6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the
middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper
handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing:
- The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
- A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-C if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA
ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to
ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the
plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated
in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a
terminal for replacement.
Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

1. Open the harness.
- If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
- To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
- If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire.
2. Cut the wire.
- Cut as little wire off the harness as possible.
- Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and
connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage.
3. Select the proper size and type of wire.
- The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link).
- The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating.

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

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

Condition
General Motors has decided that a detect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain
2004 Buick Rainier and GMC Envoy XUV; 2003-2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer, TrailBlazer EXT; GMC
Envoy, Envoy XL; and Oldsmobile Bravada vehicles. Some of these vehicles have an intermittent
condition in which the turn signals may not operate as designed. Material build up on the flasher
relay may cause the turn signals to flash on both sides of the vehicle when activated similar to
hazard warning flashers, or they may illuminate and remain illuminated instead of flashing. The
instrument panel would indicate the incorrect operation if this were to occur. Incorrect operation of
the turn signal indicator could fail to warn others of the driver's intentions and could lead to a
vehicle crash.
Correction
Dealers are to replace the flasher relay module.

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

Attention:
Complete wheel changing instructions for each vehicle line can be found under Tire and Wheel
Removal and Installation in Service Information (SI). This bulletin is intended to quickly review and
reinforce simple but vital procedures to reduce the possibility of achieving low torque during wheel
installation. Always refer to SI for wheel lug nut torque specifications and complete jacking
instructions for safe wheel changing.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to include the 2011 model year and update the available
special tool list. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-03-10-010 (Section 03 Suspension).
Frequency of Wheel Changes - Marketplace Driven
Just a few years ago, the increasing longevity of tires along with greater resistance to punctures
had greatly reduced the number of times wheels were removed to basically required tire rotation
intervals. Today with the booming business in accessory wheels/special application tires (such as
winter tires), consumers are having tire/wheel assemblies removed - replaced - or installed more
than ever. With this increased activity, it opens up more of a chance for error on the part of the
technician. This bulletin will review a few of the common concerns and mistakes to make yourself
aware of.
Proper Servicing Starts With the Right Tools
The following tools have been made available to assist in proper wheel and tire removal and
installation.
- J 41013 Rotor Resurfacing Kit (or equivalent)
- J 42450-A Wheel Hub Resurfacing Kit (or equivalent)
Corroded Surfaces
One area of concern is corrosion on the mating surfaces of the wheel to the hub on the vehicle.
Excessive corrosion, dirt, rust or debris built up on these surfaces can mimic a properly tightened
wheel in the service stall. Once the vehicle is driven, the debris may loosen, grind up or be washed
away from water splash. This action may result in clearance at the mating surface of the wheel and
an under-torqued condition.
Caution
Before installing a wheel, remove any buildup on the wheel mounting surface and brake drum or
brake disc mounting surface. Installing wheels with poor metal-to-metal contact at the mounting
surfaces can cause wheel nuts to loosen. This may cause a wheel to come off when the vehicle is
moving, possibly resulting in a loss of control or personal injury.
Whenever you remove the tire/wheel assemblies, you must inspect the mating surfaces. If
corrosion is found, you should remove the debris with a die grinder equipped with a fine sanding
pad, wire brush or cleaning disc. Just remove enough material to assure a clean, smooth mating
surface.
The J 41013 (or equivalent) can be used to clean the following surfaces:
- The hub mounting surface
- The brake rotor mounting surface
- The wheel mounting surface
Use the J 42450-A (or equivalent) to clean around the base of the studs and the hub.

IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked
polyethylene with PVC. Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace
wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact.
4. Strip the insulation.
- Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-C in order to
determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold
them between thumb and forefinger.
7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place.
- Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.
- Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip.
8. Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool
closes. Ensure that no strands of wire are cut.
10. Crimp the splice on each end (2).

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.

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

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-06-04-048A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion
System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that, after severe weather that includes large amounts of rain in a
short period of time, the engine has a rough idle and/or flashing MIL/SES light. Upon further
investigation, there may be the following DTC(s): P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305 or
P0306.
This condition can be aggravated if the vehicle is parked nose down on an incline during this type
of weather. The customer may also comment on repeat occurrences of this condition because
water may be passing over the Air Intake Plenum (AIP).
Cause
The dripping rain water onto the engine cam cover will collect at the coil(s) and may seep past the
coil(s) into the spark plug(s) well of the cylinder head and may affect the operation of the spark
plug(s) and coil(s), causing the misfire(s).
Correction
Before replacing the AIP seal, refer to Misfire diagnostics in SI to determine if water intrusion was
the cause of the misfire.
Diagnostic Aids for Misfire
Refer to SI for Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine Noises.
If no trouble found (NTF) using SI document on Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine
Noises, then refer to SI for Misfire DTC(s).
If Misfire diagnostic leads to the removal of the coil(s) and spark plug(s), refer to the following SI
Documents:
Air Cleaner Outlet Resonator Replacement
Ignition Coil Replacement Removal Procedure
Spark Plug Replacement
Coil(s) damage from water intrusion will have a film of white chalk build-up on the outside and
inside of the spark plug boot to ignition coil(s) assembly. If present, remove the spark plug(s) and
inspect for similar build-up on the outside of the spark plug(s).
If NTF with the coil(s) and spark plug(s), continue on with the Misfire Diagnostic in SI.
Replace any coil and spark plug that has been diagnosed to be damaged from water intrusion. To
prevent a reoccurrence, follow repair information outlined in this bulletin to replace the AIP seal.

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.

It is possible that a fracture as small as 0.508 mm (0.020 in) may be found in the fuel tank filler
neck, causing a DTC P0440, P0455 and/or P0442 to set. Due to the location above the liquid fuel
level, this small fracture will not cause a visible fluid leak.
The technician should pay particular attention to the fuel tank filler neck area while performing the
smoke test outlined in SI. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information for P0440, P0455 and/or
P0442 in SI.
When performing the smoke test outlined in SI, it may be necessary for the technician to
manipulate the fuel tank filler neck in order to see smoke escaping from this minute fracture.

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

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

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.

Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6.
If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is
a short to ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2.
Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across
the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered).
- When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
- If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter
TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
The J 39200 instruction Data is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is
present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with
a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance
that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
- Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving.
- Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a
component or to other harnesses.
- If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used in
order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.

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

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

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

Bulletin No.: 05-03-08-002C
Date: October 16, 2009
Subject: Information on Replacement of Shock Absorbers and Struts Due to Fluid Leaks
Models:
2010 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn) 2010 and Prior HUMMER H2,
H3 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 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.
Shock Absorbers
Do Not Replace shock absorbers displaying condition 1 or 2 levels of seepage.
1. Oil or fluid residue only on the bottom or top of the shock absorber and not originating from the
shaft seal (the upper part of the lower shock tube). 2. Light film/residue on approximately 1/3 (a) or
less of the lower shock tube (A) and originating from the shaft seal.
Replace shock absorbers displaying conditions 3 and 4 levels of leaks.
3. Oil drip or trail down the lower shock tube and originating from the shaft seal. 4. An extreme wet
film of oil covering more than 1/3 (b) of the lower shock tube and originating from the shaft seal.

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

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

Oil Pressure Testing
Tools Required J 21867 Pressure Gauge and Hose
- J 42907 Oil Pressure Tester Adapter
If the vehicle has low oil pressure perform the following tests.
1. Check the oil level. 2. Raise the vehicle and remove the oil filter. 3. Assemble the plunger valve
in the large hole of J42907 (1) base and the hose in the small hole of J42907 (1) base. Connect the
J21867 (2) to the
end of the hose.
4. Insert the flat side of the rubber plug in the bypass valve without depressing the bypass valve
itself.
5. Install J42907 (1) on the filter mounting pad. 6. Start the engine and check the overall oil
pressure and the oil pressure switch. The engine should be at operating temperature before
checking the
oil pressure. The oil pressure should be approximately 85 kPa (12 psi) at 1200 rpm using 5W30
engine oil.
7. If adequate oil pressure is indicated, check the oil pressure switch. 8. If a low reading is
indicated, press the valve on the tester base to isolate the oil pump and/or its components from the
lubricating system. An
adequate reading at this time indicates a good pump and the previous low pressure was due to
worn bearings, etc. A low reading while pressing the

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

Dealer Recall Responsibility - For US and Export (US States, Territories, and Possessions)
The US National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act provides that each vehicle which is subject to
a recall of this type must be adequately repaired within a reasonable time after the customer has
tendered it for repair. A failure to repair within sixty days after tender of a vehicle is prima facie
evidence of failure to repair within a reasonable time. If the condition is not adequately repaired
within a reasonable time, the customer may be entitled to an identical or reasonably equivalent
vehicle at no charge or to a refund of the purchase price less a reasonable allowance for
depreciation. To avoid having to provide these burdensome remedies, every effort must be made
to promptly schedule an appointment with each customer and to repair their vehicle as soon as
possible. In the recall notification letters, customers are told how to contact the US National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration if the recall is not completed within a reasonable time.
Dealer Recall Responsibility - All
All unsold new vehicles in dealers, possession and subject to this recall MUST be held and
inspected/repaired per the service procedure of this recall bulletin BEFORE customers take
possession of these vehicles.
Dealers are to service all vehicles subject to this recall at no charge to customers, regardless of
mileage, age of vehicle, or ownership, from this time forward.

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

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

Condition
Some customers may comment that the A/C system is intermittently inoperative or blows warm air.
Cause
An intermittent inoperative (open) A/C low pressure cycling switch may be the cause. This is an
intermittent condition and temperatures may play a critical role if the vehicle is in the failed mode or
operating as designed.
Correction
Follow the diagnosis and service procedure below to correct this condition.
1. Park the vehicle inside or in the shade.
2. Open the windows in order to ventilate the interior of the vehicle.
3. If the A/C system was operating, allow the A/C system to equalize.
4. Turn OFF the ignition.
5. Open the hood and install fender covers.
Caution:
^ Avoid breathing the A/C Refrigerant 134a (R-134a) and the lubricant vapor or the mist. Exposure
may irritate the eyes, nose, and throat. Work in a well ventilated area. In order to remove R-134a
from the A/C system, use service equipment that is certified to meet the requirements of SAE J
2210 (R-134a recycling equipment). If an accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate the work
area before continuing service. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from the
refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
^ For personal protection, goggles and gloves should be worn and a clean cloth wrapped around
fittings, valves, and connections when doing work that includes opening the refrigerant system. If
R-134a comes in contact with any part of the body severe frostbite and personal injury can result.
The exposed area should be flushed immediately with cold water and prompt medical help should
be obtained.
Note:
^ R-134a is the only approved refrigerant for use in this vehicle. The use of any other refrigerant
may result in poor system performance or component failure.
^ To avoid system damage use only R-134a dedicated tools when servicing the A/C system.
^ Use only Polyalkylene Glycol Synthetic Refrigerant Oil (PAG) for internal circulation through the
R-134a A/C system and only 525 viscosity mineral oil on fitting threads and 0-rings. If lubricants
other than those specified are used, compressor failure and/or fitting seizure may result.
^ R-12 refrigerant and R-134a refrigerant must never be mixed, even in the smallest of amounts, as
they are incompatible with each other. If the refrigerants are mixed, compressor failure is likely to
occur. Refer to the manufacturer instructions included with the service equipment

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 05-06-02-001A
Date: July 16, 2008
Subject: Information On Aluminum Heater Core and/or Radiator Replacement
Models: 2005 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2003-2005
HUMMER H2
Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to update the Warranty Information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 05-06-02-001 (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
Important:
2004-05 Chevrolet Aveo (Pontiac Wave, Canada Only) does not use DEX-COOL(R). Refer to the
flushing procedure explained later in this bulletin.
The following information should be utilized when servicing aluminum heater core and/or radiators
on repeat visits. A replacement may be necessary because erosion, corrosion, or insufficient
inhibitor levels may cause damage to the heater core, radiator or water pump. A coolant check
should be performed whenever a heater core, radiator, or water pump is replaced. The following
procedures/ inspections should be done to verify proper coolant effectiveness.
Caution:
To avoid being burned, do not remove the radiator cap or surge tank cap while the engine is hot.
The cooling system will release scalding fluid and steam under pressure if the radiator cap or surge
tank cap is removed while the engine and radiator are still hot.
Important:
If the vehicle's coolant is low, drained out, or the customer has repeatedly added coolant or water
to the system, then the system should be completely flushed using the procedure explained later in
this bulletin.
Technician Diagnosis
^ Verify coolant concentration. A 50% coolant/water solution ensures proper freeze and corrosion
protection. Inhibitor levels cannot be easily measured in the field, but can be indirectly done by the
measurement of coolant concentration. This must be done by using a Refractometer J 23688
(Fahrenheit scale) or J 26568 (centigrade scale), or equivalent, coolant tester. The Refractometer
uses a minimal amount of coolant that can be taken from the coolant recovery reservoir, radiator or
the engine block. Inexpensive gravity float testers (floating balls) will not completely analyze the
coolant concentration fully and should not be used. The concentration levels should be between
50% and 65% coolant concentrate. This mixture will have a freeze point protection of -34 degrees
Fahrenheit (-37 degrees Celsius). If the concentration is below 50%, the cooling system must be
flushed.
^ Inspect the coolant flow restrictor if the vehicle is equipped with one. Refer to Service Information
(SI) and/or the appropriate Service Manual for component location and condition for operation.
^ Verify that no electrolysis is present in the cooling system. This electrolysis test can be performed
before or after the system has been repaired. Use a digital voltmeter set to 12 volts. Attach one test
lead to the negative battery post and insert the other test lead into the radiator coolant, making sure
the lead does not touch the filler neck or core. Any voltage reading over 0.3 volts indicates that
stray current is finding its way into the coolant. Electrolysis is often an intermittent condition that
occurs when a device or accessory that is mounted to the radiator is energized. This type of current
could be caused from a poorly grounded cooling fan or some other accessory and can be verified
by watching the volt meter and turning on and off various accessories or engage the starter motor.
Before using one of the following flush procedures, the coolant recovery reservoir must be
removed, drained, cleaned and reinstalled before refilling the system.
Notice:
^ Using coolant other than DEX‐COOL(R) may cause premature engine, heater core or
radiator corrosion. In addition, the engine coolant may require changing sooner, at 30,000 miles
(50,000 km) or 24 months, whichever occurs first. Any repairs would not be covered by your
warranty. Always use DEX‐COOL(R) (silicate free) coolant in your vehicle.
^ If you use an improper coolant mixture, your engine could overheat and be badly damaged. The
repair cost would not be covered by your warranty. Too much water in the mixture can freeze and
crack the engine, radiator, heater core and other parts.

before servicing.
6. Install the J 43600 ACR 2000 Air Conditioning Service Center.
Important:
^ The ambient temperature must be at least 16°C (60°F).
^ Do not induce additional air flow across the front of the vehicle during the test.
7. Record the ambient temperature displayed on the J 43600.
8. Record readings of the low and high side STATIC pressures. The pressures should be within the
specifications listed below.
^ Above 16°C (60°F): 345 kPa (50 psi)
^ Above 24°C (75°F): 483 kPa (70 psi)
^ Above 33°C (90°F): 690 kPa (100 psi)
^ If the static pressures are within specification, continue with Step 12.
^ If the static pressures are NOT within specifications, refer to Leak Testing (SI Document ID #
1141201).
9. Apply the parking brake.
10. Place the transaxle/transmission in PARK.

AIR DELIVERY
DEFROST ACTUATOR
The defrost actuator is a 5 wire bi-directional electric motor that incorporates a feedback
potentiometer. Ignition 3 voltage, low reference, control, 5 volt reference and position signal circuits
enable the actuator to operate. The control circuit uses either a 0, 2.5 or 5 volt signal to command
the actuator movement. When the actuator is at rest, the control circuit value is 2.5 volts. A 0 or 5
volt control signal commands the actuator movement in opposite directions. When the actuator
shaft rotates, the potentiometer's adjustable contact changes the door position signal between 0-5
volts.
The HVAC control module uses a range of 0-255 counts to index the actuator position. The door
position signal voltage is converted to a 0-255 count range.When the module sets a commanded,
or targeted, value, the control signal is changed to either 0 or 5 volts depending upon the direction
that the actuator needs to rotate to reach the commanded value. As the actuator shaft rotates the
changing position signal is sent to the module. Once the position signal and the commanded value
are the same, the module changes the control signal to 2.5 volts.
MODE ACTUATOR
The mode actuator is a 5 wire bi-directional electric motor that incorporates a feedback
potentiometer. Ignition 3 voltage, low reference, control, 5 volt reference and position signal circuits
enable the actuator to operate. The control circuit uses either a 0, 2.5 or 5 volt signal to command
the actuator movement. When the actuator is at rest, the control circuit value is 2.5 volts. A 0 or 5
volt control signal commands the actuator movement in opposite directions. When the actuator
shaft rotates, the potentiometer's adjustable contact changes the door position signal between 0-5
volts.
The HVAC control module uses a range of 0-255 counts to index the actuator position. The door
position signal voltage is converted to a 0-255 count range.When the module sets a commanded,
or targeted, value, the control signal is changed to either 0 or 5 volts depending upon the direction
that the actuator needs to rotate to reach the commanded value. As the actuator shaft rotates the
changing position signal is sent to the module. Once the position signal and the commanded value
are the same, the module changes the control signal to 2.5 volts.
The mode actuator is an electronic stepper motor with feedback potentiometers. The HVAC control
module sends signals to the mode door actuator through the mode door control circuit. Zero volts
drives the actuator in one direction while 5-volts moves the actuator in the opposite direction. When
the actuator receives 2.5 volts, the actuator rotation stops. A 5-volt reference signal is sent out over
the 5-volt reference circuit to the mode actuator. When you select a desired mode setting, logic
determines the value of the mode actuator signals. The HVAC control module's software uses this
reference voltage in order to determine the position of the mode actuator through the mode door
position signal circuit. The motor moves the mode door to the desired position.
DEFROST ACTUATOR
The defrost actuator operates the same as the mode actuator. The HVAC control module sends
signals to the mode door actuator through the defrost door control circuit. Zero volts drives the
actuator in one direction while 5-volts moves the actuator in the opposite direction. When the
actuator receives 2.5 volts, the actuator rotation stops. A 5-volt reference signal is sent out over the
5-volt reference circuit to the defrost actuator. When you select a defrost setting, logic determines
the value of the defrost actuator signals. The HVAC control module's software uses this reference
voltage in order to determine the position of the mode actuator through the defrost door position
signal circuit. The motor moves the defrost door to the desired position.
AIR TEMPERATURE
AIR TEMPERATURE ACTUATOR
The air temperature actuators are a 5 wire bi-directional electric motor that incorporates a feedback
potentiometer. Ignition 3 voltage, low reference, control,5 volt reference and position signal circuits
enable the actuator to operate. The control circuit uses either a 0, 2.5 or 5 volt signal to command
the actuator movement. When the actuator is at rest, the control circuit value is 2.5 volts. A 0 or 5
volt control signal commands the actuator movement in opposite directions. When the actuator
shaft rotates, the potentiometer's adjustable contact changes the door position signal between 0-5

position signal voltage is converted to a 0-255 count range.When the module sets a commanded,
or targeted, value, the control signal is changed to either 0 or 5 volts depending upon the direction
that the actuator needs to rotate to reach the commanded value. As the actuator shaft rotates the
changing position signal is sent to the module. Once the position signal and the commanded value
are the same, the module changes the control signal to 2.5 volts.

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add the new part numbers for the Spark Plugs and Ignition Coils.
Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-06-04-048A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion
System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that, after severe weather that includes large amounts of rain in a
short period of time, the engine has a rough idle and/or flashing MIL/SES light. Upon further
investigation, there may be the following DTC(s): P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305 or
P0306.
This condition can be aggravated if the vehicle is parked nose down on an incline during this type
of weather. The customer may also comment on repeat occurrences of this condition because
water may be passing over the Air Intake Plenum (AIP).
Cause
The dripping rain water onto the engine cam cover will collect at the coil(s) and may seep past the
coil(s) into the spark plug(s) well of the cylinder head and may affect the operation of the spark
plug(s) and coil(s), causing the misfire(s).
Correction
Before replacing the AIP seal, refer to Misfire diagnostics in SI to determine if water intrusion was
the cause of the misfire.
Diagnostic Aids for Misfire
Refer to SI for Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine Noises.
If no trouble found (NTF) using SI document on Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine
Noises, then refer to SI for Misfire DTC(s).
If Misfire diagnostic leads to the removal of the coil(s) and spark plug(s), refer to the following SI
Documents:
Air Cleaner Outlet Resonator Replacement
Ignition Coil Replacement Removal Procedure
Spark Plug Replacement
Coil(s) damage from water intrusion will have a film of white chalk build-up on the outside and
inside of the spark plug boot to ignition coil(s) assembly. If present, remove the spark plug(s) and
inspect for similar build-up on the outside of the spark plug(s).
If NTF with the coil(s) and spark plug(s), continue on with the Misfire Diagnostic in SI.
Replace any coil and spark plug that has been diagnosed to be damaged from water intrusion. To
prevent a reoccurrence, follow repair information outlined in this bulletin to replace the AIP seal.
To prevent a repeat occurrence of the above condition, Do Not return the vehicle to the customer
without replacing the AIP seal if water intrusion was determined to be the cause.
If water intrusion was determined to be the cause for the replacement of the spark plug(s) and/or
coil(s), the AIP seal should be replaced.
Installation of AIP Seal
To prevent a reoccurrence, the revised AIP seal will redirect the rain water flow away from the
engine cam cover area. The following repair information

Condition
General Motors has decided that a detect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain
2004 Buick Rainier and GMC Envoy XUV; 2003-2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer, TrailBlazer EXT; GMC
Envoy, Envoy XL; and Oldsmobile Bravada vehicles. Some of these vehicles have an intermittent
condition in which the turn signals may not operate as designed. Material build up on the flasher
relay may cause the turn signals to flash on both sides of the vehicle when activated similar to
hazard warning flashers, or they may illuminate and remain illuminated instead of flashing. The
instrument panel would indicate the incorrect operation if this were to occur. Incorrect operation of
the turn signal indicator could fail to warn others of the driver's intentions and could lead to a
vehicle crash.
Correction
Dealers are to replace the flasher relay module.

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

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

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

- 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

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

Do NOT replace an EV fan unless a specific condition related to the EV fan is identified using SI
diagnostics. If the fan has a condition that warrants replacement, a DTC should set and/or SI
diagnostics should lead to the replacement of the fan clutch.
If the fan is not operating at the proper speed/function, the appropriate diagnostic trouble code
should set.
Identify the root cause of the condition. Please make sure to do a thorough review of SI for proper
diagnostics. Several Service Bulletins and Preliminary Information are available on SI regarding the
EV fan.
Refer to "Operating Characteristics" and "Diagnostic Tips" in this bulletin for additional information.
Operating Characteristics of the Electro-Viscous (EV) Fan Clutch
Changes to the EV fan clutch to improve the HVAC performance basically increase airflow in
certain conditions. It is now possible during start up for the EV fan clutch to be engaged and match
engine speed for about 1 minute depending on driving speeds (with lower speeds having a longer
disengagement time) producing some noise/flare. The noise/flare will most likely be intermittent
and can be dependent on the following conditions:
^ Fan clutch valve orientation, with check ball at 11:00 position as viewed from front of vehicle
when the engine is stopped.
^ HVAC or powertrain cooling conditions when the vehicle is shut off.
^ Parking incline - vehicles parked nose up on a 16% or higher incline (such as vehicles coming off
transport or parked on steep driveways) may have prolonged fan noise/flare until the fluid is
pumped out of the working chamber of the fan. These conditions can occur in as little as ten
minutes. Once the vehicle is not parked in these conditions, it should operate as expected.
^ Please note that if the vehicle is parked nose down with a 16% or more decline, the EV fan clutch
may have a delayed engagement response similar to what is described in Corporate Bulletin
Number 04-01-38-019A.
Important:
Do not replace EV fan clutches for these conditions listed above; they are expected vehicle
characteristics. If the fan clutch is truly operating at a speed higher than intended, a DTC P0495 or
P1484 should set. Additional codes are available for other conditions.
Diagnostic Tips
Depending on the vehicle year, the Tech 2(R) may allow some EV fan control using the special
functions application of the Tech 2 (refer to the proper SI documentation). If this function or a fused
jumper wire is being used to check EV fan response, there may be a delay in fan response (up to
2-3 minutes depending on conditions, please refer to SI diagnostics).
The desired fan speed and actual fan speed data (on the Tech 2(R)) can be misleading. The
desired fan speed is comprised of the maximum of multiple parameters (for example engine
coolant temp, A/C pressure, etc.) and may not be the ruling desired fan speed parameter. The end
result may be that the actual desired fan speed is lower than what is displayed.
Additionally, the desired fan speed may be higher than the current engine speed. The fan is limited
by the current engine RPM and will max out at about 3500 RPM under full manual fan engagement
request along with a corresponding engine RPM speed. The 4.2L 1-6 (LL8) engine's desired and
actual fan speeds will usually be closer to each other than the 5.3L V-8 (LM4 or LH6) or the 6.0L
V-8 (LS2).

Date: June 30, 2004
TECHNICAL
Subject: Service Engine Soon (SES) Light On, Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0706, Gear
Range Indicator Incorrect/Inaccurate, No Start (Reprogram Powertrain Control Module (PCM))
Models: 2003 Chevrolet and GMC Light Duty Trucks with 4L80-E Automatic Transmission (RPO
MT1) or 4L85-E Automatic Transmission (RPO MN8)
Condition
Some customers may comment that the SES light is on. Some may comment that the vehicle will
not start. Others may comment that the gear range indicator always reads "2" or "D2" regardless of
the actual gear the transmission is in.
Cause
The original PCM diagnostic for DTC P0706 defaults the transmission position to Drive Range "2"
when P0706 is set relating to the transmission range select circuit.
Correction
Follow the diagnostic tips and service procedure below to correct this condition.
Diagnostic Tips
^ When DTC P0706 sets, the vehicle will not start.
^ For additional information on DTC P0706, refer to SI Document.
^ Check for proper operation and adjustment of the Park Neutral Position (PNP) switch. Refer to
Park/Neutral Position Switch Adjustment.
^ Check for proper operation and adjustment of the Range Selector Cable. Refer to Automatic
Transmission Range Selector Cable Adjustment.
^ Check for proper electrical connections and terminal integrity.
^ Inspect ground G103.
^ Check to determine if the PCM calibration has been previously updated to a calibration to include
the update for throttle body coking. If the PCM currently has this coking calibration, it is not
necessary to reprogram the PCM again.
Repair Procedure
1. Diagnose and repair the cause of P0706.

The module uses a default value for the missing parameter.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a
repeat of the malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
When multiple Loss of Communication DTCs are set concurrently, the cause is likely to be 2 opens
in the ring portion of the class 2 serial data circuit. Use the Control Modules and Devices ‐
Description and Identification Number table in order to determine which modules are not
communicating. Use the class 2 serial data circuit schematic in order to determine the location of
the opens.

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

Condition
Some customers may comment that the vehicle has no movement when the transmission is shifted
to DRIVE or THIRD position, but there is normal operation when it is shifted to SECOND, FIRST or
REVERSE position.
Cause
This condition may be caused by a damaged forward sprag assembly (642).
Correction
When inspecting the sprag, it is important to test the sprag for proper operation by holding the outer
race (644) with one hand while rotating the input sun gear (640) with the other hand. The sun gear
should rotate only in the counterclockwise direction with the input sun gear facing upward. If the
sprag rotates in both directions or will not rotate in either direction, the sprag elements should be
inspected by removing one of the sprag assembly retaining rings (643). Refer to SI Unit Repair
section for forward clutch sprag disassembly procedures.
If the sprag is found to be damaged, make repairs to the transmission as necessary. A new forward
roller clutch sprag assembly is now available from GMSPO.

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

these systems will then completely power OFF.
OnStar(R) Module Expected Current Draw
The expected current draw of the OnStar(R) module in various ignition modes are as follows:
^ Ignition ON ‐ 240 to 400 mA
^ Ignition OFF ‐ 3 to 20 mA for 48 hours
^ Ignition OFF ‐ 0.2 to 0.8 mA after 48 hours (120 hours on specified vehicle
communication platforms (VCPs)).
Note
During extended voltage testing for battery parasitic draw, it is possible to observe a voltage spike
caused by the following:
^ A cellular registration call that was triggered by the local cellular system.
^ The OnStar(R) system has set a monthly trigger for a vehicle data upload call for the OnStar(R)
Vehicle Diagnostic E‐mail upload.
OnStar(R) System States of Readiness
The OnStar(R) system will use the following 4 states of readiness, depending upon the type of
cellular market the vehicle is in when the ignition is turned OFF.
^ High power
^ Low power
^ Sleep
^ Digital standby
The high power state is in effect whenever the ignition is in the ON or RUN position, retained
accessory power (RAP) is enabled, and/or the OnStar(R) system is sending or receiving calls or
when the system is performing a remote function.
The low power state is in effect when the OnStar(R) system is idle with the ignition in the ON or
RUN position, or with RAP enabled.
The sleep state is entered after the vehicle has been shut OFF and the RAP has timed out. At a
predetermined time recorded within the VCIM, the system re-enters the low power state to listen for
a call from the OnStar(R) Call Center for 1 minute. After this interval, the system will again return to
the sleep state for 9 minutes. If a call is sent during the 1 minute interval, the OnStar(R) system will
receive the call and immediately go into the high power mode to perform any requested functions.
If a call is not received during the 1 minute interval, the system will go back into the sleep mode for
another 9 minutes. This process will continue for up to 48 hours, after which the OnStar(R) system
will turn OFF until the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position.
The digital standby power state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the RAP has
timed out while in a digital cellular area. When in digital standby mode, the OnStar(R) module is
able to perform all remote functions as commanded by an OnStar(R) advisor at any time, for a
continuous 48 hours. After 48 hours, the OnStar(R) module will go into sleep mode until a wake up
signal from the vehicle is seen by the CIM. If the OnStar module loses the digital cellular signal it
will revert to analog mode and follow the standard sleep state (9 minutes OFF, 1 minute standby)
based on the time of the GPS signals, this will continue until a digital cellular signal is again
received.
If the OnStar(R) system loses battery power while the system is in a standby or sleep mode, the
system will remain OFF until battery power is restored and the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN
position.
Deactivated OnStar(R) Accounts
In the event that a customer has not upgraded their vehicle to a digital system, the account has
been deactivated. The customers have been previously notified of the steps required to upgrade
their vehicles. After the OnStar(R) account has been deactivated, customers will experience the
following:
^ The OnStar(R) status LED will not illuminate
^ The OnStar(R) system will NOT attempt to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center in the event of a
collision or if the vehicle's front air bags deploy for any other reason.
^ An emergency button press will result in a demo message being played, indicating the service
has been deactivated and needs to be upgraded.

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

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

Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors.
Backprobe
IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
- Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector.
- Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
- After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a
trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot.
The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows
comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a
first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be
lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
- Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
- Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information

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

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add the 2006 model year and update the calibration release date.
Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 05-01-39-002 (Section 01 - HVAC).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a musty odor from the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning
(HVAC) system. This condition occurs most often on initial start up after the vehicle was driven on
a hot humid day.
Cause
This condition may be caused by condensate build-up on the evaporator core, which does not
evaporate by itself in high humidity conditions.
Correction
Important:
The afterblow function should not be enabled until after the purpose and operation of it is explained
to your customer and they approve of the change. Once the afterblow function is enabled there are
no calibrations currently released to disable it.
Technicians are to reprogram the HVAC Control Module with an updated software calibration that
will enable the afterblow function. The new calibration will be released beginning with TIS satellite
data update version 2.0, which was made available February 5, 2006. The blower motor will turn on
approximately 10 minutes after the vehicle is shut off. The blower motor will run continuously for 10
minutes at a 30% duty cycle. The afterblow function will only activate if the air conditioning
compressor was engaged during conditions of high ambient temperature. If the vehicle is started
within 10 minutes of the last key off, the afterblow function from the previous key cycle will be
cancelled.
Technicians should not attempt to reprogram a vehicle with a Manual Temperature Control HVAC
system (RPO CJ3).
Technicians should perform this HVAC Control Module reprogram instead of installing the
Electronic Evaporator Dryer Module Kit referred to in the Air Conditioning Odor bulletin, Corporate
Bulletin Number 99-01-39-004A.

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

Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6.
If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is
a short to ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2.
Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across
the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered).
- When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
- If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter
TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
The J 39200 instruction Data is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is
present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with
a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance
that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
- Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving.
- 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.

Models: 2002-2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer 2002-2003 GMC Envoy 2002-2003 Oldsmobile Bravada
with 4.2L Engine (VIN S - RPO LL8)
Condition
Some customers may comment on an intermittent hesitation/stumble or idle stall within minutes of
starting after the vehicle has been sitting for several hours. Additionally, some customers with a
2003 model year vehicle may comment on a harsh 1-2 shift or 1-2 slip shift that has a bump feeling
when 2nd gear engages.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the EVAP diagnostic test as it opens the purge valve for a few
seconds and then closes it to verify proper emission sensor operation. If the purge canister is
saturated, the EVAP system on-board diagnostic test may cause the vehicle to correct for a rich
condition from the canister. The vehicle would then become lean when the purge valve closes at
the completion of the test. This condition occurs primarily with high RVP fuel and after the vehicle
sits for several hours in a warm ambient, above 21°C (70°F). A customer who takes short trips is
more likely to experience this condition, as they don't have the drive cycle that would allow the
purge canister to fully re-circulate the fuel vapor.
Correction
For Hesitation, Stumble or Idle Stall:
Follow the SI diagnostics for the stall/stumble condition. If the result is no trouble found, then
reprogram the module with the latest calibration.
For Harsh or Slipping Shifts on 2003 Model Year vehicles:
Reprogram the module with the latest calibration.
The calibrations listed are electronic calibrations and are NOT available from GMSPO. Calibrations
will be available from Techline starting September 2003, on the TIS 2003 Disc 10.0 CD ROM.

Using Connector Test Adapters
USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS
NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-A Connector Test Adapter Kit or the J
42675 Flat Wire Probe Adapter Kit in order to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other
substitutes as they can damage terminals and cause incorrect measurements.

contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to
test the circuit in question.
Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6.
If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is
a short to ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2.
Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across
the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered).
- When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
- If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter
TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
The J 39200 instruction Data is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is
present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with
a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance
that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
- Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving.
- 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.

Test Description
DTC U1001 and U1254
Circuit/System Description
Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during
normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the
modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module
records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health
monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the
module use a default value for that parameter. Once an identification number is learned by a
module, it will monitor for that module's Node Alive message. Each module on the class 2 serial
data circuit which is powered and performing functions that require detection of a communications
malfunction is required to send a Node Alive message every 2 seconds. When no message is
detected from a learned identification number for 5 seconds, a DTC U1XXX where XXX is equal to
the 3-digit identification number is set.

This bulletin is being revised to add model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number
01-07-31-002A (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle). This bulletin is being issued to inform
dealers of an improved procedure to aid in the ease of bleeding the clutch hydraulic system for the
above listed vehicles. This procedure can be used anytime air is introduced into the hydraulic
system. Following this procedure may also reduce the number of unnecessary parts replaced for
low clutch pedal reserve and high shift effort.
Verify that all the lines and fittings are dry and secure.
Clean the dirt and grease from the reservoir cap in order to ensure that no foreign substances enter
the system.
Remove the reservoir cap.
Fill the reservoir to the proper level with the required fluid.
Attach the J 43485 (Adapter) to the J 35555 (Mity Vac), or equivalent.
Brake fluid will deteriorate the rubber on J 43485. Use a clean shop cloth to wipe away the fluid
after each use.
Place and hold the adapter on the reservoir filler neck to ensure a tight fit. In some cases, the
adapter will fit into the reservoir opening.
Apply a vacuum of 51-68 kPa (15-20 hg) and remove the adapter.
Refill the reservoir to the proper level.
Repeat Steps 6 and 7.
If needed, refill the reservoir and continue to pull a vacuum until no more bubbles can be seen in
the reservoir or until the fluid level no longer drops.
The vehicle will move if started in gear before the Actuator Cylinder is refilled and operational. Start
the vehicle the first time in neutral to help prevent personal injury from vehicle movement and see if
the transmission will shift easily into gear.
Pump the clutch pedal until firm (to refill actuator cylinder).
Add additional fluid if needed.

Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors.
Backprobe
IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
- Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector.
- Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
- After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a
trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot.
The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows
comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a
first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be
lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
- Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
- Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information
Page 10133
The module uses a default value for the missing parameter.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a
repeat of the malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
When multiple Loss of Communication DTCs are set concurrently, the cause is likely to be 2 opens
in the ring portion of the class 2 serial data circuit. Use the Control Modules and Devices ‐
Description and Identification Number table in order to determine which modules are not
communicating. Use the class 2 serial data circuit schematic in order to determine the location of
the opens.

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

Seat Heater: Description and Operation
HEATED SEATS DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
HEATED SEATS SYSTEM COMPONENTS
The heated seats system for the driver and passenger seat consists of the following components: Driver and passenger door modules
- Driver and passenger heated seat switches
- Driver and passenger seat back heater elements
- Driver and passenger seat back heat sensors
- Driver and passenger seat cushion heater elements
- Driver seat module
- Passenger seat module
HEATED SEATS SYSTEM OPERATION
The driver and passenger heated seats have 2 heat zone operating modes with 3 heat level modes
and will operate only while the engine is running. The heat zones are determined by which of the 2
heated seat buttons are pressed, while the heat level is determined by the number of times they
are pressed. Pressing the seat cushion button 1 time will activate the seat back and cushion heater
elements in the high mode. Each time the seat cushion button is pressed the seat back and
cushion heat level is reduced from high to medium, low, and off. Pressing the heated seat back
button 1 time will activate only the seat back heater element in the high mode. Each time the seat
back button is pressed the seat back heat level is reduced from high to medium, low, and off.
During heated seat operation the heat zone operating mode may be changed without affecting the
current heat level mode.
The heated seat switches are momentary contact switches and are inputs to the driver and
passenger door modules. Battery voltage is supplied to the switch assembly from the door module,
and when a heated seat switch is pressed and released a brief switch signal voltage is supplied to
the door module. Whenever the door module receives an active heated seat switch input, the next
heated seat operating mode is determined by whatever the current mode may be. The seat heater
elements are controlled by the driver and passenger seat modules using inputs from the door
modules through Class 2 serial data circuit messages. The seat modules control the voltage supply
and the ground circuits to the seat heater elements. When a heated seat function is commanded
active, the seat module will switch battery voltage to the heater element supply circuits, and ground
is provided through low side drive control circuits. During heated seat operation both the seat back
and cushion heater elements are supplied battery voltage. The seat module grounds the
appropriate control circuits for back only or back and cushion heating modes, and opens or closes
the active control circuits as necessary in order to maintain the desired seat temperature. The seat
modules rely on inputs from thermistors located in the driver and passenger seat backs to control
heated seat temperatures. The thermistors are 2 wire sensors supplied with a 5-voltreferenced
signal circuit and a low reference circuit from the seat module. Resistance through the thermistors
varies with temperature causing the heated seat sensor signal circuit voltage levels to decrease as
the seat back temperatures rise. The seat modules allow heated seat operation only while the
engine is running which is determined by a Class 2 serial data circuit message from the powertrain
control module.

Condition
Some customers may comment on higher than normal engine coolant temperature gauge readings
when operating the vehicle in very high outside ambient temperatures, and in stop and go or slow
moving traffic.
Cause
Reduced air flow across the radiator and preheated air from stopped or slow moving driving
conditions from traffic congestion may result in normally higher engine coolant operating
temperatures as indicated by the temperature gauge.
Correction
Technicians are to reprogram the PCM with an updated software calibration. This new service
calibration was released with TIS satellite data update version 7.3 available July 7, 2004. As
always, make sure your TECH 2(R) is updated with the latest software version.
This new calibration will cause the PCM to command small amounts of additional fan engagement
to control engine coolant temperatures and gauge readings closer to a customer perception of
normal.

Bulletin No.: 04-06-01-013
Date: April 29, 2004
INFORMATION
Subject: Information on Serpentine Belt Wear
Models: 2004 and Prior Passenger Cars and Trucks 2003-2004 and Prior HUMMER H2
All current GM vehicles designed and manufactured in North America were assembled with
serpentine belts that are made with an EPDM material and should last the life of the vehicle. It is
extremely rare to observe any cracks in EPDM belts and it is not expected that they will require
maintenance before 10 years or 240,000 km (150,000 mi) of use.
Older style belts, which were manufactured with a chloroprene compound, may exhibit cracks
depending on age. However, the onset of cracking typically signals that the belt is only about
halfway through its usable life.
A good rule of thumb for chloroprene-based belts is that if cracks are observed 3 mm (1/8 in) apart,
ALL AROUND THE BELT, the belt may be reaching the end of its serviceable life and should be
considered a candidate for changing. Small cracks spaced at greater intervals should not be
considered as indicative that the belt needs changing.
Any belt that exhibits chunking should be replaced.

