indicating the high
temperature mode. The switch then sends a message via the GMLAN serial data line to the MSM
indicating the heated seat request. The MSM then applies battery voltage through the heating
element supply voltage circuit to the seat cushion and seat back heating elements. At the same
time, it supplies a ground through the element low reference circuits to the seat heating elements.
* Medium Temperature-When the switch is pressed a second time, the MSM sets the temperature
level to medium heat. The door lock/window switch removes the voltage from the high temperature
indicator leaving 2 LEDs illuminated indicating the medium temperature mode.
* Low Temperature-When the switch is pressed a third time, the MSM sets the temperature level to
low heat. The door lock/window switch removes the voltage from the medium temperature indicator
leaving 1 LED illuminated indicating the low temperature mode.
* System OFF State-When the switch is pressed a fourth time, the MSM removes the battery
voltage and grounds from the heating elements. The door lock/window switch removes the voltage
from the low temperature indicator, indicating the system OFF state.
* Back Only Mode-When the heated seat is ON and the BACK ONLY mode button is pressed,
ground is applied through the switch contacts and the heated seat back only mode signal circuit to
the door lock/window switch. In response to this signal, the door lock/window switch sends a
GMLAN message to the MSM indicating the back only mode request. The MSM then opens the
ground path to the seat cushion heater element, leaving the seat back heater active. The door
lock/window switch turns OFF the seat cushion/back mode indicator, then applies a low current
voltage through the heated seat back only mode indicator control circuit illuminating the back only
mode indicator.
Dealer Installed Heated Seat System Operation
The dealer installed driver and passenger heated seats are controlled by separate heated seat
switches located in the instrument panel trim plate on the right side of the HVAC controls.
The following describes the sequence of operation and how the heated seat module (HSM)
responds to each of the switch inputs.
* High Temperature-When the heated seat switch is pressed once, ground is applied through the
switch contacts and the switch signal circuit to the HSM indicating the high heat request. In
response to this signal, the HSM applies battery voltage through the heating element supply
voltage circuit and ground through the element low reference circuits to the seat cushion and seat
back heating elements. At the same time, the HSM applies a low current voltage through the 3
temperature indicator control circuits illuminating all 3 LEDs indicating the high temperature mode.
* Medium Temperature-When the switch is pressed a second time, the HSM sets the temperature
level to medium heat and removes the voltage from the high temperature indicator leaving 2 LEDs
illuminated indicating the medium temperature mode.
* Low Temperature-When the switch is pressed a third time, the HSM sets the temperature level to
low heat and removes the voltage from the
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Description and
Operation > Heated Seat > Page 16616
medium temperature indicator leaving 1 LED illuminated indicating the low temperature mode.
* System OFF State-When the switch is pressed a fourth time, the HSM removes the battery
voltage and grounds from the heating elements and the voltage from the low temperature indicator,
indicating the system OFF state.
* Back Only Mode-When the heated seat is ON and the BACK ONLY mode button is pressed,
ground is applied through the switch contacts and the heated seat back only mode signal circuit to
the HSM. In response to this signal, the HSM opens the ground path to the seat cushion heater
element, leaving just the seat back heater active. At the same time, the HSM turns OFF the seat
cushion/back mode indicator, then applies a low current voltage through the heated seat back only
mode indicator control circuit illuminating the back only mode indicator.
Temperature Regulation
The heated seat system is designed to warm the seat cushion and seat back to 3 different
temperature settings; High, MED, and Low. The MSM/HSM monitors the seat temperature through
the temperature sensor signal circuits and the temperature sensors (thermistor) that are located in
the seat cushion and the seat back. The temperature sensors are variable resistors, their
resistance varies as the temperature of the seat changes. When the temperature sensor resistance
indicates to the MSM/HSM that the seat has reached the desired temperature, the module opens
the ground path of the seat heating elements through the heated seat element control circuit. The
module will then cycle the element control circuit open and closed in order to maintain the desired
temperature.
Load Management
The electrical power management function is designed to monitor the vehicle electrical load and
determine when the battery is potentially in a high discharge condition. The heated seat system is
one of the vehicle loads that is subject to reduction during a battery discharge condition. For more
information on load management refer to Electrical Power Management Description and Operation
(See: Starting and Charging/Description and Operation).

Seat Heater: Description and Operation Heated/Cooled Seats
Heated/Cooled Seats Description and Operation
The driver and front passenger heated cooled seat system consist of the following components:
* Seat cushion heat/cool ventilation module
* Seat back heat/cool ventilation module
* Climate control seat module
* Memory seat module
* Heated and cooled seat switch
* Door lock/window switch
Air Circulation
When the heated/cool seat switch is pressed to initiate operation of the climate control seat system,
cabin air is drawn through the heated/cool ventilation module air filter, then directed through
passages in the foam of the seat cushion and seat back to the seat's occupant. In order for the
climate control seat system to operate to its optimum performance, it is crucial to have unrestricted
air flow through the system. A dirty or restricted air filter, the blockage of an exhaust air duct, a
misaligned heated/cool ventilation module, or incorrect foam installation of the seat cushion or seat
back will all have negative effects on climate control seat system operation.
Seat Heat/Cool Ventilation Module
Each heated/cool seat has 2 ventilation modules, one located under the seat cushion and one
located in the seat back. These modules are controlled by the climate control seat module (CCSM).
Each ventilation module contains a thermo-electric device (TED), a temperature sensor, and a
blower motor. The TED and temperature sensor are mounted downstream of the blower motor.
Each TED consists of a circuit of positive and negative connections sandwiched between 2 ceramic
plates. Each ceramic plate is equipped with copper fins for heat exchange. The air flowing past
these fins is either directed as conditioned air into the seat cushion and seat back, or directed into
the cabin as waste air.
TED is essentially a solid state heat pump that is used to heat or cool the air supply to the seat
cushion and seat back. When voltage is applied to a TED, one side releases energy as heat, while
the opposite side absorbs energy and gets cold. When the polarity of the current flow to the TEDs
is switched, the hot and cool sides of the TED reverse.
During the following climate control seat system description and operation, the TEDs, blower
motors, and temperature sensors will be referenced independently even though they are all
packaged together as a module.
Climate Control Seat System
The climate control seat system consists of two heated/cool ventilation modules and one CCSM
that controls both the driver and passenger heated/cool seats systems. The CCSM is mounted
below the front passenger seat cushion.
Once a climate control seat system is activated, cabin air is drawn through the seat blower motors
and directed across the fins of each of the TED located under the seat cushion and in the seat
back. The air is either heated or cooled as it passes over the TEDs. This conditioned air is then
directed through channels in the foam of the seat pad and through small holes in the seat cover to
the occupant. Once the system is activated, the CCSM uses a set of algorithms to control the
temperature of the selected heating or cooling modes.
Climate Control Seat Module Power and Ground
Battery positive voltage is supplied at all times to the CCSM through the battery positive voltage
circuit and a 30 A fuse that is located in the I/P fuse block. This voltage is used by the CCSM to
supply power to the TEDs and the blower motors. Ignition voltage is also supplied to the CCSM
through the ignition voltage circuit and a 10 A fuse located in the underhood fuse block. The
ignition voltage is used to power up the CCSM and allows the climate control seat system to
operate only with the ignition in the ON position. The CCSM is grounded through the module
ground circuit and G304.
Climate Control Seat Module
The CCSM is located under the passenger seat and controls 4 individual driver and passenger seat
heat/cool ventilation blowers. When the CCSM receives a heated cooled seat command through
the left or right heated/cooled seat mode signal circuit, the appropriate seat heat/cool ventilation
blowers will be operated by the CCSM.
Memory Seat Module
The memory seat module (MSM) monitors the heated cooled seat switches through serial data
message inputs and determines the heated cooled seat operating modes and temperature levels.
The MSM controls the operating mode of the CCSM through 2 pulse width modulation (PWM)
signal circuits. The left and right heated/cooled seat mode signal circuits are referenced from
battery voltage by the CCSM and pulsed low by the MSM. Each heated
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Description and
Operation > Heated Seat > Page 16618
cooled seat is capable of operating in 3 modes with 3 temperature levels so the MSM uses 9 PWM
frequencies for each signal circuit to command the heated cooled seat modes to the CCSM.
Modes of Operation
There are 3 modes available for climate control seat system operation, heated seat, cool seat, and
back only heat operation. When a heat or cool seat mode signal request is received, the CCSM will
activate both the seat cushion and seat back ventilation modules. When the seat BACK ONLY
mode button is pressed once, the CCSM will deactivate the seat cushion ventilation module and
leave the seat back ventilation module ON. Press the BACK ONLY mode button a second time and
the CCSM will re-activate the seat cushion ventilation module.
Heated/Cooled Seat Switch and Door Module
The heated and cooled seat system is controlled through the heated and cooled seat switches that
are located on the door panels. Ground is supplied to the heated/cool seat switch through the low
reference circuit and the respective door module. The door module plays an important part of the
climate control seat operation, first by relaying the selected switch inputs to the MSM, and second,
by controlling the mode and temperature indicators of the heated/cool seat switch.
When either a heat or cool seat switch is pressed, ground is applied through the switch contacts
and the switch signal circuit to the door lock/window switch. In response to this signal, the door
lock/window switch sends a serial data message to the MSM indicating the switch input. In
response to this message, the MSM then sends a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal through
the appropriate heated/cool seat mode signal circuit to the CCSM indicating the heated or cooled
seat request. The door lock/window switch then applies a ground through the appropriate heat or
cool seat indicator control circuit to the switch illuminating the selected heat or cool mode indicator.
At the same time, the door lock/window switch also applies a ground through the appropriate high,
medium, or low temperature indicator control circuits illuminating temperature mode indicators.
Temperature Sensors
As mentioned above in the heated/cool ventilation module description, the seat cushion and seat
back temperature sensors are each packaged with a TED and blower motor as an assembly. The
seat temperature sensors are thermistors which are attached directly to the fins of each TED. The
CCSM supplies a 5 V reference voltage through the temperature sensor signal circuit and ground
through the temperature sensor low reference circuit to the respective seat cushion and seat back
temperature sensors. As the temperature of the TED changes, the resistance of the thermistor
varies changing the feedback voltage of the temperature sensor signal circuit. This voltage varies
from 0.5 - 4 V. The CCSM monitors this voltage signal to determine the fin temperature so that it
can adjust and maintain the seat temperature to the selected switch input.
Blower Motors
Also, as mentioned above in the heated/cool ventilation module description, the seat cushion and
seat back blower motors are each packaged with a TED and temperature sensor as an assembly.
Each blower motor contains logic that will allow for the blower to operate only when the ignition is in
the ON position. When the ignition is ON and the CCSM is powered up, the module supplies
battery positive voltage through the blower supply voltage circuit to the logic of the blower motors.
When the heated/cool seat switch is pressed, the CCSM applies a pre-determined voltage through
the blower speed control circuits to the blower motors. The module also supplies each blower
motor with a ground path through the blower low reference circuits.
With the climate control seat system, the speed of the blower motor is not related directly to the
High, Med, or Low input from the heated/cool seat switch. The speed of the blower motor is related
directly to TED temperature as described below in heated and cooled seat operation.
Heated Seat Operation
When the heated seat switch is pressed for High Heat, the CCSM will transition to the HEAT state.
In the heat state, the CCSM applies a pre-determined voltage through the ventilation module heat
control circuits to the heat side of the TEDs, while providing a ground through the ventilation
module cool control circuit to the cool side of the TEDs. A pre-determined voltage is also applied to
the blower motors. The CCSM uses the following sequence beginning with the Heat SoftStart
Mode to achieve the set point temperature before it can enter the Control Heat Mode. If the seat
temperature is already above the Temperature Set Point, the CCSM will skip the Heat SoftStart
Mode and proceed to the Control Heat Mode.
* Heat SoftStart Mode - While in transition to the heat mode, the CCSM will initiate the SoftStart
Mode. The intent of the Heat SoftStart Mode is for the module to bring the ventilation module fin
temperature up to the pre-determined Temperature Set Point of the Max Heat Mode. The module
does this by setting the blower motor speed control to a pre-determined voltage while ramping up
the ventilation module voltage from 0 V to the maximum voltage, not to exceed 5 seconds, at which
point the system transitions to Max Heat Mode. The Heat SoftStart Mode will only be attempted
once per ignition cycle.
* Max Heat Mode - Upon completion of the Heat SoftStart Mode, the CCSM will initiate Max Heat
Mode. The intent of the MAX Heat Mode is to maintain the fin temperature to the pre-determined
Temperature Set Point in order for the CCSM to go into the Control Heat Mode. The CCSM does
this by maintaining the TED at the maximum voltage while maintaining the minimum required
airflow across the fins. After max heat duration has been reached, or upon achieving the
pre-determined Temperature Set Point, the system transitions to the Control Heat Mode.
* Control Heat Mode - At the completion of Max Heat Mode, the CCSM will initiate Control Heat
Mode. The intent of the Control Heat Mode is to maintain the desired fin temperature or the set
point temperature. The CCSM does this in two ways; first by adjusting the voltage supply to the
blower motor to control blower motor speed, then secondly by controlling the voltage supplied to
the TED. The CCSM updates these voltages once every second. Increasing the blower motor
speed will decrease the fin temperature. If the maximum blower motor speed is achieved and the
fin temperature is still above the set point of high heat, the CCSM will then begin to control the TED
voltage to achieve Temperature Set Point.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Description and
Operation > Heated Seat > Page 16619
Decreasing the TED voltage decreases the fin temperature. If the CCSM is trying to raise the fin
temperature to set point by using TED voltage, and the fin temperature cannot be raised because
the TED voltage is at the maximum, the CCSM reduces the blower motor speed to achieve the
Temperature Set Point.
Cooled Seat Operation
When the cool seat switch is pressed for High Cool, the CCSM will transition to the COOL state. In
response to this command, the CCSM applies a pre-determined voltage through the ventilation
module cool control circuits to the cool side of the TEDs while providing a ground through the
ventilation module heat control circuits to the heat side of the TEDs. A pre-determined voltage is
also applied to the blower motors. The CCSM uses the following sequence, beginning with the
Cool SoftStart Mode, to achieve the set point temperature before it can enter the Open Loop Cool
Mode.
* Cool SoftStart Mode - The intent of the Cool SoftStart Mode is for the CCSM to bring the TED fin
temperature to maximum cool temperate. The CCSM does this by setting the blower motor speed
control voltage to 0 V, while ramping up the TED voltage duty cycle from 0 V to maximum voltage
duty cycle over a period not to exceed 5 seconds. Then, with the TEDs at maximum voltage, the
CCSM will increase the blower speed to maximum voltage, and keep these settings for the MAX
COOL DURATION. After which the system transitions to the Open Loop Cool Mode.
* Open Loop Cool Mode - At the completion of Cool SoftStart Mode, the CCSM will initiate Open
Loop Cool Mode. The intent of this mode is to maintain the set point fin temperature based on the
input of the cool seat switch. First, by controlling the speed of the blower motor, then secondly, by
controlling TED voltage. The CCSM updates these voltages once every second.
Fault State
The climate control seat system will operate normally in the battery voltage range of 9 - 16 V. If the
system voltage falls outside of this voltage range, the module will shut down all outputs until the
system returns to its normal operating voltage range. The system will also transition to the fault
state per the conditions listed below, by shutting down all outputs for the seat in which the fault
occurred.
High Temperature Fault State
During the heating or cooling modes, if the TED temperatures listed below are exceeded for more
than 4 seconds, the system will enter the High Temperature Fault State. At which time the CCSM
will set the TED voltage duty cycle to 0%, set the blower speed control to maximum voltage to blow
ambient air over the TEDs, attempting to reduce the TED temperature below the listed maximums.
The system will operate in this mode for 30 seconds. If the over temperature fault still exists after
30 seconds, the system will transition to the FAULT state for the remainder of the ignition cycle. If
the over temperature fault clears, the system will then transition to the appropriate heat or cool
softstart mode. The following temperatures are based upon individual readings of either sensor:
* Heat mode TED temperature exceeds 230°F (110°C).
* Cool mode TED temperature exceeds 149°F (65°C).
Temperature Delta Fault
During the heating or cooling modes, if the CCSM detects a temperature difference between the
seat cushion and seat back TED temperature sensors exceeding the delta temperature listed
below for more than 4 seconds, the system will enter the Temperature Delta Fault state. At which
time the CCSM will set the TED voltage duty cycle to 0%, set the blower speed control to maximum
voltage to blow ambient air over the TEDs, attempting to reduce the delta temperature to less than
68°F. The system will operate in this mode for 30 seconds. If the delta temperature fault still exists
after 30 seconds, the system will transition to the FAULT state and remain there until the ignition
has been set to OFF.
* Delta between the seat cushion and seat back temperature sensors is 104°F (40°C).
* This fault state is disabled in the back only mode.