Subject:
Intermittent Hesitation, Stumble or Idle Stall after Soak, Harsh 1-2 Shift, Slipping 1-2 Shift Followed
by a Harsh Engagement (Reprogram PCM)
Models: 2002-2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer 2002-2003 GMC Envoy 2002-2003 Oldsmobile Bravada
with 4.2L Engine (VIN S - RPO LL8)
Condition
Some customers may comment on an intermittent hesitation/stumble or idle stall within minutes of
starting after the vehicle has been sitting for several hours. Additionally, some customers with a
2003 model year vehicle may comment on a harsh 1-2 shift or 1-2 slip shift that has a bump feeling
when 2nd gear engages.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the EVAP diagnostic test as it opens the purge valve for a few
seconds and then closes it to verify proper emission sensor operation. If the purge canister is
saturated, the EVAP system on-board diagnostic test may cause the vehicle to correct for a rich
condition from the canister. The vehicle would then become lean when the purge valve closes at
the completion of the test. This condition occurs primarily with high RVP fuel and after the vehicle
sits for several hours in a warm ambient, above 21°C (70°F). A customer who takes short trips is
more likely to experience this condition, as they don't have the drive cycle that would allow the
purge canister to fully re-circulate the fuel vapor.
Correction
For Hesitation, Stumble or Idle Stall:
Follow the SI diagnostics for the stall/stumble condition. If the result is no trouble found, then
reprogram the module with the latest calibration.
For Harsh or Slipping Shifts on 2003 Model Year vehicles:
Reprogram the module with the latest calibration.
The calibrations listed are electronic calibrations and are NOT available from GMSPO. Calibrations
will be available from Techline starting September 2003, on the TIS 2003 Disc 10.0 CD ROM.

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

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.

IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
- Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector.
- Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
- After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a
trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot.
The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows
comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a
first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be
lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
- Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
- Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add the new part numbers for the Spark Plugs and Ignition Coils.
Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-06-04-048A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion
System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that, after severe weather that includes large amounts of rain in a
short period of time, the engine has a rough idle and/or flashing MIL/SES light. Upon further
investigation, there may be the following DTC(s): P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305 or
P0306.
This condition can be aggravated if the vehicle is parked nose down on an incline during this type
of weather. The customer may also comment on repeat occurrences of this condition because
water may be passing over the Air Intake Plenum (AIP).
Cause
The dripping rain water onto the engine cam cover will collect at the coil(s) and may seep past the
coil(s) into the spark plug(s) well of the cylinder head and may affect the operation of the spark
plug(s) and coil(s), causing the misfire(s).
Correction
Before replacing the AIP seal, refer to Misfire diagnostics in SI to determine if water intrusion was
the cause of the misfire.
Diagnostic Aids for Misfire
Refer to SI for Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine Noises.
If no trouble found (NTF) using SI document on Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine
Noises, then refer to SI for Misfire DTC(s).
If Misfire diagnostic leads to the removal of the coil(s) and spark plug(s), refer to the following SI
Documents:

INFORMATION
Subject: Information On New GE-48800 CoolTech Refrigerant Recovery/Recharge Equipment
Models: 2008 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (Including Saturn) 2008 and
Prior HUMMER H2, H3 2005-2008 Saab 9-7X
Attention:
This bulletin is being issued to announce the release of GM approved Air Conditioning (A/C)
Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging Equipment that meets the new Society of Automotive
Engineers (SAE) J2788 Refrigerant Recovery Standards. The ACR2000 (J-43600) cannot be
manufactured in its current state after December 2007 and will be superseded by GE-48800.
The new J2788 standard does not require that GM Dealers replace their ACR2000 units.
ACR2000's currently in use are very capable of servicing today's refrigerant systems when used
correctly and can continue to be used. Details regarding the new SAE J2788 standard are outlined
in GM Bulletin 07-01-38-004.
Effective February 1 2008, new A/C Refrigerant Recovery/Recharging equipment (P/N GE-48800)
will be released as a required replacement for the previously essential ACR2000 (J-43600). This
equipment is SAE J2788 compliant and meets GM requirements for A/C Refrigerant System
Repairs on all General Motors vehicles, including Hybrid systems with Polyolester (POE)
refrigerant oil. This equipment will not be shipped as an essential tool to GM Dealerships.
In addition, this equipment is Hybrid compliant and designed to prevent oil cross contamination
when servicing Hybrid vehicles with Electric A/C Compressors that use POE refrigerant oil.
The ACR2000 (J-43600) will need to be retrofitted with a J-43600-50 (Hose - ACR2000 Oil Flush
Loop) to be able to perform Hybrid A/C service work. All Hybrid dealers will receive the J-43600-50,
with installation instructions, as a component of the Hybrid essential tool package. Dealerships that
do not sell Hybrids, but may need to service Hybrids, can obtain J-43600-50 from SPX Kent Moore.
Refer to GM Bulletin 08-01-39-001 for the ACR2000 Hose Flush procedure.
The High Voltage (HV) electric A/C compressor used on Two Mode Hybrid vehicles uses a
Polyolester (POE) refrigerant oil instead of a Polyalkylene Glycol (PAG) synthetic refrigerant oil.
This is due to the better electrical resistance of the POE oil and its ability to provide HV isolation.
Failure to flush the hoses before adding refrigerant to a Hybrid vehicle with an electric A/C
compressor may result in an unacceptable amount of PAG oil entering the refrigerant system. It
may cause a Battery Energy Control Module Hybrid Battery Voltage System Isolation Lost
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC P1AE7) to be set. Additionally, the A/C system warranty will be
voided.
Warranty Submission Requirements
The Electronically Generated Repair Data (snapshot summary) and printer functions have been
eliminated from the GE-48800. The VGA display and temperature probes were eliminated to
reduce equipment costs. As a result, effective immediately the 18 digit "Snapshot/Charge
Summary" code is no longer required for Air Conditioning (A/C) refrigerant system repairs that are
submitted for warranty reimbursement. The charge summary data from before and after system
repairs will continue to required, but documented on the repair order only. Both high and low
pressures and the recovery and charge amounts should be noted during the repair and entered on
the repair order. If using ACR2000 (J-43600), the "Snapshot/Charge Summary" printouts should
continue to be attached to the shops copy of the repair order.
The labor codes that are affected by this requirement are D3000 through D4500.

Navigation System: All Technical Service Bulletins Navigation System - Replacement Navigation
Discs
Bulletin No.: 07-08-44-007
Date: April 17, 2007
INFORMATION
Subject: Information on Obtaining Replacement Navigation Discs When Radios are Exchanged Order Replacement Navigation Disc Through Navigation Disc Center
Models: 2007 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn) 2007 and Prior
HUMMER H2, H3 2007 and Prior Saab 9-7X
with a Navigation Radio
Attention:
The purpose of this bulletin is to inform dealership personnel of a new procedure for obtaining a
replacement navigation disc for radios that are sent to an ESC for exchange. This bulletin applies
to U.S. and Canadian dealers only and is not intended for use by export dealers.
When a navigation radio warranty exchange is performed, the customer must have a navigation
disc to operate the new radio. If the customer's navigation disc was damaged or is stuck in the
failed radio, the customer would have to wait for an excessive period of time for the disc to be
returned or replaced. The Electronic Service Centers (ESC) are not authorized to remove stuck
navigation discs from cores, as the cores must be returned to the supplier for analysis prior to any
disassembly. The time it would take for the supplier to return the navigation disc would significantly
delay the completion of the repair at the dealership.
If the customer's navigation disc is damaged or cannot be removed from the radio, the dealership
is to obtain an exchange radio through an ESC and a new navigation disc through the GM
Navigation Disc Center. Both items can be shipped overnight to the dealership upon request.
GM Navigation Disc Center Contact Information
Via the web through gmnavdisc.com
The GM Navigation Disc Center is also the center of expertise for navigation system questions.
Warranty Information
Include the part number and cost of the new navigation disc on the warranty claim for the
navigation radio exchange.

Camshaft Actuator System
Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Camshaft Actuator System
CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) ACTUATOR SYSTEM
The Camshaft Position Actuator system is used for a variety of engine performance enhancements.
These enhancements include lower emission output through exhaust gas recirculation control, a
wider engine torque range, improved gas millage, and improved engine idle stability. The CMP
Actuator system accomplishes this by controlling the amount of intake and exhaust valve overlap.
CMP ACTUATOR SYSTEM OPERATION
The CMP Actuator system is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM sends
a pulse width modulated 12 volt signal to a Camshaft Position (CMP) Actuator Solenoid in order to
control the amount of engine oil flow to a cam Phaser passage. There are two different passages
for oil to flow through, a passage for cam advance and a passage for cam retard. The Cam Phaser
is attached to a camshaft and is hydraulically operated in order to change the angle of the camshaft
relative to crankshaft position. Engine oil pressure, viscosity, temperature and engine oil level can
have an adverse affect on cam phaser performance. The PCM calculates the optimum cam
position through the following inputs: Engine Speed
- Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP)
- Throttle Position (TP) Indicated Angle
- Crankshaft Position (CKP)
- Camshaft Position (CMP)
- Engine Load.
- Barometric (BARO) Pressure
The Cam Phaser default position is 0 degrees. The PCM uses the following inputs before assuming
control of the cam phaser: Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
- Closed Loop Fuel Control
- Engine Oil Temperature
- Engine Oil Pressure
- Engine Oil Level
- CMP Actuator Solenoid circuit state
- Ignition 1 signal voltage
- Barometric (BARO) Pressure
CMP ACTUATOR SOLENOID CIRCUIT DIAGNOSTICS
The PCM monitors the control circuits of the CMP Actuator Solenoid for electrical faults. The PCM
has the ability to determine if a control circuit is open, shorted high, and shorted low. If the PCM
detects a fault with a CMP Actuator Solenoid circuit a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set.
CMP ACTUATOR SYSTEM PERFORMANCE DIAGNOSTICS
The PCM monitors the performance of the CMP Actuator system by monitoring the actual and
desired positions of a cam phaser. If the difference between the actual and desired position is more
than a calibrated angle for more than a calibrated amount of time, a DTC will set.

Cabin Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation
AIR TEMPERATURE SENSORS
The air temperature sensors are a 2 wire negative temperature co-efficient thermistor. The vehicle
uses the following air temperature sensors: Ambient Air Temperature Sensor
- Inside Air Temperature Sensor Assembly
- Upper Left Air Temperature Sensor
- Upper Right Air Temperature Sensor
- Lower Left Air Temperature Sensor
- Lower Right Air Temperature Sensor
A signal and low reference circuit enables the sensor to operate. As the air temperature
surrounding the sensor increases, the sensor resistance decreases. The sensor signal voltage
decreases as the resistance decreases. The sensor operates within a temperature range between
-40°C (-40°F) to 101°C (215°F). The sensor signal varies between 0-5 volts.
The input of the duct air temperature sensors are different from the ambient and inside sensors.
The HVAC control module converts the signal to a range between 0-255 counts. As the air
temperature increases the count value will decrease.
If the HVAC control module detects a malfunctioning sensor, then the control module software will
use a defaulted air temperature value. The default value for the ambient and inside air temperature
sensors will be displayed on the scan tool. The default value for the duct air temperature sensors
will not be displayed on the scan tool. The scan tool parameter for the duct air temperature sensors
are the actual state of the signal circuit. The default action ensures that the HVAC system can
adjust the inside air temperature near the desired temperature until the condition is corrected.
The ambient air temperature sensor mounts underhood and can be affected by city traffic, by idling,
and by restarting a hot engine. Therefore, the HVAC control module filters the value of the ambient
air temperature sensor for temperature display. The ambient air temperature value is updated
under the following conditions:
The scan tool has the ability to update the displayed ambient air temperature. To update the
ambient air temperature display on the HVAC control module, perform the following procedure:
Simultaneously press the MODE, FRONT DEFROST and REAR DEFROST switches. 1. Turn ON
the ignition. 2. Simultaneously press the MODE, FRONT DEFROST and REAR DEFROST
switches.

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

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.

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.

Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors.
Backprobe
IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
- Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector.
- Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
- After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a
trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot.
The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows
comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a
first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be
lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
- Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
- Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information

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

J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
Use the following repair procedures in order to repair the following:
- Push to Seat terminals
- Pull to Seat terminals
- Weather Pack(R) terminals
Some terminals do not require all of the steps shown. Skip the steps that do not apply for your
immediate terminal repair. The J 38125-C contains further information.
1. Cut off the terminal between the core and the insulation crimp. Minimize any wire loss.
For Weather Pack(R) terminals, remove the seal.
2. Apply the correct seal per gage size of the wire.
For Weather Pack(R) terminals, slide the seal back along the wire in order to enable insulation
removal.
3. Remove the insulation. 4. For Weather Pack(R) terminals only, align the seal with the end of the
cable insulation. 5. Position the strip in the terminal.
For Weather Pack(R) terminals, position the strip and seal in the terminal.
6. Hand crimp the core wings. 7. Hand crimp the insulation wings.
For Weather Pack(R) terminals, hand crimp the insulation wings around the seal and the cable.
8. Solder all of the hand crimp terminals.
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.

Page 36
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-C. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure
if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
- Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
- Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
- When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
- Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
- Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
- If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

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

Attention:
The purpose of this bulletin is to inform dealership personnel that the Instrument Panel Cluster
(IPC) odometer and engine hour meter (when applicable) setting will no longer be performed at an
Electronic Service Center (ESC). Dealerships will now receive IPCs with the odometer and engine
hour meter not programmed. The technician will be required to note the odometer reading and
engine hour (when applicable) values of the original IPC, then use the SPS application to program
these values into the new IPC.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the text in Steps 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. Please
discard Corporate Bulletin Number 07-08-49-015C (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Background Information
Previous IPC replacement procedures specify that the odometer and engine hour values be
communicated to and programmed by the Electronic Service Centers (ESC) into the replacement
IPC at the time the replacement is ordered. This required the vehicle to be parked after the
replacement IPC is ordered so that no additional mileage can be accumulated on the vehicle while
the new IPC is in transit to the dealership. Improvements to the TIS2WEB SPS application will now
allow IPC odometer and engine hour programming to be performed as an additional function of the
IPC programming event. This new process will allow the vehicle to be returned to the customer, if
necessary, and driven while waiting for the replacement IPC to arrive at the dealership. Odometer
and engine hour values will no longer be communicated to the ESC for programming purposes but
ESCs still need the odometer value for warranty reporting. Dealerships will now receive a
replacement IPC with the odometer and engine hour values NOT programmed. The technician will
be required to note the odometer and engine hour values of the original IPC, then use the
TIS2WEB SPS application to program these values into the replacement IPC. The odometer and
engine hour programming will now be included as a normal part of the IPC replacement procedure
in SI.
Odometer and Engine Hour Programming Procedure Information
- If the original IPC odometer value cannot be obtained from the customer's vehicle, follow local
and federal regulations regarding unknown odometer mileage situations.
- Because the odometer and engine hour values can now be read from the original IPC and
programmed into the replacement IPC during the same visit, the customer's vehicle will no longer
need to be parked until the replacement IPC is received from an ESC.
- Avalanche, Escalade, Sierra, Silverado, H2, Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon vehicles will also
require the engine hour data to be recorded for transfer to the replacement IPC. The replacement
IPC may already have engine hours showing. This does not affect the IPC Setup procedure.
Bravada, Envoy, Rainier and TrailBlazer vehicles do not support the calculation or display of
engine hour data.
- Ensure that the correct odometer value is entered when prompted. Once programming is
complete, the odometer and engine hour values, when applicable cannot be changed.
- By default, the application odometer entry will be set to: miles. For metric units, click the button on
the left next to: Kilometers.
Service Procedure
Important The replacement IPC requires IPC Setup procedures and SPS programming to be
performed. Legacy Pass-Thru will no longer be

Tires: Technical Service Bulletins Tires/Wheels - Tire Puncture Repair Procedures
INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 04-03-10-001F
Date: April 27, 2010
Subject: Tire Puncture Repair Procedures For All Cars and Light Duty Trucks
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2010 and Prior
HUMMER H2, H3 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 04-03-10-001E (Section 03 - Suspension).
This bulletin covers puncture repair procedures for passenger car and light duty truck radial tires in
the tread area only. The tire manufacturer must be contacted for its individual repair policy and
whether or not the speed rating is retained after repair.
Caution
- Tire changing can be dangerous and should be done by trained professionals using proper tools
and procedures. Always read and understand any manufacturer's warnings contained in their
customers literature or molded into the tire sidewall.
- Serious eye and ear injury may result from not wearing adequate eye and ear protection while
repairing tires.
- NEVER inflate beyond 275 kPa (40 pounds) pressure to seat beads.
Some run flat tires, such as the Goodyear Extended Mobility Tire (EMT) used on the Corvette, may
require more than 275 kPa (40 psi) to seat the bead. In such a case, a tire safety cage must be
used. Consult the tire manufacturer for its individual repair policy.
- NEVER stand, lean or reach over the assembly during inflation.
Repairable area on a radial tire.
Important
- NEVER repair tires worn to the tread indicators 1.59 mm (2/32") remaining depth).
- NEVER repair tires with a tread puncture larger than 6.35 mm (1/4").
- NEVER substitute an inner tube for a permissible or non-permissible repair.
- NEVER perform an outside-in tire repair (plug only, on the wheel).
- Every tire must be removed from the wheel for proper inspection and repair.
- Regardless of the type of repair used, the repair must seal the inner liner and fill the injury.
- Consult with repair material supplier/manufacturer for repair unit application procedures and
repair tools/repair material recommendations.
Three basic steps for tire puncture repair:
1. Remove the tire from the wheel for inspection and repair.
Page 6186
1. Open the harness.
- If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
- To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
- If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire.
2. Cut the wire.
- Cut as little wire off the harness as possible.
- Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and
connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage.
3. Select the proper size and type of wire.
- The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original.
- The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures.
- Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected.
IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked
polyethylene with PVC. Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace
wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact.
4. Strip the insulation.
- Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1).
5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal
Splice Table. 6. Place the nest tool in the J 38125-C crimp tool. 7. Place the splice sleeve in the
crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 8. Close the hand crimper handles
slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 9. Insert the wires into
the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the
barrel in order to prevent
the wire from passing through the splice (3).
10. Close the handles of the J 38125-C until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper
handles will not open until the proper amount of
pressure is applied to the splice sleeve.
11. Shrink the insulation around the splice.
- Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
- Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
- A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

- 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.

J 34142-B 12 V Unpowered Test Lamp
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage.
The J 34142-B 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 procedure.
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.
Using Connector Test Adapters
USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS
NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-A Connector Test Adapter Kit or the J
42675 Flat Wire Probe Adapter Kit in order to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other
substitutes as they can damage terminals and cause incorrect measurements.
Using Fused Jumper Wires
USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire
IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged.
The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without
damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some
circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested.
Connector Position Assurance Locks
CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS
The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of
all the SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate
apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR mating
terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance Locks
TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS
The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control
module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not
remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.
Push to Seat Connectors
PUSH TO SEAT CONNECTORS
TERMINAL REMOVAL

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

Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair Manual Bleeding Procedure
Hydraulic Brake System Bleeding (Manual)
Caution: Refer to Brake Fluid Irritant Caution in Service Precautions.
Notice: Refer to Brake Fluid Effects on Paint and Electrical Components Notice in Service
Precautions.
Notice: When adding fluid to the brake master cylinder reservoir, use only Delco Supreme II, GM
P/N 12377967 (Canadian P/N 992667), or equivalent DOT-3 brake fluid from a clean, sealed brake
fluid container. The use of any type of fluid other than the recommended type of brake fluid, may
cause contamination which could result in damage to the internal rubber seals and/or rubber linings
of hydraulic brake system components.
1. Place a clean shop cloth beneath the brake master cylinder to prevent brake fluid spills. 2. With
the ignition OFF and the brakes cool, apply the brakes 3-5 times, or until the brake pedal effort
increases significantly, in order to deplete the
brake booster power reserve.
3. If you have performed a brake master cylinder bench bleeding on this vehicle, or if you
disconnected the brake pipes from the master cylinder, you
must perform the following steps: 3.1.
Ensure that the brake master cylinder reservoir is full to the maximum-fill level. If necessary add

6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the
middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper
handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing:
- The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
- A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-C if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA
ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to
ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the
plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated
in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a
terminal for replacement.

IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and
seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves.
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
1. Open the harness.
- If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
- To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
- If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire.
2. Cut the wire.
- Cut as little wire off the harness as possible.
- Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and
connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage.
3. Select the proper size and type of wire.
- The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link).
- The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating.

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

If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-C. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure
if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
- Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
- Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
- When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
- Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
- Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
- If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation
The FTP sensor measures the difference between the pressure or vacuum in the fuel tank and
outside air pressure. The control module provides a 5-volt reference and a ground to the FTP
sensor. The FTP sensor provides a signal voltage back to the control module that can vary
between 0.1-4.9 volts. As FTP increases, FTP sensor voltage decreases, high pressure = low
voltage. As FTP decreases, FTP voltage increases, low pressure or vacuum = high voltage.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor is a permanent magnet generator, known as a variable
reluctance sensor. The magnetic field of the sensor is altered by a crankshaft mounted reluctor
wheel that has seven machined slots, six of which are equally spaced 60 degrees apart. The
seventh slot is spaced 10 degrees after one of the 60 degree slots. The CKP sensor produces
seven pulses for each revolution of the crankshaft. The pulse from the 10 degree slot is known as
the sync pulse. The sync pulse is used to synchronize the coil firing sequence with the crankshaft
position. The CKP sensor is connected to the PCM by a signal circuit and a low reference circuit.

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

16. Inspect the inside of the electrical connector on the wiper motor for moisture or water. If no
moisture or water is found, continue inspecting for evidence or signs that moisture or water was
present at some earlier time. Indicators include water stains, dried dirt, etc. (1).
^ If moisture or water is found in the electrical connector, or if there is evidence that there was
moisture or water present at an earlier time, the complete wiper motor module (including the motor)
MUST be replaced. Obtain a new wiper module and proceed to Step 20. The new wiper modules
already have a different style of breathable seal on the wiper cover. DO NOT install the breathable
seal described later in this recall on new wiper modules.
^ If there is no moisture or water found in electrical connector, or if there is NO evidence that
moisture or water was present at an earlier time, a breathable seal must be installed over the vent
in the wiper motor cover. Proceed to the next step.
17. Clean the exterior surface of the wiper motor cover thoroughly (1). It must be free of dirt,
grease, oil, and other contamination.
Important
To ensure good adhesion of the seal being installed in the next steps, make sure that your hands
are clean and free of oil and grease before proceeding.
18. Using the alcohol wipe included in the kit, wipe the complete exterior surface of the wiper cover
thoroughly. Allow the surface to dry approximately 30-45 seconds before proceeding.
Important
When using the adhesion promoter in the next step:
^ DO NOT open the adhesion promoter until you are ready to apply it.
^ Use the complete contents of the packet as soon as it is opened.
^ If the packet is dried-out when opened, obtain another sealer kit or use P/N 12378462 (4 oz. can
of adhesion promoter).
^ Do not allow the liquid to "spill" inside of the vent opening on the wiper motor cover when
applying.
^ Allow to dry 30-90 seconds before applying the seal.
19. Carefully apply the adhesion promoter that is included in the kit.
Important
The seal must be inspected before installing. If there are any creases in the seal or backing
material, the seal must NOT be used. Obtain another sealer kit.
^ If you are unable to remove the backing material from the seal in the next step, the seal is beyond
its shelf life of one year. Obtain another sealer kit. Do NOT touch the adhesive surface on the seal
when removing the backing material.

- If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 volt or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
- If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
- Wiring broken inside the insulation
- Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector.
- Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter, improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the
connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor
terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-C or the J 38125-4 Instruction Data for terminal identification.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2.
Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or
green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J 38125-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to
test the circuit in question.
Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6.
If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is
a short to ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2.
Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across
the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered).
- When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
- If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter
TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
The J 39200 instruction Data is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is
present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with
a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance
that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
- Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving.
- 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.

If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-C. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure
if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
- Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
- Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
- When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
- Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
- Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
- If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

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

Door Switch: Description and Operation
DOOR AJAR SWITCHES
The CTD system uses the rear door ajar switches in the door lock assemblies as one method to
activate the alarm. The body control module (BCM) monitors rear door ajar switches via a discrete
input from each rear passenger door ajar switch, if the BCM receives a ground signal from a rear
passenger door ajar switch when the CTD system is armed, the BCM activates the alarm.
The CTD system uses the LH front door ajar switch as one method to activate the alarm. The driver
door module (DDM) monitors the LH door ajar switch via a discreet input from the door ajar switch,
if the DDM receives a ground signal from the LH door ajar switch when the CTD system is armed
the message is communicated through the serial data circuit to the BCM and the alarm is activated.
The CTD system uses the RH front door ajar switch as one method to activate the alarm. The
passenger door module (PDM) monitors the RH door ajar switch via a discreet input from the door
ajar switch, if the PDM receives a ground signal from the RH door ajar switch when the CTD
system is armed the message is communicated through the serial data circuit to the BCM and the
alarm is activated.
The CTD system uses the rear compartment liftgate/liftglass ajar switchs as one method to activate
the alarm. The liftgate module (LGM) monitors the liftgate and liftglass ajar switch via a discreet
input from the ajar switch, if the LGM receives a ground signal from the liftgate or liftglass ajar
switch when the CTD system is armed the message is communicated through the serial data circuit
to the BCM and the alarm is activated.

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

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.

Some customers may comment that, after severe weather that includes large amounts of rain in a
short period of time, the engine has a rough idle and/or flashing MIL/SES light. Upon further
investigation, there may be the following DTC(s): P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305 or
P0306.
This condition can be aggravated if the vehicle is parked nose down on an incline during this type
of weather. The customer may also comment on repeat occurrences of this condition because
water may be passing over the Air Intake Plenum (AIP).
Cause
The dripping rain water onto the engine cam cover will collect at the coil(s) and may seep past the
coil(s) into the spark plug(s) well of the cylinder head and may affect the operation of the spark
plug(s) and coil(s), causing the misfire(s).
Correction
Before replacing the AIP seal, refer to Misfire diagnostics in SI to determine if water intrusion was
the cause of the misfire.
Diagnostic Aids for Misfire
Refer to SI for Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine Noises.
If no trouble found (NTF) using SI document on Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine
Noises, then refer to SI for Misfire DTC(s).
If Misfire diagnostic leads to the removal of the coil(s) and spark plug(s), refer to the following SI
Documents:
Air Cleaner Outlet Resonator Replacement
Ignition Coil Replacement Removal Procedure
Spark Plug Replacement
Coil(s) damage from water intrusion will have a film of white chalk build-up on the outside and
inside of the spark plug boot to ignition coil(s) assembly. If present, remove the spark plug(s) and
inspect for similar build-up on the outside of the spark plug(s).
If NTF with the coil(s) and spark plug(s), continue on with the Misfire Diagnostic in SI.
Replace any coil and spark plug that has been diagnosed to be damaged from water intrusion. To
prevent a reoccurrence, follow repair information outlined in this bulletin to replace the AIP seal.
To prevent a repeat occurrence of the above condition, Do Not return the vehicle to the customer
without replacing the AIP seal if water intrusion was determined to be the cause.
If water intrusion was determined to be the cause for the replacement of the spark plug(s) and/or
coil(s), the AIP seal should be replaced.
Installation of AIP Seal
To prevent a reoccurrence, the revised AIP seal will redirect the rain water flow away from the
engine cam cover area. The following repair information outlined in this bulletin will assist
technicians in the replacement of the revised AIP seal.
Remove the original rear hood (AIP) seal to the air inlet grille panel staked studs. Refer to the
above illustration (1).

Description and Operation
Fuel Level Sensor: Description and Operation
Fuel Level Sensor
The fuel level sensor consists of a float, a wire float arm, and a ceramic resistor card. The position
of the float arm indicates the fuel level. The fuel level sensor contains a variable resistor which
changes resistance in correspondence with the position of the float arm. The control module sends
the fuel level information via the Class 2 circuit to the instrument panel cluster (IPC). This
information is used for the IPC fuel gage and the low fuel warning indicator, if applicable. The
control module also monitors the fuel level input for various diagnostics.

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

Recall 04V046000: Erratic Wiper Operation
Wiper Control Module: All Technical Service Bulletins Recall 04V046000: Erratic Wiper Operation
DEFECT: The windshield wipers on these sport utility vehicles may fail to turn on, unexpectedly
stop working, fail to turn off/on by themselves (moisture sensitive wiper system), or the washer
pump may operate continuously because water can enter the wiper module and either cause a
short circuit or corrosion of components within the module. Driver visibility could be reduced, which
could result in a crash.
REMEDY: Dealers will cover the windshield wiper module vent hole with a patch. Also, the wiper
motor, circuit board, and electrical connector will be inspected for signs of water intrusion and/or
corrosion and be replaced as required. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification is
expected to begin during the third quarter of 2004. Owners may contact Chevrolet at
1-800-630-2438; GMC at 1-866-996-9463; or Oldsmobile at 1-800-630-6537.

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

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.

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

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

Low Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation HVAC System - Automatic
HVAC SYSTEM - AUTOMATIC
A/C LOW PRESSURE SWITCH
The A/C low pressure switch protects the A/C system from a low pressure condition that could
damage the A/C compressor or cause evaporator icing. The HVAC control module applies 12 volts
to the A/C low pressure switch signal circuit. The switch will open when the A/C low side pressure
reaches 124 kPa (18 psi). This prevents the A/C compressor from operating. The switch will then
close when A/C low pressure side reaches 275 kPa (40 psi). This enables the A/C compressor to
turn back ON.

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.

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

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add the new part numbers for the Spark Plugs and Ignition Coils.
Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-06-04-048A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion
System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that, after severe weather that includes large amounts of rain in a
short period of time, the engine has a rough idle and/or flashing MIL/SES light. Upon further
investigation, there may be the following DTC(s): P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305 or
P0306.
This condition can be aggravated if the vehicle is parked nose down on an incline during this type
of weather. The customer may also comment on repeat occurrences of this condition because
water may be passing over the Air Intake Plenum (AIP).
Cause
The dripping rain water onto the engine cam cover will collect at the coil(s) and may seep past the
coil(s) into the spark plug(s) well of the cylinder head and may affect the operation of the spark
plug(s) and coil(s), causing the misfire(s).
Correction
Before replacing the AIP seal, refer to Misfire diagnostics in SI to determine if water intrusion was
the cause of the misfire.
Diagnostic Aids for Misfire
Refer to SI for Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine Noises.
If no trouble found (NTF) using SI document on Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine
Noises, then refer to SI for Misfire DTC(s).
If Misfire diagnostic leads to the removal of the coil(s) and spark plug(s), refer to the following SI
Documents:
Air Cleaner Outlet Resonator Replacement
Ignition Coil Replacement Removal Procedure
Spark Plug Replacement
Coil(s) damage from water intrusion will have a film of white chalk build-up on the outside and
inside of the spark plug boot to ignition coil(s) assembly. If present, remove the spark plug(s) and
inspect for similar build-up on the outside of the spark plug(s).
If NTF with the coil(s) and spark plug(s), continue on with the Misfire Diagnostic in SI.

Check - Vehicle. The Diagnostic System Check will provide the following information:
^ The identification of the control modules which command the system
^ The ability of the control modules to communicate through the serial data circuit
^ The identification of any stored diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and their status
The use of the Diagnostic System Check will identify the correct procedure for diagnosing the
system and where the procedure is located.
Visual/Physical Inspection
Perform the following visual inspections;
^ Inspect for aftermarket devices which could affect the operation of the Radio/Audio System. Refer
to Checking Aftermarket Accessories in SI.
^ Inspect the easily accessible and visible system components for obvious damage or conditions
which could cause the symptom.
Intermittent Conditions
Faulty electrical connections or wiring may be the cause of intermittent conditions. Refer to Testing
for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in SI.

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.

Throttle Body: Description and Operation
THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY
The throttle body for the TAC system is similar to a conventional throttle body with several
exceptions. One exception being the use of a motor to control the throttle position instead of a
mechanical cable. Another exception is the throttle position (TP) sensor. The TP sensor is mounted
in the throttle body assembly. The TP sensor is 2 individual TP sensors within the throttle body
assembly. Two separate signal, low reference, and 5-volt reference circuits are used to connect the
TP sensors and the PCM. TP sensor 2 signal voltage increases as the throttle opens. TP sensor 1
signal voltage decreases as the throttle opens.

Test Description
DTC U1001 and U1254
Circuit/System Description
Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during
normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the
modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module
records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health
monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the
module use a default value for that parameter. Once an identification number is learned by a
module, it will monitor for that module's Node Alive message. Each module on the class 2 serial
data circuit which is powered and performing functions that require detection of a communications
malfunction is required to send a Node Alive message every 2 seconds. When no message is
detected from a learned identification number for 5 seconds, a DTC U1XXX where XXX is equal to
the 3-digit identification number is set.

these systems will then completely power OFF.
OnStar(R) Module Expected Current Draw
The expected current draw of the OnStar(R) module in various ignition modes are as follows:
^ Ignition ON ‐ 240 to 400 mA
^ Ignition OFF ‐ 3 to 20 mA for 48 hours
^ Ignition OFF ‐ 0.2 to 0.8 mA after 48 hours (120 hours on specified vehicle
communication platforms (VCPs)).
Note
During extended voltage testing for battery parasitic draw, it is possible to observe a voltage spike
caused by the following:
^ A cellular registration call that was triggered by the local cellular system.
^ The OnStar(R) system has set a monthly trigger for a vehicle data upload call for the OnStar(R)
Vehicle Diagnostic E‐mail upload.
OnStar(R) System States of Readiness
The OnStar(R) system will use the following 4 states of readiness, depending upon the type of
cellular market the vehicle is in when the ignition is turned OFF.
^ High power
^ Low power
^ Sleep
^ Digital standby
The high power state is in effect whenever the ignition is in the ON or RUN position, retained
accessory power (RAP) is enabled, and/or the OnStar(R) system is sending or receiving calls or
when the system is performing a remote function.
The low power state is in effect when the OnStar(R) system is idle with the ignition in the ON or
RUN position, or with RAP enabled.
The sleep state is entered after the vehicle has been shut OFF and the RAP has timed out. At a
predetermined time recorded within the VCIM, the system re-enters the low power state to listen for
a call from the OnStar(R) Call Center for 1 minute. After this interval, the system will again return to
the sleep state for 9 minutes. If a call is sent during the 1 minute interval, the OnStar(R) system will
receive the call and immediately go into the high power mode to perform any requested functions.
If a call is not received during the 1 minute interval, the system will go back into the sleep mode for
another 9 minutes. This process will continue for up to 48 hours, after which the OnStar(R) system
will turn OFF until the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position.
The digital standby power state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the RAP has
timed out while in a digital cellular area. When in digital standby mode, the OnStar(R) module is
able to perform all remote functions as commanded by an OnStar(R) advisor at any time, for a
continuous 48 hours. After 48 hours, the OnStar(R) module will go into sleep mode until a wake up
signal from the vehicle is seen by the CIM. If the OnStar module loses the digital cellular signal it
will revert to analog mode and follow the standard sleep state (9 minutes OFF, 1 minute standby)
based on the time of the GPS signals, this will continue until a digital cellular signal is again
received.
If the OnStar(R) system loses battery power while the system is in a standby or sleep mode, the
system will remain OFF until battery power is restored and the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN
position.
Deactivated OnStar(R) Accounts
In the event that a customer has not upgraded their vehicle to a digital system, the account has
been deactivated. The customers have been previously notified of the steps required to upgrade
their vehicles. After the OnStar(R) account has been deactivated, customers will experience the
following:
^ The OnStar(R) status LED will not illuminate
^ The OnStar(R) system will NOT attempt to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center in the event of a
collision or if the vehicle's front air bags deploy for any other reason.
^ An emergency button press will result in a demo message being played, indicating the service
has been deactivated and needs to be upgraded.

6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the
middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper
handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing:
- The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
- A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-C if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA
ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to
ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the
plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated
in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a
terminal for replacement.
Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

1. Open the harness.
- If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
- To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
- If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire.
2. Cut the wire.
- Cut as little wire off the harness as possible.
- Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and
connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage.
3. Select the proper size and type of wire.
- The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link).
- The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating.

Condition
Some customers may comment on a shudder condition at approximately 64-80 km/h (40-50 mph)
when the TCC engages.
Cause
This condition may be caused by water in the automatic transmission fluid (ATF). Water may enter
the transmission by dripping from the cowl area onto the handle of the transmission fluid level
indicator.
Indications of water in the ATF may include:
^ Visible rust on the transmission fluid level indicator.
^ Visible water in the oil pan.
^ A milky white substance inside the pan area.
^ Spacer plate gaskets that appear to be glued to the spacer plate, valve body or case.
^ Rust on internal transmission iron/steel components.
Important:
For vehicles suspected of having a leaking transmission oil cooler that would cause contamination
of the transmission fluid with coolant, the following check should be performed before deciding to
replace the radiator.
^ Remove the surge tank cap and examine the coolant for signs of contamination with transmission
fluid (the coolant will have a milky, not clear appearance).
^ If the coolant has a normal, clear appearance, the radiator should not be replaced.
The cooler can also be tested by following the Coolant System Leak Test procedure in the SI
Document. Do NOT replace a radiator without verifying that the transmission oil cooler is leaking.
Correction
First, repair the transmission and second, replace the transmission fill tube, seal and level indicator
to prevent repeat water contamination of the ATF.

Condition
Some customers may comment that the ABS light is on. Upon further inspection, DTCs C0265 and
C0201 may be set in the brake module. It is also possible for DTC U1041 to set in other modules.
There may also be a loss of communication with the brake module.
Cause
A poor connection at the EBCM ground is causing unnecessary replacement of brake modules.
Important:
The EBCM ground is different for each application. Refer to the list below for the proper ground
reference:
^ Midsize Utilities = Ground 304
^ SSR = Ground 400
^ Fullsize Trucks and Utilities = Ground 110
Correction
Important:
Do not replace the brake module to correct this condition. Perform the following repair before
further diagnosis of the EBCM.
Perform the following steps to improve the connection of the EBCM Ground:
1. Remove the EBCM Ground. The EBCM Ground is located on the frame beneath the driver's side
door. If multiple grounds are found in this location, the EBCM ground can be identified as the heavy
(12-gauge) wire.
2. If the original fastener has a welded on nut, remove the nut from the frame, and if required,
enlarge the bolt hole to accommodate the new bolt and nut.

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

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

Body Control Module: Description and Operation
BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM)
The CTD system is an internal function of the Body Control Module (BCM) which utilizes class 2
serial data from the driver door module (DDM), Passenger door module (PDM) and the liftgate
module (LGM) and various switch input information to perform CTD functions. When the BCM
detects an unauthorized entry, it activates the horns and exterior lamps.
When the BCM detects an unauthorized entry, the BCM enters the alarm mode. The BCM
activates the horns and exterior lamps for 2 minutes. This is followed by a three minute time-out
with the horn no longer active. If no new intrusions are detected after the time-out, the horn is not
active. The system must be disarmed or the intrusion condition removed after the time-out for the
system to exit alarm mode.
The BCM contains the logic of the theft deterrent system. The BCM provides the battery positive
voltage to operate the Passlock(TM) Sensor. The BCM also measures the voltage of the security
sensor signal circuit. The voltage measured will indicate whether the Passlock(TM) Sensor has
been activated and whether the resistance value from the sensor is a valid value or the tamper
value. If voltage measured is in the valid range, the BCM compares this voltage, voltage code, to a
previously learned voltage code. If the voltage codes match, the BCM sends a class 2 message
containing a password to the PCM. If the voltage codes do not match, or the voltage is in the
Tamper range, or there is a circuit fault, the BCM will not send the correct password to the PCM,
and the vehicle will not start.

these systems will then completely power OFF.
OnStar(R) Module Expected Current Draw
The expected current draw of the OnStar(R) module in various ignition modes are as follows:
^ Ignition ON ‐ 240 to 400 mA
^ Ignition OFF ‐ 3 to 20 mA for 48 hours
^ Ignition OFF ‐ 0.2 to 0.8 mA after 48 hours (120 hours on specified vehicle
communication platforms (VCPs)).
Note
During extended voltage testing for battery parasitic draw, it is possible to observe a voltage spike
caused by the following:
^ A cellular registration call that was triggered by the local cellular system.
^ The OnStar(R) system has set a monthly trigger for a vehicle data upload call for the OnStar(R)
Vehicle Diagnostic E‐mail upload.
OnStar(R) System States of Readiness
The OnStar(R) system will use the following 4 states of readiness, depending upon the type of
cellular market the vehicle is in when the ignition is turned OFF.
^ High power
^ Low power
^ Sleep
^ Digital standby
The high power state is in effect whenever the ignition is in the ON or RUN position, retained
accessory power (RAP) is enabled, and/or the OnStar(R) system is sending or receiving calls or
when the system is performing a remote function.
The low power state is in effect when the OnStar(R) system is idle with the ignition in the ON or
RUN position, or with RAP enabled.
The sleep state is entered after the vehicle has been shut OFF and the RAP has timed out. At a
predetermined time recorded within the VCIM, the system re-enters the low power state to listen for
a call from the OnStar(R) Call Center for 1 minute. After this interval, the system will again return to
the sleep state for 9 minutes. If a call is sent during the 1 minute interval, the OnStar(R) system will
receive the call and immediately go into the high power mode to perform any requested functions.
If a call is not received during the 1 minute interval, the system will go back into the sleep mode for
another 9 minutes. This process will continue for up to 48 hours, after which the OnStar(R) system
will turn OFF until the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position.
The digital standby power state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the RAP has
timed out while in a digital cellular area. When in digital standby mode, the OnStar(R) module is
able to perform all remote functions as commanded by an OnStar(R) advisor at any time, for a
continuous 48 hours. After 48 hours, the OnStar(R) module will go into sleep mode until a wake up
signal from the vehicle is seen by the CIM. If the OnStar module loses the digital cellular signal it
will revert to analog mode and follow the standard sleep state (9 minutes OFF, 1 minute standby)
based on the time of the GPS signals, this will continue until a digital cellular signal is again
received.
If the OnStar(R) system loses battery power while the system is in a standby or sleep mode, the
system will remain OFF until battery power is restored and the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN
position.
Deactivated OnStar(R) Accounts
In the event that a customer has not upgraded their vehicle to a digital system, the account has
been deactivated. The customers have been previously notified of the steps required to upgrade
their vehicles. After the OnStar(R) account has been deactivated, customers will experience the
following:
^ The OnStar(R) status LED will not illuminate
^ The OnStar(R) system will NOT attempt to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center in the event of a
collision or if the vehicle's front air bags deploy for any other reason.
^ An emergency button press will result in a demo message being played, indicating the service
has been deactivated and needs to be upgraded.