Circuit/System Description
The driver and front passenger heated seats are controlled by separate heated seat switches
located on the door panels. When a heated seat switch is pressed, ground is momentarily applied
through the switch contacts and the switch signal circuit to the door lock/window switch. In
response to this signal, the door lock/window switch sends a serial message to the memory seat
module (MSM) indicating the heat seat request. The MSM then applied battery voltage to the seat
cushion and seat back heater elements through a common voltage supply circuit. Each individual
heater element is grounded by the module through separate low side drive control circuits. The
heater element control circuits are pulse width modulated (PWM) to ground by the module in order
to control the seat temperatures by regulating the current flow through the heater elements. The
MSM relies on 4 independent inputs from temperature sensors (thermistors) located in the seat
back and seat cushion of the driver and passenger seats. The temperature sensor resistance
varies based on the temperature of the heating element causing the signal circuit voltage to
change. Once the seat reaches the switch set temperature, the MSM will then cycle the control
circuits of the heating elements ON and OFF in order to maintain the desired seat temperature
based on the feedback voltage from the sensors. The MSM then monitors the current flow through
the heating elements and the of rate change of the temperature sensor to verify correct heated seat
operation.

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.
Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The heat and cool seat functions for the driver and passenger seats are controlled by the climate
control seat module (CCSM) that is located under the
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Testing and Inspection
> Symptoms - Seat Heating and Cooling > Page 16628
passenger seat cushion. When a driver or passenger heat or cool seat switch is pressed, a low
reference signal is applied through the switch signal circuit to the door lock/window switch. In
response to the switch input, the door lock/window switch simultaneously illuminates the
appropriate heated/cooled switch indicators and sends a serial data message to the memory seat
module (MSM) indicating the heat or cool seat request. The MSM then sends a pulse width
modulation (PWM) signal through the appropriate heated/cooled seat mode signal circuit to the
CCSM. The CCSM then applies battery positive voltage to the seat cushion and seat back thermal
electronic devices (TEDs) and a pre-determined voltage to the blower motors. To determine seat
temperature, the CCSM supplies a 5 V signal and a low reference to the temperature sensors that
are attached to each TED. The temperature sensors are variable resistors, their resistance
changes as the temperature of the seat changes. Then based on the seat temperature, the CCSM
controls the voltage level that it applies to the TEDs and blower motors.
Diagnostic Aids
The following conditions must be met in order to perform valid tests when diagnosing the climate
control seat system:
* The ignition must be cycled OFF then ON between each test in order to reset the CCSM.
* Most circuit faults will set a DTC within 1.5 minutes. However, some circuit faults may cause a
performance problem in one mode and be inoperative and set a DTC in another mode. In some
cases it may take 5 minutes or more for a DTC to set. Operate the heated/cooled seat in each of
the three modes for 5 minutes or more then check for DTCs.
* The engine must be running in order to supply the CCSM with the amount of current needed to
operate the heated/cool seat system.

Ventilation Heat and Cool Module
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at the seat cushion and seat back ventilation
heat and cool modules.
Note: If the resistance is measured with the seat still warm or cool, the resistance values will vary.
At 68°F (20°C), the nominal resistance value is 1200 Ohms ±5 percent. For warmer or cooler
ambient temperatures, refer to the Temperature vs Resistance table below. The delta resistance
values between the seat cushion and seat back temperature sensors should not be greater than
2000 Ohms.
2. Test for 300 Ohms - 18 kOhms between the temperature sensor signal circuit terminal 5 and the
low reference circuit terminal 8.
‹› If not within the specified range, replace the ventilation heat and cool module.
Note: The test leads must be connected in the correct polarity, otherwise lower out of range values
will appear. Use the Positive Lead for the COOL control circuit and the Negative Lead for the HEAT
control circuit. If the resistance is measured with the seat still warm or cool, the resistance values
will vary even if the system was powered up for just a few seconds. The TED must be allowed to
stabilize to room temperature prior to a measurement. The conditions listed below will change the
resistance to out of range values:
* The test leads are incorrectly connected.
* Air blowing across the TED
* Measuring the resistance at other than room temperature of 70°F
* Holding the TED portion of the heated and cool ventilation module in your hand
In warmer or cooler climates where room temperature conditions of 70°F (21°C) may be
unattainable, resistance values may read above the specified range. Use a heat gun or a blower to
warm or cool the TED while measuring the resistance. The resistance values should slowly lower
toward the specified range.
3. Test for 0.9 - 10 Ohms between the heat control circuit terminal 1 and the cool control circuit
terminal 3.
‹› If not within the specified range, replace the ventilation heat and cool module.

Note: The test leads must be connected in the correct polarity, otherwise higher out of range values
will appear. Use the Positive Lead for the control circuit and the Negative Lead for the ground
circuit.
4. Test for 6 k - 9 kOhms between blower motor control circuit terminal 2 and the low reference
circuit terminal 4.
‹› If not within the specified range, replace the ventilation heat and cool module.
Note: The test leads need to be connected in the correct polarity, otherwise higher out of range
values will appear. Use the Positive Lead for the speed control circuit and the Negative Lead for
the ground circuit.

Bulletin No.: 10-08-50-008B
Date: January 13, 2011
Subject: Driver or Passenger Heated Seat Inoperative, Slow to Warm, DTC(s) Set (Repair
Connector, Re-Route Harness)
Models:
2007-2010 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT 2007-2010 Chevrolet Silverado,
Suburban, Tahoe 2011 Chevrolet Silverado Heavy Duty 2007-2010 GMC Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL,

(RPO AN3, KA1) or Heated and Cooled Seat (RPO KB6) and/or Luxury Package (RPO PCK)
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the RPOs. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 10-08-50-008A (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the driver or passenger heated seat system exhibits the
following symptoms:
- Heated seat turns on and then turns off within 1 to 10 minutes (at any 60 second interval).
- The system doesn't get warm enough, or gets warm very slowly.
- The heated seat system is completely inoperative.
Upon further review, DTCs B2430 0D and/or B2180 0D may be set as a current or history code if
the vehicle is equipped with heated seats only (RPO KA1). Also, the LED indicator for the heated
seats may come On and then flash after approximately 1 minute, then go out.
If the vehicle is equipped with heated and cooled seats (KB6), the switch LED indicator may stay
On, but the heated and cooled seat is inoperative. The fan will continue to blow air.
Cause
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
The heated seat control circuit terminal and/or ground terminal in harness connector X1 to the
memory seat module (MSM) may have lost tension and is loose. The reduced terminal tension
increases resistance in the connector, which may result in the symptoms described above.
Heated and Cooled Seats (RPO KB6)
The thermo-electric device (TED) in the seat cushion/seat back ventilation heating and cooling

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the RPOs. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 10-08-50-008A (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the driver or passenger heated seat system exhibits the
following symptoms:
- Heated seat turns on and then turns off within 1 to 10 minutes (at any 60 second interval).
- The system doesn't get warm enough, or gets warm very slowly.
- The heated seat system is completely inoperative.
Upon further review, DTCs B2430 0D and/or B2180 0D may be set as a current or history code if
the vehicle is equipped with heated seats only (RPO KA1). Also, the LED indicator for the heated
seats may come On and then flash after approximately 1 minute, then go out.
If the vehicle is equipped with heated and cooled seats (KB6), the switch LED indicator may stay
On, but the heated and cooled seat is inoperative. The fan will continue to blow air.
Cause
Heated Seats (RPO AN3, KA1)
The heated seat control circuit terminal and/or ground terminal in harness connector X1 to the
memory seat module (MSM) may have lost tension and is loose. The reduced terminal tension
increases resistance in the connector, which may result in the symptoms described above.
Heated and Cooled Seats (RPO KB6)
The thermo-electric device (TED) in the seat cushion/seat back ventilation heating and cooling
module may have become inoperative.

Models:
2007-2011 Chevrolet Silverado Crew Cab and Extended Cab 2007-2011 GMC Sierra Crew Cab
and Extended Cab
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the repair in the Customer Enthusiasm section
and update the Parts Information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 10-08-58-001D
(Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment on hearing excessive wind noise coming from the rear interior of
the vehicle.
Cause #1
This condition may be caused by a void in the body filler within the C-pillar.
Cause #2
This condition may be caused by the body rear panel acoustic insulator that is mounted behind the
rear seat. There is an access flap (1) in this panel that could cause excessive noise if the flap is not
fully seated/closed into the rest of the insulator material.
Also, starting in 2010, a new insulator was installed that may allow higher wind/road or other
acoustic noise that may be objectionable for some customers. Noise penetration into the cab can
be higher than a similarly equipped 2009, or earlier, model. As shown in the graphic above, note
that the service part insulator (1) is noticeably thicker than the original 2010 part (2).
Correction #1
Note
This repair is specific to 2007-2010 model years.

Important Prior to attempting a repair of the vehicle, it will be necessary to compare it to a like
vehicle in similar operating characteristics to determine if it should be considered normal operation
or a repairable condition.
1. To properly diagnose the C-pillar body filler issue, complete the following steps:
1. Close the all doors and windows of the vehicle. 2. Without starting the vehicle, turn the vehicle
ignition to the ON/RUN position. 3. Press the HVAC selector switch for Outside Air. 4. Turn the
HVAC Fan Control to Medium/High.
Note The air flow that is felt most commonly exits the lower C-pillar opening shown in the graphic
above.
5. Run your hand alongside the lower seam of the body at the base of the C-pillar and feel for air
flowing out of the bottom of the body. 6. Compare the air flow on the opposite side of the vehicle. If
one side exhibits a distinct higher amount of air flow, continue on to the next step
in this procedure to start the process of adding sealer to the C-pillar on that side. If no air flow
difference is found, skip ahead to Correction #2.
2. To access the inner C-pillar, remove the rear seat and the body lock pillar trim panel. Refer to
Body Lock Pillar Trim Replacement (Crew Cab) or
Body Lock Pillar Trim Replacement (Extended Cab) in SI.
Figure 1 - Outside View Through C-pillar
Figure 2 - Top View, Section Cut Through C-pillar
3. Inspect the inner baffle/foam within the C-pillar for any voids in the body filler. The examples
above show an opening (1) in the baffle at the
forward, inboard corner of the right side C-pillar.