OnStar(R) Microphone
The OnStar(R), or cellular microphone, can be a part of the rearview mirror assembly, or on some
vehicle lines, a separate, stand alone unit.
In either case, the VCIM supplies approximately 10 volts to the microphone on the cellular
microphone signal circuit, and voice data from the user is sent back to the VCIM over the same
circuit. A cellular microphone low reference circuit or a drain wire provides a ground for the
microphone.
Cellular and GPS Antennas
The vehicle will be equipped with one of the following types of antennas:
^ Separate, stand-alone cellular and navigation (GPS) antennas.
^ A combination cellular and navigation (GPS) antenna, which brings the functions of both into a
single part.
^ A cellular, GPS, and digital radio receiver (DRR) antenna, which also incorporates the
functionality of the DRR satellite antenna (XM).
The cellular antenna is the component that allows the OnStar(R) system to send and receive data
using electromagnetic waves by means of cellular technology. The antenna is connected at the
base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM.
The GPS antenna is used to collect the signals of the orbiting GPS satellites. Within the antenna is
housed a low noise amplifier that allows for a more broad and precise reception of this data. The
antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The cable also
provides a path for DC current for powering the antenna.
The OnStar(R) Call Center also has the capability of communicating with the vehicle during an
OnStar(R) call to retrieve the latest GPS location and transmit it to the OnStar(R) Call Center. A
history location of the last recorded position of the vehicle is stored in the module and marked as
aged, for as long as the module power is not removed. Actual GPS location may take up to 10
minutes to register in the event of a loss of power.
Audio System Interface
When the OnStar(R) requires audio output, a serial data message is sent to the audio system to
mute all radio functions and transmit OnStar(R) originated audio. The OnStar(R) audio is
transmitted to the vehicle audio system by a dedicated signal circuit and a low reference circuit.
The audio system will mute and an audible ring will be heard though the speakers if the vehicle
receives a call with the radio ON.
On some vehicles, the HVAC blower speed may be reduced when the OnStar(R) system is active
to aid in reducing interior noise. When the system is no longer active, the blower speed will return
to its previous setting.
OnStar(R) Steering Wheel Controls
Some vehicles may have a button on the steering wheel, that when pushed can engage the
OnStar(R) system. The button may be a symbol of a face with sound waves, or may say MUTE, or
be a symbol of a radio speaker with a slash through it.
By engaging the OnStar(R) system with this feature, the user can interact with the system by use of
voice commands. A complete list of these commands is supplied in the information provided to the
customer. If the information is not available for reference, at any command prompt, the user can
say "HELP" and the VCIM will return an audible list of available commands.
The steering wheel controls consist of multiple momentary contact switches and a resistor network.
The switches and resistor network are arranged so that each switch has a different resistance
value. When a switch is pressed, a voltage drop occurs in the resistor network. This produces a
specific voltage value unique to the switch selected, to be interpreted by the radio or the body
control module (BCM).
OnStar(R) Power Moding (DRX or Sleep Cycle)
The OnStar(R) system uses a unique sleep cycle to allow the system to receive cellular calls while
the ignition is in the OFF position and retained accessory power (RAP) mode has ended.
A green status LED on the OnStar(R) keypad normally indicates an active OnStar(R) account. The
OnStar(R) system will stay powered up after ignition off for an extended time in order to allow for
remote services like door unlock, horn honk, light flash, etcetera to take place as requested by the
customer. Power cycle (also referred to as DRX) times vary depending on the generation of the
OnStar(R) system. Technicians may identify the OnStar(R) system generation by using a Tech 2
and following this menu path: (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by
accessing www.onstarenrollment.com
All Generation 6 digital systems are powered up continuously for 48 hours from ignition OFF. After
48 hours, the Generation 6 systems will enter a 9 minute OFF, 1 minute ON power cycle for an
additional 72 hours. At the beginning and end of the 1 minute ON stage, you may or may not
experience a short spike of current at the beginning and at the end. This allows for calls from
OnStar to be received by the system. After 120 hours from ignition OFF,

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - CIRCUIT BREAKERS
A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used.
Circuit Breaker This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It
closes again after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open
again. The circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high
current is removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker This type greatly increases its resistance
when excessive current passes through it. The excessive current heats the PTC device, as the
device heats its resistance increases. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the circuit is
effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is
opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once the voltage is removed the circuit breaker
will re-close within a second or 2.
Circuit Protection - Fuses
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSES
Page 6941
Application Table Part 2
Page 12801
The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (break). If not broken, also check for continuity using a
DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one
of equal current rating.
Circuit Protection - Fusible Links
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS
Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is
often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or
a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If
broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size.
Repairing a Fusible Link
IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient
overload protection.
Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips.

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

Thermostat: Description and Operation
Thermostat The thermostat is a coolant flow control component. Its purpose is to help regulate the
operating temperature of the engine. It utilizes a temperature sensitive wax-pellet element. The
element connects to a valve through a small piston. When the element is heated, it expands and
exerts pressure against the small piston. This pressure forces the valve to open. As the element is
cooled, it contracts. This contraction allows a spring to push the valve closed.
When the coolant temperature is below the rated thermostat opening temperature, the thermostat
valve remains closed. This prevents circulation of the coolant to the radiator and allows the engine
to warm up. After the coolant temperature reaches the rated thermostat opening temperature, the
thermostat valve will open. The coolant is then allowed to circulate through the thermostat to the
radiator where the engine heat is dissipated to the atmosphere. The thermostat also provides a
restriction in the cooling system, after it has opened. This restriction creates a pressure difference
which prevents cavitation at the water pump and forces coolant to circulate through the engine
block.

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

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

This bulletin is being revised to add the new part numbers for the Spark Plugs and Ignition Coils.
Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-06-04-048A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion
System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that, after severe weather that includes large amounts of rain in a
short period of time, the engine has a rough idle and/or flashing MIL/SES light. Upon further
investigation, there may be the following DTC(s): P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305 or
P0306.
This condition can be aggravated if the vehicle is parked nose down on an incline during this type
of weather. The customer may also comment on repeat occurrences of this condition because
water may be passing over the Air Intake Plenum (AIP).
Cause
The dripping rain water onto the engine cam cover will collect at the coil(s) and may seep past the
coil(s) into the spark plug(s) well of the cylinder head and may affect the operation of the spark
plug(s) and coil(s), causing the misfire(s).
Correction
Before replacing the AIP seal, refer to Misfire diagnostics in SI to determine if water intrusion was
the cause of the misfire.
Diagnostic Aids for Misfire
Refer to SI for Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine Noises.

Drive Belt Falls Off Diagnosis
Test Description The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.
2. This test is to verify that the symptom is present during diagnosing. Other vehicle components
may cause a similar symptom. 3. This test is to verify that the drive belt(s) is causing the rumbling
noise. Rumbling noise may be confused with an internal engine noise due to the
similarity in the description. Remove only one drive belt at a time if the vehicle has multiple drive
belts. When removing the drive belt the water pump may not be operating and the engine may
overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive belt removed.
4. Inspecting the drive belt(s) is to ensure that it is not causing a the noise. Small cracks across the
ribs of the drive belt will not cause the noise. Belt
separation is identified by the plys of the belt separating and may be seen at the edge of the belt
our felt as a lump in the belt.
5. Small amounts of pilling is normal condition and acceptable. When the pilling is severe the drive
belt does not have a smooth surface for proper
operation.
Drive Belt Squeal
Drive Belt Squeal Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids A loose or improper installation of a body component, a suspension component, or
other items of the vehicle may cause the squeal noise.
If the noise is intermittent, verify the accessory drive components by varying their loads making
sure they are operated to their maximum capacity. An overcharged A/C system, power steering
system with a pinched hose or wrong fluid, or a generator failing are suggested items to inspect.

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

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

DOOR AJAR SWITCHES
The CTD system uses the rear door ajar switches in the door lock assemblies as one method to
activate the alarm. The body control module (BCM) monitors rear door ajar switches via a discrete
input from each rear passenger door ajar switch, if the BCM receives a ground signal from a rear
passenger door ajar switch when the CTD system is armed, the BCM activates the alarm.
The CTD system uses the LH front door ajar switch as one method to activate the alarm. The driver
door module (DDM) monitors the LH door ajar switch via a discreet input from the door ajar switch,
if the DDM receives a ground signal from the LH door ajar switch when the CTD system is armed
the message is communicated through the serial data circuit to the BCM and the alarm is activated.
The CTD system uses the RH front door ajar switch as one method to activate the alarm. The
passenger door module (PDM) monitors the RH door ajar switch via a discreet input from the door
ajar switch, if the PDM receives a ground signal from the RH door ajar switch when the CTD
system is armed the message is communicated through the serial data circuit to the BCM and the
alarm is activated.
The CTD system uses the rear compartment liftgate/liftglass ajar switchs as one method to activate
the alarm. The liftgate module (LGM) monitors the liftgate and liftglass ajar switch via a discreet
input from the ajar switch, if the LGM receives a ground signal from the liftgate or liftglass ajar
switch when the CTD system is armed the message is communicated through the serial data circuit
to the BCM and the alarm is activated.

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
The supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system/supplemental restraint system (SRS) requires
special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific
procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system
terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.
The tool kit J 38125-C contains the following items:
- Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction Data
The sealed splices have the following 2 critical features:
- A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
- A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The J 38125-C also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items:
- A large sampling of common electrical terminals
- The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires
- The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-C. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.

Body Control Module: Description and Operation
BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM)
The CTD system is an internal function of the Body Control Module (BCM) which utilizes class 2
serial data from the driver door module (DDM), Passenger door module (PDM) and the liftgate
module (LGM) and various switch input information to perform CTD functions. When the BCM
detects an unauthorized entry, it activates the horns and exterior lamps.
When the BCM detects an unauthorized entry, the BCM enters the alarm mode. The BCM
activates the horns and exterior lamps for 2 minutes. This is followed by a three minute time-out
with the horn no longer active. If no new intrusions are detected after the time-out, the horn is not
active. The system must be disarmed or the intrusion condition removed after the time-out for the
system to exit alarm mode.
The BCM contains the logic of the theft deterrent system. The BCM provides the battery positive
voltage to operate the Passlock(TM) Sensor. The BCM also measures the voltage of the security
sensor signal circuit. The voltage measured will indicate whether the Passlock(TM) Sensor has
been activated and whether the resistance value from the sensor is a valid value or the tamper
value. If voltage measured is in the valid range, the BCM compares this voltage, voltage code, to a
previously learned voltage code. If the voltage codes match, the BCM sends a class 2 message
containing a password to the PCM. If the voltage codes do not match, or the voltage is in the
Tamper range, or there is a circuit fault, the BCM will not send the correct password to the PCM,
and the vehicle will not start.

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.

contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to
test the circuit in question.
Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6.
If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is
a short to ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2.
Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across
the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered).
- When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
- If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter
TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
The J 39200 instruction Data is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is
present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with
a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance
that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
- Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving.
- Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a
component or to other harnesses.
- If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used in
order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.

6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the
middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper
handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing:
- The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
- A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-C if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA
ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to
ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the
plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated
in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a
terminal for replacement.

1. Open the harness.
- If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
- To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
- If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire.
2. Cut the wire.
- Cut as little wire off the harness as possible.
- Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and
connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage.
3. Select the proper size and type of wire.
- The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link).
- The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating.
Page 827
IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value
in order to record the full change.
5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling
the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations.
6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has
been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the
value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9.
Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values.
- If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 volt or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
- If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
- Wiring broken inside the insulation
- Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector.
- Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter, improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the
connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor
terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-C or the J 38125-4 Instruction Data for terminal identification.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2.
Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or
green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J 38125-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

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

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

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

Inflatable Restraint Sensing And Diagnostic Module: Description and Operation
INFLATABLE RESTRAINT SENSING AND DIAGNOSTIC MODULE (SDM)
The Sensing And Diagnostic Module (SDM) is a microprocessor and the control center for the SIR
system. The SDM contains internal sensors along with several external sensors, if equipped,
mounted at strategic locations on the vehicle. In the event of a collision, the SDM compares the
signals from the internal and external sensors to a value stored in memory. When the generated
signals exceed the stored value, the SDM will cause current to flow through the appropriate
deployment loops to deploy the air bags. The SDM records the SIR system status when a
deployment occurs and turns the AIR BAG indicator located in the IPC ON. The SDM performs
continuous diagnostic monitoring of the SIR system electrical components and circuitry when the
ignition is turned ON. If the SDM detects a malfunction, a DTC will be stored and the SDM will
command the AIR BAG indicator ON, notifying the driver that a malfunction exist. In the event that
ignition positive voltage is lost during a collision, the SDM maintains a 23-volt loop reserve (23
VLR) for deployment of the air bags. It is important when disabling the SIR system for servicing or
rescue operations to allow the 23 VLR to dissipate, which could take up to 1 minute.

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.

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to provide repair information for this customer concern. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 04-01-38-019 (Section 01 - HVAC).
Condition
Some customers may comment on slow to cool Air Conditioning (A/C) performance or high A/C
outlet temperatures after start up or that the A/C system is not cooling sufficiently, especially in high
ambient temperatures. This may be an intermittent condition and the performance of the Heating,
Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system may not meet customer expectations.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the response of the Electro-Viscous (EV) fan clutch and can be
related to airflow across the condenser. This low A/C system performance can occur for longer
periods of time if the vehicle is allowed to idle or is driven in low speed conditions. The response of
the EV fan clutch will affect A/C system performance. As higher road speeds are attained, the
increased airflow across the condenser will usually improve A/C system performance and the
response of the EV fan clutch. This condition may be more evident after the vehicle has set for a
period of time and can be difficult to duplicate. The condition may occur after the vehicle has set for
as little as 10 minutes or as long as overnight. It is most prevalent intermittently during the first 15
minutes of operation.
Correction
Technicians are to replace the EV fan clutch with a new design part, P/N 15293048, on vehicles
built before June 2005. Vehicles built in June 2005 may already have the updated EV fan clutch
and it will not need to be replaced. For 2004 model year vehicles and older, update the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) with a software calibration that was developed to improve coolant
temperature gauge readings. This new calibration will cause the PCM to command small amounts
of additional fan engagement to better control engine coolant temperatures. Model year 2005
vehicles already have this calibration installed. Refer to Corporate Service Bulletin Number
04-06-02-005 for more information about this calibration.
Proper diagnosis of any customer concern is essential. Refer to the Diagnostic Starting
Point-Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning procedure in SI to begin a diagnosis of any HVAC
concerns. Refer to the Diagnostic Starting Point-Engine Cooling procedure in SI to begin a
diagnosis of any engine cooling or engine cooling fan concerns. If an attempt is made to diagnose
an HVAC system concern, all parameters must be measured. As an example, both the low and
high side refrigerant pressure readings must be measured. If only the low side pressure readings
were measured, it would appear that the A/C compressor is disengaging at a higher pressure than
expected. If both the low and high side pressures were being measured, it would be noted that the
A/C compressor is probably disengaging due to the maximum high side pressure cut out point
being reached. This occurs to protect the HVAC system from damage. The updated PCM software
calibration along with the updated EV fan clutch will improve this condition due to increased air flow
across the condenser. The new EV fan clutch has an increased minimum operating fan speed and
an improved response time. Additional engine cooling

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

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

This bulletin is being revised to add the 2007-2009 model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 01-07-30-010B (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle).
The purpose of this bulletin is to help technicians determine when a torque converter should be
replaced. Below is a list of general guidelines to follow.
The converter should NOT be replaced if the following apply:
^ DTC P0742 - TCC stuck on is set. This code is almost always the result of a controls condition
(i.e. stuck TCC solenoid/valve). Experience has shown that this code rarely indicates a mechanical
concern within the torque converter.
^ The fluid has an odor or is discolored but no evidence of metal contamination.
^ Fine metal particles (traces of metal flakes/gray color to fluid ) are found in the converter. This is
not harmful to the torque converter.
^ The vehicle has been exposed to high mileage.
^ A small amount of wear appears on the hub where the oil pump drive gear mates to the converter
(RWD only). A certain amount of such wear is normal for both the hub and oil pump gear. Neither
the converter nor the front pump assembly should be replaced.
The torque converter should be replaced under any of the following conditions:
^ The vehicle has TCC shudder and/or no TCC apply. First complete all electrical and hydraulic
diagnosis and check for proper engine operation. The converter clutch may be damaged. Also the
converter bushing and/or internal 0-ring may be damaged.
^ Evidence of damage to the oil pump assembly pump shaft turbine shaft drive sprocket support
and bearing or metal chips/debris in the converter.
^ Metal chips/debris are found in the converter or when flushing the cooler and the cooler lines.
^ External leaks in the hub weld area lug weld or closure weld.
^ Converter pilot is broken damaged or fits poorly into the crankshaft.
^ The converter hub is scored or damaged.
^ The transmission oil is contaminated with engine coolant engine oil or water.
^ If excessive end play is found after measuring the converter for proper end play (refer to Service
Manual).
^ If metal chips/debris are found in the fluid filter or on the magnet and no internal parts in the unit
are worn or damaged. This indicates that the material came from the converter.
^ The converter has an unbalanced condition that results in a vibration that cannot be corrected by
following Converter Vibration Procedures.
^ Blue converter or dark circular ring between lugs. This condition will also require a complete
cleaning of the cooler and a check for adequate flow

2007 Model Year Vehicles and Newer all have Digital OnStar(R) Modules.
Part 1
OnStar(R) Description and Operation
This OnStar(R) digital system consists of the following components:
^ Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
^ OnStar(R) button assembly
^ Microphone
^ Cellular antenna
^ Navigation antenna
Note
This system also interfaces with the factory installed vehicle audio system.
Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) is a cellular device that allows the user to
communicate data and voice signals over the national cellular network. Power is provided by a
dedicated, fused B+ circuit. Ground is provided through the vehicle wiring harness attached to the
module. The ignition state is determined by the VCIM through serial data messaging.
Dedicated circuits are used to connect the VCIM to a microphone, the button assembly, and to
command the status LED. The VCIM communicates with the rest of the vehicle modules using the
serial data bus.
The module houses 2 technology systems, one to process GPS data, and another for cellular
information. The cellular system connects the OnStar(R) system to the cellular carrier's
communication system by interacting with the national cellular infrastructure. The module sends
and receives all cellular communications over the cellular antenna and cellular antenna coax. GPS
satellites orbiting earth are constantly transmitting signals of their current location. The OnStar(R)
system uses the GPS signals to provide location on demand.
The module also has the capability of activating the horn, initiating door lock/unlock, or activating
the exterior lamps using the serial data circuits. These functions can be commanded by the
OnStar(R) Call Center per: a customer request.
OnStar(R) Button Assembly
The OnStar(R) button assembly may be part of the rearview mirror, or a separate, stand alone unit.
The button assembly is comprised of 3 buttons and a status LED. The buttons are defined as
follows:
^ The answer/end call button, which is black with a white phone icon, allows the user to answer
and end calls or initiate speech recognition.
^ The blue OnStar(R) call center button, which displays the OnStar(R) logo, allows the user to
connect to the OnStar(R) call center.
^ The emergency button, which displays a white cross with a red background, sends a high priority
emergency call to the OnStar(R) call center when pressed.
The VCIM supplies 10 volts to the OnStar(R) button assembly on the keypad supply voltage circuit.
When pressed, each button completes a circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be
returned to the VCIM on the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned the
VCIM is able to identify which button has been pressed.
The OnStar(R) status LED is located with the button assembly. The LED is green when the system
is ON and operating normally. When the status LED is green and flashing, it is an indication that a
call is in progress. When the LED is red, this indicates a system malfunction is present. In the event
there is a system malfunction and the OnStar(R) system is still able to make a call, the LED will
flash red during the call.
If the LED does not illuminate, this may indicate that the customers OnStar(R) subscription is not
active or has expired. Push the blue OnStar button to connect to an advisor who can then verify the
account status.
Each LED is controlled by the VCIM over dedicated LED signal circuits. Ground for the LED is
provided by the wiring harness attached to the button assembly.

Cabin Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation
AIR TEMPERATURE SENSORS
The air temperature sensors are a 2 wire negative temperature co-efficient thermistor. The vehicle
uses the following air temperature sensors: Ambient Air Temperature Sensor
- Inside Air Temperature Sensor Assembly
- Upper Left Air Temperature Sensor
- Upper Right Air Temperature Sensor
- Lower Left Air Temperature Sensor
- Lower Right Air Temperature Sensor
A signal and low reference circuit enables the sensor to operate. As the air temperature
surrounding the sensor increases, the sensor resistance decreases. The sensor signal voltage
decreases as the resistance decreases. The sensor operates within a temperature range between
-40°C (-40°F) to 101°C (215°F). The sensor signal varies between 0-5 volts.
The input of the duct air temperature sensors are different from the ambient and inside sensors.
The HVAC control module converts the signal to a range between 0-255 counts. As the air
temperature increases the count value will decrease.
If the HVAC control module detects a malfunctioning sensor, then the control module software will
use a defaulted air temperature value. The default value for the ambient and inside air temperature
sensors will be displayed on the scan tool. The default value for the duct air temperature sensors
will not be displayed on the scan tool. The scan tool parameter for the duct air temperature sensors
are the actual state of the signal circuit. The default action ensures that the HVAC system can
adjust the inside air temperature near the desired temperature until the condition is corrected.
The ambient air temperature sensor mounts underhood and can be affected by city traffic, by idling,
and by restarting a hot engine. Therefore, the HVAC control module filters the value of the ambient
air temperature sensor for temperature display. The ambient air temperature value is updated
under the following conditions:
The scan tool has the ability to update the displayed ambient air temperature. To update the
ambient air temperature display on the HVAC control module, perform the following procedure:
Simultaneously press the MODE, FRONT DEFROST and REAR DEFROST switches. 1. Turn ON
the ignition. 2. Simultaneously press the MODE, FRONT DEFROST and REAR DEFROST
switches.

If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-C. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure
if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
- Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
- Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
- When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
- Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
- Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
- If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

Drive Belt Vibration Diagnosis
Test Description The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.
2. This test is to verify that the symptom is present during diagnosing. Other vehicle components
may cause a similar symptom such as the exhaust
system, or the drivetrain.
3. This test is to verify that the drive belt(s) or accessory drive components may be causing the
vibration. When removing the drive belt the water
pump may not be operating and the engine may overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is
operating with the drive belt removed.
4. The drive belt(s) may cause a vibration. While the drive belt(s) is removed this is the best time to
inspect the condition of the belt. 6. Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that a
wrong bolt, nut, spacer, or washer was installed. 8. This step should only be performed if the fan is
driven by the drive belt. Inspect the engine cooling fan for bent, twisted, loose, or cracked blades.
Inspect the fan clutch for smoothness, ease of turning. Inspect for a bent fan shaft or bent mounting
flange.
9. This step should only be performed if the water pump is driven by the drive belt. Inspect the
water pump shaft for being bent. Also inspect the
water pump bearings for smoothness and excessive play. Compare the water pump with a known
good water pump.
10. Accessory drive component brackets that are bent, cracked, or loose may put extra strain on
that accessory component causing it to vibrate.
Drive Belt Whine
Drive Belt Whine Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids The drive belt(s) will not cause the whine noise. If the whine noise is intermittent,
verify the accessory drive components by varying their loads making sure they are operated to their
maximum capacity. Such items but not limited to may be an A/C system overcharged, the power
steering system restricted or the wrong fluid, or the generator failing.

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

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

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add step 2 to the procedure and update the Parts and Warranty
Information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 04-05-25-002D (Section 05 - Brakes).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the ABS light is on. Upon further inspection, DTCs C0265 and
C0201 may be set in the brake module. It is also possible for DTC U1041 to set in other modules.
There may also be a loss of communication with the brake module.
Cause
A poor connection at the EBCM ground is causing unnecessary replacement of brake modules.
Important:
The EBCM ground is different for each application. Refer to the list below for the proper ground
reference:
^ Midsize Utilities = Ground 304
^ SSR = Ground 400
^ Fullsize Trucks and Utilities = Ground 110
Correction
Important:
Do not replace the brake module to correct this condition. Perform the following repair before
further diagnosis of the EBCM.
Perform the following steps to improve the connection of the EBCM Ground:
1. Remove the EBCM Ground. The EBCM Ground is located on the frame beneath the driver's side
door. If multiple grounds are found in this location, the EBCM ground can be identified as the heavy
(12-gauge) wire.
2. If the original fastener has a welded on nut, remove the nut from the frame, and if required,
enlarge the bolt hole to accommodate the new bolt and nut.
3. Clean the area, front and back, using a tool such as a *3M(TM) Scotch-Brite Roloc disc or

Subject:
Intermittent Hesitation, Stumble or Idle Stall after Soak, Harsh 1-2 Shift, Slipping 1-2 Shift Followed
by a Harsh Engagement (Reprogram PCM)
Models: 2002-2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer 2002-2003 GMC Envoy 2002-2003 Oldsmobile Bravada
with 4.2L Engine (VIN S - RPO LL8)
Condition
Some customers may comment on an intermittent hesitation/stumble or idle stall within minutes of
starting after the vehicle has been sitting for several hours. Additionally, some customers with a
2003 model year vehicle may comment on a harsh 1-2 shift or 1-2 slip shift that has a bump feeling
when 2nd gear engages.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the EVAP diagnostic test as it opens the purge valve for a few
seconds and then closes it to verify proper emission sensor operation. If the purge canister is
saturated, the EVAP system on-board diagnostic test may cause the vehicle to correct for a rich
condition from the canister. The vehicle would then become lean when the purge valve closes at
the completion of the test. This condition occurs primarily with high RVP fuel and after the vehicle
sits for several hours in a warm ambient, above 21°C (70°F). A customer who takes short trips is
more likely to experience this condition, as they don't have the drive cycle that would allow the
purge canister to fully re-circulate the fuel vapor.
Correction
For Hesitation, Stumble or Idle Stall:
Follow the SI diagnostics for the stall/stumble condition. If the result is no trouble found, then
reprogram the module with the latest calibration.
For Harsh or Slipping Shifts on 2003 Model Year vehicles:
Reprogram the module with the latest calibration.
The calibrations listed are electronic calibrations and are NOT available from GMSPO. Calibrations
will be available from Techline starting September 2003, on the TIS 2003 Disc 10.0 CD ROM.

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

Alignment: Description and Operation
Caster Description
Caster is the tilting of the uppermost point of the steering axis either forward or backward, when
viewed from the side of the vehicle. A backward tilt is positive (+) and a forward tilt is negative (-).
Caster influences directional control of the steering but does not affect the tire wear and is not
adjustable on this vehicle. Caster is affected by the vehicle height, therefore it is important to keep
the body at its designed height. Overloading the vehicle or a weak or sagging rear spring will affect
caster. When the rear of the vehicle is lower than its designated trim height, the front suspension
moves to a more positive caster. If the rear of the vehicle is higher than its designated trim height,
the front suspension moves to a less positive caster. With too little positive caster, steering may be
touchy at high speed and wheel returnability may be diminished when coming out of a turn. If one
wheel has more positive caster than the other, that wheel will pull toward the center of the vehicle.
This condition will cause the vehicle to pull or lead to the side with the least amount of positive
caster.
Camber Description
Camber 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.

Phase three will eliminate the oil pump body 0-ring seal groove and the 0-ring seal. Beginning
March 2004, a new stamped carrier molded rubber seal (2) will be used to seal the pump assembly
to the transmission case.
The pump sealing surface is now the outer diameter of the pump and the inner diameter (1) of the
transmission case bore. Unlike the current 0-ring seal, which is installed on the oil pump body, the
new seal is installed after the pump assembly is properly positioned and torqued in place. Seating
the seal is accomplished when the torque converter housing is installed, which presses the seal (3)
into position between the pump and the case bore (1).
As a result of the modified casting and the deeper pump bore machining, the area between the oil
pan mounting surface and the pump bore has decreased. Because of the reduced material in this
area (1) it is necessary to use the shorter oil pan attaching bolts (2). Early pan bolts (3), before
November 2002, should not be used with the modified case design, since they are 1.0 mm (0.39 in)
longer and could deform the chamfer surface (4).

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

Spark Plug: Service and Repair
Spark Plug Replacement
Removal Procedure
1. Turn OFF the ignition switch. 2. Remove the ignition coils. Refer to Ignition Coil Replacement.
Notice: Allow the engine to cool before removing the spark plugs. Attempting to remove the spark
plugs from a hot engine may cause the plug threads to seize, causing damage to cylinder head
threads.
Notice: Clean the spark plug recess area before removing the spark plug. Failure to do so could
result in engine damage because of dirt or foreign material entering the cylinder head, or by the
contamination of the cylinder head threads. The contaminated threads may prevent the proper
seating of the new plug. Use a thread chaser to clean the threads of any contamination.
3. Remove the spark plugs from the engine.
Installation Procedure
Notice: Use only the spark plugs specified for use in the vehicle. Do not install spark plugs that are
either hotter or colder than those specified for the vehicle. Installing spark plugs of another type can
severely damage the engine.
Notice: Check the gap of all new and reconditioned spark plugs before installation. The pre-set
gaps may have changed during handling. Use a round feeler gauge to ensure an accurate check.
Installing the spark plugs with the wrong gap can cause poor engine performance and may even
damage the engine.
1. Measure the spark plug gap on the spark plugs to be installed. Compare the measurement to the
gap specifications. Refer to Ignition System
Specifications, See: Specifications Correct as necessary.
Notice: Be sure that the spark plug threads smoothly into the cylinder head and the spark plug is
fully seated. Use a thread chaser, if necessary, to clean threads in the cylinder head.
Cross-threading or failing to fully seat the spark plug can cause overheating of the plug, exhaust
blow-by, or thread damage.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct
part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of
thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints,
lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These
coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the
correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage
to parts and systems.

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

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.

Condition
Some customers may comment on higher than normal engine coolant temperature gauge readings
when operating the vehicle in very high outside ambient temperatures, and in stop and go or slow
moving traffic.
Cause
Reduced air flow across the radiator and preheated air from stopped or slow moving driving
conditions from traffic congestion may result in normally higher engine coolant operating
temperatures as indicated by the temperature gauge.
Correction
Technicians are to reprogram the PCM with an updated software calibration. This new service
calibration was released with TIS satellite data update version 7.3 available July 7, 2004. As
always, make sure your TECH 2(R) is updated with the latest software version.
This new calibration will cause the PCM to command small amounts of additional fan engagement
to control engine coolant temperatures and gauge readings closer to a customer perception of
normal.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table. 1. This step verifies that the
RAP power mode function is malfunctioning by checking functions internally enabled by the BCM.
4. The BCM sends Class 2 messages to other control modules via the serial data link, allowing
them to operate in RAP power mode. Lack of
communication may be due to a partial malfunction of the class 2 serial data circuit or due to a total
malfunction of the class 2 serial data circuit. The specified procedure will determine the particular

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

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

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

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor
The camshaft position (CMP) sensor is triggered by a notched reluctor wheel built into the exhaust
camshaft sprocket. The CMP sensor provides six signal pulses every camshaft revolution. Each
notch, or feature of the reluctor wheel is of a different size for individual cylinder identification. This
means the CMP and CKP signals are pulse width encoded to enable the PCM to constantly
monitor their relationship. This relationship is used to determine camshaft actuator position and
control its phasing at the correct value. The PCM also uses this signal to identify the compression
stroke of each cylinder, and for sequential fuel injection. The CMP sensor is connected to the PCM
by a 12-volt, low reference, and signal circuit.

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

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

Subject: Underhood Tick Noise at Idle (Reprogram PCM)
Models: 2004 Buick Rainier 2002-2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer Models 2002-2004 GMC Envoy
Models 2002-2004 Oldsmobile Bravada
Condition
Some customers may comment on an underhood tick noise heard while the vehicle is idling.
Technicians may find that the noise does not increase or decrease with changes in the engine idle
RPM. The tick noise occurs at approximately one second intervals.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the electro-viscous fan clutch control function of the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) attempting to keep the fan speed between 300-600 revolutions per minute
(RPM). At idle, the cooling fan speed will drag to approximately 500 RPM then oscillate between
300 and 600 RPM. When the fan speed drops below 500 RPM, the PCM will pulse the fan control
solenoid. The pulsing of the solenoid is the cause of the ticking noise.
Correction
Technicians are to verify that the cooling fan clutch is the source of the noise by using either one of
the following two methods:
^ Use a Tech 2(R) to command the cooling fan off. If the ticking noise goes away, the pulsing of the
cooling fan clutch is the source of the noise.
^ The cooling fan clutch electrical connector, located on the cooling fan shroud, may be
disconnected with the engine off. If the ticking noise goes away, the pulsing of the cooling fan
clutch is the source of the noise. Be sure to clear any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) that may
have set while the cooling fan clutch is disconnected.
Technicians are to reprogram the PCM with an updated software calibration. The new software
calibration is currently available in TIS for all the vehicles listed above.

Tires: Technical Service Bulletins Tires - Correct Inflation Pressure Information
INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 00-00-90-002J
Date: January 28, 2009
Subject: Information on Proper Tire Pressure
Models: 2010 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2009 and
Prior HUMMER H2, H3, H3T 2005-2009 Saab 9-7X
Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add model years and clarify additional information. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 00-00-90-002I (Section 00 - General Information).
Important:
^ Adjustment of tire pressure for a customer with a Low Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) light on and
no codes in the TPM system is NOT a warrantable repair. Claims to simply adjust the tire pressure
will be rejected.
^ ALL tires (including the spare tire) MUST be set to the recommended inflation pressure stated on
the vehicle's tire placard (on driver's door) during the PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION (PDI).
Recommended inflation pressure is not the pressure printed on tire sidewall.
^ Tires may be over-inflated from the assembly plant due to the mounting process.
^ Generally a 5.6°C (10°F) temperature change will result in (is equivalent to) a 6.9 kPa (1 psi) tire
pressure change.
^ 2008-2009 HUMMER H2 Only - The H2 comes standard with Light Truck "D" Load Range tires
with a recommended cold inflation pressure of 289 kPa (42 psi). These tires will alert the driver to a
low pressure situation at roughly 262 kPa (38 psi) due to a requirement in FMVSS 138 which
specifies a Minimum Activation Pressure for each tire type. This creates a relatively narrow window
of "usable" pressure values and the warning will be more sensitive to outside temperature changes
during the colder months. As with other cold temperature/tire pressure issues, there is nothing
wrong with the system itself. If a vehicle is brought in with this concern, check for tire damage and
set all tires to the Recommended Cold Inflation Pressure shown on the vehicle placard.
Accurate tire pressures ensure the safe handling and appropriate ride characteristics of GM cars
and trucks. It is critical that the tire pressure be adjusted to the specifications on the vehicle¡C■s
tire placard during PDI.
Ride, handling and road noise concerns may be caused by improperly adjusted tire pressure.
The first step in the diagnosis of these concerns is to verify that the tires are inflated to the correct
pressures. The recommended tire inflation pressure is listed on the vehicle¡C■s tire placard. The
tire placard is located on the driver¡C■s side front or rear door edge, center pillar, or the rear
compartment lid.
Tip
^ Generally a 5.6°C (10°F) temperature increase will result in (is equivalent to) a 6.9 kPa (1 psi) tire
pressure increase.
^ The definition of a "cold" tire is one that has been sitting for at least 3 hours, or driven no more
than 1.6 km (1 mi).
^ On extremely cold days, if the vehicle has been indoors, it may be necessary to compensate for
the low external temperature by adding additional air to the tire during PDI.
^ During cold weather, the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) indicator light (a yellow horseshoe with an
exclamation point) may illuminate. If this indicator turns off after the tires warm up (reach operating
temperature), the tire pressure should be reset to placard pressure at the cold temperature.
^ The TPM system will work correctly with nitrogen in tires.
^ The TPM system is compatible with the GM Vehicle Care Tire Sealant but may not be with other
commercially available sealants.
Important:
^ Do not use the tire pressure indicated on the tire itself as a guide.

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

OnStar(R) Microphone
The OnStar(R), or cellular microphone, can be a part of the rearview mirror assembly, or on some
vehicle lines, a separate, stand alone unit.
In either case, the VCIM supplies approximately 10 volts to the microphone on the cellular
microphone signal circuit, and voice data from the user is sent back to the VCIM over the same
circuit. A cellular microphone low reference circuit or a drain wire provides a ground for the
microphone.
Cellular and GPS Antennas
The vehicle will be equipped with one of the following types of antennas:
^ Separate, stand-alone cellular and navigation (GPS) antennas.
^ A combination cellular and navigation (GPS) antenna, which brings the functions of both into a
single part.
^ A cellular, GPS, and digital radio receiver (DRR) antenna, which also incorporates the
functionality of the DRR satellite antenna (XM).
The cellular antenna is the component that allows the OnStar(R) system to send and receive data
using electromagnetic waves by means of cellular technology. The antenna is connected at the
base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM.
The GPS antenna is used to collect the signals of the orbiting GPS satellites. Within the antenna is
housed a low noise amplifier that allows for a more broad and precise reception of this data. The
antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The cable also
provides a path for DC current for powering the antenna.
The OnStar(R) Call Center also has the capability of communicating with the vehicle during an
OnStar(R) call to retrieve the latest GPS location and transmit it to the OnStar(R) Call Center. A
history location of the last recorded position of the vehicle is stored in the module and marked as
aged, for as long as the module power is not removed. Actual GPS location may take up to 10
minutes to register in the event of a loss of power.
Audio System Interface
When the OnStar(R) requires audio output, a serial data message is sent to the audio system to
mute all radio functions and transmit OnStar(R) originated audio. The OnStar(R) audio is
transmitted to the vehicle audio system by a dedicated signal circuit and a low reference circuit.
The audio system will mute and an audible ring will be heard though the speakers if the vehicle
receives a call with the radio ON.
On some vehicles, the HVAC blower speed may be reduced when the OnStar(R) system is active
to aid in reducing interior noise. When the system is no longer active, the blower speed will return
to its previous setting.
OnStar(R) Steering Wheel Controls
Some vehicles may have a button on the steering wheel, that when pushed can engage the
OnStar(R) system. The button may be a symbol of a face with sound waves, or may say MUTE, or
be a symbol of a radio speaker with a slash through it.
By engaging the OnStar(R) system with this feature, the user can interact with the system by use of
voice commands. A complete list of these commands is supplied in the information provided to the
customer. If the information is not available for reference, at any command prompt, the user can
say "HELP" and the VCIM will return an audible list of available commands.
The steering wheel controls consist of multiple momentary contact switches and a resistor network.
The switches and resistor network are arranged so that each switch has a different resistance
value. When a switch is pressed, a voltage drop occurs in the resistor network. This produces a
specific voltage value unique to the switch selected, to be interpreted by the radio or the body
control module (BCM).
OnStar(R) Power Moding (DRX or Sleep Cycle)
The OnStar(R) system uses a unique sleep cycle to allow the system to receive cellular calls while
the ignition is in the OFF position and retained accessory power (RAP) mode has ended.
A green status LED on the OnStar(R) keypad normally indicates an active OnStar(R) account. The
OnStar(R) system will stay powered up after ignition off for an extended time in order to allow for
remote services like door unlock, horn honk, light flash, etcetera to take place as requested by the
customer. Power cycle (also referred to as DRX) times vary depending on the generation of the
OnStar(R) system. Technicians may identify the OnStar(R) system generation by using a Tech 2
and following this menu path: (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by
accessing www.onstarenrollment.com
All Generation 6 digital systems are powered up continuously for 48 hours from ignition OFF. After
48 hours, the Generation 6 systems will enter a 9 minute OFF, 1 minute ON power cycle for an
additional 72 hours. At the beginning and end of the 1 minute ON stage, you may or may not
experience a short spike of current at the beginning and at the end. This allows for calls from
OnStar to be received by the system. After 120 hours from ignition OFF,

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

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

11. Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions for the solder equipment.
12. Tape the splice. Roll on enough tape in order to duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the
existing wires.
13. Additional tape can be applied to the wire if the wire does not belong in a conduit or another
harness covering. Use a winding motion in order to
cover the first piece of tape.