4. If a void is found (1), fill it with seam sealer Kent Automotive High-Tech(TM) Clear Sealer, P/N
P10200 (5 oz. tube), or equivalent, to eliminate
the air flow escape concern.
5. Before reinstalling the trim, inspect the insulator mat that is mounted on the body rear inner
panel to ensure the access flap is fully seated/closed as
shown above.
6. Reinstall the trim panels and rear seat. Refer to Body Lock Pillar Trim Replacement (Crew Cab)
or Body Lock Pillar Trim Replacement
(Extended Cab) in SI.
Correction #2
Note
This repair is ONLY for 2010 models that have the original body rear panel insulator (pictured
above) and exhibit a higher noise penetration into the cab, when compared to a similarly equipped
2009, or earlier, model. Note that the insulator shape is flat across the bottom edge.
Tip
Before any repairs, you can visually verify which insulator the vehicle has by looking under the rear
seat on the right or left side. If you can see the body

color of the rear inner panel (shown circled above) below the insulator (1), the insulator is the
original design, which is trimmed straight across the bottom.
Order a service body rear panel insulator (pictured above), referencing the parts table below. Note
that the new insulator has an increased thickness and the height was extended on both ends.
R & R the rear seat and any necessary trim to replace the body rear panel insulator. Refer to Body
Rear Panel Insulator Replacement (Extended Cab/Crew Cab) in SI.
Further Repair for Customer Enthusiasm
Only in situations when the above repairs are completed and the customer is still commenting on
objectionable noise, the following additional steps can be done to sound-proof the body rear panel.
This additional sound-proofing should only be done in cases deemed necessary for customer
enthusiasm.
Note After this procedure has been performed, the vehicle needs to be re-assembled and
evaluated with the trim and rear seat fully installed in the vehicle. If the bulletin has been followed
properly, the noise should be reduced to a level quieter than stock 2011 models, and no further
repairs should be attempted.
It has been found that controlling the wind noise at the two pressure relief valve (PRV) locations is
the key to quieting the rear cab wind noise. The repair below has been found to be successful in
eliminating most of the objectionable noise.
1. R & R the rear seat and any necessary trim to remove the body rear panel insulator. Refer to

Subject: Excessive Wind Noise Coming from Rear Interior of Vehicle (Perform Repair as Outlined)
Models:
2007-2011 Chevrolet Silverado Crew Cab and Extended Cab 2007-2011 GMC Sierra Crew Cab
and Extended Cab
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the repair in the Customer Enthusiasm section
and update the Parts Information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 10-08-58-001D
(Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment on hearing excessive wind noise coming from the rear interior of
the vehicle.
Cause #1
This condition may be caused by a void in the body filler within the C-pillar.
Cause #2
This condition may be caused by the body rear panel acoustic insulator that is mounted behind the
rear seat. There is an access flap (1) in this panel that could cause excessive noise if the flap is not
fully seated/closed into the rest of the insulator material.
Also, starting in 2010, a new insulator was installed that may allow higher wind/road or other
acoustic noise that may be objectionable for some customers. Noise penetration into the cab can
be higher than a similarly equipped 2009, or earlier, model. As shown in the graphic above, note
that the service part insulator (1) is noticeably thicker than the original 2010 part (2).
Correction #1
Note
This repair is specific to 2007-2010 model years.

Important Prior to attempting a repair of the vehicle, it will be necessary to compare it to a like
vehicle in similar operating characteristics to determine if it should be considered normal operation
or a repairable condition.
1. To properly diagnose the C-pillar body filler issue, complete the following steps:
1. Close the all doors and windows of the vehicle. 2. Without starting the vehicle, turn the vehicle
ignition to the ON/RUN position. 3. Press the HVAC selector switch for Outside Air. 4. Turn the
HVAC Fan Control to Medium/High.
Note The air flow that is felt most commonly exits the lower C-pillar opening shown in the graphic
above.
5. Run your hand alongside the lower seam of the body at the base of the C-pillar and feel for air
flowing out of the bottom of the body. 6. Compare the air flow on the opposite side of the vehicle. If
one side exhibits a distinct higher amount of air flow, continue on to the next step
in this procedure to start the process of adding sealer to the C-pillar on that side. If no air flow
difference is found, skip ahead to Correction #2.
2. To access the inner C-pillar, remove the rear seat and the body lock pillar trim panel. Refer to
Body Lock Pillar Trim Replacement (Crew Cab) or
Body Lock Pillar Trim Replacement (Extended Cab) in SI.
Figure 1 - Outside View Through C-pillar
Figure 2 - Top View, Section Cut Through C-pillar
3. Inspect the inner baffle/foam within the C-pillar for any voids in the body filler. The examples
above show an opening (1) in the baffle at the
forward, inboard corner of the right side C-pillar.

Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Sound Proofing / Insulation: > 10-08-58-001E > Mar > 11 > Interior Excessive Wind Noise In Interior Of Vehicle > Page 16807
4. If a void is found (1), fill it with seam sealer Kent Automotive High-Tech(TM) Clear Sealer, P/N
P10200 (5 oz. tube), or equivalent, to eliminate
the air flow escape concern.
5. Before reinstalling the trim, inspect the insulator mat that is mounted on the body rear inner
panel to ensure the access flap is fully seated/closed as
shown above.
6. Reinstall the trim panels and rear seat. Refer to Body Lock Pillar Trim Replacement (Crew Cab)
or Body Lock Pillar Trim Replacement
(Extended Cab) in SI.
Correction #2
Note
This repair is ONLY for 2010 models that have the original body rear panel insulator (pictured
above) and exhibit a higher noise penetration into the cab, when compared to a similarly equipped
2009, or earlier, model. Note that the insulator shape is flat across the bottom edge.
Tip
Before any repairs, you can visually verify which insulator the vehicle has by looking under the rear
seat on the right or left side. If you can see the body

color of the rear inner panel (shown circled above) below the insulator (1), the insulator is the
original design, which is trimmed straight across the bottom.
Order a service body rear panel insulator (pictured above), referencing the parts table below. Note
that the new insulator has an increased thickness and the height was extended on both ends.
R & R the rear seat and any necessary trim to replace the body rear panel insulator. Refer to Body
Rear Panel Insulator Replacement (Extended Cab/Crew Cab) in SI.
Further Repair for Customer Enthusiasm
Only in situations when the above repairs are completed and the customer is still commenting on
objectionable noise, the following additional steps can be done to sound-proof the body rear panel.
This additional sound-proofing should only be done in cases deemed necessary for customer
enthusiasm.
Note After this procedure has been performed, the vehicle needs to be re-assembled and
evaluated with the trim and rear seat fully installed in the vehicle. If the bulletin has been followed
properly, the noise should be reduced to a level quieter than stock 2011 models, and no further
repairs should be attempted.
It has been found that controlling the wind noise at the two pressure relief valve (PRV) locations is
the key to quieting the rear cab wind noise. The repair below has been found to be successful in
eliminating most of the objectionable noise.
1. R & R the rear seat and any necessary trim to remove the body rear panel insulator. Refer to
Body Rear Panel Insulator Replacement (Extended
Cab/Crew Cab) in SI.