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).

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.

Replacement, Power Loss Or Battery Replacement
Models: 2009 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn) 2009 and Prior
HUMMER H2, H3 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X
with Navigation Radio
The purpose of this bulletin is to inform technicians and customers that the Navigation Radio may
not display the vehicle location icon on the map accurately after a radio or battery has been
replaced or after battery power has been removed from the radio. The vehicle location icon
accuracy may be degraded if the GPS signal is not available and the GPS displayed icon has a red
line through it.
The Navigation Radio does not keep learned GPS information or gyroscope and vehicle speed
signals stored when the battery power is removed from the radio. The Navigation radio continually
uses GPS, gyroscope and vehicle speed data to maintain the vehicle location icon positioned
accurately on the displayed map. There may be periods of time during a drive cycle when the GPS
signal may not be available and the vehicle location icon still appears to be accurate. This is due to
the radio having internal gyroscopes and receiving a vehicle speed signal to maintain accuracy if
the radio had received a good GPS signal earlier in the drive cycle.
Normal driving will improve the accuracy of the vehicle location icon on the displayed map. It may
be necessary for the vehicle to be driven up to 40 km (25 mi) with 15 left and 15 right turns while
the vehicle location icon is matched to roads on the displayed map. Do not replace the radio for this
condition.

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

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

Condition
Some customers may comment on higher than normal engine coolant temperature gauge readings
when operating the vehicle in very high outside ambient temperatures, and in stop and go or slow
moving traffic.
Cause
Reduced air flow across the radiator and preheated air from stopped or slow moving driving
conditions from traffic congestion may result in normally higher engine coolant operating
temperatures as indicated by the temperature gauge.
Correction
Technicians are to reprogram the PCM with an updated software calibration. This new service
calibration was released with TIS satellite data update version 7.3 available July 7, 2004. As
always, make sure your TECH 2(R) is updated with the latest software version.
This new calibration will cause the PCM to command small amounts of additional fan engagement
to control engine coolant temperatures and gauge readings closer to a customer perception of
normal.

2007 Model Year Vehicles and Newer all have Digital OnStar(R) Modules.
Part 1
OnStar(R) Description and Operation
This OnStar(R) digital system consists of the following components:
^ Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
^ OnStar(R) button assembly
^ Microphone
^ Cellular antenna
^ Navigation antenna
Note
This system also interfaces with the factory installed vehicle audio system.
Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) is a cellular device that allows the user to
communicate data and voice signals over the national cellular network. Power is provided by a
dedicated, fused B+ circuit. Ground is provided through the vehicle wiring harness attached to the
module. The ignition state is determined by the VCIM through serial data messaging.
Dedicated circuits are used to connect the VCIM to a microphone, the button assembly, and to
command the status LED. The VCIM communicates with the rest of the vehicle modules using the
serial data bus.
The module houses 2 technology systems, one to process GPS data, and another for cellular
information. The cellular system connects the OnStar(R) system to the cellular carrier's
communication system by interacting with the national cellular infrastructure. The module sends
and receives all cellular communications over the cellular antenna and cellular antenna coax. GPS
satellites orbiting earth are constantly transmitting signals of their current location. The OnStar(R)
system uses the GPS signals to provide location on demand.
The module also has the capability of activating the horn, initiating door lock/unlock, or activating
the exterior lamps using the serial data circuits. These functions can be commanded by the
OnStar(R) Call Center per: a customer request.
OnStar(R) Button Assembly
The OnStar(R) button assembly may be part of the rearview mirror, or a separate, stand alone unit.
The button assembly is comprised of 3 buttons and a status LED. The buttons are defined as
follows:
^ The answer/end call button, which is black with a white phone icon, allows the user to answer
and end calls or initiate speech recognition.
^ The blue OnStar(R) call center button, which displays the OnStar(R) logo, allows the user to
connect to the OnStar(R) call center.
^ The emergency button, which displays a white cross with a red background, sends a high priority
emergency call to the OnStar(R) call center when pressed.
The VCIM supplies 10 volts to the OnStar(R) button assembly on the keypad supply voltage circuit.
When pressed, each button completes a circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be
returned to the VCIM on the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned the
VCIM is able to identify which button has been pressed.
The OnStar(R) status LED is located with the button assembly. The LED is green when the system
is ON and operating normally. When the status LED is green and flashing, it is an indication that a
call is in progress. When the LED is red, this indicates a system malfunction is present. In the event
there is a system malfunction and the OnStar(R) system is still able to make a call, the LED will
flash red during the call.
If the LED does not illuminate, this may indicate that the customers OnStar(R) subscription is not
active or has expired. Push the blue OnStar button to connect to an advisor who can then verify the
account status.
Each LED is controlled by the VCIM over dedicated LED signal circuits. Ground for the LED is
provided by the wiring harness attached to the button assembly.

^ The 1-year OnStar(R) subscription is not refundable or transferable to another person. Upgraders
can apply unused subscription months to a new or Certified Pre-Owned digital OnStar-equipped
GM vehicle purchase or lease. As noted above, the digital upgrade program requires the
subscriber to purchase a one-year prepaid OnStar(R) subscription. Assuming the subscriber
intends to keep their vehicle, but subsequently purchases or leases a 2006 model year or newer
OnStar(R)-equipped new or certified used GM vehicle, in the interest of subscriber satisfaction,
they may apply remaining unused whole months of the subscription to the new vehicle. The
subscription may not be applied to another person's vehicle.
Important:
This is a customer satisfaction measure that would usually occur several months after an upgrade.
It is not intended to be leveraged as part of a new/used vehicle purchase or lease transaction.
^ The $15 charge is not refundable.
^ Dealer ADT kit orders are VIN specific. Dealer kit orders require a VIN and must be exchanged
with the OnStar(R) unit in the vehicle with that VIN. Proper activation and enrollment depends on
this step.
^ You must put the actual miles on the Repair Order. Do not estimate.
^ Customers will receive a Hands-Free Calling number once the digital hardware is installed and
configured.
^ Any nametags that were stored in the old system will need to be re-set by the subscriber once the
new hardware is installed.
^ Customers are responsible for the charges described above regardless of whether their vehicle is

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

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

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

Lock Cylinder Switch: Description and Operation
IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER CASE, INCLUDING THE PASSLOCK(TM) SENSOR
The ignition lock cylinder fits inside the ignition lock cylinder case and operates the ignition switch
when turned by a key with the proper mechanical cut.
When the ignition key is used to turn the ignition lock cylinder to crank, start, a magnet on the lock
cylinder passes close to the Passlock(TM) Sensor within the ignition lock cylinder case. The
magnet activates the Security Hall Effect Sensor in the Passlock(TM) Sensor which completes a
circuit from the security sensor signal circuit through a resistor to the security sensor low reference
circuit. The resistance value will vary from vehicle to vehicle.
If a magnet from outside of the ignition lock cylinder case is used to attempt to steal the vehicle, the
Tamper Hall Effect Sensor will be activated. This completes a circuit from the security sensor signal
circuit through a tamper resistor to the security sensor low reference circuit bypassing the security
resistor. If the ignition switch is forced to rotate without the correct key, or if the ignition lock
cylinder is removed by force, the Passlock(TM) Sensor will be damaged and will not operate.

Cabin Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation
AIR TEMPERATURE SENSORS
The air temperature sensors are a 2 wire negative temperature co-efficient thermistor. The vehicle
uses the following air temperature sensors: Ambient Air Temperature Sensor
- Inside Air Temperature Sensor Assembly
- Upper Left Air Temperature Sensor
- Upper Right Air Temperature Sensor
- Lower Left Air Temperature Sensor
- Lower Right Air Temperature Sensor
A signal and low reference circuit enables the sensor to operate. As the air temperature
surrounding the sensor increases, the sensor resistance decreases. The sensor signal voltage
decreases as the resistance decreases. The sensor operates within a temperature range between
-40°C (-40°F) to 101°C (215°F). The sensor signal varies between 0-5 volts.
The input of the duct air temperature sensors are different from the ambient and inside sensors.
The HVAC control module converts the signal to a range between 0-255 counts. As the air
temperature increases the count value will decrease.
If the HVAC control module detects a malfunctioning sensor, then the control module software will
use a defaulted air temperature value. The default value for the ambient and inside air temperature
sensors will be displayed on the scan tool. The default value for the duct air temperature sensors
will not be displayed on the scan tool. The scan tool parameter for the duct air temperature sensors
are the actual state of the signal circuit. The default action ensures that the HVAC system can
adjust the inside air temperature near the desired temperature until the condition is corrected.
The ambient air temperature sensor mounts underhood and can be affected by city traffic, by idling,
and by restarting a hot engine. Therefore, the HVAC control module filters the value of the ambient
air temperature sensor for temperature display. The ambient air temperature value is updated
under the following conditions:
The scan tool has the ability to update the displayed ambient air temperature. To update the
ambient air temperature display on the HVAC control module, perform the following procedure:
Simultaneously press the MODE, FRONT DEFROST and REAR DEFROST switches. 1. Turn ON
the ignition. 2. Simultaneously press the MODE, FRONT DEFROST and REAR DEFROST
switches.

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.

occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA
ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to
ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the
plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated
in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a
terminal for replacement.
Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips
SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS
IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and
seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves.
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
1. Open the harness.
- If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
- To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
- If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire.
2. Cut the wire.
- Cut as little wire off the harness as possible.
- Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and
connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage.
3. Select the proper size and type of wire.
- The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link).
- The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating.

During the 2004 model year, there was a design change made to the engine oil pick up tube and
the front cover as shown. The first design parts used in production for 2002, 2003 and part of 2004
model year used an 0-ring type seal between the pick up tube and the front cover. The second
design parts began production during the 2004 model year and use a face type seal.
Anytime the front cover or oil pick up tube are being serviced, be sure to identify which design is
being serviced. The correct pick up tube must be used with its corresponding front cover or an
engine failure could result.
Any vehicle requiring a new front cover must be serviced with the second design front cover,
therefore, the engine oil pick up tube must be replaced at the same time.

Alignment: Service and Repair Wheel Alignment Measuring Procedures
Inspection and Preparation
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 is the vehicle deviation from a straight path on a level road without
pressure on the steering wheel.
Before performing any adjustment affecting wheel alignment, perform the following inspections and
adjustments in order to ensure correct alignment readings: ^
Inspect the tires for the proper inflation and irregular tire wear.
^ Irregular or premature wear
^ Inspect the runout of the wheels and the tires.
^ Inspect the wheel bearings for backlash and excessive play.
^ Inspect the ball joints and tie rod ends for looseness or wear.
^ Inspect the control arms and stabilizer shaft for looseness or wear.
^ Inspect the steering gear for looseness at the frame.
^ Inspect the struts/shock absorbers for wear, leaks, and any noticeable noises.
^ Inspect the vehicle trim height.
^ Inspect the steering wheel for excessive drag or poor return due to stiff or rusted linkage or
suspension components.
^ Inspect the fuel level. The fuel tank should be full or the vehicle should have a compensating load
added.
Give consideration to excess loads, such as tool boxes, sample cases, etc. If normally carried in
the vehicle, these items should remain in the vehicle during alignment adjustments. Give
consideration also to the condition of the equipment being used for the alignment. Follow the
equipment manufacturer's instructions. Satisfactory vehicle operation may occur over a wide range
of alignment settings. However, if the setting exceeds the service allowable specifications, correct
the alignment to the service preferred specifications.
Alignment Angle Measurement
Perform the following steps in order to measure the front and rear alignment angles: 1. Install the
alignment equipment according to the manufacturer's instructions. 2. Jounce the front and the rear
bumpers 3 times prior to checking the wheel alignment. 3. Measure the alignment angles and
record the readings.
Important: When performing adjustments to vehicles requiring a 4-wheel alignment, set the rear
wheel alignment angles first in order to obtain proper front alignment angles.
4. Adjust alignment angles to vehicle specification, if necessary.

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

Installation Procedure
Page 13911
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-C. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure
if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
- Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
- Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
- When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
- Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
- Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
- If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

Camshaft Actuator System
Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Camshaft Actuator System
CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) ACTUATOR SYSTEM
The Camshaft Position Actuator system is used for a variety of engine performance enhancements.
These enhancements include lower emission output through exhaust gas recirculation control, a
wider engine torque range, improved gas millage, and improved engine idle stability. The CMP
Actuator system accomplishes this by controlling the amount of intake and exhaust valve overlap.
CMP ACTUATOR SYSTEM OPERATION
The CMP Actuator system is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM sends
a pulse width modulated 12 volt signal to a Camshaft Position (CMP) Actuator Solenoid in order to
control the amount of engine oil flow to a cam Phaser passage. There are two different passages
for oil to flow through, a passage for cam advance and a passage for cam retard. The Cam Phaser
is attached to a camshaft and is hydraulically operated in order to change the angle of the camshaft
relative to crankshaft position. Engine oil pressure, viscosity, temperature and engine oil level can
have an adverse affect on cam phaser performance. The PCM calculates the optimum cam
position through the following inputs: Engine Speed
- Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP)
- Throttle Position (TP) Indicated Angle
- Crankshaft Position (CKP)
- Camshaft Position (CMP)
- Engine Load.
- Barometric (BARO) Pressure
The Cam Phaser default position is 0 degrees. The PCM uses the following inputs before assuming
control of the cam phaser: Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
- Closed Loop Fuel Control
- Engine Oil Temperature
- Engine Oil Pressure
- Engine Oil Level
- CMP Actuator Solenoid circuit state
- Ignition 1 signal voltage
- Barometric (BARO) Pressure
CMP ACTUATOR SOLENOID CIRCUIT DIAGNOSTICS
The PCM monitors the control circuits of the CMP Actuator Solenoid for electrical faults. The PCM
has the ability to determine if a control circuit is open, shorted high, and shorted low. If the PCM
detects a fault with a CMP Actuator Solenoid circuit a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set.
CMP ACTUATOR SYSTEM PERFORMANCE DIAGNOSTICS
The PCM monitors the performance of the CMP Actuator system by monitoring the actual and
desired positions of a cam phaser. If the difference between the actual and desired position is more
than a calibrated angle for more than a calibrated amount of time, a DTC will set.

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

Probing Electrical Connectors
PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS
IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal
position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals.
Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the
connector.
NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-A Connector Test Adapter Kit or the J
42675 Flat Wire Probe Adapter Kit in order to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other
substitutes as they can damage terminals and cause incorrect measurements.

IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value
in order to record the full change.
5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling
the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations.
6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has
been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the
value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9.
Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values.
- If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 volt or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
- If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
- Wiring broken inside the insulation
- Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector.
- Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter, improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the
connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor
terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-C or the J 38125-4 Instruction Data for terminal identification.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2.
Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or
green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J 38125-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

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

Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors.
Backprobe
IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
- Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector.
- Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
- After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a
trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot.
The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows
comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a
first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be
lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
- Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
- Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information

Phase three will eliminate the oil pump body 0-ring seal groove and the 0-ring seal. Beginning
March 2004, a new stamped carrier molded rubber seal (2) will be used to seal the pump assembly
to the transmission case.
The pump sealing surface is now the outer diameter of the pump and the inner diameter (1) of the
transmission case bore. Unlike the current 0-ring seal, which is installed on the oil pump body, the
new seal is installed after the pump assembly is properly positioned and torqued in place. Seating
the seal is accomplished when the torque converter housing is installed, which presses the seal (3)
into position between the pump and the case bore (1).
As a result of the modified casting and the deeper pump bore machining, the area between the oil
pan mounting surface and the pump bore has decreased. Because of the reduced material in this
area (1) it is necessary to use the shorter oil pan attaching bolts (2). Early pan bolts (3), before
November 2002, should not be used with the modified case design, since they are 1.0 mm (0.39 in)
longer and could deform the chamfer surface (4).

Engine Controls - Underhood Ticking Noise
Fan Clutch: Customer Interest Engine Controls - Underhood Ticking Noise
Bulletin No.: 05-06-02-004
Date: April 06, 2005
TECHNICAL
Subject: Underhood Tick Noise at Idle (Reprogram PCM)
Models: 2004 Buick Rainier 2002-2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer Models 2002-2004 GMC Envoy
Models 2002-2004 Oldsmobile Bravada
Condition
Some customers may comment on an underhood tick noise heard while the vehicle is idling.
Technicians may find that the noise does not increase or decrease with changes in the engine idle
RPM. The tick noise occurs at approximately one second intervals.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the electro-viscous fan clutch control function of the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) attempting to keep the fan speed between 300-600 revolutions per minute
(RPM). At idle, the cooling fan speed will drag to approximately 500 RPM then oscillate between
300 and 600 RPM. When the fan speed drops below 500 RPM, the PCM will pulse the fan control
solenoid. The pulsing of the solenoid is the cause of the ticking noise.
Correction
Technicians are to verify that the cooling fan clutch is the source of the noise by using either one of
the following two methods:
^ Use a Tech 2(R) to command the cooling fan off. If the ticking noise goes away, the pulsing of the
cooling fan clutch is the source of the noise.
^ The cooling fan clutch electrical connector, located on the cooling fan shroud, may be
disconnected with the engine off. If the ticking noise goes away, the pulsing of the cooling fan
clutch is the source of the noise. Be sure to clear any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) that may
have set while the cooling fan clutch is disconnected.
Technicians are to reprogram the PCM with an updated software calibration. The new software
calibration is currently available in TIS for all the vehicles listed above.

OnStar(R) Microphone
The OnStar(R), or cellular microphone, can be a part of the rearview mirror assembly, or on some
vehicle lines, a separate, stand alone unit.
In either case, the VCIM supplies approximately 10 volts to the microphone on the cellular
microphone signal circuit, and voice data from the user is sent back to the VCIM over the same
circuit. A cellular microphone low reference circuit or a drain wire provides a ground for the
microphone.
Cellular and GPS Antennas
The vehicle will be equipped with one of the following types of antennas:
^ Separate, stand-alone cellular and navigation (GPS) antennas.
^ A combination cellular and navigation (GPS) antenna, which brings the functions of both into a
single part.
^ A cellular, GPS, and digital radio receiver (DRR) antenna, which also incorporates the
functionality of the DRR satellite antenna (XM).
The cellular antenna is the component that allows the OnStar(R) system to send and receive data
using electromagnetic waves by means of cellular technology. The antenna is connected at the
base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM.
The GPS antenna is used to collect the signals of the orbiting GPS satellites. Within the antenna is
housed a low noise amplifier that allows for a more broad and precise reception of this data. The
antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The cable also
provides a path for DC current for powering the antenna.
The OnStar(R) Call Center also has the capability of communicating with the vehicle during an
OnStar(R) call to retrieve the latest GPS location and transmit it to the OnStar(R) Call Center. A
history location of the last recorded position of the vehicle is stored in the module and marked as
aged, for as long as the module power is not removed. Actual GPS location may take up to 10
minutes to register in the event of a loss of power.
Audio System Interface
When the OnStar(R) requires audio output, a serial data message is sent to the audio system to
mute all radio functions and transmit OnStar(R) originated audio. The OnStar(R) audio is
transmitted to the vehicle audio system by a dedicated signal circuit and a low reference circuit.
The audio system will mute and an audible ring will be heard though the speakers if the vehicle
receives a call with the radio ON.
On some vehicles, the HVAC blower speed may be reduced when the OnStar(R) system is active
to aid in reducing interior noise. When the system is no longer active, the blower speed will return
to its previous setting.
OnStar(R) Steering Wheel Controls
Some vehicles may have a button on the steering wheel, that when pushed can engage the
OnStar(R) system. The button may be a symbol of a face with sound waves, or may say MUTE, or
be a symbol of a radio speaker with a slash through it.
By engaging the OnStar(R) system with this feature, the user can interact with the system by use of
voice commands. A complete list of these commands is supplied in the information provided to the
customer. If the information is not available for reference, at any command prompt, the user can
say "HELP" and the VCIM will return an audible list of available commands.
The steering wheel controls consist of multiple momentary contact switches and a resistor network.
The switches and resistor network are arranged so that each switch has a different resistance
value. When a switch is pressed, a voltage drop occurs in the resistor network. This produces a
specific voltage value unique to the switch selected, to be interpreted by the radio or the body
control module (BCM).
OnStar(R) Power Moding (DRX or Sleep Cycle)
The OnStar(R) system uses a unique sleep cycle to allow the system to receive cellular calls while
the ignition is in the OFF position and retained accessory power (RAP) mode has ended.
A green status LED on the OnStar(R) keypad normally indicates an active OnStar(R) account. The
OnStar(R) system will stay powered up after ignition off for an extended time in order to allow for
remote services like door unlock, horn honk, light flash, etcetera to take place as requested by the
customer. Power cycle (also referred to as DRX) times vary depending on the generation of the
OnStar(R) system. Technicians may identify the OnStar(R) system generation by using a Tech 2
and following this menu path: (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by
accessing www.onstarenrollment.com
All Generation 6 digital systems are powered up continuously for 48 hours from ignition OFF. After
48 hours, the Generation 6 systems will enter a 9 minute OFF, 1 minute ON power cycle for an
additional 72 hours. At the beginning and end of the 1 minute ON stage, you may or may not
experience a short spike of current at the beginning and at the end. This allows for calls from
OnStar to be received by the system. After 120 hours from ignition OFF,

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

Condition
General Motors has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain
2002-2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL vehicles that have ever been registered
in corrosion areas. The rear side doors on these vehicles may not latch or may not unlatch properly
due to corrosion caused by road splash, such as water and road salt. Depending on the location of
the corrosion in the latch, the door may either be difficult to open from the inside or outside, or may
bounce back when the door is swung shut from the outside. The driver information center may or
may not indicate that the door is ajar. If the door is not latched properly and it goes unnoticed, it
may open while the vehicle is in motion. If the occupant is unbelted, they may fall out of the vehicle
and personal injury could occur.
Correction
Dealers are to install a seal to prevent water intrusion into the latch. The latch is also to be
inspected and replaced, if necessary.

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

P0785, P0787, P0973, P0976, P1860, P2761, P2764 and P2769 may be set depending on the
vehicle.
Cause
The most likely cause of this condition may be a loss of voltage to the transmission solenoid power
supply circuit. This condition may also be the result of an incorrect installation of an aftermarket
electronic device such as a remote starter or alarm system.
Correction
Important:
If the vehicle is equipped with an aftermarket electronic device and the DTCs are being set when
the device is being used, verify that the appropriate fuse is being supplied battery voltage during
operation. If voltage is not present at this fuse, these DTCs will be set due to lack of voltage at the
solenoids. This condition is most likely to occur with an incorrectly installed remote starting system.
If this is the case, refer the customer to the installer of the system for corrections. ANY REPAIRS
DUE TO AFTERMARKET INSTALLATION OF ACCESSORIES IS A NON-WARRANTABLE ITEM.
1. With the ignition switch in the RUN position, test for battery voltage at the circuit fuse in the
transmission solenoid power supply circuit. Refer to the appropriate SI Document for the
transmission solenoid power supply circuit information.
2. If battery voltage is present at the fuse, inspect the ignition voltage circuit between the fuse and
the transmission for possible opens.
3. If battery voltage is not present at the fuse, test for continuity between the fuse and the ignition
switch. If NO continuity is between the fuse and the ignition switch, repair the open in that circuit.
4. If you have continuity between the fuse and the ignition switch, the most likely cause is the
ignition switch. Replace the ignition switch using the appropriate Ignition Switch Replacement
procedure in SI. Refer to group number 2.188 of the parts catalog for part description and usage of
the ignition switch.

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

TECHNICAL
Bulletin No.: 08-03-10-006C
Date: April 27, 2010
Subject: Tire Slowly Goes Flat, Tire Air Loss, Low Tire Pressure Warning Light Illuminated,
Aluminum Wheel Bead Seat Corrosion (Clean and Resurface Wheel Bead Seat)
Models:
2000-2011 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2003-2009 HUMMER H2
2006-2010 HUMMER H3 2005-2009 Saab 9-7X
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

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

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

The supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system/supplemental restraint system (SRS) requires
special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific
procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system
terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.
The tool kit J 38125-C contains the following items:
- Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction Data
The sealed splices have the following 2 critical features:
- A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
- A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The J 38125-C also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items:
- A large sampling of common electrical terminals
- The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires
- The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-C. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.

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

Bulletin No.: 03-06-04-057
Date: October 01, 2003
TECHNICAL
Subject:
Intermittent Hesitation, Stumble or Idle Stall after Soak, Harsh 1-2 Shift, Slipping 1-2 Shift Followed
by a Harsh Engagement (Reprogram PCM)
Models: 2002-2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer 2002-2003 GMC Envoy 2002-2003 Oldsmobile Bravada
with 4.2L Engine (VIN S - RPO LL8)
Condition
Some customers may comment on an intermittent hesitation/stumble or idle stall within minutes of
starting after the vehicle has been sitting for several hours. Additionally, some customers with a
2003 model year vehicle may comment on a harsh 1-2 shift or 1-2 slip shift that has a bump feeling
when 2nd gear engages.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the EVAP diagnostic test as it opens the purge valve for a few
seconds and then closes it to verify proper emission sensor operation. If the purge canister is
saturated, the EVAP system on-board diagnostic test may cause the vehicle to correct for a rich
condition from the canister. The vehicle would then become lean when the purge valve closes at
the completion of the test. This condition occurs primarily with high RVP fuel and after the vehicle
sits for several hours in a warm ambient, above 21°C (70°F). A customer who takes short trips is
more likely to experience this condition, as they don't have the drive cycle that would allow the
purge canister to fully re-circulate the fuel vapor.
Correction
For Hesitation, Stumble or Idle Stall:
Follow the SI diagnostics for the stall/stumble condition. If the result is no trouble found, then
reprogram the module with the latest calibration.
For Harsh or Slipping Shifts on 2003 Model Year vehicles:
Reprogram the module with the latest calibration.
The calibrations listed are electronic calibrations and are NOT available from GMSPO. Calibrations
will be available from Techline starting September 2003, on the TIS 2003 Disc 10.0 CD ROM.

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

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

Conditions for Running the DTC
Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range of 9 - 16 volts.
DTCs B1327, B1328, U1300, U1301, U1305 are not set as current.
The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A message containing a critical operating parameter has not been received within the last 5
seconds after establishing class 2 serial data communication.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The module uses a default value for the missing parameter.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a
repeat of the malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
When a malfunction such as an open fuse to a module occurs while modules are communicating, a
DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is set current. When the modules stop
communicating the current DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is cleared but the
history DTC remains. When the modules begin to communicate again, the module with the open
fuse will not be learned by the other modules so U1000 or U1255 is set current by the other
modules. If the malfunction occurs when the modules are not communicating, only U1000 or
U1255 is set.

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.

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

TECHNICAL
Subject: Underhood Tick Noise at Idle (Reprogram PCM)
Models: 2004 Buick Rainier 2002-2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer Models 2002-2004 GMC Envoy
Models 2002-2004 Oldsmobile Bravada
Condition
Some customers may comment on an underhood tick noise heard while the vehicle is idling.
Technicians may find that the noise does not increase or decrease with changes in the engine idle
RPM. The tick noise occurs at approximately one second intervals.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the electro-viscous fan clutch control function of the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) attempting to keep the fan speed between 300-600 revolutions per minute
(RPM). At idle, the cooling fan speed will drag to approximately 500 RPM then oscillate between
300 and 600 RPM. When the fan speed drops below 500 RPM, the PCM will pulse the fan control
solenoid. The pulsing of the solenoid is the cause of the ticking noise.
Correction
Technicians are to verify that the cooling fan clutch is the source of the noise by using either one of
the following two methods:
^ Use a Tech 2(R) to command the cooling fan off. If the ticking noise goes away, the pulsing of the
cooling fan clutch is the source of the noise.
^ The cooling fan clutch electrical connector, located on the cooling fan shroud, may be
disconnected with the engine off. If the ticking noise goes away, the pulsing of the cooling fan
clutch is the source of the noise. Be sure to clear any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) that may
have set while the cooling fan clutch is disconnected.
Technicians are to reprogram the PCM with an updated software calibration. The new software
calibration is currently available in TIS for all the vehicles listed above.

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

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

Drive Belt Chirping Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids The symptom may be intermittent due to moisture on the drive belt(s) or the
pulleys. It may be necessary to spray a small amount of water on the drive belt(s) in order to
duplicate the customers concern. If spraying water on the drive belt(s) duplicates the symptom,
cleaning the belt pulleys may be the probable solution. A loose or improper installation of a body
component, a suspension component, or other items of the vehicle may cause the chirping noise.

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add the new part numbers for the Spark Plugs and Ignition Coils.
Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-06-04-048A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion
System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that, after severe weather that includes large amounts of rain in a
short period of time, the engine has a rough idle and/or flashing MIL/SES light. Upon further
investigation, there may be the following DTC(s): P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305 or
P0306.
This condition can be aggravated if the vehicle is parked nose down on an incline during this type
of weather. The customer may also comment on repeat occurrences of this condition because
water may be passing over the Air Intake Plenum (AIP).
Cause
The dripping rain water onto the engine cam cover will collect at the coil(s) and may seep past the
coil(s) into the spark plug(s) well of the cylinder head and may affect the operation of the spark
plug(s) and coil(s), causing the misfire(s).
Correction
Before replacing the AIP seal, refer to Misfire diagnostics in SI to determine if water intrusion was
the cause of the misfire.
Diagnostic Aids for Misfire
Refer to SI for Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine Noises.
If no trouble found (NTF) using SI document on Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine
Noises, then refer to SI for Misfire DTC(s).
If Misfire diagnostic leads to the removal of the coil(s) and spark plug(s), refer to the following SI
Documents:
Air Cleaner Outlet Resonator Replacement
Ignition Coil Replacement Removal Procedure
Spark Plug Replacement
Coil(s) damage from water intrusion will have a film of white chalk build-up on the outside and
inside of the spark plug boot to ignition coil(s) assembly. If present, remove the spark plug(s) and
inspect for similar build-up on the outside of the spark plug(s).
If NTF with the coil(s) and spark plug(s), continue on with the Misfire Diagnostic in SI.

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

The purpose of this bulletin is to identify the correct oil pump rotor (212) and slide (203) usage for
the two different transmission oil pump designs.
Manufacturing of the first design oil pump rotor (212) and slide (203) ended November 30, 2000.
Manufacturing of the second design oil pump rotor (212) and slide (203) began December 1, 2000.
Important:
It is critical that the first and second design oil pump rotors and slides do not become intermixed.
Do not use first design pump components with second design pump components. If the pump
components from either design are intermixed, pump efficiency will be affected resulting in less
than optimal pump performance.
The first design oil pump rotor (212) and slide (203) DO NOT have any identification markings.

Phase three will eliminate the oil pump body 0-ring seal groove and the 0-ring seal. Beginning
March 2004, a new stamped carrier molded rubber seal (2) will be used to seal the pump assembly
to the transmission case.
The pump sealing surface is now the outer diameter of the pump and the inner diameter (1) of the
transmission case bore. Unlike the current 0-ring seal, which is installed on the oil pump body, the
new seal is installed after the pump assembly is properly positioned and torqued in place. Seating
the seal is accomplished when the torque converter housing is installed, which presses the seal (3)
into position between the pump and the case bore (1).
As a result of the modified casting and the deeper pump bore machining, the area between the oil
pan mounting surface and the pump bore has decreased. Because of the reduced material in this
area (1) it is necessary to use the shorter oil pan attaching bolts (2). Early pan bolts (3), before
November 2002, should not be used with the modified case design, since they are 1.0 mm (0.39 in)
longer and could deform the chamfer surface (4).

Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a
trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot.
The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows
comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a
first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be
lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
- Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
- Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year and to add Cold Operation
information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 03-07-29-004F (Section 07 Transmission/Transaxle).
Important Even though this bulletin attempts to cover operating characteristics of manual
transmissions, it cannot be all inclusive. Be sure to compare any questionable concerns to a similar
vehicle and if possible, with similar mileage. Even though many of the conditions are described as
characteristics and may not be durability issues, GM may attempt to improve specific issues for
customer satisfaction.
The purpose of this bulletin is to assist in identifying characteristics of manual transmissions that
repair attempts will not change. The following are explanations and examples of conditions that will
generally occur in all manual transmissions. All noises will vary between transmissions due to build
variation, type of transmission (usually the more heavy duty, the more noise), type of flywheel and
clutch, level of insulation, etc.
Basic Information
Many transmission noises are created by the firing pulses of the engine. Each firing pulse creates a
sudden change in angular acceleration at the crankshaft. These changes in speed can be reduced
with clutch damper springs and dual mass flywheels. However, some speed variation will make it
through to the transmission. This can create noise as the various gears will accel and decel against
each other because of required clearances.
Cold Operation
Manual transmission operation will be affected by temperature because the transmission fluid will
be thicker when cold. The thicker fluid will increase the amount of force needed to shift the
transmission when cold. The likelihood of gear clash will also increase due to the greater time
needed for the synchronizer assembly to perform its function. Therefore when the transmission is
cold, or before it has reached operating temperature, quick, hard shifts should be avoided to
prevent damage to the transmission.
Gear Rattle
Rattling or grinding (not to be confused with a missed shift type of grinding, also described as a
combustion knock type of noise) type noises usually occur while operating the engine at low RPMs
(lugging the engine). This can occur while accelerating from a stop (for example, a Corvette) or
while operating at low RPMs while under a load (for example, Kodiak in a lower gear and at low
engine speed). Vehicles equipped with a dual-mass flywheel (for example, a 3500 HD Sierra with
the 6-speed manual and Duramax(R)) will have reduced noise levels as compared to vehicles
without (for example, a 4500 Kodiak with the 6-speed manual and Duramax(R)). However,
dual-mass flywheels do not eliminate all noise.
Neutral Rattle
There are often concerns of rattle while idling in neutral with the clutch engaged. This is related to
the changes in angular acceleration described earlier. This is a light rattle, and once again, vehicles
with dual mass flywheels will have reduced noise. If the engine is shut off while idling in neutral with
the clutch engaged, the sudden stop of the engine will create a rapid change in angular
acceleration that even dual mass flywheels cannot compensate. Because of the mass of all the
components, this will create a noise. This type of noise should not be heard if the clutch is released
(pedal pushed to the floor).
Backlash
Backlash noise is created when changing engine or driveline loading. This can occur when
accelerating from a stop, coming to a stop, or applying and releasing the throttle (loading and
unloading the driveline). This will vary based on vehicle type, build variations, driver input, vehicle
loading, etc. and is created from the necessary clearance between all of the mating gears in the
transmission, axle(s) and transfer case (if equipped).

The supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system/supplemental restraint system (SRS) requires
special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific
procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system
terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.
The tool kit J 38125-C contains the following items:
- Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction Data
The sealed splices have the following 2 critical features:
- A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
- A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The J 38125-C also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items:
- A large sampling of common electrical terminals
- The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires
- The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-C. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.

This bulletin is being revised to provide new part number for 2002-2003 vehicles. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 04-06-04-003 (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
This bulletin provides information on two different conditions.
Condition 1
Some customers may comment that their vehicle is difficult to fill with fuel or when filling, the pump
continuously shuts off before the tank is full.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the variability (fuel flow rates, type of fuel fill nozzle, fuel
properties) at the filling stations. There is a potential to develop an increase in back pressures
internal to the fuel fill neck. This back pressure trips the fuel nozzle prior to filling the tank, or results
in a hard to fill condition.
Condition 2 Some customers may comment that when filling the fuel tank, a small amount of fuel
may spit back/out.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the equalization of pressure between the fuel tank and the fuel fill
neck that does not react quickly to the variance in the pressure when the fueling station fuel nozzle
trips off.
Correction
Replace the fuel tank filler upper pipe assembly with P/N 88983256 or P/N 15131043, and lower
hose assembly with P/N 15131046. The new upper pipe has been redesigned to provide smoother
flow conditions within the section and the lower hose has been redesigned to include a checking
feature. Use the procedure listed below.
1. Remove the fuel fill cap.
2. Remove the fuel fill pipe housing.

If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-C. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure
if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
- Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
- Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
- When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
- Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
- Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
- If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a
repeat of the malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
When multiple Loss of Communication DTCs are set concurrently, the cause is likely to be 2 opens
in the ring portion of the class 2 serial data circuit. Use the Control Modules and Devices ‐
Description and Identification Number table in order to determine which modules are not
communicating. Use the class 2 serial data circuit schematic in order to determine the location of

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

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

The use of an excessively/over-oiled aftermarket, reusable air filter may result in:
Service Engine Soon (SES) light on
Transmission shift concerns, slipping and damaged clutch(es) or band(s)
Engine driveability concerns, poor acceleration from a stop, limited engine RPM range
The oil that is used on these air filter elements may be transferred onto the Mass Air Flow (MAF)
sensor causing contamination of the sensor. As a result, the Grams per Second (GPS) signal from
the MAF may be low and any or all of the concerns listed above may occur.
When servicing a vehicle with any of these concerns, be sure to check for the presence of an
aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter. The MAF, GPS reading should be compared
to a like vehicle with an OEM air box and filter under the same driving conditions to verify the
concern.
The use of an aftermarket reusable air filter DOES NOT void the vehicle's warranty.
If an aftermarket reusable air filter is used, technicians should inspect the MAF sensor element and
the air induction hose for contamination of oil prior to making warranty repairs.
Transmission or engine driveability concerns (related to the MAF sensor being contaminated with
oil) that are the result of the use of an aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter are not
considered to be warrantable repair items.
Description and Operation
Fuel Level Sensor: Description and Operation
Fuel Level Sensor
The fuel level sensor consists of a float, a wire float arm, and a ceramic resistor card. The position
of the float arm indicates the fuel level. The fuel level sensor contains a variable resistor which
changes resistance in correspondence with the position of the float arm. The control module sends
the fuel level information via the Class 2 circuit to the instrument panel cluster (IPC). This
information is used for the IPC fuel gage and the low fuel warning indicator, if applicable. The
control module also monitors the fuel level input for various diagnostics.

6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the
middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper
handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing:
- The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
- A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-C if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA
ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to
ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the
plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated
in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a
terminal for replacement.

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 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.

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

Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
- Wiring broken inside the insulation
- Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector.
- Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter, improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the
connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor
terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-C or the J 38125-4 Instruction Data for terminal identification.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2.
Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or
green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J 38125-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

1. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) device and/or the secondary lock. 2.
Disconnect the connector from the component or separate the connectors for in-line connectors. 3.
Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device. 4. Insert the proper pick or removal tool into
the front of the connector body. 5. Grasp the wire at the back of the connector body and gently
push the terminal (1) out the front of the connector body (3).
IMPORTANT: On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large
enough to remove the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large
enough service loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal.

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

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

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

Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors.
Backprobe
IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
- Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector.
- Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
- After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a
trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot.
The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows
comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a
first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be
lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
- Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
- Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information

Important:
Secure the wiring harness so that there is no risk of chafing and rattling.
9.4. Fold back the wiring harness and tape over the connectors (C). Fold back the wiring harness
once more and secure with cable ties (D).
9.5. Install the right-hand rear luggage compartment in accordance with WIS - 8. Body - Interior
equipment - Adjustment/Replacement.
10. Install the ground cable to the battery's negative terminal.
11. Clear the diagnostic trouble codes.

2003-2005 Saab 9-3 (9440) 4D/5D; 2004-2005 Saab 9-3 (9440) CV
Notice:
Handle the fiber optic cables with care or the signal may be distorted.
^ It is very important that the two leads in the connector are not confused with one another.
^ Do not splice the cables.
^ Do not bend the cable in a radius smaller than 25 mm (1 in).
^ Do not expose the cable to temperatures exceeding 185°F (85°C).
^ Keep the cable ends free from dirt and grime.
^ Do not expose the cable to impact as this may cause the transparent plastic to whiten, thereby
reducing the intensity of the light and causing possible communication interruptions.
^ The cable should not lie against any sharp edges as this may cause increased signal attenuation.
1. Remove the ECU CU with a Tech 2(R) according to the following: Fault diagnosis - Select model

Part 2
Conditions for Running the DTC
Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range of 9 - 16 volts.
DTCs B1327, B1328, U1300, U1301, U1305 are not set as current.
The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A message containing a critical operating parameter has not been received within the last 5
seconds after establishing class 2 serial data communication.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The module uses a default value for the missing parameter.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a
repeat of the malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
When a malfunction such as an open fuse to a module occurs while modules are communicating, a
DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is set current. When the modules stop
communicating the current DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is cleared but the
history DTC remains. When the modules begin to communicate again, the module with the open
fuse will not be learned by the other modules so U1000 or U1255 is set current by the other
modules. If the malfunction occurs when the modules are not communicating, only U1000 or
U1255 is set.
Page 12882
When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200
frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not
lost if the Scan Tool is powered down.
The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis.
The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected
values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and
numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful,
especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC.
Testing For a Short To Voltage
TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to
1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4.
Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Testing for Continuity
TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.

button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6.
Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no
resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other
lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6.
If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity.
Testing For Electrical Intermittents
TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS
Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at
convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment.
- Testing for Short to Ground
- Testing for Continuity
- Testing for a Short to Voltage
If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200
DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J
39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected.
IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J
39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and
maximum (MAX) values measured.
1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of
a suspected circuit to the other. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC)

Condition
Some customers may comment that the A/C system is intermittently inoperative or blows warm air.
Cause
An intermittent inoperative (open) A/C low pressure cycling switch may be the cause. This is an
intermittent condition and temperatures may play a critical role if the vehicle is in the failed mode or
operating as designed.
Correction
Follow the diagnosis and service procedure below to correct this condition.
1. Park the vehicle inside or in the shade.
2. Open the windows in order to ventilate the interior of the vehicle.
3. If the A/C system was operating, allow the A/C system to equalize.
4. Turn OFF the ignition.
5. Open the hood and install fender covers.
Caution:
^ Avoid breathing the A/C Refrigerant 134a (R-134a) and the lubricant vapor or the mist. Exposure
may irritate the eyes, nose, and throat. Work in a well ventilated area. In order to remove R-134a
from the A/C system, use service equipment that is certified to meet the requirements of SAE J
2210 (R-134a recycling equipment). If an accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate the work
area before continuing service. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from the
refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
^ For personal protection, goggles and gloves should be worn and a clean cloth wrapped around
fittings, valves, and connections when doing work that includes opening the refrigerant system. If
R-134a comes in contact with any part of the body severe frostbite and personal injury can result.
The exposed area should be flushed immediately with cold water and prompt medical help should
be obtained.
Note:
^ R-134a is the only approved refrigerant for use in this vehicle. The use of any other refrigerant
may result in poor system performance or component failure.
^ To avoid system damage use only R-134a dedicated tools when servicing the A/C system.
^ Use only Polyalkylene Glycol Synthetic Refrigerant Oil (PAG) for internal circulation through the
R-134a A/C system and only 525 viscosity mineral oil on fitting threads and 0-rings. If lubricants
other than those specified are used, compressor failure and/or fitting seizure may result.
^ R-12 refrigerant and R-134a refrigerant must never be mixed, even in the smallest of amounts, as
they are incompatible with each other. If the refrigerants are mixed, compressor failure is likely to
occur. Refer to the manufacturer instructions included with the service equipment

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
The supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system/supplemental restraint system (SRS) requires
special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific
procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system
terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.
The tool kit J 38125-C contains the following items:
- Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction Data
The sealed splices have the following 2 critical features:
- A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
- A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The J 38125-C also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items:
- A large sampling of common electrical terminals
- The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires
- The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-C. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.

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

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.

intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
- If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
- Wiring broken inside the insulation
- Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector.
- Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter, improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the
connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor
terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-C or the J 38125-4 Instruction Data for terminal identification.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2.
Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or
green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J 38125-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

This condition can be aggravated if the vehicle is parked nose down on an incline during this type
of weather. The customer may also comment on repeat occurrences of this condition because
water may be passing over the Air Intake Plenum (AIP).
Cause
The dripping rain water onto the engine cam cover will collect at the coil(s) and may seep past the
coil(s) into the spark plug(s) well of the cylinder head and may affect the operation of the spark
plug(s) and coil(s), causing the misfire(s).
Correction
Before replacing the AIP seal, refer to Misfire diagnostics in SI to determine if water intrusion was
the cause of the misfire.
Diagnostic Aids for Misfire
Refer to SI for Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine Noises.
If no trouble found (NTF) using SI document on Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine
Noises, then refer to SI for Misfire DTC(s).

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.

Spark Plug: Service and Repair
Spark Plug Replacement
Removal Procedure
1. Turn OFF the ignition switch. 2. Remove the ignition coils. Refer to Ignition Coil Replacement.
Notice: Allow the engine to cool before removing the spark plugs. Attempting to remove the spark
plugs from a hot engine may cause the plug threads to seize, causing damage to cylinder head
threads.
Notice: Clean the spark plug recess area before removing the spark plug. Failure to do so could
result in engine damage because of dirt or foreign material entering the cylinder head, or by the
contamination of the cylinder head threads. The contaminated threads may prevent the proper
seating of the new plug. Use a thread chaser to clean the threads of any contamination.
3. Remove the spark plugs from the engine.
Installation Procedure
Notice: Use only the spark plugs specified for use in the vehicle. Do not install spark plugs that are
either hotter or colder than those specified for the vehicle. Installing spark plugs of another type can
severely damage the engine.
Notice: Check the gap of all new and reconditioned spark plugs before installation. The pre-set
gaps may have changed during handling. Use a round feeler gauge to ensure an accurate check.
Installing the spark plugs with the wrong gap can cause poor engine performance and may even
damage the engine.
1. Measure the spark plug gap on the spark plugs to be installed. Compare the measurement to the
gap specifications. Refer to Ignition System
Specifications, See: Specifications Correct as necessary.
Notice: Be sure that the spark plug threads smoothly into the cylinder head and the spark plug is
fully seated. Use a thread chaser, if necessary, to clean threads in the cylinder head.
Cross-threading or failing to fully seat the spark plug can cause overheating of the plug, exhaust
blow-by, or thread damage.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct
part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of
thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints,
lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These
coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the
correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage
to parts and systems.

Please Be Sure To Read these Important Points:
^ The 1-year OnStar(R) subscription is not refundable or transferable to another person. Upgraders
can apply unused subscription months to a new or Certified Pre-Owned digital OnStar-equipped
GM vehicle purchase or lease. As noted above, the digital upgrade program requires the
subscriber to purchase a one-year prepaid OnStar(R) subscription. Assuming the subscriber
intends to keep their vehicle, but subsequently purchases or leases a 2006 model year or newer
OnStar(R)-equipped new or certified used GM vehicle, in the interest of subscriber satisfaction,
they may apply remaining unused whole months of the subscription to the new vehicle. The
subscription may not be applied to another person's vehicle.
Important:
This is a customer satisfaction measure that would usually occur several months after an upgrade.
It is not intended to be leveraged as part of a new/used vehicle purchase or lease transaction.
^ The $15 charge is not refundable.
^ Dealer ADT kit orders are VIN specific. Dealer kit orders require a VIN and must be exchanged
with the OnStar(R) unit in the vehicle with that VIN. Proper activation and enrollment depends on
this step.
^ You must put the actual miles on the Repair Order. Do not estimate.
^ Customers will receive a Hands-Free Calling number once the digital hardware is installed and
configured.
^ Any nametags that were stored in the old system will need to be re-set by the subscriber once the
new hardware is installed.
^ Customers are responsible for the charges described above regardless of whether their vehicle is
in or out of the New Vehicle Warranty period. In addition, customers should not be charged labor
costs. Dealers can charge GM the labor for the upgrade as specified at the end of this bulletin
using the listed labor operation.
^ Vehicles eligible for an OnStar(R) hardware upgrade are listed in this bulletin. Vehicle
upgradeability can also be determined by typing the VIN into the field entitled "Determine VIN
Hardware Functionality" on the OnStar(R) Online Enrollment website, located in the sales or
service workbench tab of GM GlobalConnect. Canadian Dealers can use a similar tool that is
available within InfoNET.

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

Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from
voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure.
1. Open the harness.
- If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
- To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
- If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode.
2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow
direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable
soldering tool.
IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the
connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool.
5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not
remove any more than is needed to attach the
new diode.
6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias.
Reference the appropriate Service Data wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some

IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire
and diode attachment points with tape.
Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable
SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE
Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable
of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and
other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below
in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable.
1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap
the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the
splice is made.
3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire.
Staggering the splices by 65 mm is recommended.
IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical
contact with the drain wire.
4. Re-assemble the cable.
- Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape.
- Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1).
- Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire.
- Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with mylar tape.

Condition
Some customers may comment on higher than normal engine coolant temperature gauge readings
when operating the vehicle in very high outside ambient temperatures, and in stop and go or slow
moving traffic.
Cause
Reduced air flow across the radiator and preheated air from stopped or slow moving driving
conditions from traffic congestion may result in normally higher engine coolant operating
temperatures as indicated by the temperature gauge.
Correction
Technicians are to reprogram the PCM with an updated software calibration. This new service
calibration was released with TIS satellite data update version 7.3 available July 7, 2004. As
always, make sure your TECH 2(R) is updated with the latest software version.
This new calibration will cause the PCM to command small amounts of additional fan engagement

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

intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
- If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
- Wiring broken inside the insulation
- Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector.
- Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter, improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the
connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor
terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-C or the J 38125-4 Instruction Data for terminal identification.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2.
Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or
green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J 38125-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors.
Backprobe
IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
- Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector.
- Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
- After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a
trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot.
The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows
comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a
first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be
lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
- Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
- Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information

This bulletin is being revised to correct the model year range for the Chevrolet Impala and Monte
Carlo and update the reference to GM Dealerworld. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number
06-08-46-008B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
All 2000-2003 model year vehicles equipped with OnStar® from the list above were built with
Analog/Digital-Ready OnStar(R) Hardware. Some of these vehicles may have been upgraded to
Dual-Mode (Analog/Digital).
Certain 2004-2005 model year vehicles equipped with OnStar(R) from the list above may have
been either:
^ Originally built at the factory with Dual-Mode (Analog/Digital) OnStar(R) Hardware with
Dual-Mode (Analog/Digital) OnStar(R) Hardware
OR
^ Upgraded to Dual-Mode (Analog/Digital) Hardware
All 2006 model year and newer vehicles equipped with OnStar(R) were built at the factory with
Dual-Mode (Analog/Digital) OnStar(R) Hardware.
If a vehicle has Dual-Mode (Analog/Digital) OnStar(R) Hardware, then the system is capable of
operating on both the analog and digital cellular
Page 2773
When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200
frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not
lost if the Scan Tool is powered down.
The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis.
The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected
values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and
numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful,
especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC.
Testing For a Short To Voltage
TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to
1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4.
Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Testing for Continuity
TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 2. Disconnect the power feed
(i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX
button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6.
Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no

Accessory Delay Module: Diagnostic Aids
Basic Knowledge Required
BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED
Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures. You
should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current
(amps) and resistance (ohms). You should understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a
shorted wire. You should be able to read and understand a wiring diagram.
Checking Aftermarket Accessories
CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES
Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits:
CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions.
- SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol.
NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions.
- OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol.
Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical
problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on
accessories are not the cause of the problems.
Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include:
- Power feeds connected to points other than the battery
- Antenna location
- Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring
- Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line
- Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS
In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness
if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide
variety of actions, including:
- Wiggling the harness
- Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
- Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
- Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
- Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load
the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks,
jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by
manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short
and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max
mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results.
Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide
good results as well.
There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the
fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other
conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions,
along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the
circuit to these kinds of conditions.
Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in
water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance
the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more
readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture.
Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5
percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's
own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is
completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan
tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously.
Page 14017
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to
1 point of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the
circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points.
Probing Electrical Connectors
PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS
IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal
position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals.
Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the
connector.
NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-A Connector Test Adapter Kit or the J
42675 Flat Wire Probe Adapter Kit in order to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other
substitutes as they can damage terminals and cause incorrect measurements.
Page 3132
3. Inspect the insulator (2) for cracks. All or part of the electrical charge may arc through the crack
instead of the electrodes (3, 4).
4. Inspect for evidence of improper arcing.
- Measure the gap between the center electrode (4) and the side electrode (3) terminals. An
excessively wide electrode gap can prevent correct spark plug operation.
- Inspect for the correct spark plug torque. Refer to Ignition System Specifications. Insufficient
torque can prevent correct spark plug operation. An over torqued spark plug, causes the insulator
(2) to crack.
- Inspect for signs of tracking that occurred near the insulator tip instead of the center electrode (4).
- Inspect for a broken or worn side electrode (3).
- Inspect for a broken, worn, or loose center electrode (4) by shaking the spark plug. A rattling sound indicates internal damage.
- A loose center electrode (4) reduces the spark intensity.
- Inspect for bridged electrodes (3, 4). Deposits on the electrodes (3, 4) reduce or eliminates the
gap.
- Inspect for worn or missing platinum pads on the electrodes (3, 4), if equipped.
- Inspect for excessive fouling.
5. Inspect the spark plug recess area of the cylinder head for debris. Dirty or damaged threads can
cause the spark plug not to seat correctly during
installation.
SPARK PLUG VISUAL INSPECTION
1. Normal operation-Brown to grayish-tan with small amounts of white powdery deposits are normal
combustion by-products from fuels with

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

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

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

Engine Controls - Hesitation/Stall/Harsh A/T Upshifts
Control Module: All Technical Service Bulletins Engine Controls - Hesitation/Stall/Harsh A/T
Upshifts
Bulletin No.: 03-06-04-057
Date: October 01, 2003
TECHNICAL
Subject:
Intermittent Hesitation, Stumble or Idle Stall after Soak, Harsh 1-2 Shift, Slipping 1-2 Shift Followed
by a Harsh Engagement (Reprogram PCM)
Models: 2002-2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer 2002-2003 GMC Envoy 2002-2003 Oldsmobile Bravada
with 4.2L Engine (VIN S - RPO LL8)
Condition
Some customers may comment on an intermittent hesitation/stumble or idle stall within minutes of
starting after the vehicle has been sitting for several hours. Additionally, some customers with a
2003 model year vehicle may comment on a harsh 1-2 shift or 1-2 slip shift that has a bump feeling
when 2nd gear engages.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the EVAP diagnostic test as it opens the purge valve for a few
seconds and then closes it to verify proper emission sensor operation. If the purge canister is
saturated, the EVAP system on-board diagnostic test may cause the vehicle to correct for a rich
condition from the canister. The vehicle would then become lean when the purge valve closes at
the completion of the test. This condition occurs primarily with high RVP fuel and after the vehicle
sits for several hours in a warm ambient, above 21°C (70°F). A customer who takes short trips is
more likely to experience this condition, as they don't have the drive cycle that would allow the
purge canister to fully re-circulate the fuel vapor.
Correction
For Hesitation, Stumble or Idle Stall:
Follow the SI diagnostics for the stall/stumble condition. If the result is no trouble found, then
reprogram the module with the latest calibration.
For Harsh or Slipping Shifts on 2003 Model Year vehicles:
Reprogram the module with the latest calibration.
The calibrations listed are electronic calibrations and are NOT available from GMSPO. Calibrations
will be available from Techline starting September 2003, on the TIS 2003 Disc 10.0 CD ROM.

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.

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

If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-C. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure
if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
- Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
- Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
- When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
- Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
- Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
- If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

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

IMPORTANT: 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.

been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the
value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9.
Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values.
- If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 volt or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
- If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
- Wiring broken inside the insulation
- Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector.
- Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter, improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the
connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor
terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-C or the J 38125-4 Instruction Data for terminal identification.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2.
Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or
green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J 38125-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
Page 10338
Conversion - English/Metric Part 1
Page 8353
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to
test the circuit in question.
Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6.
If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is
a short to ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2.
Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across
the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered).
- When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
- If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter
TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
The J 39200 instruction Data is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is
present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with
a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance
that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
- Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving.
- 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.

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.

3. Measure the D height by measuring the distance between the jounce bumper bracket and the
top of the rear axle tube. 4. Repeat the jouncing operation and measurement 2 more times for a
total of 3 times. 5. Use the highest and lowest measurements to calculate the average height. 6.
The true D height dimension is the average of the highest and lowest measurements.
Cross vehicle D heights should be within 12 mm (0.5 inch) for vehicles equipped with coil springs,
vehicles equipped with air suspension should be within 8 mm (0.3 inch).
7. If these measurements are out of specifications, inspect for the following conditions:
^ Sagging rear suspension.
^ Collision damage.
Page 10490
^ An OnStar(R) Call Center button press WILL NOT connect the vehicle with OnStar(R). The
vehicle must be upgraded to reactivate the account. The customer will hear a demo message
stating that there is not a current OnStar(R) subscription for the vehicle. The message will also
instruct the customer how to upgrade and reactivate services.
^ OnStar(R) personal calling (OPC) will not be available, as this feature requires the customer to
have a current OnStar(R) account. Attempts to use this feature will result in cellular connection
failure messages and the inability to connect to the number dialed.
Note
For deactivated vehicles, a no connect response should be considered normal system operation.
Further diagnosis and subsequent repair is only necessary should the customer elect to become an
active OnStar(R) subscriber and upgrade the account subscription.
OnStar(R) Cellular, GPS, and Diagnostic Limitations
The proper operation of the OnStar(R) System is dependent on several elements outside the
components integrated into the vehicle. These include the National Cellular Network Infrastructure,
the cellular telephone carriers within the network, and the GPS.
The cellular operation of the OnStar(R) system may be inhibited by factors such as the users range
from a digital cellular tower, the state of the cellular carrier's equipment, and the location where the
call is placed. Making an OnStar(R) key press in areas that lack sufficient cellular coverage or have
a temporary equipment failure will result in either the inability of a call to complete with a data
transfer or the complete inability to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center. The OnStar(R) system
may also experience connection issues if the identification numbers for the module, station
identification number (STID), electronic serial number (ESN) or manufacturers electronic ID
(MEID), are not recognized by the cellular carriers local signal receiving towers.
The satellites that orbit earth providing the OnStar system with GPS data have almost no failures
associated with them. In the event of a no GPS concern, the failure will likely lie with the inability of
the system to gain GPS signals because of its location, i.e. in a parking structure, hardware failure,
or being mistaken with an OnStar(R) call which has reached the Call Center without vehicle data.
During diagnostic testing of the OnStar(R) system, the technician should ensure the vehicle is
located in an area that has a clear unobstructed view of the open sky, and preferably, an area
where digital cellular calls have been successfully placed. These areas can be found by
successfully making an OnStar(R) keypress in a known good OnStar(R) equipped vehicle and
confirming success with the OnStar(R) Call Center advisor. Such places can be used as a
permanent reference for future OnStar(R) testing.
Mobile Identification Number and Mobile Directory Number
The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) utilizes 2 numbers for cellular device
identification, call routing and connection.
They are:
^ A mobile identification number (MIN)
^ A mobile directory number (MDN)
Note
The MIN represents the number used by the cellular carrier for call routing purposes. The MDN
represents the number dialed to reach the cellular device.

Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2.
Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across
the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered).
- When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
- If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter
TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
The J 39200 instruction Data is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is
present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with
a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance
that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
- Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving.
- 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.

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

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor
The camshaft position (CMP) sensor is triggered by a notched reluctor wheel built into the exhaust
camshaft sprocket. The CMP sensor provides six signal pulses every camshaft revolution. Each
notch, or feature of the reluctor wheel is of a different size for individual cylinder identification. This
means the CMP and CKP signals are pulse width encoded to enable the PCM to constantly
monitor their relationship. This relationship is used to determine camshaft actuator position and
control its phasing at the correct value. The PCM also uses this signal to identify the compression
stroke of each cylinder, and for sequential fuel injection. The CMP sensor is connected to the PCM
by a 12-volt, low reference, and signal circuit.

Steps 29-31
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table. 2. A partial malfunction in
the class 2 serial data circuit uses a different procedure from a total malfunction of the class 2
serial data circuit. The
following modules communicate on the class 2 serial data circuit:
3. The following DTCs may be retrieved with a history status, but are not the cause of the present
condition.
- U1300
- U1301
- U1305
6. A state of health DTC with a history status may be present along with a U1000 or U1255 code
having a current status. This indicates that the
malfunction occurred when the ignition was ON.
7. Data link connector terminals 2 and 5 provide the connection to the class 2 serial data circuit and
the signal ground circuit respectively.
10. A poor connection at DLC terminal of the splice pack SP205 would cause this condition but will
not set a DTC. 11. This step may eliminate the loop created by PCM and theft deterrent module
from failure cause. 12. An open in the class 2 serial data circuit between the DLC and splice pack
SP205 will prevent the scan tool from communicating with any module.
This condition will not set a DTC.
14. The class 2 serial data circuit is shorted to voltage or ground. The condition may be due to the
wiring or due to a malfunction in one of the
modules. When testing the wire for a short, make sure there is not a module connected to the wire
being tested. This test isolates the BCM class 2 serial data circuits.
16. This test isolates the PCM class 2 serial data circuits. 18. The BCM detects that the ignition is
ON and sends the appropriate power mode message to the other modules. Therefore, the BCM
must remain
connected to the DLC for any other module to communicate with the scan tool. This test isolates
the splice pack SP306 serial data circuits.
23. This test isolates the rest of the splice pack SP205 serial data circuits. 27. If there are no
current DTCs that begin with a "U", the communication malfunction has been repaired. 28. The
communication malfunction may have prevented diagnosis of the customer complaint.
Without Immobilizer
SCAN TOOL DOES NOT COMMUNICATE WITH CLASS 2 DEVICE (W/O IMMOBILIZER)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

Do NOT replace an EV fan unless a specific condition related to the EV fan is identified using SI
diagnostics. If the fan has a condition that warrants replacement, a DTC should set and/or SI
diagnostics should lead to the replacement of the fan clutch.
If the fan is not operating at the proper speed/function, the appropriate diagnostic trouble code
should set.
Identify the root cause of the condition. Please make sure to do a thorough review of SI for proper
diagnostics. Several Service Bulletins and Preliminary Information are available on SI regarding the
EV fan.
Refer to "Operating Characteristics" and "Diagnostic Tips" in this bulletin for additional information.
Operating Characteristics of the Electro-Viscous (EV) Fan Clutch
Changes to the EV fan clutch to improve the HVAC performance basically increase airflow in
certain conditions. It is now possible during start up for the EV fan clutch to be engaged and match
engine speed for about 1 minute depending on driving speeds (with lower speeds having a longer
disengagement time) producing some noise/flare. The noise/flare will most likely be intermittent
and can be dependent on the following conditions:
^ Fan clutch valve orientation, with check ball at 11:00 position as viewed from front of vehicle
when the engine is stopped.
^ HVAC or powertrain cooling conditions when the vehicle is shut off.
^ Parking incline - vehicles parked nose up on a 16% or higher incline (such as vehicles coming off
transport or parked on steep driveways) may have prolonged fan noise/flare until the fluid is
pumped out of the working chamber of the fan. These conditions can occur in as little as ten
minutes. Once the vehicle is not parked in these conditions, it should operate as expected.
^ Please note that if the vehicle is parked nose down with a 16% or more decline, the EV fan clutch
may have a delayed engagement response similar to what is described in Corporate Bulletin
Number 04-01-38-019A.
Important:
Do not replace EV fan clutches for these conditions listed above; they are expected vehicle
characteristics. If the fan clutch is truly operating at a speed higher than intended, a DTC P0495 or
P1484 should set. Additional codes are available for other conditions.
Diagnostic Tips
Depending on the vehicle year, the Tech 2(R) may allow some EV fan control using the special
functions application of the Tech 2 (refer to the proper SI documentation). If this function or a fused
jumper wire is being used to check EV fan response, there may be a delay in fan response (up to
2-3 minutes depending on conditions, please refer to SI diagnostics).
The desired fan speed and actual fan speed data (on the Tech 2(R)) can be misleading. The
desired fan speed is comprised of the maximum of multiple parameters (for example engine
coolant temp, A/C pressure, etc.) and may not be the ruling desired fan speed parameter. The end
result may be that the actual desired fan speed is lower than what is displayed.
Additionally, the desired fan speed may be higher than the current engine speed. The fan is limited
by the current engine RPM and will max out at about 3500 RPM under full manual fan engagement
request along with a corresponding engine RPM speed. The 4.2L 1-6 (LL8) engine's desired and
actual fan speeds will usually be closer to each other than the 5.3L V-8 (LM4 or LH6) or the 6.0L
V-8 (LS2).

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

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

Circuit Protection - 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.

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

This bulletin is being issued to provide dealer service personnel with information regarding
aftermarket devices connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC) and the impact to
OnStar(R) diagnostic probes and Vehicle Diagnostic e-mails.
Certain aftermarket devices, when connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector, such as, but not
limited to, Scan Tools, Trip Computers, Fuel Economy Analyzers and Insurance Tracking Devices,
interfere with OnStar's ability to perform a diagnostic probe when requested (via a blue button call)
by a subscriber. These devices also prohibit the ability to gather diagnostic and tire pressure data
for a subscriber's scheduled OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail.
These aftermarket devices utilize the Vehicles serial data bus to perform data requests and/or
information gathering. When these devices are requesting data, OnStar(R) is designed not to
interfere with any data request being made by these devices as required by OBD II regulations.
The OnStar(R) advisor is unable to definitively detect the presence of these devices and will only
be able to inform the caller or requester of the unsuccessful or incomplete probe and may in some
cases refer the subscriber/requester to take the vehicle to a dealer for diagnosis of the concern.
When performing a diagnostic check for an unsuccessful or incomplete OnStar(R) diagnostic
probe, or for concerns regarding completeness of the OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail,
verify that an aftermarket device was not present at the time of the requested probe. Regarding the

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
Engine Compression Test
Tools Required J 38722 Compression Tester
A compression pressure test of the engine cylinders determines the condition of the rings, the
valves, and the head gasket.
Important: The battery must be at or near full charge.
1. Remove the air duct from the throttle control module. 2. Remove the ignition control modules. 3.
Disable the fuel system.
4. Remove the spark clues. 5. Measure the engine compression, using the following procedure:
5.1. Firmly install J 38722 to the spark plug hole.
5.2. Have an assistant crank the engine through at least four compression strokes in the testing
cylinder.
5.3. Check and record the readings on J 38722 at each stroke.
5.4. Disconnect J 38722.
5.5. Repeat the compression test for each cylinder.
6. Record the compression readings from all of the cylinders. A normal reading should be
approximately 1482 kPa (215 psi). The lowest reading
should not be less than 70 percent of the highest reading.
7. The following are examples of the possible measurements:
- When the compression measurement is normal, the compression builds up quickly and evenly to
the specified compression on each cylinder.
- When the compression is low on the first stroke and tends to build up on the following strokes, but
does not reach the normal compression, or if the compression improves considerably with the
addition of three squirts of oil, the piston rings may be the cause.
- When the compression is low on the first stroke and does not build up in the following strokes, or
the addition of oil does not affect the compression, the valves may be the cause.
- When the compression is low on two adjacent cylinders, or coolant is present in the crankcase,
the head gasket may be the cause.
8. Install the air duct to the throttle body. 9. Install the spark plugs.
10. Enable the fuel system. 11. Install the ignition control modules.

Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6.
If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is

the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered).
- When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
- If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter
TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
The J 39200 instruction Data is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is
present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with
a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance
that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
- Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving.
- 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.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
The PCM verifies that the password received from the theft deterrent control module via the serial
data circuit is correct. The PCM can learn only one fuel continue password. If the fuel continue
password is correct, the PCM enables the starting and fuel delivery systems.
The PCM disables the starting and fuel delivery systems if any of the following conditions occur:
- The fuel continue password is incorrect.
- The fuel disable password is sent by the theft deterrent control module.
- No passwords are received - there is no communication with the theft deterrent control module.
The powertrain control module (PCM) contains the remainder of the logic of the theft deterrent
system. If a class 2 message containing a valid password is received from the BCM, the PCM will
continue to allow the fuel injectors to operate. The PCM will allow the fuel injectors to operate until
it decides there is no valid password coming from the BCM. If the PCM does not receive a class 2
message, or receives a class 2 message with an incorrect password, the engine will crank and will
not run or will start and stall immediately.
The PCM controls all ignition system functions, and constantly corrects the spark timing. The PCM
monitors information from various sensor inputs that include the following:
- The throttle position (TP) sensor
- The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor
- The mass air flow (MAF) sensor
- The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
- The vehicle speed sensor (VSS)
- The transmission gear position or range information sensors
- The engine knock sensors (KS)

The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 2. Disconnect the power feed
(i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX
button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6.
Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no
resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other
lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6.
If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity.
Testing For Electrical Intermittents
TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS
Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at
convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment.
- Testing for Short to Ground
- Testing for Continuity
- Testing for a Short to Voltage
If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200
DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J
39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected.
IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J
39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and
maximum (MAX) values measured.
1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of
a suspected circuit to the other. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC)
position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4.
Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 ms RECORD and emits an
audible tone (beep).

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

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.

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

Description and Operation
Oil Change Reminder Lamp: Description and Operation
GM OIL LIFE SYSTEM
Your vehicle has a computer system that lets you know when to change the engine oil and filter.
This is based on engine revolutions and engine temperature, and not on mileage. Based on driving
conditions, the mileage at which an oil change will be indicated can vary considerably. For the oil
life system to work properly, you must reset the system every time the oil is changed.
When the system has calculated that oil life has been diminished, it will indicate that an oil change
is necessary. Either a "CHANGE ENGINE OIL" message in the Driver Information Center (DIC) or
a CHANGE OIL indicator will come on. Change your oil as soon as possible within the next two
times you stop for fuel. It is possible that, if you are driving under the best conditions, the oil life
system may not indicate that an oil change is necessary for over a year. However, your engine oil
and filter must be changed at least once a year and at this time the system must be reset. It is also
important to check your oil regularly and keep it at the proper level.
If the system is ever reset accidentally, you must change your oil at 3,000 miles (5 000 km) since
your last oil change. Remember to reset the oil life system whenever the oil is changed.

Models: 2002-2004 Cars and Light Duty Trucks with 4L60-E or 4L65-E Automatic Transmissions
(RPOs M30, M32 or M33)
An improved oil pump to case seal design has been made to the 4L60-E/4L65-E transmission. The
new design affects the oil pump, the oil pump seal, the transmission pan bolts and the transmission
case. The complete design was implemented in three phases.
The first phase, beginning in September 2002, relocated the machining of the oil pump 0-ring seal
groove in the pump body. The 0-ring seal groove moved 1.6 mm (0.62 in) inward on the pump body
in order to place the sealing surface deeper into the case bore. The relocated pump body groove
can be identified by measuring the groove location. Pump bodies that measure 2.3 mm (0.09 in)
from the machined surface to the groove opening have the relocated 0-ring seal groove. Pump
bodies that measure 3.9 mm (0.15 in) are prior to September 2002 design.

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

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

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor
The camshaft position (CMP) sensor is triggered by a notched reluctor wheel built into the exhaust
camshaft sprocket. The CMP sensor provides six signal pulses every camshaft revolution. Each
notch, or feature of the reluctor wheel is of a different size for individual cylinder identification. This
means the CMP and CKP signals are pulse width encoded to enable the PCM to constantly
monitor their relationship. This relationship is used to determine camshaft actuator position and
control its phasing at the correct value. The PCM also uses this signal to identify the compression
stroke of each cylinder, and for sequential fuel injection. The CMP sensor is connected to the PCM
by a 12-volt, low reference, and signal circuit.

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

This bulletin is being revised to add the new part numbers for the Spark Plugs and Ignition Coils.
Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-06-04-048A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion
System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that, after severe weather that includes large amounts of rain in a
short period of time, the engine has a rough idle and/or flashing MIL/SES light. Upon further
investigation, there may be the following DTC(s): P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305 or
P0306.
This condition can be aggravated if the vehicle is parked nose down on an incline during this type
of weather. The customer may also comment on repeat occurrences of this condition because
water may be passing over the Air Intake Plenum (AIP).
Cause
The dripping rain water onto the engine cam cover will collect at the coil(s) and may seep past the
coil(s) into the spark plug(s) well of the cylinder head and may affect the operation of the spark
plug(s) and coil(s), causing the misfire(s).
Correction
Before replacing the AIP seal, refer to Misfire diagnostics in SI to determine if water intrusion was
the cause of the misfire.
Diagnostic Aids for Misfire
Refer to SI for Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine Noises.
If no trouble found (NTF) using SI document on Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine
Noises, then refer to SI for Misfire DTC(s).
If Misfire diagnostic leads to the removal of the coil(s) and spark plug(s), refer to the following SI
Documents:

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.

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

Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6.
If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is
a short to ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2.
Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across
the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered).
- When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
- If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter
TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
The J 39200 instruction Data is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is
present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with
a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance
that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
- Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving.
- 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.

Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation
The FTP sensor measures the difference between the pressure or vacuum in the fuel tank and
outside air pressure. The control module provides a 5-volt reference and a ground to the FTP
sensor. The FTP sensor provides a signal voltage back to the control module that can vary
between 0.1-4.9 volts. As FTP increases, FTP sensor voltage decreases, high pressure = low
voltage. As FTP decreases, FTP voltage increases, low pressure or vacuum = high voltage.

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.

Camshaft Actuator System
Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Camshaft Actuator System
CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) ACTUATOR SYSTEM
The Camshaft Position Actuator system is used for a variety of engine performance enhancements.
These enhancements include lower emission output through exhaust gas recirculation control, a
wider engine torque range, improved gas millage, and improved engine idle stability. The CMP
Actuator system accomplishes this by controlling the amount of intake and exhaust valve overlap.
CMP ACTUATOR SYSTEM OPERATION
The CMP Actuator system is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM sends
a pulse width modulated 12 volt signal to a Camshaft Position (CMP) Actuator Solenoid in order to
control the amount of engine oil flow to a cam Phaser passage. There are two different passages
for oil to flow through, a passage for cam advance and a passage for cam retard. The Cam Phaser
is attached to a camshaft and is hydraulically operated in order to change the angle of the camshaft
relative to crankshaft position. Engine oil pressure, viscosity, temperature and engine oil level can
have an adverse affect on cam phaser performance. The PCM calculates the optimum cam
position through the following inputs: Engine Speed
- Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP)
- Throttle Position (TP) Indicated Angle
- Crankshaft Position (CKP)
- Camshaft Position (CMP)
- Engine Load.
- Barometric (BARO) Pressure
The Cam Phaser default position is 0 degrees. The PCM uses the following inputs before assuming
control of the cam phaser: Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
- Closed Loop Fuel Control
- Engine Oil Temperature
- Engine Oil Pressure
- Engine Oil Level
- CMP Actuator Solenoid circuit state
- Ignition 1 signal voltage
- Barometric (BARO) Pressure
CMP ACTUATOR SOLENOID CIRCUIT DIAGNOSTICS
The PCM monitors the control circuits of the CMP Actuator Solenoid for electrical faults. The PCM
has the ability to determine if a control circuit is open, shorted high, and shorted low. If the PCM
detects a fault with a CMP Actuator Solenoid circuit a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set.
CMP ACTUATOR SYSTEM PERFORMANCE DIAGNOSTICS
The PCM monitors the performance of the CMP Actuator system by monitoring the actual and
desired positions of a cam phaser. If the difference between the actual and desired position is more
than a calibrated angle for more than a calibrated amount of time, a DTC will set.

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

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

Circuit 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.

2007 Model Year Vehicles and Newer all have Digital OnStar(R) Modules.
Part 1
OnStar(R) Description and Operation
This OnStar(R) digital system consists of the following components:
^ Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
^ OnStar(R) button assembly
^ Microphone
^ Cellular antenna
^ Navigation antenna
Note
This system also interfaces with the factory installed vehicle audio system.
Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) is a cellular device that allows the user to
communicate data and voice signals over the national cellular network. Power is provided by a
dedicated, fused B+ circuit. Ground is provided through the vehicle wiring harness attached to the
module. The ignition state is determined by the VCIM through serial data messaging.
Dedicated circuits are used to connect the VCIM to a microphone, the button assembly, and to
command the status LED. The VCIM communicates with the rest of the vehicle modules using the
serial data bus.
The module houses 2 technology systems, one to process GPS data, and another for cellular
information. The cellular system connects the OnStar(R) system to the cellular carrier's
communication system by interacting with the national cellular infrastructure. The module sends
and receives all cellular communications over the cellular antenna and cellular antenna coax. GPS
satellites orbiting earth are constantly transmitting signals of their current location. The OnStar(R)
system uses the GPS signals to provide location on demand.
The module also has the capability of activating the horn, initiating door lock/unlock, or activating
the exterior lamps using the serial data circuits. These functions can be commanded by the
OnStar(R) Call Center per: a customer request.
OnStar(R) Button Assembly
The OnStar(R) button assembly may be part of the rearview mirror, or a separate, stand alone unit.
The button assembly is comprised of 3 buttons and a status LED. The buttons are defined as
follows:
^ The answer/end call button, which is black with a white phone icon, allows the user to answer
and end calls or initiate speech recognition.
^ The blue OnStar(R) call center button, which displays the OnStar(R) logo, allows the user to
connect to the OnStar(R) call center.
^ The emergency button, which displays a white cross with a red background, sends a high priority
emergency call to the OnStar(R) call center when pressed.
The VCIM supplies 10 volts to the OnStar(R) button assembly on the keypad supply voltage circuit.
When pressed, each button completes a circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be
returned to the VCIM on the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned the
VCIM is able to identify which button has been pressed.
The OnStar(R) status LED is located with the button assembly. The LED is green when the system
is ON and operating normally. When the status LED is green and flashing, it is an indication that a
call is in progress. When the LED is red, this indicates a system malfunction is present. In the event
there is a system malfunction and the OnStar(R) system is still able to make a call, the LED will
flash red during the call.
If the LED does not illuminate, this may indicate that the customers OnStar(R) subscription is not
active or has expired. Push the blue OnStar button to connect to an advisor who can then verify the
account status.
Each LED is controlled by the VCIM over dedicated LED signal circuits. Ground for the LED is
provided by the wiring harness attached to the button assembly.

both sides of the cylinder bore sleeve, the cylinder bore sleeve is cut incorrectly and a new cylinder
bore sleeve needs to be installed.
23. Looking at the front of the straight edge, check to see if light is protruding through the bottom of
the straight edge and the top of the cylinder block deck surface. If light is present on both sides of
the cylinder block, the cylinder bore sleeve is cut correctly.
24. Proceed to the next cylinder bore sleeve to be trimmed repeating steps 10-23 if necessary.
Parts Information
Page 196
OnStar(R) Microphone
The OnStar(R), or cellular microphone, can be a part of the rearview mirror assembly, or on some
vehicle lines, a separate, stand alone unit.
In either case, the VCIM supplies approximately 10 volts to the microphone on the cellular
microphone signal circuit, and voice data from the user is sent back to the VCIM over the same
circuit. A cellular microphone low reference circuit or a drain wire provides a ground for the
microphone.
Cellular and GPS Antennas
The vehicle will be equipped with one of the following types of antennas:
^ Separate, stand-alone cellular and navigation (GPS) antennas.
^ A combination cellular and navigation (GPS) antenna, which brings the functions of both into a
single part.
^ A cellular, GPS, and digital radio receiver (DRR) antenna, which also incorporates the
functionality of the DRR satellite antenna (XM).
The cellular antenna is the component that allows the OnStar(R) system to send and receive data
using electromagnetic waves by means of cellular technology. The antenna is connected at the
base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM.
The GPS antenna is used to collect the signals of the orbiting GPS satellites. Within the antenna is
housed a low noise amplifier that allows for a more broad and precise reception of this data. The
antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The cable also
provides a path for DC current for powering the antenna.
The OnStar(R) Call Center also has the capability of communicating with the vehicle during an
OnStar(R) call to retrieve the latest GPS location and transmit it to the OnStar(R) Call Center. A
history location of the last recorded position of the vehicle is stored in the module and marked as
aged, for as long as the module power is not removed. Actual GPS location may take up to 10
minutes to register in the event of a loss of power.
Audio System Interface
When the OnStar(R) requires audio output, a serial data message is sent to the audio system to
mute all radio functions and transmit OnStar(R) originated audio. The OnStar(R) audio is
transmitted to the vehicle audio system by a dedicated signal circuit and a low reference circuit.
The audio system will mute and an audible ring will be heard though the speakers if the vehicle
receives a call with the radio ON.
On some vehicles, the HVAC blower speed may be reduced when the OnStar(R) system is active
to aid in reducing interior noise. When the system is no longer active, the blower speed will return
to its previous setting.
OnStar(R) Steering Wheel Controls
Some vehicles may have a button on the steering wheel, that when pushed can engage the
OnStar(R) system. The button may be a symbol of a face with sound waves, or may say MUTE, or
be a symbol of a radio speaker with a slash through it.
By engaging the OnStar(R) system with this feature, the user can interact with the system by use of
voice commands. A complete list of these commands is supplied in the information provided to the
customer. If the information is not available for reference, at any command prompt, the user can
say "HELP" and the VCIM will return an audible list of available commands.
The steering wheel controls consist of multiple momentary contact switches and a resistor network.
The switches and resistor network are arranged so that each switch has a different resistance
value. When a switch is pressed, a voltage drop occurs in the resistor network. This produces a
specific voltage value unique to the switch selected, to be interpreted by the radio or the body
control module (BCM).
OnStar(R) Power Moding (DRX or Sleep Cycle)
The OnStar(R) system uses a unique sleep cycle to allow the system to receive cellular calls while
the ignition is in the OFF position and retained accessory power (RAP) mode has ended.
A green status LED on the OnStar(R) keypad normally indicates an active OnStar(R) account. The
OnStar(R) system will stay powered up after ignition off for an extended time in order to allow for
remote services like door unlock, horn honk, light flash, etcetera to take place as requested by the
customer. Power cycle (also referred to as DRX) times vary depending on the generation of the
OnStar(R) system. Technicians may identify the OnStar(R) system generation by using a Tech 2
and following this menu path: (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by
accessing www.onstarenrollment.com
All Generation 6 digital systems are powered up continuously for 48 hours from ignition OFF. After
48 hours, the Generation 6 systems will enter a 9 minute OFF, 1 minute ON power cycle for an
additional 72 hours. At the beginning and end of the 1 minute ON stage, you may or may not
experience a short spike of current at the beginning and at the end. This allows for calls from
OnStar to be received by the system. After 120 hours from ignition OFF,

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

The control module ID number list above provides a method for determining which module is not
communicating. A module with a class 2 serial data circuit malfunction or which loses power during
the current ignition cycle will have a Loss of Communication DTC set by other modules that depend
on information from that failed module. The modules that can communicate will set a DTC
indicating the module that cannot communicate.
Diagnostic Order
When more than one Loss of Communication DTC is set in either one module or in several
modules, diagnose the DTCs in the following order:
1. Current DTCs before history DTCs unless told otherwise in the diagnostic table.
2. The DTC which is reported the most times.
3. From the lowest number DTC to the highest number DTC.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The following DTCs do not have a current status:
^ B1327
^ B1328
^ U1300
^ U1301
^ U1305
AND
^ The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A node alive message has not been received from a module with a learned identification number
within the last 5 seconds.