Condition
Some customers may comment that the roll up soft tonneau cover is too loose, or that the tonneau
cover latch is disengaging and not staying closed.
Two improvements have been implemented since the original release of the tonneau cover. Be
sure that the tonneau cover meets the criteria of the items below.
Cause #1
The condition may be caused by improper installation of one or more of the upper side rail clamps.
Using the outer groove (1) when a molded bed rail protector IS NOT installed may cause a gap (2)
between the pad and pickup box. This may also prevent proper latch retention.
Correction #1

A removable insert, shown above, was added to the outer groove of the upper side rail clamp to
help prevent improper positioning from unintentionally occurring.
Check that the clamps are properly installed using the correct groove in the upper side rail clamp.
Correct positioning is detailed in the illustration above.
Cause #2
The condition may be caused by the tonneau bows not falling into proper position when the
tonneau cover is rolled out. This cause would indicate that repositioning on an upper side rail clamp
is needed.
Correction #2
Note the position of the bows and use the appropriate repair below:
- If bows do not fit between the side rails and additional clearance is required, remove the clamp
nearest the interference. Remove the orange strip to allow access to the outer groove of the upper
clamp. Reinstall the clamp, using the outer groove of the upper clamp.
- If bows are too loose, adjust the clamp nearest the bow with excessive clearance to the inner
groove of the upper clamp.
Cause #3
This condition may be caused by a misalignment of the tonneau side rails and/or improper
adjustment of the forward tension screws. The graphic above shows a misalignment of the tonneau
side rail (1) to the front of the pickup box (2).
Correction #3
1. Verify that the tonneau side rails are aligned with the front of the pickup box as shown above.
2. Ensure that the side rails are aligned with each other in the same fore/aft position (1) on the
vehicle.

Vinyl contains unique thermal properties that cause it to expand in cold conditions and retract
during hot conditions. Under recommended install temperatures of 21°C (70°F), the tension screws
should be adjusted as shown below.
Important Be sure to adjust both sides to the same tension.
3. Inspect and verify that the tension screws are adjusted to the 4.76 mm (3/16 in) gap shown in
the illustration above. If adjustment is necessary to
tighten, turn the screw clockwise with the 1/4 inch key provided.
Cause #4
The condition may be caused by over travel of the latch during operation, causing the latch spring
to bind.
Correction #4
Note
A new design of the latch system now contains a latch stop (1) to limit the travel of the latch during
operation. This new latch stop prevents over travel and keeps the spring from binding.
Verify that the latch system contains a latch stop, noted in the illustration above. If the stop IS NOT
present, replace the latch system with latch spring stop service kit, P/N 19213898 and a new latch
assembly service kit, P/N 19201885.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-08-66-003 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the hard tonneau rear latch is not functioning properly or that
the tonneau cover is loose on the vehicle, causing noticeable movement during vehicle operation.
Cause
This condition may be caused by both sides of the latch not engaging or releasing at the same
time, or the tonneau frame may be misaligned.
Correction
Note
The tonneau cover latches contain multiple design features to accommodate for build variation of
the pickup box and tonneau cover.
Use the following repair process to obtain proper latch operation:
Inspect/Adjust Latch to Striker Loop Interface
Side to Side Adjustment
1. Lower the endgate. 2. Slowly lower the tonneau cover from the open to closed position. Use
caution not to drop or slam the tonneau cover closed as this may damage the
latch assembly.
3. Inspect the fit of the latch into the striker loop just before the U-shaped catch is engaged. The
latch should fit into the striker loop without
contacting any portion of the rear bracket or striker loop. If contact is observed, proceed with the
following steps:
1. Loosen the two nuts of the rotary latch that is making contact to the striker loop assembly with a
7/16 inch wrench. 2. Slide the rotary latch side to side until the latch freely falls into the rear striker
loop. 3. Tighten the rotary latch nuts to 2.26 Nm (20 lb in). 4. Inspect the operation of the latches by
turning the twist handle. If the latches do not close or release properly, adjust the latch wire per the
Inspect/Adjust Latch Release Operation section of this document.
Up and Down Adjustment
1. Lower the endgate. 2. Close the tonneau cover by pushing down on the panel near the twist
handle on the top of the tonneau cover. 3. Inspect the fit of the tonneau cover side seal to the
pickup box. If the seal does not have complete contact, lower the striker loop until the seal has
complete contact using the following steps:
1. Loosen the two 1/4 inch nuts that hold the striker plate to the rear bracket. 2. Lower the striker
loop. 3. Tighten the 1/4 inch nuts to 13.5 Nm (120 lb in). 4. Inspect for seal contact and repeat
procedure as necessary.
4. Close the endgate. 5. Close the tonneau cover by pushing down on the panel near the twist

7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 five more times to look for repeatability. If either one of the sides does not
engage, manually close the latch that did not
engage and inspect the latch closure of each side by wiggling each corner. Check for the following:
1. If one side is too loose and exhibiting excessive movement, lower the corresponding loop per
steps 3.1-3.4 in the Up and Down Adjustment
section above.
2. If one side requires excess manual efforts to close, raise the corresponding loop using the
following steps:
1. Loosen the two 1/4 inch nuts that hold the striker plate to the rear bracket. 2. Raise the striker
loop. 3. Tighten the 1/4 inch nuts to 13.5 Nm (120 lb in).
Inspect/Adjust Latch Release Operation
1. Open the tonneau cover. 2. Manually push the U-shaped catches closed for both sides of the
vehicle. If either one of the catches does not close, proceed with the following
steps:
1. Loosen the set screw of the cable bushing with a 5/64 inch allen wrench. 2. Push the cable
inboard from the end of cable to add length to the cable between the latch assembly and the lock
assembly. 3. Retighten the set screw.
Note Both latches should engage at the same time.
4. Inspect the timing of the latch engagement by manually closing the latches and twisting the lock
handle with the cover in the open position. If
the latches do not engage at the same time, repeat the above adjustment until they do.
3. Twist the handle and listen for the latches to release. If either one of the catches does not open,
proceed with the following steps:
1. Loosen the set screw of the cable bushing with a 5/64 inch allen wrench. 2. Pull the cable
outboard from the end of the cable to shorten the length of the cable between the latch assembly
and the lock assembly. 3. Retighten the set screw.
Note Both latches should release at the same time.
4. Inspect the timing of latch release. Repeat steps 3.1-3.3 above, adjusting the latch that releases
second, until both latches are releasing at the
same time.
Verify that the front frame is centered and squared onto the pickup box
1. Measure from the edge of the front panel sheet metal cross-car to the edge of the hinge clip on
both sides. Loosen hardware and adjust the frame
position side to side until it's centered.
2. Measure from the stack pocket to the end of the side frame on both sides. Loosen hardware and

Upper Side Rail Clamps and/or Rails and/or Replace Rear Latch)
Models:
2007-2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2007-2011 GMC Sierra
Attention:
This bulletin only applies to vehicles with tonneau part numbers 19213900, 19213901, 19213902,
19213903, 19213904 and 19213905.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-08-66-004 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the roll up soft tonneau cover is too loose, or that the tonneau
cover latch is disengaging and not staying closed.
Two improvements have been implemented since the original release of the tonneau cover. Be
sure that the tonneau cover meets the criteria of the items below.
Cause #1
The condition may be caused by improper installation of one or more of the upper side rail clamps.
Using the outer groove (1) when a molded bed rail protector IS NOT installed may cause a gap (2)
between the pad and pickup box. This may also prevent proper latch retention.
Correction #1
Note