Camshaft Actuator System
Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Camshaft Actuator System
CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) ACTUATOR SYSTEM
The Camshaft Position Actuator system is used for a variety of engine performance enhancements.
These enhancements include lower emission output through exhaust gas recirculation control, a
wider engine torque range, improved gas millage, and improved engine idle stability. The CMP
Actuator system accomplishes this by controlling the amount of intake and exhaust valve overlap.
CMP ACTUATOR SYSTEM OPERATION
The CMP Actuator system is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM sends
a pulse width modulated 12 volt signal to a Camshaft Position (CMP) Actuator Solenoid in order to
control the amount of engine oil flow to a cam Phaser passage. There are two different passages
for oil to flow through, a passage for cam advance and a passage for cam retard. The Cam Phaser
is attached to a camshaft and is hydraulically operated in order to change the angle of the camshaft
relative to crankshaft position. Engine oil pressure, viscosity, temperature and engine oil level can
have an adverse affect on cam phaser performance. The PCM calculates the optimum cam
position through the following inputs: Engine Speed
- Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP)
- Throttle Position (TP) Indicated Angle
- Crankshaft Position (CKP)
- Camshaft Position (CMP)
- Engine Load.
- Barometric (BARO) Pressure
The Cam Phaser default position is 0 degrees. The PCM uses the following inputs before assuming
control of the cam phaser: Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
- Closed Loop Fuel Control
- Engine Oil Temperature
- Engine Oil Pressure
- Engine Oil Level
- CMP Actuator Solenoid circuit state
- Ignition 1 signal voltage

The PCM monitors the control circuits of the CMP Actuator Solenoid for electrical faults. The PCM
has the ability to determine if a control circuit is open, shorted high, and shorted low. If the PCM
detects a fault with a CMP Actuator Solenoid circuit a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set.
CMP ACTUATOR SYSTEM PERFORMANCE DIAGNOSTICS
The PCM monitors the performance of the CMP Actuator system by monitoring the actual and
desired positions of a cam phaser. If the difference between the actual and desired position is more
than a calibrated angle for more than a calibrated amount of time, a DTC will set.

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

Air Baffles and Seals The cooling system uses deflectors, air baffles and air seals to increase
cooling system capability. Deflectors are installed under the vehicle to redirect airflow beneath the
vehicle and through the radiator to increase engine cooling.
Air baffles are also used to direct airflow through the radiator and increase cooling capability. Air
seals prevent air from bypassing the radiator and A/C condenser, and prevent recirculation of hot
air for better hot weather cooling and A/C condenser performance.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor is a permanent magnet generator, known as a variable
reluctance sensor. The magnetic field of the sensor is altered by a crankshaft mounted reluctor
wheel that has seven machined slots, six of which are equally spaced 60 degrees apart. The
seventh slot is spaced 10 degrees after one of the 60 degree slots. The CKP sensor produces
seven pulses for each revolution of the crankshaft. The pulse from the 10 degree slot is known as
the sync pulse. The sync pulse is used to synchronize the coil firing sequence with the crankshaft
position. The CKP sensor is connected to the PCM by a signal circuit and a low reference circuit.

Water Pump: Description and Operation
Water Pump The water pump is a centrifugal vane impeller type pump. The pump consists of a
housing with coolant inlet and outlet passages and an impeller. The impeller is mounted on the
pump shaft and consists of a series of flat or curved blades or vanes on a flat plate. When the
impeller rotates, the coolant between the vanes is thrown outward by centrifugal force.
The impeller shaft is supported by one or more sealed bearings. The sealed bearings never need
to be lubricated. Grease cannot leak out, dirt and water cannot get in as long as the seal is not
damaged or worn.
The purpose of the water pump is to circulate coolant throughout the cooling system. The water
pump is driven by the crankshaft via the drive belt.

Navigation and OnStar(R) systems require a GPS antenna in order to function properly. This
antenna may be located inside the vehicle. If the GPS antenna is located inside the vehicle,
performance of the system may be compromised by window tinting film.
If the GPS system performance is in question and the vehicle has window tinting, a quick
diagnostic check can be made by temporarily moving the GPS antenna to an external vehicle
surface, such as the decklid or roof. If the GPS function of the navigation or On Star(R) system
operates normally with the antenna relocated the repair would not be considered a warranty repair.
The subsequent repair procedure or GPS placement would be up to the customer.
Some vehicles have the GPS antenna located on the rear window shelf Objects placed on the rear
window shelf such as tissue boxes, books, dolls, etc,, also have the potential to interfere with GPS
performance.

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

The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis.
The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected
values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and
numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful,
especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Models: 2002-2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer 2002-2003 GMC Envoy 2002-2003 Oldsmobile Bravada
with 4.2L Engine (VIN S - RPO LL8)
Condition
Some customers may comment on an intermittent hesitation/stumble or idle stall within minutes of
starting after the vehicle has been sitting for several hours. Additionally, some customers with a
2003 model year vehicle may comment on a harsh 1-2 shift or 1-2 slip shift that has a bump feeling
when 2nd gear engages.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the EVAP diagnostic test as it opens the purge valve for a few
seconds and then closes it to verify proper emission sensor operation. If the purge canister is
saturated, the EVAP system on-board diagnostic test may cause the vehicle to correct for a rich
condition from the canister. The vehicle would then become lean when the purge valve closes at
the completion of the test. This condition occurs primarily with high RVP fuel and after the vehicle
sits for several hours in a warm ambient, above 21°C (70°F). A customer who takes short trips is
more likely to experience this condition, as they don't have the drive cycle that would allow the
purge canister to fully re-circulate the fuel vapor.
Correction
For Hesitation, Stumble or Idle Stall:
Follow the SI diagnostics for the stall/stumble condition. If the result is no trouble found, then
reprogram the module with the latest calibration.
For Harsh or Slipping Shifts on 2003 Model Year vehicles:
Reprogram the module with the latest calibration.
The calibrations listed are electronic calibrations and are NOT available from GMSPO. Calibrations
will be available from Techline starting September 2003, on the TIS 2003 Disc 10.0 CD ROM.

Do NOT replace an EV fan unless a specific condition related to the EV fan is identified using SI
diagnostics. If the fan has a condition that warrants replacement, a DTC should set and/or SI
diagnostics should lead to the replacement of the fan clutch.
If the fan is not operating at the proper speed/function, the appropriate diagnostic trouble code
should set.
Identify the root cause of the condition. Please make sure to do a thorough review of SI for proper
diagnostics. Several Service Bulletins and Preliminary Information are available on SI regarding the
EV fan.
Refer to "Operating Characteristics" and "Diagnostic Tips" in this bulletin for additional information.
Operating Characteristics of the Electro-Viscous (EV) Fan Clutch
Changes to the EV fan clutch to improve the HVAC performance basically increase airflow in
certain conditions. It is now possible during start up for the EV fan clutch to be engaged and match
engine speed for about 1 minute depending on driving speeds (with lower speeds having a longer
disengagement time) producing some noise/flare. The noise/flare will most likely be intermittent
and can be dependent on the following conditions:
^ Fan clutch valve orientation, with check ball at 11:00 position as viewed from front of vehicle
when the engine is stopped.
^ HVAC or powertrain cooling conditions when the vehicle is shut off.
^ Parking incline - vehicles parked nose up on a 16% or higher incline (such as vehicles coming off
transport or parked on steep driveways) may have prolonged fan noise/flare until the fluid is
pumped out of the working chamber of the fan. These conditions can occur in as little as ten
minutes. Once the vehicle is not parked in these conditions, it should operate as expected.
^ Please note that if the vehicle is parked nose down with a 16% or more decline, the EV fan clutch
may have a delayed engagement response similar to what is described in Corporate Bulletin
Number 04-01-38-019A.
Important:
Do not replace EV fan clutches for these conditions listed above; they are expected vehicle
characteristics. If the fan clutch is truly operating at a speed higher than intended, a DTC P0495 or
P1484 should set. Additional codes are available for other conditions.
Diagnostic Tips
Depending on the vehicle year, the Tech 2(R) may allow some EV fan control using the special
functions application of the Tech 2 (refer to the proper SI documentation). If this function or a fused
jumper wire is being used to check EV fan response, there may be a delay in fan response (up to
2-3 minutes depending on conditions, please refer to SI diagnostics).
The desired fan speed and actual fan speed data (on the Tech 2(R)) can be misleading. The
desired fan speed is comprised of the maximum of multiple parameters (for example engine
coolant temp, A/C pressure, etc.) and may not be the ruling desired fan speed parameter. The end
result may be that the actual desired fan speed is lower than what is displayed.
Additionally, the desired fan speed may be higher than the current engine speed. The fan is limited
by the current engine RPM and will max out at about 3500 RPM under full manual fan engagement
request along with a corresponding engine RPM speed. The 4.2L 1-6 (LL8) engine's desired and
actual fan speeds will usually be closer to each other than the 5.3L V-8 (LM4 or LH6) or the 6.0L
V-8 (LS2).

Impact Sensor: Description and Operation
INFLATABLE RESTRAINT SIDE IMPACT SENSOR (SIS)
The Side Impact Sensor (SIS) contains a sensing device (accelerometer) which monitors vehicle
acceleration and velocity changes to detect side collisions that are severe enough to warrant air
bag deployment. The SIS is not part of the deployment loop, but instead provides an input to the
SDM. The SDM contains a microprocessor that performs calculations using the measured
accelerations and compares these calculations to a value stored in memory. When the generated
calculations exceed the stored value, the SDM will cause current to flow through the deployment
loops deploying the side air bags.

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
The supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system/supplemental restraint system (SRS) requires
special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific
procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system
terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.
The tool kit J 38125-C contains the following items:
- Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction Data
The sealed splices have the following 2 critical features:
- A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
- A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The J 38125-C also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items:
- A large sampling of common electrical terminals
- The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires
- The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-C. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.

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

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

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

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

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.

Test Description
DTC U1001 and U1254
Circuit/System Description
Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during
normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the
modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module
records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health
monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the
module use a default value for that parameter. Once an identification number is learned by a
module, it will monitor for that module's Node Alive message. Each module on the class 2 serial
data circuit which is powered and performing functions that require detection of a communications
malfunction is required to send a Node Alive message every 2 seconds. When no message is
detected from a learned identification number for 5 seconds, a DTC U1XXX where XXX is equal to
the 3-digit identification number is set.

Fuel: Testing and Inspection Without Special Tools
TEST DESCRIPTION
Water contamination in the fuel system may cause driveability conditions such as hesitation,
stalling, no start, or misfires in one or more cylinders. Water may collect near a single fuel injector
at the lowest point in the fuel injection system and cause a misfire in that cylinder. If the fuel system
is contaminated with water, inspect the fuel system components for rust or deterioration.
Alcohol concentrations of 10 percent or more in the 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
The fuel sample should be drawn from the bottom of the tank so that any water present in the tank
will be detected. The sample should be bright and clear. If alcohol contamination is suspected then
use the following procedure to test the fuel quality. 1. Using a 100 ml (3.38 oz) specified cylinder
with 1 ml (0.034 oz) graduation marks, fill the cylinder with fuel to the 90 ml (3.04 oz) mark. 2. Add
10 ml (0.34 oz) of water in order to bring the total fluid volume to 100 ml (3.38 oz) and install a
stopper. 3. Shake the cylinder vigorously for 10-15 seconds. 4. Carefully loosen the stopper in
order to release the pressure. 5. Re-install the stopper and shake the cylinder vigorously again for
10-15 seconds. 6. Put the cylinder on a level surface for approximately 5 minutes in order to allow
adequate liquid separation.
If alcohol is present in the fuel, the volume of the lower layer, which would now contain both alcohol
and water, will be more than 10 ml (0.34 oz). For example, if the volume of the lower layer is
increased to 15 ml (0.51 oz), this indicates at least 5 percent alcohol in the fuel. The actual amount
of alcohol may be somewhat more because this procedure does not extract all of the alcohol from
the fuel.
PARTICULATE CONTAMINANTS IN FUEL TESTING PROCEDURE
The fuel sample should be drawn from the bottom of the tank so that any water present in the tank
will be detected. The sample should be bright and clear. If the sample appears cloudy, or
contaminated with water, as indicated by a water layer at the bottom of the sample, use the
following procedure to diagnose the fuel. 1. Using an approved fuel container, draw approximately
0.5 liter (0.53 qt) of fuel. 2. Place the container on a level surface for approximately 5 minutes in
order to allow settling of the particulate contamination. Particulate
contamination will show up in various shapes and colors. Sand will typically be identified by a white
or light brown crystals. Rubber will appear as black and irregular particles.
3. Observe the fuel sample. If any physical contaminants or water are present, clean the fuel
system. Refer to Fuel System Cleaning.

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.

Drive Belt Falls Off Diagnosis
Test Description The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.
2. This inspection is to verify the condition of the drive belt. Damage may have occurred to the
drive belt when the drive belt fell off. The drive belt
may have been damaged, which caused the drive belt to fall off. Inspect the belt for cuts, tears,
sections of ribs missing, or damaged belt plys.
4. Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from improper mounting of the accessory drive
component, incorrect installation of the accessory drive
component pulley, or the pulley bent inward or outward from a previous repair. Test for a misalign
pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across two or three pulleys. If a misalign pulley is
found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation procedure of that pulley.
5. Inspecting the pulleys for being bent should include inspecting for a dent or other damage to the
pulleys that would prevent the drive belt from not
seating properly in all of the pulley grooves or on the smooth surface of a pulley when the back
side of the belt is used to drive the pulley.
6. Accessory drive component brackets that are bent or cracked will let the drive belt fall off. 7.
Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that a wrong bolt, nut, spacer, or washer
was installed. Missing. loose, or the wrong
fasteners may cause pulley misalignment from the bracket moving under load. Over tightening of
the fasteners may cause misalignment of the accessory component bracket.
Drive Belt Rumbling
Drive Belt Rumbling Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids Vibration from the engine operating may cause a body component or another part
of the vehicle to make rumbling noise.
The drive belt(s) may have a condition that can not be seen or felt. Sometimes replacing the drive
belt may be the only repair for the symptom.
If replacing the drive belt(s), completing the diagnostic table, and the noise is only heard when the
drive belt(s) is installed, there might be an accessory drive component with a failure. Varying the
load on the different accessory drive components may aid in identifying which component is
causing the rumbling noise.

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

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

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.

Chips or debris plugging the bleed orifice of the 2-3 shift solenoid (367). This will cause the
transmission to stay in 2nd gear when 3rd gear is commanded and return to 1st gear when 4th
gear is commanded.
A 2-3 shift valve (368) or 2-3 shuttle valve (369) that is stuck, restricted and/or hung-up in its bore.
This condition may also be an indication of a damaged 2-4 band or 3-4 clutches. This clutch
damage may generate debris causing the 2-3 shift valve line-up to stick in the valve body bore and
set DTC P0757.
Correction
Inspect the condition of the transmission fluid for signs of overheat or a burnt odor. If either is
noted, the transmission should be disassembled for further investigation and repaired as needed.
Inspect the inside of the oil pan for signs of clutch friction material. A small amount of friction
material in the bottom of the pan is normal. If a large amount of clutch material is noted in the fluid
or bottom pan, the transmission should be disassembled for further investigation and repaired as
needed.
Inspect and clean the 2-3 shift valve (368), the 2-3 shuttle valve (369) and the valve bore of
debris/metal chips.
Inspect and clean the 2-3 shift solenoid (367B) opening of debris/metal chips. While inspecting the
2-3 shift solenoid (367B), look for a screen over the solenoid opening. If the solenoid DOES NOT
have a screen, replace the solenoid. All current GMSPO stock shift solenoids have a screen over
the solenoid opening.
If clutch debris is found, it is also very important to inspect the pressure control (PC) solenoid valve
fluid screens. Clean or replace the PC solenoid as necessary. It is also important to flush and flow
check the transmission oil cooler using J 45096. Refer to SI "Automatic Transmission Oil Cooler
Flushing and Flow Test" for the procedure.
Refer to the appropriate Service Manual for additional diagnostic information and service
procedures.

Impact Sensor: Description and Operation
INFLATABLE RESTRAINT SIDE IMPACT SENSOR (SIS)
The Side Impact Sensor (SIS) contains a sensing device (accelerometer) which monitors vehicle
acceleration and velocity changes to detect side collisions that are severe enough to warrant air
bag deployment. The SIS is not part of the deployment loop, but instead provides an input to the
SDM. The SDM contains a microprocessor that performs calculations using the measured
accelerations and compares these calculations to a value stored in memory. When the generated
calculations exceed the stored value, the SDM will cause current to flow through the deployment
loops deploying the side air bags.

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:

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
The supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system/supplemental restraint system (SRS) requires
special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific
procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system
terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.
The tool kit J 38125-C contains the following items:
- Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction Data
The sealed splices have the following 2 critical features:
- A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
- A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The J 38125-C also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items:
- A large sampling of common electrical terminals
- The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires
- The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-C. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:

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.

repair.
1. Select a location adjacent the damaged or missing M6 ground stud having 20 mm (0.79 in)
clearance behind the panel surface and 20 mm (0.79 in)
clearance surrounding the M6 conductive rivet stud flange.
2. Using GM approved residue-free solvent or equivalent, remove any grease from the repair site
and allow to dry.
Note Ensure 20 mm (0.79 in) clearance is maintained behind the panel to be drilled.
3. Drill a 10 mm (0.40 in) diameter hole through the panel.
4. Remove paint and primer from the area surrounding the 10 mm (0.40 in) hole until bare metal is

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

Page 3453
Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors.
Backprobe
IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
- Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector.
- Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
- After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a
trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot.
The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows
comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a
first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be
lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
- Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
- Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information

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

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

Attention:
Complete wheel changing instructions for each vehicle line can be found under Tire and Wheel
Removal and Installation in Service Information (SI). This bulletin is intended to quickly review and
reinforce simple but vital procedures to reduce the possibility of achieving low torque during wheel
installation. Always refer to SI for wheel lug nut torque specifications and complete jacking
instructions for safe wheel changing.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to include the 2011 model year and update the available
special tool list. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-03-10-010 (Section 03 Suspension).
Frequency of Wheel Changes - Marketplace Driven
Just a few years ago, the increasing longevity of tires along with greater resistance to punctures
had greatly reduced the number of times wheels were removed to basically required tire rotation
intervals. Today with the booming business in accessory wheels/special application tires (such as
winter tires), consumers are having tire/wheel assemblies removed - replaced - or installed more
than ever. With this increased activity, it opens up more of a chance for error on the part of the
technician. This bulletin will review a few of the common concerns and mistakes to make yourself
aware of.
Proper Servicing Starts With the Right Tools
The following tools have been made available to assist in proper wheel and tire removal and
installation.
- J 41013 Rotor Resurfacing Kit (or equivalent)
- J 42450-A Wheel Hub Resurfacing Kit (or equivalent)
Corroded Surfaces
One area of concern is corrosion on the mating surfaces of the wheel to the hub on the vehicle.
Excessive corrosion, dirt, rust or debris built up on these surfaces can mimic a properly tightened
wheel in the service stall. Once the vehicle is driven, the debris may loosen, grind up or be washed
away from water splash. This action may result in clearance at the mating surface of the wheel and
an under-torqued condition.
Caution
Before installing a wheel, remove any buildup on the wheel mounting surface and brake drum or
brake disc mounting surface. Installing wheels with poor metal-to-metal contact at the mounting
surfaces can cause wheel nuts to loosen. This may cause a wheel to come off when the vehicle is
moving, possibly resulting in a loss of control or personal injury.
Whenever you remove the tire/wheel assemblies, you must inspect the mating surfaces. If
corrosion is found, you should remove the debris with a die grinder equipped with a fine sanding
pad, wire brush or cleaning disc. Just remove enough material to assure a clean, smooth mating
surface.
The J 41013 (or equivalent) can be used to clean the following surfaces:
- The hub mounting surface
- The brake rotor mounting surface
- The wheel mounting surface
Use the J 42450-A (or equivalent) to clean around the base of the studs and the hub.

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

Subject:
Intermittent Hesitation, Stumble or Idle Stall after Soak, Harsh 1-2 Shift, Slipping 1-2 Shift Followed
by a Harsh Engagement (Reprogram PCM)
Models: 2002-2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer 2002-2003 GMC Envoy 2002-2003 Oldsmobile Bravada
with 4.2L Engine (VIN S - RPO LL8)
Condition
Some customers may comment on an intermittent hesitation/stumble or idle stall within minutes of
starting after the vehicle has been sitting for several hours. Additionally, some customers with a
2003 model year vehicle may comment on a harsh 1-2 shift or 1-2 slip shift that has a bump feeling
when 2nd gear engages.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the EVAP diagnostic test as it opens the purge valve for a few
seconds and then closes it to verify proper emission sensor operation. If the purge canister is
saturated, the EVAP system on-board diagnostic test may cause the vehicle to correct for a rich
condition from the canister. The vehicle would then become lean when the purge valve closes at
the completion of the test. This condition occurs primarily with high RVP fuel and after the vehicle
sits for several hours in a warm ambient, above 21°C (70°F). A customer who takes short trips is
more likely to experience this condition, as they don't have the drive cycle that would allow the
purge canister to fully re-circulate the fuel vapor.
Correction
For Hesitation, Stumble or Idle Stall:
Follow the SI diagnostics for the stall/stumble condition. If the result is no trouble found, then
reprogram the module with the latest calibration.
For Harsh or Slipping Shifts on 2003 Model Year vehicles:
Reprogram the module with the latest calibration.
The calibrations listed are electronic calibrations and are NOT available from GMSPO. Calibrations
will be available from Techline starting September 2003, on the TIS 2003 Disc 10.0 CD ROM.

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

This bulletin is being revised to add the new part numbers for the Spark Plugs and Ignition Coils.
Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-06-04-048A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion
System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that, after severe weather that includes large amounts of rain in a
short period of time, the engine has a rough idle and/or flashing MIL/SES light. Upon further
investigation, there may be the following DTC(s): P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305 or
P0306.
This condition can be aggravated if the vehicle is parked nose down on an incline during this type
of weather. The customer may also comment on repeat occurrences of this condition because
water may be passing over the Air Intake Plenum (AIP).
Cause
The dripping rain water onto the engine cam cover will collect at the coil(s) and may seep past the
coil(s) into the spark plug(s) well of the cylinder head and may affect the operation of the spark
plug(s) and coil(s), causing the misfire(s).
Correction
Before replacing the AIP seal, refer to Misfire diagnostics in SI to determine if water intrusion was
the cause of the misfire.
Diagnostic Aids for Misfire
Refer to SI for Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine Noises.
If no trouble found (NTF) using SI document on Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine
Noises, then refer to SI for Misfire DTC(s).
If Misfire diagnostic leads to the removal of the coil(s) and spark plug(s), refer to the following SI
Documents:
Air Cleaner Outlet Resonator Replacement
Ignition Coil Replacement Removal Procedure
Spark Plug Replacement
Coil(s) damage from water intrusion will have a film of white chalk build-up on the outside and
inside of the spark plug boot to ignition coil(s) assembly. If present, remove the spark plug(s) and
inspect for similar build-up on the outside of the spark plug(s).
If NTF with the coil(s) and spark plug(s), continue on with the Misfire Diagnostic in SI.

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

Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection Drive Belt Excessive Wear
Drive Belt Excessive Wear Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids Excessive wear on a drive belt(s) is usually caused by an incorrect installation or
the wrong drive belt for the application.
Minor misalignment of the drive belt pulleys will not cause excessive wear, but will probably cause
the drive belt(s) to make a noise or to fall off.
Excessive misalignment of the drive belt pulleys will cause excessive wear but may also make the
drive belt(s) fall off.
Drive Belt Excessive Wear Diagnosis
Test Description The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.
2. The inspection is to verify the drive belt(s) is correctly installed on all of the drive belt pulleys.
Wear on the drive belt(s) may be caused by
mix-positioning the drive belt(s) by one groove on a pulley.
3. The installation of a drive belt that is two wide or two narrow will cause wear on the drive belt.
The drive belt ribs should match all of the grooves
on all of the pulleys.
4. This inspection is to verify the drive belt(s) is not contacting any parts of the engine or body while
the engine is operating. There should be
sufficient clearance when the drive belt accessory drive components load varies. The drive belt(s)
should not come in contact with an engine or a body component when snapping the throttle.
Page 6869
11. Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions for the solder equipment.
12. Tape the splice. Roll on enough tape in order to duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the
existing wires.
13. Additional tape can be applied to the wire if the wire does not belong in a conduit or another
harness covering. Use a winding motion in order to
cover the first piece of tape.

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

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

With Special Tools
Fuel: Testing and Inspection With Special Tools
TEST DESCRIPTION
Water contamination in the fuel system may cause driveability conditions such as hesitation,
stalling, no start, or misfires in one or more cylinders. Water may collect near a single fuel injector
at the lowest point in the fuel injection system and cause a misfire in that cylinder. If the fuel system
is contaminated with water, inspect the fuel system components for rust or deterioration.
Alcohol concentrations of 10 percent or more in the 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.
TEST PROCEDURE
1. Turn ON the J 44175 Fuel Composition Tester. 2. Verify the fuel composition tester is
operational by measuring the AC frequency output with a DMM. Refer to Measuring Frequency in
Diagnostic
Aids. A frequency without a fuel sample in the test cell indicates that the tester is working correctly.
3. Install the fuel pressure gage.
4. Close the bleed valve on the fuel pressure gage.
IMPORTANT: Bleed the fuel pressure gage a few times in order to obtain an accurate fuel sample
from the vehicle being tested.
5. Place the bleed hose (1) of the fuel pressure gage into the 100 ml beaker (2). 6. Command the
fuel pump relay ON with a scan tool. 7. Slowly open the bleed valve on the fuel pressure gage, until
an adequate fuel sample is obtained. 8. If water appears in the fuel sample, clean the fuel system
and replace the fuel in the vehicle.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor is a permanent magnet generator, known as a variable
reluctance sensor. The magnetic field of the sensor is altered by a crankshaft mounted reluctor
wheel that has seven machined slots, six of which are equally spaced 60 degrees apart. The
seventh slot is spaced 10 degrees after one of the 60 degree slots. The CKP sensor produces
seven pulses for each revolution of the crankshaft. The pulse from the 10 degree slot is known as
the sync pulse. The sync pulse is used to synchronize the coil firing sequence with the crankshaft
position. The CKP sensor is connected to the PCM by a signal circuit and a low reference circuit.

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

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.

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

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.

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

6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the
middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper
handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing:
- The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
- A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-C if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA
ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to
ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the
plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated
in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a
terminal for replacement.
Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips
SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS
IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and
seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves.
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
1. Open the harness.
- If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
- To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
- If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire.
2. Cut the wire.
- Cut as little wire off the harness as possible.
- Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and
connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage.
3. Select the proper size and type of wire.
- The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link).
- The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating.

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

Condition
Some customers may comment on higher than normal engine coolant temperature gauge readings
when operating the vehicle in very high outside ambient temperatures, and in stop and go or slow
moving traffic.
Cause
Reduced air flow across the radiator and preheated air from stopped or slow moving driving
conditions from traffic congestion may result in normally higher engine coolant operating
temperatures as indicated by the temperature gauge.
Correction
Technicians are to reprogram the PCM with an updated software calibration. This new service
calibration was released with TIS satellite data update version 7.3 available July 7, 2004. As
always, make sure your TECH 2(R) is updated with the latest software version.
This new calibration will cause the PCM to command small amounts of additional fan engagement
to control engine coolant temperatures and gauge readings closer to a customer perception of
normal.

9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing:
- The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
- A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-C if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA
ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to
ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the
plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated
in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a
terminal for replacement.
Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips
SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS
IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and
seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves.
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
1. Open the harness.
- If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
- To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
- If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire.
2. Cut the wire.
- Cut as little wire off the harness as possible.
- Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and
connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage.
3. Select the proper size and type of wire.
- The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link).
- The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating.

Completely wrap the threads of the rivet stud with painters tape or equivalent.
Note The rivet stud and surrounding panel area MUST BE properly refinished PRIOR to the
installation of the ground wire terminal and conductive nut to maintain a secure, stable and
corrosion-free electrical ground.
10. Refinish the repair area using an anti-corrosion primer. Refer to Anti-Corrosion Treatment and
Repair in SI. 11. Allow the refinished repair area to cure sufficiently before removing the protective
material applied to the rivet stud threads. 12. Remove the painters tape or equivalent from the rivet
stud threads. 13. Using GM approved residue-free solvent or equivalent, thoroughly clean the rivet
stud threads to remove any adhesive and allow to dry. 14. Using a small brush, apply Dielectric
Lubricant GM P/N 12377900 (Canadian P/N 10953529) to the threads of the M6 conductive rivet
stud.
Note Fretting corrosion is a build-up of insulating, oxidized wear debris that can form when there is
a small motion between electrical contacts. The oxidized wear debris can accumulate at the
electrical contact points causing the electrical resistance across the connection to increase.

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

Description and Operation
Fuel Level Sensor: Description and Operation
Fuel Level Sensor
The fuel level sensor consists of a float, a wire float arm, and a ceramic resistor card. The position
of the float arm indicates the fuel level. The fuel level sensor contains a variable resistor which
changes resistance in correspondence with the position of the float arm. The control module sends
the fuel level information via the Class 2 circuit to the instrument panel cluster (IPC). This
information is used for the IPC fuel gage and the low fuel warning indicator, if applicable. The
control module also monitors the fuel level input for various diagnostics.

Accessory Delay Module: Description and Operation
RETAINED ACCESSORY POWER (RAP) DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
RETAINED ACCESSORY POWER (RAP) POWER MODE
RAP is a power mode that permits the operation of selected customer convenience items for 10
minutes after the ignition switch is turned OFF. RAP power mode is enabled by the BCM.
The BCM: controls certain body functions.
- sends out a class 2 message via the serial data line, which enables/disables other modules at the
beginning/end of RAP power mode.
Some BCM features, such as the interior courtesy lamps will function after the 10 minute RAP time
limit has elapsed. This is normal, and does not mean RAP power mode is malfunctioning. The
BCM enables the following functions in RAP Power Mode: The sunroof (internal to BCM - if equipped)
- The right and left power rear windows (internal to BCM - if equipped)
- Any class 2 module that functions in RAP power mode (that is not hard-wired), is controlled by the
BCM via class 2 power mode messages. EXAMPLE: the radio works in RAP power mode due to
the BCM allowing and controlling it.
RAP is disabled when: The door is opened.
- A low battery voltage is detected by the BCM.
- The transition of ignition switch from OFF to ON or ACC.
- 10 minutes have elapsed after the ignition was turned OFF.
- There may be some functions of the vehicle that are hard-wired straight to the battery, these are
the exceptions.
The BCM monitors the ignition switch position, battery voltage and passenger compartment door
status to determine whether RAP power mode should be enabled. If the ignition switch transitions
from ON to OFF, the battery voltage is within the acceptable range and the passenger
compartment doors are closed, the BCM enables RAP power mode. After the 10 minutes has
elapsed, the BCM sends a class 2 message to the serial data network. This message commands
the other modules to stop functioning, that are power moded by the BCM.
RAP RELAY (IF EQUIPPED)
The long base vehicles (GMT370), with third row seating, will have a RAP relay (RAP relay is also
on the G/H Van). Due to this, the BCM will power/enable a relay. On the short based vehicles
(GMT360), the RAP output only needs to drive the sunroof. The BCM is able to supply enough
current to operate the sunroof by itself, so a relay is not needed. Although, on the
GMT370/longbase vehicle, there are optional powered rear quarter vent windows, which are also
enabled in RAP power mode. Refer to Retained Accessory Power (RAP) Schematics for the
applicable schematics for RAP on both vehicle types. On the GMT370/longbase vehicle, the BCM
is not able to supply enough current to both rear quarter vent windows and the sunroof at the same
time (if equipped with both options). This is the purpose of the RAP relay. The BCM energizes the
RAP relay coil, which allows a fused power supply to the sunroof and the rear quarter vent
windows.

- A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The J 38125-C also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items:
- A large sampling of common electrical terminals
- The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires
- The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-C. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.

This bulletin is being revised to add the new part numbers for the Spark Plugs and Ignition Coils.
Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-06-04-048A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion
System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that, after severe weather that includes large amounts of rain in a
short period of time, the engine has a rough idle and/or flashing MIL/SES light. Upon further
investigation, there may be the following DTC(s): P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305 or
P0306.
This condition can be aggravated if the vehicle is parked nose down on an incline during this type
of weather. The customer may also comment on repeat occurrences of this condition because
water may be passing over the Air Intake Plenum (AIP).
Cause
The dripping rain water onto the engine cam cover will collect at the coil(s) and may seep past the
coil(s) into the spark plug(s) well of the cylinder head and may affect the operation of the spark
plug(s) and coil(s), causing the misfire(s).
Correction
Before replacing the AIP seal, refer to Misfire diagnostics in SI to determine if water intrusion was
the cause of the misfire.
Diagnostic Aids for Misfire
Refer to SI for Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine Noises.
If no trouble found (NTF) using SI document on Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine
Noises, then refer to SI for Misfire DTC(s).
If Misfire diagnostic leads to the removal of the coil(s) and spark plug(s), refer to the following SI
Documents:

Oil Viscosity
Engine Oil: Description and Operation Oil Viscosity
ENGINE OIL VISCOSITY, UNITED STATES AND CANADA
NOTICE: Using oils of any viscosity other than those recommended could result in engine damage.
When choosing an oil, consider the range of temperatures the vehicle will be operated in before the
next oil change. Then, select the recommended oil viscosity.
SAE 5W-30 is the only viscosity grade recommended for your vehicle. Use only oils which have the
API Starburst symbol and which are also identified as SAE 5W-30. If the temperature range
is-18°F( 0°C) or above SAE 10W-30 oil which has the API Starbust symbol is acceptable if SAE
5W 30 oils is not available. Areas where the temperature falls below -29°F (-20°C), either an SAE
5W-30 synthetic oil or and SAE 0W-30 oil is recommended. Both will provide easier cold starting
and better protection for the engine at extremely low temperatures. Do not use other viscosity
grade oils, such as SAE 10W-40 or SAE 20W-50 under any conditions. SAE 5W-30 is the
recommended engine oil viscosity. Engine oil viscosity thickness has an effect on the fuel economy
and the cold-weather operation engine starting and oil flow. Lower viscosity engine oils can provide
better fuel economy and cold-weather performance. However, higher temperature weather
conditions require higher viscosity engine oils for satisfactory lubrication. When the temperature is
consistently above -18°C (0°F), 10W-30 may be used. SAE 20W-50 or oils of other viscosity rating
or quality designations are NOT recommended for use in any GMC vehicle at any time.

Global Positioning System Antenna: Description and Operation
CELLULAR AND NAVIGATION ANTENNAS
This vehicle will be equipped with either separate cellular and navigation antennas, or a
combination cellular and navigation antenna, which brings the functions of both into a single part.
The cellular antenna is the component that allows the OnStar(R) system to send and receive data
over airwaves by means of cellular technology. This antenna is connected at the base to a coax
cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The navigation antenna is used to collect the constant
signals of the orbiting satellites. Within the antenna, is housed a low noise amplifier that allows for
a more broad and precise reception of this data. Current GPS location is collected by the module
every time a keypress is made. The OnStar(R) Call Center also has the capability of pinging the
vehicle during an OnStar(R) call, which commands the module to retrieve the latest GPS location
and transmit it to the OnStar(R) Call Center. A history location of the last recorded position of the
vehicle is stored in the module and marked as aged. In the event the VCP loses or is removed from
power, this history location is used by the OnStar(R) Call Center as a default. Actual GPS location
may take up to 10 minutes to register in the event of a loss of power. This antenna requires a clear
and unobstructed path to the satellites in the sky. Window tinting on vehicles may interfere with the
GPS sensor functions, depending upon the amount of darkening and/or metallic particles that are
embedded in the film of the tinting material.

If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-C. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure
if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
- Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
- Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
- When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
- Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
- Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
- If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

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.

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

Do NOT replace an EV fan unless a specific condition related to the EV fan is identified using SI
diagnostics. If the fan has a condition that warrants replacement, a DTC should set and/or SI
diagnostics should lead to the replacement of the fan clutch.
If the fan is not operating at the proper speed/function, the appropriate diagnostic trouble code
should set.
Identify the root cause of the condition. Please make sure to do a thorough review of SI for proper
diagnostics. Several Service Bulletins and Preliminary Information are available on SI regarding the
EV fan.
Refer to "Operating Characteristics" and "Diagnostic Tips" in this bulletin for additional information.
Operating Characteristics of the Electro-Viscous (EV) Fan Clutch
Changes to the EV fan clutch to improve the HVAC performance basically increase airflow in
certain conditions. It is now possible during start up for the EV fan clutch to be engaged and match
engine speed for about 1 minute depending on driving speeds (with lower speeds having a longer
disengagement time) producing some noise/flare. The noise/flare will most likely be intermittent
and can be dependent on the following conditions:
^ Fan clutch valve orientation, with check ball at 11:00 position as viewed from front of vehicle
when the engine is stopped.
^ HVAC or powertrain cooling conditions when the vehicle is shut off.
^ Parking incline - vehicles parked nose up on a 16% or higher incline (such as vehicles coming off
transport or parked on steep driveways) may have prolonged fan noise/flare until the fluid is
pumped out of the working chamber of the fan. These conditions can occur in as little as ten
minutes. Once the vehicle is not parked in these conditions, it should operate as expected.
^ Please note that if the vehicle is parked nose down with a 16% or more decline, the EV fan clutch
may have a delayed engagement response similar to what is described in Corporate Bulletin
Number 04-01-38-019A.
Important:
Do not replace EV fan clutches for these conditions listed above; they are expected vehicle
characteristics. If the fan clutch is truly operating at a speed higher than intended, a DTC P0495 or
P1484 should set. Additional codes are available for other conditions.
Diagnostic Tips
Depending on the vehicle year, the Tech 2(R) may allow some EV fan control using the special
functions application of the Tech 2 (refer to the proper SI documentation). If this function or a fused
jumper wire is being used to check EV fan response, there may be a delay in fan response (up to
2-3 minutes depending on conditions, please refer to SI diagnostics).
The desired fan speed and actual fan speed data (on the Tech 2(R)) can be misleading. The
desired fan speed is comprised of the maximum of multiple parameters (for example engine
coolant temp, A/C pressure, etc.) and may not be the ruling desired fan speed parameter. The end
result may be that the actual desired fan speed is lower than what is displayed.
Additionally, the desired fan speed may be higher than the current engine speed. The fan is limited
by the current engine RPM and will max out at about 3500 RPM under full manual fan engagement
request along with a corresponding engine RPM speed. The 4.2L 1-6 (LL8) engine's desired and
actual fan speeds will usually be closer to each other than the 5.3L V-8 (LM4 or LH6) or the 6.0L
V-8 (LS2).

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

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

INFORMATION
Subject: Service Information Regarding Rear Brake Drum Wheel Cylinder Inspections
Models: 2005 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks 2005 and Prior Saturn Vehicles
with Rear Drum Brakes
Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised add model years and include all GM vehicles. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 03-05-24-001 (Section 03 - Suspension).
This bulletin provides information on proper inspection of rear drum brake wheel cylinders.
Important:
It is not recommended that dust boots be removed during inspection processes as dirt and debris
could contaminate the wheel cylinder bore causing premature wear of the wheel cylinder. In
addition, most bores should look damp and some lubricant may drip out from under the boot as a
result of lubricant being present.
All rear drum brake wheel cylinders are assembled with a lubricant to aid in assembly, provide an
anti-corrosion coating to the cylinder bore, and lubricate internal rubber components. As a result of
this lubrication process, it is not uncommon for some amount of lubricant to accumulate at the ends
of the cylinder under the dust boot.
Over time, the lubricant may work its way to the outside of the boot and cause an area of the boot
to look damp. Evidence of a damp area on the boot does not indicate a leak in the cylinder.
However, if there is excessive wetness (i.e. drips) coming from the boot area of the wheel cylinder,
it could indicate a brake hydraulic fluid leak requiring wheel cylinder replacement. (Refer to the
Wheel Cylinder Replacement procedures in the appropriate Service Manual.)

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).

Drive Belt Chirping Diagnosis
Test Description The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.
2. The noise may not be engine related. This step is to verify that the engine is making the noise. If
the engine is not making the noise do not proceed
further with this table.
3. The noise may be an internal engine noise. Removing the drive belt and operating the engine for
a brief period will verify the noise is related to the
drive belt. When removing the drive belt(s) the water pump may not be operating and the engine
may overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive belt removed.
4. Inspect all drive belt pulleys for pilling. Pilling is the small balls or pills or it may be strings in the
drive belt grooves from the accumulation of
rubber dust.
6. Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from improper mounting of the accessory drive
component, incorrect installation of the accessory drive
component pulley, or the pulley bent inward or outward from a previous repair. Test for a misalign
pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across two or three pulleys. If a misalign pulley is
found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation procedure for that pulley.
10. Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that a wrong bolt, nut, spacer, or
washer was installed. 12. Inspecting the pulleys for being bent should include inspecting for a dent
or other damage to the pulleys that would prevent the drive belt from not
seating properly in all of the pulley grooves or on the smooth surface of a pulley when the back
side of the belt is used to drive the pulley.
14. Replacing the drive belt when it is not damaged or there is not excessive pilling will only be a
temporary repair.

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

Door Switch: Description and Operation
DOOR AJAR SWITCHES
The CTD system uses the rear door ajar switches in the door lock assemblies as one method to
activate the alarm. The body control module (BCM) monitors rear door ajar switches via a discrete
input from each rear passenger door ajar switch, if the BCM receives a ground signal from a rear
passenger door ajar switch when the CTD system is armed, the BCM activates the alarm.
The CTD system uses the LH front door ajar switch as one method to activate the alarm. The driver
door module (DDM) monitors the LH door ajar switch via a discreet input from the door ajar switch,
if the DDM receives a ground signal from the LH door ajar switch when the CTD system is armed
the message is communicated through the serial data circuit to the BCM and the alarm is activated.
The CTD system uses the RH front door ajar switch as one method to activate the alarm. The
passenger door module (PDM) monitors the RH door ajar switch via a discreet input from the door
ajar switch, if the PDM receives a ground signal from the RH door ajar switch when the CTD
system is armed the message is communicated through the serial data circuit to the BCM and the
alarm is activated.
The CTD system uses the rear compartment liftgate/liftglass ajar switchs as one method to activate
the alarm. The liftgate module (LGM) monitors the liftgate and liftglass ajar switch via a discreet
input from the ajar switch, if the LGM receives a ground signal from the liftgate or liftglass ajar
switch when the CTD system is armed the message is communicated through the serial data circuit
to the BCM and the alarm is activated.

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

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

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?

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

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

Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6.
If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is
a short to ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2.
Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across
the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered).
- When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
- If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter
TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
The J 39200 instruction Data is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is
present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with
a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance
that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
- Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving.
- 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.

Description and Operation
Malfunction Lamp / Indicator: Description and Operation
AIR BAG INDICATOR
The AIR BAG indicator, located in the IPC is used to notify the driver of SIR system malfunctions
and to verify that the SDM is communicating with the IPC. When the ignition is turned ON, the SDM
is supplied with ignition positive voltage. The SDM requests the IPC to flash the AIR BAG indicator
seven times. While flashing the indicator, the SDM conducts test on all SIR system components
and circuits. If no malfunctions are detected the SDM will communicate with the IPC through the
class 2 serial data circuit and command the AIR BAG indicator OFF. The SDM provides continuous
monitoring of the air bag circuits by conducting a sequence of checks. If a malfunction is detected
the SDM will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and command the IPC to turn the AIR BAG
indicator ON via class 2 serial data. The presence of a SIR system malfunction could result in
non-deployment of the air bags or deployment in conditions less severe than intended. The AIR
BAG indicator will remain ON until the malfunction has been repaired.

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

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

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

Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6.
If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is
a short to ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2.
Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across
the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered).
- When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
- If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter
TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
The J 39200 instruction Data is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is
present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with
a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance
that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
- Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving.
- Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a
component or to other harnesses.
- If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used in
order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.

6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the
middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper
handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing:
- The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
- A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-C if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA
ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to
ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the
plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated
in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a
terminal for replacement.
Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

Steps 4-6
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table. 1. This step verifies that the
RAP power mode function is malfunctioning by checking functions internally enabled by the BCM.
4. The BCM sends Class 2 messages to other control modules via the serial data link, allowing
them to operate in RAP power mode. Lack of
communication may be due to a partial malfunction of the class 2 serial data circuit or due to a total
malfunction of the class 2 serial data circuit. The specified procedure will determine the particular
condition.
5. This step is checking for DTCs in the BCM. 6. The presence of DTCs which begin with "U"
indicate that other module is not communicating. The specified procedure will compile all the
available information before tests are performed.

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

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

If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-C. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure
if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
- Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
- Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
- When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
- Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
- Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
- If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6.
If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is
a short to ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2.
Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across
the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered).
- When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
- If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter
TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
The J 39200 instruction Data is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is
present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with
a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance
that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
- Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving.
- 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.

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor
The camshaft position (CMP) sensor is triggered by a notched reluctor wheel built into the exhaust
camshaft sprocket. The CMP sensor provides six signal pulses every camshaft revolution. Each
notch, or feature of the reluctor wheel is of a different size for individual cylinder identification. This
means the CMP and CKP signals are pulse width encoded to enable the PCM to constantly
monitor their relationship. This relationship is used to determine camshaft actuator position and
control its phasing at the correct value. The PCM also uses this signal to identify the compression
stroke of each cylinder, and for sequential fuel injection. The CMP sensor is connected to the PCM
by a 12-volt, low reference, and signal circuit.

the MAF may be low and any or all of the concerns listed above may occur.
When servicing a vehicle with any of these concerns, be sure to check for the presence of an
aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter. The MAF, GPS reading should be compared
to a like vehicle with an OEM air box and filter under the same driving conditions to verify the
concern.
The use of an aftermarket reusable air filter DOES NOT void the vehicle's warranty.
If an aftermarket reusable air filter is used, technicians should inspect the MAF sensor element and
the air induction hose for contamination of oil prior to making warranty repairs.
Transmission or engine driveability concerns (related to the MAF sensor being contaminated with
oil) that are the result of the use of an aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter are not
considered to be warrantable repair items.

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised add model years and include all GM vehicles. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 03-05-24-001 (Section 03 - Suspension).
This bulletin provides information on proper inspection of rear drum brake wheel cylinders.
Important:
It is not recommended that dust boots be removed during inspection processes as dirt and debris
could contaminate the wheel cylinder bore causing premature wear of the wheel cylinder. In
addition, most bores should look damp and some lubricant may drip out from under the boot as a
result of lubricant being present.
All rear drum brake wheel cylinders are assembled with a lubricant to aid in assembly, provide an
anti-corrosion coating to the cylinder bore, and lubricate internal rubber components. As a result of
this lubrication process, it is not uncommon for some amount of lubricant to accumulate at the ends
of the cylinder under the dust boot.
Over time, the lubricant may work its way to the outside of the boot and cause an area of the boot
to look damp. Evidence of a damp area on the boot does not indicate a leak in the cylinder.
However, if there is excessive wetness (i.e. drips) coming from the boot area of the wheel cylinder,
it could indicate a brake hydraulic fluid leak requiring wheel cylinder replacement. (Refer to the
Wheel Cylinder Replacement procedures in the appropriate Service Manual.)

If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-C. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure
if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
- Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
- Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
- When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
- Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
- Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
- If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

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

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

Recall - Brake Pipe Scoring
File In Section: Product Recalls
Bulletin No.: 03025
Date: May, 2003
PRODUCT SAFETY RECALL
SUBJECT: 03025 - BRAKE PIPE SCORING
MODELS: 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER 2003 GMC ENVOY 2003 OLDSMOBILE BRAVADA
CONDITION
General Motors has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain
2003 model year Chevrolet TrailBlazer, GMC Envoy, and Oldsmobile Bravada vehicles. On some
of these vehicles, the front left brake pipe may have been scored during manufacturing. The brake
pipe may lose strength at the score location due to corrosion and fatigue resulting from brake fluid
pressure, vibration, and temperature changes. As a result of this, the brake pipe may eventually
fracture at the score location. If the brake pipe were to fracture, brake pedal travel would be
increased and front brake performance would be reduced. In these instances, braking would be
limited to that available with the remaining half system (rear brakes).
In all of the above cases, the brake light would illuminate after sufficient fluid leaked out of the
system to activate the low fluid level switch in the master cylinder reservoir. These conditions would
meet the half system requirements of MVSS 135.
CORRECTION
Dealers are to inspect the front left brake pipe and replace it, if necessary.
VEHICLES INVOLVED
Involved are certain 2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer, GMC Envoy, and Oldsmobile Bravada vehicles
built within the VIN breakpoints shown.
IMPORTANT:
Dealers should confirm vehicle eligibility through GMVIS (GM Vehicle Inquiry System) or GM
Access Screen (Canada only) or DCS Screen 445 (IPC only) before beginning recall repairs. [Not
all vehicles within the above breakpoints may be involved.]
Involved vehicles have been identified by Vehicle Identification Number. Computer listings
containing the complete Vehicle Identification Number, customer name and address data have
been prepared, and are being furnished to involved dealers with the recall bulletin. The customer
name and address data will enable dealers to follow up with customers involved in this recall. Any
dealer not receiving a computer listing with the recall bulletin has no involved vehicles currently
assigned.
These dealer listings may contain customer names and addresses obtained from Motor Vehicle
Registration Records. The use of such motor vehicle registration data for any other purpose is a
violation of law in several states/provinces/countries. Accordingly, you are urged to limit the use of
this listing to the follow-up necessary to complete this recall.

- If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
- Wiring broken inside the insulation
- Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector.
- Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter, improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the
connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor
terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-C or the J 38125-4 Instruction Data for terminal identification.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2.
Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or
green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J 38125-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

Processes shown in the Table 3 are capable of recycling waste engine coolants (DEX-COOL(R) or
conventional) to a conventional (green) coolant. Recycling conventional coolant can be
accomplished at your facility by a technician using approved EQUIPMENT (listed by model number
in Table 3), or by an approved coolant recycling SERVICE which may recycle the coolant at your
facility or at an offsite operation. Refer to the table for GM approved coolant recyclers in either of
these two categories. Should you decide to recycle the coolant yourself, strict adherence to the
operating procedures is imperative. Use ONLY the inhibitor chemicals supplied by the respective
(GM approved) recycling equipment manufacturer.
Sealing Tablets
Cooling System Sealing Tablets (Seal Tabs) should not be used as a regular maintenance item
after servicing an engine cooling system. Discoloration of coolant can occur if too many seal tabs
have been inserted into the cooling system. This can occur if seal tabs are repeatedly used over
the service life of a vehicle. Where appropriate, seal tabs may be used if diagnostics fail to repair a
small leak in the cooling system. When a condition appears in which seal tabs may be
recommended, a specific bulletin will be released describing their proper usage.
Water Quality
The integrity of the coolant is dependent upon the quality of DEX-COOL(R) and water.
DEX-COOL(R) is a product that has enhanced protection capability as well as an extended service
interval. These enhanced properties may be jeopardized by combining DEX-COOL(R) with poor
quality water. If you suspect the water in your area of being poor quality, it is recommended you
use distilled or de-ionized water with DEX-COOL(R).
"Pink" DEX-COOL(R)
DEX-COOL(R) is orange in color to distinguish it from other coolants. Due to inconsistencies in the
mixing of the dyes used with DEX-COOL(R), some batches may appear pink after time. The color
shift from orange to pink does not affect the integrity of the coolant, and still maintains the 5
yr/150,000 mile (240,000 km) service interval.
Back Service
Only use DEX-COOL(R) if the vehicle was originally equipped with DEX-COOL(R).

Camshaft Actuator System
Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Camshaft Actuator System
CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) ACTUATOR SYSTEM
The Camshaft Position Actuator system is used for a variety of engine performance enhancements.
These enhancements include lower emission output through exhaust gas recirculation control, a
wider engine torque range, improved gas millage, and improved engine idle stability. The CMP
Actuator system accomplishes this by controlling the amount of intake and exhaust valve overlap.
CMP ACTUATOR SYSTEM OPERATION
The CMP Actuator system is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM sends
a pulse width modulated 12 volt signal to a Camshaft Position (CMP) Actuator Solenoid in order to
control the amount of engine oil flow to a cam Phaser passage. There are two different passages
for oil to flow through, a passage for cam advance and a passage for cam retard. The Cam Phaser
is attached to a camshaft and is hydraulically operated in order to change the angle of the camshaft
relative to crankshaft position. Engine oil pressure, viscosity, temperature and engine oil level can
have an adverse affect on cam phaser performance. The PCM calculates the optimum cam
position through the following inputs: Engine Speed
- Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP)
- Throttle Position (TP) Indicated Angle
- Crankshaft Position (CKP)
- Camshaft Position (CMP)
- Engine Load.
- Barometric (BARO) Pressure
The Cam Phaser default position is 0 degrees. The PCM uses the following inputs before assuming
control of the cam phaser: Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
- Closed Loop Fuel Control
- Engine Oil Temperature
- Engine Oil Pressure
- Engine Oil Level
- CMP Actuator Solenoid circuit state
- Ignition 1 signal voltage
- Barometric (BARO) Pressure
CMP ACTUATOR SOLENOID CIRCUIT DIAGNOSTICS
The PCM monitors the control circuits of the CMP Actuator Solenoid for electrical faults. The PCM
has the ability to determine if a control circuit is open, shorted high, and shorted low. If the PCM
detects a fault with a CMP Actuator Solenoid circuit a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set.
CMP ACTUATOR SYSTEM PERFORMANCE DIAGNOSTICS
The PCM monitors the performance of the CMP Actuator system by monitoring the actual and
desired positions of a cam phaser. If the difference between the actual and desired position is more
than a calibrated angle for more than a calibrated amount of time, a DTC will set.

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

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
Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at
convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment.
- Testing for Short to Ground
- Testing for Continuity
- Testing for a Short to Voltage
If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200
DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J
39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected.
IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J
39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and
maximum (MAX) values measured.
1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of
a suspected circuit to the other. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC)
position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4.
Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 ms RECORD and emits an
audible tone (beep).

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

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

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

IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
- Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector.
- Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
- After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a
trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot.
The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows
comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a
first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be
lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
- Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
- Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor
The camshaft position (CMP) sensor is triggered by a notched reluctor wheel built into the exhaust
camshaft sprocket. The CMP sensor provides six signal pulses every camshaft revolution. Each
notch, or feature of the reluctor wheel is of a different size for individual cylinder identification. This
means the CMP and CKP signals are pulse width encoded to enable the PCM to constantly
monitor their relationship. This relationship is used to determine camshaft actuator position and
control its phasing at the correct value. The PCM also uses this signal to identify the compression
stroke of each cylinder, and for sequential fuel injection. The CMP sensor is connected to the PCM
by a 12-volt, low reference, and signal circuit.

these systems will then completely power OFF.
OnStar(R) Module Expected Current Draw
The expected current draw of the OnStar(R) module in various ignition modes are as follows:
^ Ignition ON ‐ 240 to 400 mA
^ Ignition OFF ‐ 3 to 20 mA for 48 hours
^ Ignition OFF ‐ 0.2 to 0.8 mA after 48 hours (120 hours on specified vehicle
communication platforms (VCPs)).
Note
During extended voltage testing for battery parasitic draw, it is possible to observe a voltage spike
caused by the following:
^ A cellular registration call that was triggered by the local cellular system.
^ The OnStar(R) system has set a monthly trigger for a vehicle data upload call for the OnStar(R)
Vehicle Diagnostic E‐mail upload.
OnStar(R) System States of Readiness
The OnStar(R) system will use the following 4 states of readiness, depending upon the type of
cellular market the vehicle is in when the ignition is turned OFF.
^ High power
^ Low power
^ Sleep
^ Digital standby
The high power state is in effect whenever the ignition is in the ON or RUN position, retained
accessory power (RAP) is enabled, and/or the OnStar(R) system is sending or receiving calls or
when the system is performing a remote function.
The low power state is in effect when the OnStar(R) system is idle with the ignition in the ON or
RUN position, or with RAP enabled.
The sleep state is entered after the vehicle has been shut OFF and the RAP has timed out. At a
predetermined time recorded within the VCIM, the system re-enters the low power state to listen for
a call from the OnStar(R) Call Center for 1 minute. After this interval, the system will again return to
the sleep state for 9 minutes. If a call is sent during the 1 minute interval, the OnStar(R) system will
receive the call and immediately go into the high power mode to perform any requested functions.
If a call is not received during the 1 minute interval, the system will go back into the sleep mode for
another 9 minutes. This process will continue for up to 48 hours, after which the OnStar(R) system
will turn OFF until the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position.
The digital standby power state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the RAP has
timed out while in a digital cellular area. When in digital standby mode, the OnStar(R) module is
able to perform all remote functions as commanded by an OnStar(R) advisor at any time, for a
continuous 48 hours. After 48 hours, the OnStar(R) module will go into sleep mode until a wake up
signal from the vehicle is seen by the CIM. If the OnStar module loses the digital cellular signal it
will revert to analog mode and follow the standard sleep state (9 minutes OFF, 1 minute standby)
based on the time of the GPS signals, this will continue until a digital cellular signal is again
received.
If the OnStar(R) system loses battery power while the system is in a standby or sleep mode, the
system will remain OFF until battery power is restored and the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN
position.
Deactivated OnStar(R) Accounts
In the event that a customer has not upgraded their vehicle to a digital system, the account has
been deactivated. The customers have been previously notified of the steps required to upgrade
their vehicles. After the OnStar(R) account has been deactivated, customers will experience the
following:
^ The OnStar(R) status LED will not illuminate
^ The OnStar(R) system will NOT attempt to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center in the event of a
collision or if the vehicle's front air bags deploy for any other reason.
^ An emergency button press will result in a demo message being played, indicating the service
has been deactivated and needs to be upgraded.

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

intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
- If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
- Wiring broken inside the insulation
- Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector.
- Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter, improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the
connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor
terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-C or the J 38125-4 Instruction Data for terminal identification.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2.
Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or
green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J 38125-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6.
If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is
a short to ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2.
Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across
the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered).
- When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
- If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter
TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
The J 39200 instruction Data is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is
present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with
a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance
that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
- Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving.
- 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.

If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-C. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure
if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
- Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
- Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
- When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
- Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
- Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
- If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

Page 8352
IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value
in order to record the full change.
5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling
the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations.
6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has
been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the
value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9.
Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values.
- If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 volt or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
- If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
- Wiring broken inside the insulation
- Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector.
- Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter, improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the
connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor
terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-C or the J 38125-4 Instruction Data for terminal identification.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2.
Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or
green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J 38125-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

The noise/disturbance occurs when the torque converter momentarily goes to a full lock-up state,
resulting in zero slip of the torque converter. When the torque converter returns to normal ECCC
mode with 30 RPM of slip, the noise will go away. The disturbance generated by the zero slip
condition is amplified and transferred into the passenger compartment by the rear coil springs.
Correction
Replace the rear coil springs using the following service procedure.
Note:
Use care when handling the coil springs in order to avoid chipping or scratching the coating.
Damage to the coating will result in premature failure of the coil springs.

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

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

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

FASTENERS
METRIC FASTENERS
This vehicle is dimensioned in the metric system. Most metric fasteners are very close in diameter
to well known fasteners in the English, inch system. Replace fasteners with those of the same
nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength.

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

Bulletin No.: 07-08-45-002
Date: September 05, 2007
ADVANCED SERVICE INFORMATION
Subject: Service Alert: Concerns With Aftermarket Fuses in GM Vehicles
Models: 2008 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2008 and
Prior HUMMER H2, H3 2008 and Prior Saab 9-7X
Concerns with Harbor Freight Tools "Storehouse" Branded Blade Type Fuses
General Motors has become aware of a fuse recall by Harbor Freight Tools/Storehouse for a
variety of aftermarket fuses. In two cases, these fuses have not provided protection for the wiring
system of the vehicles they were customer installed in.
Upon testing the 15 amp version, it was found that the fuse still would not "open" when shorted
directly across the battery terminals.
How to Identify These Fuses
Packed in a 120 piece set, the fuse has a translucent, hard plastic, blue body with the amperage
stamped into the top. There are no white painted numbers on the fuse to indicate amperage. There
are no identifying marks on the fuse to tell who is making it. The fuses are known to be distributed
by Harbor Freight Tools but there may be other marketers, and packaging of this style of fuse. It
would be prudent to replace these fuses if found in a customers vehicle. Likewise, if wiring
overheating is found you should check the fuse panel for the presence of this style of fuse.
All GM dealers should use genuine GM fuses on the vehicles they service. You should also
encourage the use of GM fuses to your customers to assure they are getting the required electrical
system protection. GM has no knowledge of any concerns with other aftermarket fuses. If
additional information becomes available, this bulletin will be updated.

The table will be used to measure the resistance of the sensor and compare it with the actual
ambient temperature. The mirror's temperature accuracy should be within 5° of the actual
temperature. The actual temperature should not be taken from a radio station, a sign displaying the
temperature, etc. A temperature measuring tool such as a thermometer should be used. Some
temperature measuring tools may be within 5° of the actual temperature. Make sure to consult the
manufacturer for the accuracy of the tool. This comparison can make the mirror seem off by 5° to
10° of the actual temperature when it is not.

When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200
frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not
lost if the Scan Tool is powered down.
The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis.
The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected
values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and
numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful,
especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC.
Testing For a Short To Voltage
TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to
1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4.
Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.

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

compound consists of graphite suspended in fluid and glass beads. The graphite burns away, but
the glass beads remain, making the sensor easier to remove. New service sensors already have
the compound applied to the threads. If you remove an oxygen sensor and if for any reason you
must install the same oxygen sensor, apply the anti-seize compound to the threads before
reinstallation.
1. Coat the threads of the heated oxygen sensor with the anti-seize compound P/N 5613695, or the
equivalent if necessary. 2. Install the heated oxygen sensor (2) using a J 39194-B.

Drive Belt Falls Off Diagnosis
Test Description The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.
2. This inspection is to verify the condition of the drive belt. Damage may have occurred to the
drive belt when the drive belt fell off. The drive belt
may have been damaged, which caused the drive belt to fall off. Inspect the belt for cuts, tears,
sections of ribs missing, or damaged belt plys.
4. Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from improper mounting of the accessory drive
component, incorrect installation of the accessory drive
component pulley, or the pulley bent inward or outward from a previous repair. Test for a misalign
pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across two or three pulleys. If a misalign pulley is
found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation procedure of that pulley.
5. Inspecting the pulleys for being bent should include inspecting for a dent or other damage to the
pulleys that would prevent the drive belt from not
seating properly in all of the pulley grooves or on the smooth surface of a pulley when the back
side of the belt is used to drive the pulley.
6. Accessory drive component brackets that are bent or cracked will let the drive belt fall off. 7.
Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that a wrong bolt, nut, spacer, or washer
was installed. Missing. loose, or the wrong
fasteners may cause pulley misalignment from the bracket moving under load. Over tightening of
the fasteners may cause misalignment of the accessory component bracket.
Drive Belt Rumbling
Drive Belt Rumbling Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids Vibration from the engine operating may cause a body component or another part
of the vehicle to make rumbling noise.
The drive belt(s) may have a condition that can not be seen or felt. Sometimes replacing the drive
belt may be the only repair for the symptom.
If replacing the drive belt(s), completing the diagnostic table, and the noise is only heard when the
drive belt(s) is installed, there might be an accessory drive component with a failure. Varying the
load on the different accessory drive components may aid in identifying which component is
causing the rumbling noise.

Description and Operation
Daytime Running Lamp: Description and Operation
DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS (DRL)
The ambient light sensor is a light sensitive transistor that varies its voltage signal to the body
control module (BCM) in response to changes to the outside (ambient) light level. When the BCM
receives this signal it will either turn on the daytime running lamps (DRL) through the HDM using
the reduced output or the headlamps at full intensity for auto headlamp operation. Any function or
condition that turns on the headlights will cancel the daytime running lamps operation. The daytime
running lamps (DRL) are the low beam headlights at a reduced intensity. With the headlight switch
in the OFF position, the headlights will either be turned ON or OFF, after an approximate 8 second
delay depending on whether daylight or low light conditions are sensed. When the BCM signals the
HDM for DRL operation in daylight conditions, the HDM illuminates the low beam headlights at a
reduced intensity. The DRL will operate when the ignition switch is in the RUN position, the gear
selector is not in the PARK position and the parking brake is released. When these conditions have
been met and the ambient light sensor indicates daytime conditions, the DRL will illuminate.
On vehicles equipped with the 4-position headlamp switch, the DRL feature can be temporarily
disabled by momentarily placing the headlamp switch in the DRL defeat position. This will signal
the BCM to disable the DRL function until the headlamp switch is momentarily placed in the DRL
defeat position again or until the next ignition key cycle.
DRL operation in Manual Transmission equipped vehicles will occur when the ignition switch is in
the RUN position, and the parking brake is released.

Condition
Some customers may comment on higher than normal engine coolant temperature gauge readings
when operating the vehicle in very high outside ambient temperatures, and in stop and go or slow
moving traffic.
Cause
Reduced air flow across the radiator and preheated air from stopped or slow moving driving
conditions from traffic congestion may result in normally higher engine coolant operating
temperatures as indicated by the temperature gauge.
Correction
Technicians are to reprogram the PCM with an updated software calibration. This new service
calibration was released with TIS satellite data update version 7.3 available July 7, 2004. As
always, make sure your TECH 2(R) is updated with the latest software version.
This new calibration will cause the PCM to command small amounts of additional fan engagement
to control engine coolant temperatures and gauge readings closer to a customer perception of

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

IMPORTANT: 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.
6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has
been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the
value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9.
Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values.
- If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 volt or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
- If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
- Wiring broken inside the insulation
- Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector.
- Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter, improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the
connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor
terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-C or the J 38125-4 Instruction Data for terminal identification.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2.
Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or
green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J 38125-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

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

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

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

Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6.
If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is
a short to ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2.
Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across
the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered).
- When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
- If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter
TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
The J 39200 instruction Data is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is
present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with
a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance
that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
- Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving.
- 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.

Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits:
CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions.
- SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol.
NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions.
- OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol.
Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical
problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on
accessories are not the cause of the problems.
Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include:
- Power feeds connected to points other than the battery
- Antenna location
- Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring
- Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line

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

Circuit/System Description
Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during
normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the
modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module
records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health
monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the
module use a default value for that parameter. Once an identification number is learned by a
module, it will monitor for that module's Node Alive message. Each module on the class 2 serial
data circuit which is powered and performing functions that require detection of a communications
malfunction is required to send a Node Alive message every 2 seconds. When no message is
detected from a learned identification number for 5 seconds, a DTC U1XXX where XXX is equal to

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

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to provide new part number for 2002-2003 vehicles. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 04-06-04-003 (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
This bulletin provides information on two different conditions.
Condition 1
Some customers may comment that their vehicle is difficult to fill with fuel or when filling, the pump
continuously shuts off before the tank is full.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the variability (fuel flow rates, type of fuel fill nozzle, fuel
properties) at the filling stations. There is a potential to develop an increase in back pressures
internal to the fuel fill neck. This back pressure trips the fuel nozzle prior to filling the tank, or results
in a hard to fill condition.
Condition 2 Some customers may comment that when filling the fuel tank, a small amount of fuel
may spit back/out.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the equalization of pressure between the fuel tank and the fuel fill
neck that does not react quickly to the variance in the pressure when the fueling station fuel nozzle
trips off.
Correction
Replace the fuel tank filler upper pipe assembly with P/N 88983256 or P/N 15131043, and lower
hose assembly with P/N 15131046. The new upper pipe has been redesigned to provide smoother
flow conditions within the section and the lower hose has been redesigned to include a checking
feature. Use the procedure listed below.
1. Remove the fuel fill cap.
2. Remove the fuel fill pipe housing.

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

Fuel Gauge Sender: Description and Operation
Fuel Level Sensor
The fuel level sensor consists of a float, a wire float arm, and a ceramic resistor card. The position
of the float arm indicates the fuel level. The fuel level sensor contains a variable resistor which
changes resistance in correspondence with the position of the float arm. The control module sends
the fuel level information via the Class 2 circuit to the instrument panel cluster (IPC). This
information is used for the IPC fuel gage and the low fuel warning indicator, if applicable. The
control module also monitors the fuel level input for various diagnostics.

energy circuits.
The J 38125-C also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items:
- A large sampling of common electrical terminals
- The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires
- The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-C. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:

This bulletin is being revised to update the Warranty information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 05-03-08-007 (Section 03 - Suspension).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a rattle, clunk, pop, loose lumber-type noise coming from the
front and/or rear suspension while driving over rough uneven roads.
Cause
The front and/or rear stabilizer links, may develop additional clearance in the ball joint links leading
to a noise concern.
Correction
1. Road test the vehicle and verify if the noise is coming from the front or rear, left or right of the
vehicle. It is possible in some circumstances that the noise may be coming from the front and rear
suspension.
2. Once it is determined that the noise is coming from the front or rear, left or right of the vehicle,
raise the vehicle on a hoist. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information (SI
Document ID # 1253321).
Caution:
DO NOT DRIVE the vehicle on highways or at a high rate of speed while the stabilizer link(s) are
removed/disconnected from the vehicle. ONLY test drive the vehicle in a parking lot or on a side
street. Driving the vehicle with the link(s) removed/disconnected may reduce vehicle stability.
3. Remove or disconnect the suspect stabilizer link(s) from the appropriate stabilizer shaft and
re-road test the vehicle with the links disconnected to verify the source of the noise.
^ If the noise is still present with the suspect link(s) removed the source of the noise is NOT the
stabilizer links. Refer to the information below for diagnostic assistance.

with 4.2L Engine (VIN S - RPO LL8)
Condition
Some customers may comment on an intermittent hesitation/stumble or idle stall within minutes of
starting after the vehicle has been sitting for several hours. Additionally, some customers with a
2003 model year vehicle may comment on a harsh 1-2 shift or 1-2 slip shift that has a bump feeling
when 2nd gear engages.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the EVAP diagnostic test as it opens the purge valve for a few
seconds and then closes it to verify proper emission sensor operation. If the purge canister is
saturated, the EVAP system on-board diagnostic test may cause the vehicle to correct for a rich
condition from the canister. The vehicle would then become lean when the purge valve closes at
the completion of the test. This condition occurs primarily with high RVP fuel and after the vehicle
sits for several hours in a warm ambient, above 21°C (70°F). A customer who takes short trips is
more likely to experience this condition, as they don't have the drive cycle that would allow the
purge canister to fully re-circulate the fuel vapor.
Correction
For Hesitation, Stumble or Idle Stall:
Follow the SI diagnostics for the stall/stumble condition. If the result is no trouble found, then
reprogram the module with the latest calibration.
For Harsh or Slipping Shifts on 2003 Model Year vehicles:
Reprogram the module with the latest calibration.
The calibrations listed are electronic calibrations and are NOT available from GMSPO. Calibrations
will be available from Techline starting September 2003, on the TIS 2003 Disc 10.0 CD ROM.

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

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

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.

Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors.
Backprobe
IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
- Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector.
- Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
- After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a
trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot.
The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows
comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a
first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be
lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
- Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
- Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information

Generator: Diagnostic Aids
Basic Knowledge Required
BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED
Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures. You
should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current
(amps) and resistance (ohms). You should understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a
shorted wire. You should be able to read and understand a wiring diagram.
Checking Aftermarket Accessories
CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES
Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits:
CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions.
- SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol.
NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions.
- OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol.
Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical
problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on
accessories are not the cause of the problems.
Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include:
- Power feeds connected to points other than the battery
- Antenna location
- Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring
- Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line
- Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS
In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness
if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide
variety of actions, including:
- Wiggling the harness
- Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
- Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
- Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
- Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load
the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks,
jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by
manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short
and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max
mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results.
Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide
good results as well.
There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the
fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other
conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions,
along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the
circuit to these kinds of conditions.
Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in
water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance
the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more
readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture.
Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5
percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's
own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is
completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan
tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously.
Page 2367
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.

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.

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

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

- 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.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor is a permanent magnet generator, known as a variable
reluctance sensor. The magnetic field of the sensor is altered by a crankshaft mounted reluctor
wheel that has seven machined slots, six of which are equally spaced 60 degrees apart. The
seventh slot is spaced 10 degrees after one of the 60 degree slots. The CKP sensor produces
seven pulses for each revolution of the crankshaft. The pulse from the 10 degree slot is known as
the sync pulse. The sync pulse is used to synchronize the coil firing sequence with the crankshaft
position. The CKP sensor is connected to the PCM by a signal circuit and a low reference circuit.

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

these systems will then completely power OFF.
OnStar(R) Module Expected Current Draw
The expected current draw of the OnStar(R) module in various ignition modes are as follows:
^ Ignition ON ‐ 240 to 400 mA
^ Ignition OFF ‐ 3 to 20 mA for 48 hours
^ Ignition OFF ‐ 0.2 to 0.8 mA after 48 hours (120 hours on specified vehicle
communication platforms (VCPs)).
Note
During extended voltage testing for battery parasitic draw, it is possible to observe a voltage spike
caused by the following:
^ A cellular registration call that was triggered by the local cellular system.
^ The OnStar(R) system has set a monthly trigger for a vehicle data upload call for the OnStar(R)
Vehicle Diagnostic E‐mail upload.
OnStar(R) System States of Readiness
The OnStar(R) system will use the following 4 states of readiness, depending upon the type of
cellular market the vehicle is in when the ignition is turned OFF.
^ High power
^ Low power
^ Sleep
^ Digital standby
The high power state is in effect whenever the ignition is in the ON or RUN position, retained
accessory power (RAP) is enabled, and/or the OnStar(R) system is sending or receiving calls or
when the system is performing a remote function.
The low power state is in effect when the OnStar(R) system is idle with the ignition in the ON or
RUN position, or with RAP enabled.
The sleep state is entered after the vehicle has been shut OFF and the RAP has timed out. At a
predetermined time recorded within the VCIM, the system re-enters the low power state to listen for
a call from the OnStar(R) Call Center for 1 minute. After this interval, the system will again return to
the sleep state for 9 minutes. If a call is sent during the 1 minute interval, the OnStar(R) system will
receive the call and immediately go into the high power mode to perform any requested functions.
If a call is not received during the 1 minute interval, the system will go back into the sleep mode for
another 9 minutes. This process will continue for up to 48 hours, after which the OnStar(R) system
will turn OFF until the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position.
The digital standby power state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the RAP has
timed out while in a digital cellular area. When in digital standby mode, the OnStar(R) module is
able to perform all remote functions as commanded by an OnStar(R) advisor at any time, for a
continuous 48 hours. After 48 hours, the OnStar(R) module will go into sleep mode until a wake up
signal from the vehicle is seen by the CIM. If the OnStar module loses the digital cellular signal it
will revert to analog mode and follow the standard sleep state (9 minutes OFF, 1 minute standby)
based on the time of the GPS signals, this will continue until a digital cellular signal is again
received.
If the OnStar(R) system loses battery power while the system is in a standby or sleep mode, the
system will remain OFF until battery power is restored and the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN
position.
Deactivated OnStar(R) Accounts
In the event that a customer has not upgraded their vehicle to a digital system, the account has
been deactivated. The customers have been previously notified of the steps required to upgrade
their vehicles. After the OnStar(R) account has been deactivated, customers will experience the
following:
^ The OnStar(R) status LED will not illuminate
^ The OnStar(R) system will NOT attempt to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center in the event of a
collision or if the vehicle's front air bags deploy for any other reason.
^ An emergency button press will result in a demo message being played, indicating the service
has been deactivated and needs to be upgraded.

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

OnStar(R) Microphone
The OnStar(R), or cellular microphone, can be a part of the rearview mirror assembly, or on some
vehicle lines, a separate, stand alone unit.
In either case, the VCIM supplies approximately 10 volts to the microphone on the cellular
microphone signal circuit, and voice data from the user is sent back to the VCIM over the same
circuit. A cellular microphone low reference circuit or a drain wire provides a ground for the
microphone.
Cellular and GPS Antennas
The vehicle will be equipped with one of the following types of antennas:
^ Separate, stand-alone cellular and navigation (GPS) antennas.
^ A combination cellular and navigation (GPS) antenna, which brings the functions of both into a
single part.
^ A cellular, GPS, and digital radio receiver (DRR) antenna, which also incorporates the
functionality of the DRR satellite antenna (XM).
The cellular antenna is the component that allows the OnStar(R) system to send and receive data
using electromagnetic waves by means of cellular technology. The antenna is connected at the
base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM.
The GPS antenna is used to collect the signals of the orbiting GPS satellites. Within the antenna is
housed a low noise amplifier that allows for a more broad and precise reception of this data. The
antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The cable also
provides a path for DC current for powering the antenna.
The OnStar(R) Call Center also has the capability of communicating with the vehicle during an
OnStar(R) call to retrieve the latest GPS location and transmit it to the OnStar(R) Call Center. A
history location of the last recorded position of the vehicle is stored in the module and marked as
aged, for as long as the module power is not removed. Actual GPS location may take up to 10
minutes to register in the event of a loss of power.
Audio System Interface
When the OnStar(R) requires audio output, a serial data message is sent to the audio system to
mute all radio functions and transmit OnStar(R) originated audio. The OnStar(R) audio is
transmitted to the vehicle audio system by a dedicated signal circuit and a low reference circuit.
The audio system will mute and an audible ring will be heard though the speakers if the vehicle
receives a call with the radio ON.
On some vehicles, the HVAC blower speed may be reduced when the OnStar(R) system is active
to aid in reducing interior noise. When the system is no longer active, the blower speed will return
to its previous setting.
OnStar(R) Steering Wheel Controls
Some vehicles may have a button on the steering wheel, that when pushed can engage the
OnStar(R) system. The button may be a symbol of a face with sound waves, or may say MUTE, or
be a symbol of a radio speaker with a slash through it.
By engaging the OnStar(R) system with this feature, the user can interact with the system by use of
voice commands. A complete list of these commands is supplied in the information provided to the
customer. If the information is not available for reference, at any command prompt, the user can
say "HELP" and the VCIM will return an audible list of available commands.
The steering wheel controls consist of multiple momentary contact switches and a resistor network.
The switches and resistor network are arranged so that each switch has a different resistance
value. When a switch is pressed, a voltage drop occurs in the resistor network. This produces a
specific voltage value unique to the switch selected, to be interpreted by the radio or the body
control module (BCM).
OnStar(R) Power Moding (DRX or Sleep Cycle)
The OnStar(R) system uses a unique sleep cycle to allow the system to receive cellular calls while
the ignition is in the OFF position and retained accessory power (RAP) mode has ended.
A green status LED on the OnStar(R) keypad normally indicates an active OnStar(R) account. The
OnStar(R) system will stay powered up after ignition off for an extended time in order to allow for
remote services like door unlock, horn honk, light flash, etcetera to take place as requested by the
customer. Power cycle (also referred to as DRX) times vary depending on the generation of the
OnStar(R) system. Technicians may identify the OnStar(R) system generation by using a Tech 2
and following this menu path: (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by
accessing www.onstarenrollment.com
All Generation 6 digital systems are powered up continuously for 48 hours from ignition OFF. After
48 hours, the Generation 6 systems will enter a 9 minute OFF, 1 minute ON power cycle for an
additional 72 hours. At the beginning and end of the 1 minute ON stage, you may or may not
experience a short spike of current at the beginning and at the end. This allows for calls from
OnStar to be received by the system. After 120 hours from ignition OFF,

Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation
The FTP sensor measures the difference between the pressure or vacuum in the fuel tank and
outside air pressure. The control module provides a 5-volt reference and a ground to the FTP
sensor. The FTP sensor provides a signal voltage back to the control module that can vary
between 0.1-4.9 volts. As FTP increases, FTP sensor voltage decreases, high pressure = low
voltage. As FTP decreases, FTP voltage increases, low pressure or vacuum = high voltage.