A removable insert, shown above, was added to the outer groove of the upper side rail clamp to
help prevent improper positioning from unintentionally occurring.
Check that the clamps are properly installed using the correct groove in the upper side rail clamp.
Correct positioning is detailed in the illustration above.
Cause #2
The condition may be caused by the tonneau bows not falling into proper position when the
tonneau cover is rolled out. This cause would indicate that repositioning on an upper side rail clamp
is needed.
Correction #2
Note the position of the bows and use the appropriate repair below:
- If bows do not fit between the side rails and additional clearance is required, remove the clamp
nearest the interference. Remove the orange strip to allow access to the outer groove of the upper
clamp. Reinstall the clamp, using the outer groove of the upper clamp.
- If bows are too loose, adjust the clamp nearest the bow with excessive clearance to the inner
groove of the upper clamp.
Cause #3
This condition may be caused by a misalignment of the tonneau side rails and/or improper
adjustment of the forward tension screws. The graphic above shows a misalignment of the tonneau
side rail (1) to the front of the pickup box (2).
Correction #3
1. Verify that the tonneau side rails are aligned with the front of the pickup box as shown above.
2. Ensure that the side rails are aligned with each other in the same fore/aft position (1) on the
vehicle.

Vinyl contains unique thermal properties that cause it to expand in cold conditions and retract
during hot conditions. Under recommended install temperatures of 21°C (70°F), the tension screws
should be adjusted as shown below.
Important Be sure to adjust both sides to the same tension.
3. Inspect and verify that the tension screws are adjusted to the 4.76 mm (3/16 in) gap shown in
the illustration above. If adjustment is necessary to
tighten, turn the screw clockwise with the 1/4 inch key provided.
Cause #4
The condition may be caused by over travel of the latch during operation, causing the latch spring
to bind.
Correction #4
Note
A new design of the latch system now contains a latch stop (1) to limit the travel of the latch during
operation. This new latch stop prevents over travel and keeps the spring from binding.
Verify that the latch system contains a latch stop, noted in the illustration above. If the stop IS NOT
present, replace the latch system with latch spring stop service kit, P/N 19213898 and a new latch
assembly service kit, P/N 19201885.

Subject: One-Piece Hard Tonneau Cover Fits Loose on Vehicle or Rear Tonneau Latch Not
Functioning Properly (Adjust Rear Latch and Align Tonneau Cover)
Models:
2007-2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2007-2011 GMC Sierra
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-08-66-003 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the hard tonneau rear latch is not functioning properly or that
the tonneau cover is loose on the vehicle, causing noticeable movement during vehicle operation.
Cause
This condition may be caused by both sides of the latch not engaging or releasing at the same
time, or the tonneau frame may be misaligned.
Correction
Note
The tonneau cover latches contain multiple design features to accommodate for build variation of
the pickup box and tonneau cover.
Use the following repair process to obtain proper latch operation:
Inspect/Adjust Latch to Striker Loop Interface
Side to Side Adjustment
1. Lower the endgate. 2. Slowly lower the tonneau cover from the open to closed position. Use
caution not to drop or slam the tonneau cover closed as this may damage the
latch assembly.
3. Inspect the fit of the latch into the striker loop just before the U-shaped catch is engaged. The
latch should fit into the striker loop without
contacting any portion of the rear bracket or striker loop. If contact is observed, proceed with the
following steps:
1. Loosen the two nuts of the rotary latch that is making contact to the striker loop assembly with a
7/16 inch wrench. 2. Slide the rotary latch side to side until the latch freely falls into the rear striker
loop. 3. Tighten the rotary latch nuts to 2.26 Nm (20 lb in). 4. Inspect the operation of the latches by
turning the twist handle. If the latches do not close or release properly, adjust the latch wire per the
Inspect/Adjust Latch Release Operation section of this document.
Up and Down Adjustment
1. Lower the endgate. 2. Close the tonneau cover by pushing down on the panel near the twist
handle on the top of the tonneau cover. 3. Inspect the fit of the tonneau cover side seal to the
pickup box. If the seal does not have complete contact, lower the striker loop until the seal has
complete contact using the following steps:
1. Loosen the two 1/4 inch nuts that hold the striker plate to the rear bracket. 2. Lower the striker
loop. 3. Tighten the 1/4 inch nuts to 13.5 Nm (120 lb in). 4. Inspect for seal contact and repeat
procedure as necessary.
4. Close the endgate. 5. Close the tonneau cover by pushing down on the panel near the twist
handle on the top of the tonneau cover. 6. Inspect that both latches have engaged by lifting up on
the corner of the tonneau.

loop. 3. Tighten the 1/4 inch nuts to 13.5 Nm (120 lb in).
Inspect/Adjust Latch Release Operation
1. Open the tonneau cover. 2. Manually push the U-shaped catches closed for both sides of the
vehicle. If either one of the catches does not close, proceed with the following
steps:
1. Loosen the set screw of the cable bushing with a 5/64 inch allen wrench. 2. Push the cable
inboard from the end of cable to add length to the cable between the latch assembly and the lock
assembly. 3. Retighten the set screw.
Note Both latches should engage at the same time.
4. Inspect the timing of the latch engagement by manually closing the latches and twisting the lock
handle with the cover in the open position. If
the latches do not engage at the same time, repeat the above adjustment until they do.
3. Twist the handle and listen for the latches to release. If either one of the catches does not open,
proceed with the following steps:
1. Loosen the set screw of the cable bushing with a 5/64 inch allen wrench. 2. Pull the cable
outboard from the end of the cable to shorten the length of the cable between the latch assembly
and the lock assembly. 3. Retighten the set screw.
Note Both latches should release at the same time.
4. Inspect the timing of latch release. Repeat steps 3.1-3.3 above, adjusting the latch that releases
second, until both latches are releasing at the
same time.
Verify that the front frame is centered and squared onto the pickup box
1. Measure from the edge of the front panel sheet metal cross-car to the edge of the hinge clip on
both sides. Loosen hardware and adjust the frame
position side to side until it's centered.

The pickup box was designed for the use of add-on equipment. However there are specific
mounting points that must be used along with weight restrictions, refer to the following: Chart 1 Weight Restrictions for Pickup Box Add-Ons. Structural members have been added to provide load
paths directly to the platform cross-sills and into the vehicle frame. Aftermarket accessories should
take advantage of these intended load paths as detailed below in Figures 1-4. Depending on the
accessory design, it may be necessary to add some form of a spacer under the accessories at the
structural hard points to take up any gap. Do not use the GM Cargo Management Option mounting
points for attaching anything other than the GM Cargo Management system as referenced in
Figure 5.

Some customers may comment about side door wind noise, water leaks or door fit concerns.
These concerns may appear to be related to the body mounted primary door opening
weatherstrips.
As a result of feedback received from engineering information, we have found that many
replacements of the primary door opening weatherstrip are for issues not related to the primary
door opening weatherstrip. The instructions below are a guide to help "root cause" the customer's
concern and obtain the proper direction for repair.
Recommendation
Note:
If the seal is properly installed, it will not cause a Windnoise. If mis-installed, the seal could create a
Windnoise that can be corrected by re-installing the seal.
If the condition is for Windnoise, please view the training courses on this subject and follow the
proper diagnostics outlined in courses 10210.01D 2010 SKH Seminar Jan Emerging Issues,.02D
(Feb),.03D (March) (3 Parts) (Emerging Issues programs available to U.S. dealers only). If the
condition is specific to an itch noise, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 06-08-64-035F to correct
that concern.
If diagnosing a water leak, please follow information supplied in Corporate Bulletin Number
09-08-57-002B.
For door fit concerns, or if the seal is loose or exhibits a poor appearance, inspect for even
retention around the door. If the seal pulls off too easily, the channel crimp may be wide/loose as
shown between the dashed lines in the graphic above.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to communicate feedback received from engineering
information and add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number
09-08-64-012B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Some customers may comment about side door wind noise, water leaks or door fit concerns.
These concerns may appear to be related to the body mounted primary door opening
weatherstrips.
As a result of feedback received from engineering information, we have found that many
replacements of the primary door opening weatherstrip are for issues not related to the primary
door opening weatherstrip. The instructions below are a guide to help "root cause" the customer's
concern and obtain the proper direction for repair.
Recommendation
Note:
If the seal is properly installed, it will not cause a Windnoise. If mis-installed, the seal could create a
Windnoise that can be corrected by re-installing the seal.
If the condition is for Windnoise, please view the training courses on this subject and follow the
proper diagnostics outlined in courses 10210.01D 2010 SKH Seminar Jan Emerging Issues,.02D
(Feb),.03D (March) (3 Parts) (Emerging Issues programs available to U.S. dealers only). If the
condition is specific to an itch noise, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 06-08-64-035F to correct
that concern.
If diagnosing a water leak, please follow information supplied in Corporate Bulletin Number
09-08-57-002B.
For door fit concerns, or if the seal is loose or exhibits a poor appearance, inspect for even
retention around the door. If the seal pulls off too easily, the channel crimp may be wide/loose as
shown between the dashed lines in the graphic above.

Bulletin Number 09-03-10-008A (Section 03 - Suspension).
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide a summary of the steps required for the technician to
install LPO dealer installed 20/22 inch accessory wheels on a full-size utility or pickup.
These wheel options are identified with the RPO code RPP (this designates the 17" wheel and tire
that will be removed by the dealer).
The following RPO codes designate the 20 inch or 22 inch accessory wheel that will be installed by
the dealer: VSA, VSB, VSC, VSF, VS3, VZJ, VZK, VS5, VS4, VSJ, VSK, VZH, VSN, VS8.
Vehicles with option RPP always require the following installation steps:
1. Install new accessory tire/wheel assemblies to the vehicle. 2. Reprogram the control modules for
the new tire/wheel size (steps 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 must be completed in order).
1. Contact TCSC to set-up the calibration database for the new tire size. 2. For 2009 and 2010
models, reprogram the EBCM (Electronic Brake Control Module) - use Tech 2(R) pass-thru
programming in the Service
Programming System (SPS).
3. Reprogram the ECM (Engine Control Module) - use Tech 2 pass-thru programming in the
Service Programming System (SPS).
3. Reset the tire type and pressure.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) to perform a module set up for the RCDLR Module. Go to "Tire
Type/Pressure Selection". 2. Select correct tire type (P-metric) and select the new tire pressure
based on the new tire placard included with the accessory wheels.
4. Learn the new tire pressure monitor (TPM) sensors to the vehicle. 5. Install the new tire placard
included with the accessory wheels. 6. Set the inflation pressure of each tire to the new placard
value.
For additional information on this process, please refer to Corporate Bulletin 06-03-10-001G (SUV)
or 06-03-10-011F (Pickup).

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Probing Electrical Connectors
Probing Electrical Connectors
Note: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position
assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals.
Front probe
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

Page 17082
Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector.
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
Note: When probing female 0.64 terminals, it is important to use the correct adapter. There have
been some revisions to the test adapter for 0.64 terminals. The proper adapter for 0.64 terminals is
the J-35616-64B which has a gold terminal and a black wire between the base and tip. Failure to
use the proper test adapter may result in damage to the terminal being tested and improper
diagnosis.
Note: The proper adapter for probing the terminals for fuses, relays, or diodes in an electrical
center is J-35616-35. Using any other tool or adapter may damage the terminal being tested.
Refer to the following table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for front probing
connectors:
Backprobe
Note:
* Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
* Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire

(dock and lock) connector.
* Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
* After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.
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.

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
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))

Page 17085
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Cruise Control > System Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions >
Page 17086
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.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Cruise Control > System Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions >
Page 17087
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
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Cruise Control > System Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions >
Page 17088
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.

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.
* Most of AFLs connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will
not have any markings on them.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Cruise Control > System Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions >
Page 17105
* In some cases Bosch will actually be printed on the connector. If Bosch does not appear on the
connector, look for the Bosch logo. The Bosch logo is a circle with a blunted arrow inside. This logo
can appear anywhere on the connector and is often very small.
* In some cases Delphi will actually be printed on the connector. If Delphi is not printed on the
connector, look for PED. In both cases there is no specific orientation for Delphi or PED and they
can appear anywhere on the connector.

* Most Molex connectors will have the Molex logo on the dresscover of the connector. In some
cases the connectors may have MX followed by another letter. The third letter indicates where the
connector was made. A connector with MXD is a Molex connector made in Detroit.
Sumitomo has a unique symbol on their connector and possibly a part number. The symbol is
similar to that of a diamond lying on its side, similar to that shown. The logo could appear anywhere
but the most common place is at the wire side of the housing.
* Tyco/AMP has many different and unique connector designs. Some may or may not have
identifiable marks on them.

Repair Procedure
Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals.
The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping.
In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed.
The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool
has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped.
The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same
time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair
Micro 64 terminals.
Note: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long
enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough,
splice a small length of the same gauge wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on
the added wire.
1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation
from the wire.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-6.0L (2010))
Chevrolet Workshop Manuals > Cruise Control > System Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions >
Page 17117
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely
visible.
4. Insert terminal into the appropriate terminal holder until it hits bottom and stops. The correct
terminal holder is determined by the wire size. Also
ensure that the terminals wings are pointing towards the former on the tool and the release locator.
5. Insert the stripped cable into the terminal. Insulation should be visible on both sides of the
terminal insulation wings. 6. Compress the handles until the ratchet automatically releases. 7.
Place the terminal into the appropriate cavity and assemble the connector.

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

8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat
procedure for the other side of the dress cover and
remove the cover.
9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the
back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. See the release tool cross reference in the
Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
10. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the
wire out of the front of the connector instead of
pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal
is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire
through the connector.
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when
crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was
developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W
terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the
terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the
connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.

Page 17122
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long
enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough,
splice a small length of the same gauge wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on
the added wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal
holder is completely visible.
4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp
tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect
the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than
the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the
emergency release to open applicator.