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

Transmission Cooler: Description and Operation
Transmission Oil Cooler The transmission oil cooler is a heat exchanger. It is located inside the
right side end tank of the radiator. The transmission fluid temperature is regulated by the
temperature of the engine coolant in the radiator.
The transmission oil pump, pumps the fluid through the transmission oil cooler line to the
transmission oil cooler. The fluid then flows through the cooler where the engine coolant absorbs
heat from the fluid. The fluid is then pumped through the;transmission oil cooler return line, to the
transmission.

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

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

intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
- If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
- Wiring broken inside the insulation
- Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector.
- Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter, improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the
connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor
terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-C or the J 38125-4 Instruction Data for terminal identification.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2.
Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or
green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J 38125-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

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

If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-C. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure
if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
- Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
- Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
- When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
- Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
- Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
- If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper

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

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

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

When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200
frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not
lost if the Scan Tool is powered down.
The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis.
The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected
values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and
numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful,
especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC.

The control module ID number list above provides a method for determining which module is not
communicating. A module with a class 2 serial data circuit malfunction or which loses power during
the current ignition cycle will have a Loss of Communication DTC set by other modules that depend
on information from that failed module. The modules that can communicate will set a DTC
indicating the module that cannot communicate.
Diagnostic Order
When more than one Loss of Communication DTC is set in either one module or in several
modules, diagnose the DTCs in the following order:
1. Current DTCs before history DTCs unless told otherwise in the diagnostic table.
2. The DTC which is reported the most times.
3. From the lowest number DTC to the highest number DTC.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The following DTCs do not have a current status:
^ B1327
^ B1328
^ U1300
^ U1301
^ U1305

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

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.

J 34142-B 12 V Unpowered Test Lamp
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage.
The J 34142-B 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 procedure.
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.
Using Connector Test Adapters
USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS
NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-A Connector Test Adapter Kit or the J
42675 Flat Wire Probe Adapter Kit in order to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other
substitutes as they can damage terminals and cause incorrect measurements.
Using Fused Jumper Wires
USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire
IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged.
The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without
damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some
circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested.
Connector Position Assurance Locks
CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS
The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of
all the SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate
apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR mating
terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance Locks
TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS
The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control
module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not
remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.

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

DVD Navigation Update Program
The data on the DVD map disc ages at a rate of 15-20% per year. As the data ages, the
functionality of the navigation system declines. Offering GM customers new navigation DVDs will
ensure that the customers have the latest information for their system.
General Motors offered a Navigation Disc Update Program for 2006 and 2007 model year vehicles.
This program concluded on December 31, 2009. The DVD Navigation Update Program policy has
changed and customers are no longer eligible for free annual updates, however, a navigation DVD
update disc can be purchased for $199 (USD) + shipping.
If the navigation disc is needed for a warranty situation, the disc can be purchased for $120 (USD).
The dealer must provide a VIN and RO# to qualify for the reduced price. The dealer must call the
GM Navigation Disc Center, as this option is not available on the website.
The GM Navigation Disc Center launched on March 15, 2006. There are two ways to obtain an
updated disc:
- Via the web through gmnavdisc.com
- GM Navigation Disc Center
Navigation Disc Diagnostic Aid
The following table can be used to identify acceptable discs for testing the navigation unit's map
drive functionality. This should only be used to verify the map drive's ability to read the map disc
properly and to determine if there is an issue with the unit's map drive or the disc. Some functions,
such as voice recognition, may not work properly with some of the discs in the list. If the disc is
found to be defective always contact the GM Navigation Disc Center to obtain the most recent disc
for the vehicle.
AVN Software Update Discs
Technical Service Bulletins are sometimes generated to address specific navigation radio
operational or performance issues. When a navigation radio bulletin is issued, it may contain
instructions to utilize an advanced vehicle navigation (AVN) software update with a specific part
number. GM dealers must order advanced vehicle navigation (AVN) software update discs as
directed in the specific bulletin.
AVN software update discs are for the dealer to update the navigation radio software only. They do
NOT update or replace the navigation map disc that is supplied with the vehicle. Please order
these parts only as needed. There is a limited supply of these discs available. Do not order these
discs for stock. AVN software update discs can be used to reprogram more than one vehicle. The
first update disc for each P/N is free. Subsequent copies of the same P/N for the same dealer will
cost $50 (USD).
To obtain an AVN software update disc, follow the specific ordering information provided in the

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add the 2006 model year and update the calibration release date.
Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 05-01-39-002 (Section 01 - HVAC).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a musty odor from the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning
(HVAC) system. This condition occurs most often on initial start up after the vehicle was driven on
a hot humid day.
Cause
This condition may be caused by condensate build-up on the evaporator core, which does not
evaporate by itself in high humidity conditions.
Correction
Important:
The afterblow function should not be enabled until after the purpose and operation of it is explained
to your customer and they approve of the change. Once the afterblow function is enabled there are
no calibrations currently released to disable it.
Technicians are to reprogram the HVAC Control Module with an updated software calibration that
will enable the afterblow function. The new calibration will be released beginning with TIS satellite
data update version 2.0, which was made available February 5, 2006. The blower motor will turn on
approximately 10 minutes after the vehicle is shut off. The blower motor will run continuously for 10
minutes at a 30% duty cycle. The afterblow function will only activate if the air conditioning
compressor was engaged during conditions of high ambient temperature. If the vehicle is started
within 10 minutes of the last key off, the afterblow function from the previous key cycle will be
cancelled.
Technicians should not attempt to reprogram a vehicle with a Manual Temperature Control HVAC
system (RPO CJ3).
Technicians should perform this HVAC Control Module reprogram instead of installing the
Electronic Evaporator Dryer Module Kit referred to in the Air Conditioning Odor bulletin, Corporate
Bulletin Number 99-01-39-004A.

Recall - Tail/Stop Lamp Inspection/Replacement
Product Safety - Tail Lamps/Stop Lamps # 04087 - (Nov 16, 2004)
Models: 2004 Buick Rainier 2002-2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer, TrailBlazer EXT 2002-2004 GMC
Envoy, Envoy XL 2002-2004 Oldsmobile Bravada
Condition
General Motors has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain
2002-2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT, GMC Envoy and Envoy XL, Oldsmobile
Bravada, and 2004 Buick Rainier vehicles. In some of these vehicles, vibration and heat may
cause the tail lamp/stop lamp bulb to loosen in its socket. If this occurs, the bulb may flicker and
eventually become inoperative. The center high mounted stop lamp and turn signal functions are
not affected and will operate as designed. The loss of one or both of the tail lamp/stop lamps could
reduce the vehicle's visibility to following drivers and fail to warn others that the vehicle is braking
and/or is stopped, which could lead to a vehicle crash.
Correction
Dealers are to inspect the tail lamp/stop lamp assemblies, and if necessary, replace them.
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 2002-2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT, GMC Envoy and Envoy
XL, Oldsmobile Bravada, and 2004 Buick Rainier vehicles built within the VIN breakpoints shown.
Important:
Dealers should confirm vehicle eligibility through GMVIS (GM Vehicle Inquiry System) prior to
beginning recall repairs. [Not all vehicles within the above breakpoints may be involved.]

Subject:
Intermittent Hesitation, Stumble or Idle Stall after Soak, Harsh 1-2 Shift, Slipping 1-2 Shift Followed
by a Harsh Engagement (Reprogram PCM)
Models: 2002-2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer 2002-2003 GMC Envoy 2002-2003 Oldsmobile Bravada
with 4.2L Engine (VIN S - RPO LL8)
Condition
Some customers may comment on an intermittent hesitation/stumble or idle stall within minutes of
starting after the vehicle has been sitting for several hours. Additionally, some customers with a
2003 model year vehicle may comment on a harsh 1-2 shift or 1-2 slip shift that has a bump feeling
when 2nd gear engages.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the EVAP diagnostic test as it opens the purge valve for a few
seconds and then closes it to verify proper emission sensor operation. If the purge canister is
saturated, the EVAP system on-board diagnostic test may cause the vehicle to correct for a rich
condition from the canister. The vehicle would then become lean when the purge valve closes at
the completion of the test. This condition occurs primarily with high RVP fuel and after the vehicle
sits for several hours in a warm ambient, above 21°C (70°F). A customer who takes short trips is
more likely to experience this condition, as they don't have the drive cycle that would allow the
purge canister to fully re-circulate the fuel vapor.
Correction
For Hesitation, Stumble or Idle Stall:
Follow the SI diagnostics for the stall/stumble condition. If the result is no trouble found, then
reprogram the module with the latest calibration.
For Harsh or Slipping Shifts on 2003 Model Year vehicles:
Reprogram the module with the latest calibration.
The calibrations listed are electronic calibrations and are NOT available from GMSPO. Calibrations
will be available from Techline starting September 2003, on the TIS 2003 Disc 10.0 CD ROM.

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.

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

Information Bus: Description and Operation
DATA LINK COMMUNICATIONS DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The data link connector (DLC) allows a scan tool to communicate with the class 2 serial data line.
The serial data line is the means by which the microprocessor-controlled modules in the vehicle
communicate with each other. Once the scan tool is connected to the class 2 serial data line
through the DLC, the scan tool can be used to monitor each module for diagnostic purposes and to
check for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). Class 2 serial data is transmitted on a single wire at an
average of 10.4 kbps. This value is an average, class 2 uses a variable pulse width modulation to
carry data and depending on the message it may operate faster or slower. The bus will float at a
nominal 7.0 volts during normal operation. Each module can pull this lower during the transmission.
The bus is not at battery positive voltage or ground potential during normal operation. When the
ignition switch is in RUN, each module communicating on the class 2 serial data line sends a state
of health (SOH) message every 2 seconds to ensure that the module is operating properly. When a
module stops communicating on the class 2 serial data line, for example if the module loses power
or ground, the SOH message it normally sends on the data line every 2 seconds disappears. Other
modules on the class 2 serial data line, which expect to receive that SOH message, detect its
absence; those modules in turn set an internal DTC associated with the loss of SOH of the
non-communicating module. The DTC is unique to the module which is not communicating, for
example, when the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) SOH message
disappears, several modules set DTC U1088. Note that a loss of serial data DTC does not normally
represent a failure of the module that set it.
On some vehicles, if the PCM is unable to communicate with the VTD system after the vehicle has
started, the PCM will consider the VTD system to be malfunctioning. The PCM will enter a fail
enable state and will command the security indicator to illuminate. When the PCM is in a fail enable
state the vehicle will NOT stall or stop running. If the PCM is in a fail enable state when the ignition
is switched OFF, the PCM will remain fail enable until communications with the VTD system has
been restored. When the PCM is in a fail enable state the VTD system is NOT active and the
vehicle will start. This feature is NOT available on all GM vehicle lines.
DATA LINK CONNECTOR (DLC)
The data link connector (DLC) is a standardized 16 cavity connector. Connector design and
location is dictated by an industry wide standard, and is required to provide the following: Scan tool power battery positive voltage at terminal 16.
- Scan tool power ground at terminal 4.
- Class 2 serial data at terminal 2.
- Common signal ground at terminal 5.
CLASS 2 SERIAL DATA LINE
The class 2 serial data line on this vehicle is a star configuration. The PCM has an additional class
2 serial data circuit to BCM or to theft deterrent control module, if equipped. If one of the class 2
serial data circuits to the PCM opens, communication will not be interrupted. The following modules
communicate on the class 2 serial data line: The audio amplifier
- The body control module (BCM)
- The driver door module (DDM)
- The electronic brake control module (EBCM)
- The front passenger door control module (FPDM)
- The HVAC control module
- The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM)
- The instrument panel cluster (IPC)
- The liftgate control module (LGM)
- The memory seat module-driver, W/power seat
- The memory seat module-passenger, W/power seat
- The powertrain control module (PCM)
- The radio
- The RSA/HVAC control module-rear auxiliary
- The theft deterrent control module, for export
- The transfer case shift control module, W/4WD
- The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM), W/UE1
The class 2 serial data line allows a scan tool to communicate with these modules for testing
purposes, checking for DTCs, and to activate/enable/disable functions. These class 2 serial data
circuits are bussed together via two splice packs and a data link connector (DLC): SP205 - Located behind the I/P near the headlamp switch connector.
- SP306 - Located in the body harness near the rear of the right rear seat under the carpet.
- DLC - Connects the scan tool to the class 2 serial data circuits.
Refer to Data Link Communications Component Views.

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

When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200
frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not
lost if the Scan Tool is powered down.
The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis.
The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected
values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and
numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful,
especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC.

Lock Cylinder Switch: Description and Operation
IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER CASE, INCLUDING THE PASSLOCK(TM) SENSOR
The ignition lock cylinder fits inside the ignition lock cylinder case and operates the ignition switch
when turned by a key with the proper mechanical cut.
When the ignition key is used to turn the ignition lock cylinder to crank, start, a magnet on the lock
cylinder passes close to the Passlock(TM) Sensor within the ignition lock cylinder case. The
magnet activates the Security Hall Effect Sensor in the Passlock(TM) Sensor which completes a
circuit from the security sensor signal circuit through a resistor to the security sensor low reference
circuit. The resistance value will vary from vehicle to vehicle.
If a magnet from outside of the ignition lock cylinder case is used to attempt to steal the vehicle, the
Tamper Hall Effect Sensor will be activated. This completes a circuit from the security sensor signal
circuit through a tamper resistor to the security sensor low reference circuit bypassing the security
resistor. If the ignition switch is forced to rotate without the correct key, or if the ignition lock
cylinder is removed by force, the Passlock(TM) Sensor will be damaged and will not operate.

6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the
middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper
handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing:
- The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
- A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-C if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA
ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to
ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the
plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated
in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a
terminal for replacement.

1. Open the harness.
- If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
- To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
- If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire.
2. Cut the wire.
- Cut as little wire off the harness as possible.
- Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and
connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage.
3. Select the proper size and type of wire.
- The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link).
- The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating.

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

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
The supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system/supplemental restraint system (SRS) requires
special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific
procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system
terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.
The tool kit J 38125-C contains the following items:
- Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction Data
The sealed splices have the following 2 critical features:
- A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
- A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The J 38125-C also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items:
- A large sampling of common electrical terminals
- The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires
- The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-C. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.

Models: 2002-2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer 2002-2003 GMC Envoy 2002-2003 Oldsmobile Bravada
with 4.2L Engine (VIN S - RPO LL8)
Condition
Some customers may comment on an intermittent hesitation/stumble or idle stall within minutes of
starting after the vehicle has been sitting for several hours. Additionally, some customers with a
2003 model year vehicle may comment on a harsh 1-2 shift or 1-2 slip shift that has a bump feeling
when 2nd gear engages.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the EVAP diagnostic test as it opens the purge valve for a few
seconds and then closes it to verify proper emission sensor operation. If the purge canister is
saturated, the EVAP system on-board diagnostic test may cause the vehicle to correct for a rich
condition from the canister. The vehicle would then become lean when the purge valve closes at
the completion of the test. This condition occurs primarily with high RVP fuel and after the vehicle
sits for several hours in a warm ambient, above 21°C (70°F). A customer who takes short trips is
more likely to experience this condition, as they don't have the drive cycle that would allow the
purge canister to fully re-circulate the fuel vapor.
Correction
For Hesitation, Stumble or Idle Stall:
Follow the SI diagnostics for the stall/stumble condition. If the result is no trouble found, then
reprogram the module with the latest calibration.
For Harsh or Slipping Shifts on 2003 Model Year vehicles:
Reprogram the module with the latest calibration.
The calibrations listed are electronic calibrations and are NOT available from GMSPO. Calibrations
will be available from Techline starting September 2003, on the TIS 2003 Disc 10.0 CD ROM.

the transmission by dripping from the cowl area onto the handle of the transmission fluid level
indicator.
Indications of water in the ATF may include:
^ Visible rust on the transmission fluid level indicator.
^ Visible water in the oil pan.
^ A milky white substance inside the pan area.
^ Spacer plate gaskets that appear to be glued to the spacer plate, valve body or case.
^ Rust on internal transmission iron/steel components.
Important:
For vehicles suspected of having a leaking transmission oil cooler that would cause contamination
of the transmission fluid with coolant, the following check should be performed before deciding to
replace the radiator.
^ Remove the surge tank cap and examine the coolant for signs of contamination with transmission
fluid (the coolant will have a milky, not clear appearance).
^ If the coolant has a normal, clear appearance, the radiator should not be replaced.
The cooler can also be tested by following the Coolant System Leak Test procedure in the SI
Document. Do NOT replace a radiator without verifying that the transmission oil cooler is leaking.
Correction
First, repair the transmission and second, replace the transmission fill tube, seal and level indicator
to prevent repeat water contamination of the ATF.
Transmission Repair
1. Remove the transmission. Refer to the appropriate SI procedure.
2. Disassemble and inspect the transmission. Refer to Unit Repair Automatic Transmission 4L60-E/4L65-E.

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

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

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

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

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.

contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to
test the circuit in question.
Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6.
If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is
a short to ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2.
Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across
the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered).
- When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
- If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter
TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
The J 39200 instruction Data is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is
present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with
a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance
that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
- Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving.
- 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.

A Torque To Yield (TTY) bolt, like a cylinder head bolt or main bearing cap bolt, may break during
repair procedures. Interaction between a TTY bolt and threads may cause the bolt to bind or break
on removal.
Prior to removing the cylinder head or main cap bolts, perform the following procedure:
Using an appropriately sized punch and hammer, rap on the head of each bolt. The vibration
produced by this procedure will assist in successful removal.
If a head bolt or main bolt breaks during engine disassembly, a broken bolt extractor kit (EN-47702)
has been released to assist in removal of the remaining bolt segment. Many times the remaining
bolt segment will back out easily with a pick tool or a reverse twist drill bit.
Bolt Replacement & Tightening
Important:
Never reuse TTY main bearing or cylinder head bolts. Always make sure that the engine block
threaded holes are clean and do not place oil or threadlocker on the bolts.
Utilize a thread chase tool followed by cleaning with dry compressed air to insure threads are clean
and dry prior to installation of new TTY bolts. Bolts that creak and snap while tightening will fail due
to excessive torque caused by threads contaminated with debris, antifreeze or oil. Trace amounts
of oil or antifreeze will cause this condition. In extreme cases the threads may need additional
cleaning with a non-residue cleaner like a brake clean product followed by drying with clean & dry
compressed air.

Coolant: Description and Operation
Cooling System The cooling system's function is to maintain an efficient engine operating
temperature during all engine speeds and operating conditions. The cooling system is designed to
remove approximately 1/3 of the heat produced by the burning of the air-fuel mixture. When the
engine is cold, the coolant does not flow to the radiator until the thermostat opens. This allows the
engine to warm quickly.
Cooling Cycle Coolant is drawn from the radiator outlet and into the water pump inlet by the water
pump. Coolant will then be pumped through the water pump outlet and into the engine block. In the
engine block, the coolant circulates through the water jackets surrounding the cylinders, where the
coolant absorbs heat.
Some coolant is also pumped from the water pump to the heater core, then back to the water
pump. This provides the passenger compartment with heat and defrost.
The coolant is then forced through the cylinder head gasket openings and into the cylinder heads.
In the cylinder heads, the coolant flows through the water jackets surrounding the combustion
chambers and valve seats, where the coolant absorbs additional heat.
Coolant is also directed to the throttle body. There the coolant circulates through passages in the
casting. During initial start up, the coolant assists in warming the throttle body. During normal
operating temperatures, the coolant assists in keeping the throttle body cool.
From the cylinder heads, the coolant is then forced to the thermostat. The flow of coolant will either
be stopped at the thermostat until the engine is warmed, or the coolant will flow through the
thermostat and into the radiator where the coolant is cooled and the coolant cycle is completed.
Operation of the cooling system requires proper functioning of all cooling system components. The
cooling system consists of the following components, which are described below:
- The coolant
- The radiator
- The pressure cap
- The coolant recovery system
- The air baffles and seals
Coolant The engine coolant is a solution made up of a 50-50 mixture of DEX-COOL and suitable
drinking water. The coolant solution carries excess heat away from the engine to the radiator,
where the heat is dissipated to the atmosphere.

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

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.

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.

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

Alarm Module: Description and Operation
THEFT DETERRENT CONTROL MODULE
Vehicles with steering column mounted ignition switches have the exciter integral with the theft
deterrent control module which is located within the steering column. Vehicles with instrument
panel mounted ignition switches have exciter modules separate from the theft deterrent control
module with the vehicle wiring harness connecting the two. The theft deterrent control module for
vehicles with instrument panel mounted ignition switches is located within the instrument panel.
The theft deterrent control module can learn up to ten keys (transponder values).
The theft deterrent control module uses the following inputs, battery voltage, ignition switched
voltage and ground circuit. The theft deterrent control module uses the following outputs, password
exchange with the PCM, fuel enable/disable via the serial data circuit.
When an ignition key is inserted into the ignition lock cylinder and the ignition is switched ON, the
transponder embedded in the head of the key is energized by the exciter coils surrounding the
ignition lock cylinder. The energized transponder transmits a signal that contains its unique value,
which is received by the theft deterrent control module. The theft deterrent control module then
compares this value to a value stored in memory, learned key code. If the value is correct the theft
deterrent control module sends a random generated number to the transponder, this is called a
challenge. Both the transponder and the theft deterrent control module perform a calculation on the
challenge. The theft deterrent control module then performs one of the following functions:
- If both the transponder value and the calculation to the challenge are correct, the theft deterrent
control module will send the fuel continue password to the PCM via the serial data circuit.
- If either the transponders unique value or the calculation to the challenge is incorrect the theft
deterrent control module will send the fuel disable password to the PCM via the serial data circuit.
- If the theft deterrent control module is unable to measure the ignition key transponder value for
one second due to a damaged or missing pellet or a damaged exciter, the theft deterrent control
module will send the fuel disable password to the PCM via the serial data circuit.

The torque specification has changed for the fittings to case. The torque has changed from 38 Nm
(28 lb ft) to 32 Nm (23 lb ft).
Tighten
Tighten the new cooler fittings to 32 Nm (23 lb ft).
The converter drain back check ball (420C) has been removed from the cooler line fitting and is
now located in the channel plate.
If you get a concern of no movement in the morning or after sitting for several hours, the cooler
check ball should be inspected.
The best way to determine where the check ball is located is to look at the cooler line fittings. The
old fittings are different sizes (3/8-18 NPSF & 1/4-18 NPSF) and would contain the cooler check
ball. The new fittings are the same size as each other (9/16-18 UNF) and do not have a cooler
check ball.

This bulletin is being revised to provide new part number for 2002-2003 vehicles. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 04-06-04-003 (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
This bulletin provides information on two different conditions.
Condition 1
Some customers may comment that their vehicle is difficult to fill with fuel or when filling, the pump
continuously shuts off before the tank is full.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the variability (fuel flow rates, type of fuel fill nozzle, fuel
properties) at the filling stations. There is a potential to develop an increase in back pressures
internal to the fuel fill neck. This back pressure trips the fuel nozzle prior to filling the tank, or results
in a hard to fill condition.
Condition 2 Some customers may comment that when filling the fuel tank, a small amount of fuel
may spit back/out.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the equalization of pressure between the fuel tank and the fuel fill
neck that does not react quickly to the variance in the pressure when the fueling station fuel nozzle
trips off.
Correction
Replace the fuel tank filler upper pipe assembly with P/N 88983256 or P/N 15131043, and lower
hose assembly with P/N 15131046. The new upper pipe has been redesigned to provide smoother
flow conditions within the section and the lower hose has been redesigned to include a checking
feature. Use the procedure listed below.
1. Remove the fuel fill cap.

This bulletin is being revised to add the new part numbers for the Spark Plugs and Ignition Coils.
Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-06-04-048A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion
System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that, after severe weather that includes large amounts of rain in a
short period of time, the engine has a rough idle and/or flashing MIL/SES light. Upon further
investigation, there may be the following DTC(s): P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305 or
P0306.
This condition can be aggravated if the vehicle is parked nose down on an incline during this type
of weather. The customer may also comment on repeat occurrences of this condition because
water may be passing over the Air Intake Plenum (AIP).
Cause
The dripping rain water onto the engine cam cover will collect at the coil(s) and may seep past the
coil(s) into the spark plug(s) well of the cylinder head and may affect the operation of the spark
plug(s) and coil(s), causing the misfire(s).
Correction
Before replacing the AIP seal, refer to Misfire diagnostics in SI to determine if water intrusion was
the cause of the misfire.
Diagnostic Aids for Misfire
Refer to SI for Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine Noises.
If no trouble found (NTF) using SI document on Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine
Noises, then refer to SI for Misfire DTC(s).
If Misfire diagnostic leads to the removal of the coil(s) and spark plug(s), refer to the following SI
Documents:

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

Lubricant GM P/N 12377900 (Canadian P/N 10953529) to the threads of the M8 conductive bolt.
Note Fretting corrosion is a build-up of insulating, oxidized wear debris that can form when there is
a small motion between electrical contacts. The oxidized wear debris can accumulate at the
electrical contact points causing the electrical resistance across the connection to increase.
8. Carefully remove ANY corrosion or contamination that may be present on the electrical ground
wire terminal. 9. Install the electrical ground wire terminal and the M8 conductive bolt to the ground
location.
10. Select a M8 conductive nut. Refer to the Parts Information section of this bulletin. 11. Install the

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.

Condition
Some customers may comment about no cold air from the heating, ventilation and air conditioning
(HVAC) system during a drive cycle. This concern may occur at any time during the drive cycle and
at any temperature setting. The HVAC system operation returns to normal after the vehicle has
been keyed to off and restarted. This concern is intermittent and most likely to occur on hot days.
This concern may be found on vehicles equipped with manual (CJ3) and automatic (CJ2) HVAC
systems. Other customers may comment about poor HVAC system performance in high ambient
temperature conditions. This concern may be present in automatic (CJ2) HVAC systems only. An
HVAC control module software update was put into all production vehicles beginning in September
2002. Vehicles built in September 2002 and earlier may need this software update.
Correction
Update the HVAC control module using software available through GM Access beginning
September 9, 2002. The update will be fully available October 7, 2002 to all dealers on TIS 2000
CD version 10. This software update addresses both the intermittent no cooling and the poor
performance concerns. If the software update does not correct the concerns, perform the HVAC
Diagnostic System Check and repair as necessary. If the HVAC control module is replaced with a
part from GMSPO, make sure the module has the latest software update. The module may need to
be updated even though it is a new part.

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

other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below
in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable.
1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap
the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the
splice is made.
3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire.
Staggering the splices by 65 mm is recommended.
IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical
contact with the drain wire.
4. Re-assemble the cable.
- Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape.
- Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1).
- Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire.
- Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with mylar tape.

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

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

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

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

Some terminals do not require all of the steps shown. Skip the steps that do not apply for your
immediate terminal repair. The J 38125-C contains further information.
1. Cut off the terminal between the core and the insulation crimp. Minimize any wire loss.
For Weather Pack(R) terminals, remove the seal.
2. Apply the correct seal per gage size of the wire.
For Weather Pack(R) terminals, slide the seal back along the wire in order to enable insulation
removal.
3. Remove the insulation. 4. For Weather Pack(R) terminals only, align the seal with the end of the
cable insulation. 5. Position the strip in the terminal.
For Weather Pack(R) terminals, position the strip and seal in the terminal.
6. Hand crimp the core wings. 7. Hand crimp the insulation wings.
For Weather Pack(R) terminals, hand crimp the insulation wings around the seal and the cable.
8. Solder all of the hand crimp terminals.
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.

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

Camshaft Actuator System
Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Camshaft Actuator System
CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) ACTUATOR SYSTEM
The Camshaft Position Actuator system is used for a variety of engine performance enhancements.
These enhancements include lower emission output through exhaust gas recirculation control, a
wider engine torque range, improved gas millage, and improved engine idle stability. The CMP
Actuator system accomplishes this by controlling the amount of intake and exhaust valve overlap.
CMP ACTUATOR SYSTEM OPERATION
The CMP Actuator system is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM sends
a pulse width modulated 12 volt signal to a Camshaft Position (CMP) Actuator Solenoid in order to
control the amount of engine oil flow to a cam Phaser passage. There are two different passages
for oil to flow through, a passage for cam advance and a passage for cam retard. The Cam Phaser
is attached to a camshaft and is hydraulically operated in order to change the angle of the camshaft
relative to crankshaft position. Engine oil pressure, viscosity, temperature and engine oil level can
have an adverse affect on cam phaser performance. The PCM calculates the optimum cam
position through the following inputs: Engine Speed
- Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP)
- Throttle Position (TP) Indicated Angle
- Crankshaft Position (CKP)
- Camshaft Position (CMP)
- Engine Load.
- Barometric (BARO) Pressure
The Cam Phaser default position is 0 degrees. The PCM uses the following inputs before assuming
control of the cam phaser: Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
- Closed Loop Fuel Control
- Engine Oil Temperature
- Engine Oil Pressure
- Engine Oil Level
- CMP Actuator Solenoid circuit state
- Ignition 1 signal voltage
- Barometric (BARO) Pressure
CMP ACTUATOR SOLENOID CIRCUIT DIAGNOSTICS
The PCM monitors the control circuits of the CMP Actuator Solenoid for electrical faults. The PCM
has the ability to determine if a control circuit is open, shorted high, and shorted low. If the PCM
detects a fault with a CMP Actuator Solenoid circuit a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set.
CMP ACTUATOR SYSTEM PERFORMANCE DIAGNOSTICS
The PCM monitors the performance of the CMP Actuator system by monitoring the actual and
desired positions of a cam phaser. If the difference between the actual and desired position is more
than a calibrated angle for more than a calibrated amount of time, a DTC will set.

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.

6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the
middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper
handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing:
- The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
- A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-C if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA
ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to
ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the
plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated
in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a
terminal for replacement.

1. Open the harness.
- If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
- To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
- If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire.
2. Cut the wire.
- Cut as little wire off the harness as possible.
- Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and
connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage.
3. Select the proper size and type of wire.
- The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link).
- The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating.

Condition
Some customers may comment that the vehicle has no movement when the transmission is shifted
to DRIVE or THIRD position, but there is normal operation when it is shifted to SECOND, FIRST or
REVERSE position.
Cause
This condition may be caused by a damaged forward sprag assembly (642).
Correction
When inspecting the sprag, it is important to test the sprag for proper operation by holding the outer
race (644) with one hand while rotating the input sun gear (640) with the other hand. The sun gear
should rotate only in the counterclockwise direction with the input sun gear facing upward. If the
sprag rotates in both directions or will not rotate in either direction, the sprag elements should be
inspected by removing one of the sprag assembly retaining rings (643). Refer to SI Unit Repair
section for forward clutch sprag disassembly procedures.
If the sprag is found to be damaged, make repairs to the transmission as necessary. A new forward
roller clutch sprag assembly is now available from GMSPO.

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

Note The rivet stud and surrounding panel area MUST BE properly refinished PRIOR to the
installation of the ground wire terminal and conductive nut to maintain a secure, stable and
corrosion-free electrical ground.
10. Refinish the repair area using an anti-corrosion primer. Refer to Anti-Corrosion Treatment and
Repair in SI. 11. Allow the refinished repair area to cure sufficiently before removing the protective
material applied to the rivet stud threads. 12. Remove the painters tape or equivalent from the rivet
stud threads. 13. Using GM approved residue-free solvent or equivalent, thoroughly clean the rivet
stud threads to remove any adhesive and allow to dry. 14. Using a small brush, apply Dielectric
Lubricant GM P/N 12377900 (Canadian P/N 10953529) to the threads of the M6 conductive rivet
stud.
Note Fretting corrosion is a build-up of insulating, oxidized wear debris that can form when there is
a small motion between electrical contacts. The oxidized wear debris can accumulate at the
electrical contact points causing the electrical resistance across the connection to increase.

If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-C. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure
if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
- Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
- Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
- When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
- Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
- Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
- If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

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.

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

Door Switch: Description and Operation
DOOR AJAR SWITCHES
The CTD system uses the rear door ajar switches in the door lock assemblies as one method to
activate the alarm. The body control module (BCM) monitors rear door ajar switches via a discrete
input from each rear passenger door ajar switch, if the BCM receives a ground signal from a rear
passenger door ajar switch when the CTD system is armed, the BCM activates the alarm.
The CTD system uses the LH front door ajar switch as one method to activate the alarm. The driver
door module (DDM) monitors the LH door ajar switch via a discreet input from the door ajar switch,
if the DDM receives a ground signal from the LH door ajar switch when the CTD system is armed
the message is communicated through the serial data circuit to the BCM and the alarm is activated.
The CTD system uses the RH front door ajar switch as one method to activate the alarm. The
passenger door module (PDM) monitors the RH door ajar switch via a discreet input from the door
ajar switch, if the PDM receives a ground signal from the RH door ajar switch when the CTD
system is armed the message is communicated through the serial data circuit to the BCM and the
alarm is activated.
The CTD system uses the rear compartment liftgate/liftglass ajar switchs as one method to activate
the alarm. The liftgate module (LGM) monitors the liftgate and liftglass ajar switch via a discreet
input from the ajar switch, if the LGM receives a ground signal from the liftgate or liftglass ajar
switch when the CTD system is armed the message is communicated through the serial data circuit
to the BCM and the alarm is activated.

Ambient Temperature Sensor / Switch HVAC: Description and Operation
AIR TEMPERATURE SENSORS
The air temperature sensors are a 2 wire negative temperature co-efficient thermistor. The vehicle
uses the following air temperature sensors: Ambient Air Temperature Sensor
- Inside Air Temperature Sensor Assembly
- Upper Left Air Temperature Sensor
- Upper Right Air Temperature Sensor
- Lower Left Air Temperature Sensor
- Lower Right Air Temperature Sensor
A signal and low reference circuit enables the sensor to operate. As the air temperature
surrounding the sensor increases, the sensor resistance decreases. The sensor signal voltage
decreases as the resistance decreases. The sensor operates within a temperature range between
-40°C (-40°F) to 101°C (215°F). The sensor signal varies between 0-5 volts.
The input of the duct air temperature sensors are different from the ambient and inside sensors.
The HVAC control module converts the signal to a range between 0-255 counts. As the air
temperature increases the count value will decrease.
If the HVAC control module detects a malfunctioning sensor, then the control module software will
use a defaulted air temperature value. The default value for the ambient and inside air temperature
sensors will be displayed on the scan tool. The default value for the duct air temperature sensors
will not be displayed on the scan tool. The scan tool parameter for the duct air temperature sensors
are the actual state of the signal circuit. The default action ensures that the HVAC system can
adjust the inside air temperature near the desired temperature until the condition is corrected.
The ambient air temperature sensor mounts underhood and can be affected by city traffic, by idling,
and by restarting a hot engine. Therefore, the HVAC control module filters the value of the ambient
air temperature sensor for temperature display. The ambient air temperature value is updated
under the following conditions:
The scan tool has the ability to update the displayed ambient air temperature. To update the
ambient air temperature display on the HVAC control module, perform the following procedure:
Simultaneously press the MODE, FRONT DEFROST and REAR DEFROST switches. 1. Turn ON
the ignition. 2. Simultaneously press the MODE, FRONT DEFROST and REAR DEFROST
switches.
Page 10488
OnStar(R) Microphone
The OnStar(R), or cellular microphone, can be a part of the rearview mirror assembly, or on some
vehicle lines, a separate, stand alone unit.
In either case, the VCIM supplies approximately 10 volts to the microphone on the cellular
microphone signal circuit, and voice data from the user is sent back to the VCIM over the same
circuit. A cellular microphone low reference circuit or a drain wire provides a ground for the
microphone.
Cellular and GPS Antennas
The vehicle will be equipped with one of the following types of antennas:
^ Separate, stand-alone cellular and navigation (GPS) antennas.
^ A combination cellular and navigation (GPS) antenna, which brings the functions of both into a
single part.
^ A cellular, GPS, and digital radio receiver (DRR) antenna, which also incorporates the
functionality of the DRR satellite antenna (XM).
The cellular antenna is the component that allows the OnStar(R) system to send and receive data
using electromagnetic waves by means of cellular technology. The antenna is connected at the
base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM.
The GPS antenna is used to collect the signals of the orbiting GPS satellites. Within the antenna is
housed a low noise amplifier that allows for a more broad and precise reception of this data. The
antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The cable also
provides a path for DC current for powering the antenna.
The OnStar(R) Call Center also has the capability of communicating with the vehicle during an
OnStar(R) call to retrieve the latest GPS location and transmit it to the OnStar(R) Call Center. A
history location of the last recorded position of the vehicle is stored in the module and marked as
aged, for as long as the module power is not removed. Actual GPS location may take up to 10
minutes to register in the event of a loss of power.
Audio System Interface
When the OnStar(R) requires audio output, a serial data message is sent to the audio system to
mute all radio functions and transmit OnStar(R) originated audio. The OnStar(R) audio is
transmitted to the vehicle audio system by a dedicated signal circuit and a low reference circuit.
The audio system will mute and an audible ring will be heard though the speakers if the vehicle
receives a call with the radio ON.
On some vehicles, the HVAC blower speed may be reduced when the OnStar(R) system is active
to aid in reducing interior noise. When the system is no longer active, the blower speed will return
to its previous setting.
OnStar(R) Steering Wheel Controls
Some vehicles may have a button on the steering wheel, that when pushed can engage the
OnStar(R) system. The button may be a symbol of a face with sound waves, or may say MUTE, or
be a symbol of a radio speaker with a slash through it.
By engaging the OnStar(R) system with this feature, the user can interact with the system by use of
voice commands. A complete list of these commands is supplied in the information provided to the
customer. If the information is not available for reference, at any command prompt, the user can
say "HELP" and the VCIM will return an audible list of available commands.
The steering wheel controls consist of multiple momentary contact switches and a resistor network.
The switches and resistor network are arranged so that each switch has a different resistance
value. When a switch is pressed, a voltage drop occurs in the resistor network. This produces a
specific voltage value unique to the switch selected, to be interpreted by the radio or the body
control module (BCM).
OnStar(R) Power Moding (DRX or Sleep Cycle)
The OnStar(R) system uses a unique sleep cycle to allow the system to receive cellular calls while
the ignition is in the OFF position and retained accessory power (RAP) mode has ended.
A green status LED on the OnStar(R) keypad normally indicates an active OnStar(R) account. The
OnStar(R) system will stay powered up after ignition off for an extended time in order to allow for
remote services like door unlock, horn honk, light flash, etcetera to take place as requested by the
customer. Power cycle (also referred to as DRX) times vary depending on the generation of the
OnStar(R) system. Technicians may identify the OnStar(R) system generation by using a Tech 2
and following this menu path: (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by
accessing www.onstarenrollment.com
All Generation 6 digital systems are powered up continuously for 48 hours from ignition OFF. After
48 hours, the Generation 6 systems will enter a 9 minute OFF, 1 minute ON power cycle for an
additional 72 hours. At the beginning and end of the 1 minute ON stage, you may or may not
experience a short spike of current at the beginning and at the end. This allows for calls from
OnStar to be received by the system. After 120 hours from ignition OFF,

Fuel Gauge Sender: Description and Operation
Fuel Level Sensor
The fuel level sensor consists of a float, a wire float arm, and a ceramic resistor card. The position
of the float arm indicates the fuel level. The fuel level sensor contains a variable resistor which
changes resistance in correspondence with the position of the float arm. The control module sends
the fuel level information via the Class 2 circuit to the instrument panel cluster (IPC). This
information is used for the IPC fuel gage and the low fuel warning indicator, if applicable. The
control module also monitors the fuel level input for various diagnostics.

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.

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

2007 Model Year Vehicles and Newer all have Digital OnStar(R) Modules.
Part 1
OnStar(R) Description and Operation
This OnStar(R) digital system consists of the following components:
^ Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
^ OnStar(R) button assembly
^ Microphone
^ Cellular antenna
^ Navigation antenna
Note
This system also interfaces with the factory installed vehicle audio system.
Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) is a cellular device that allows the user to
communicate data and voice signals over the national cellular network. Power is provided by a
dedicated, fused B+ circuit. Ground is provided through the vehicle wiring harness attached to the
module. The ignition state is determined by the VCIM through serial data messaging.
Dedicated circuits are used to connect the VCIM to a microphone, the button assembly, and to
command the status LED. The VCIM communicates with the rest of the vehicle modules using the
serial data bus.
The module houses 2 technology systems, one to process GPS data, and another for cellular
information. The cellular system connects the OnStar(R) system to the cellular carrier's
communication system by interacting with the national cellular infrastructure. The module sends
and receives all cellular communications over the cellular antenna and cellular antenna coax. GPS
satellites orbiting earth are constantly transmitting signals of their current location. The OnStar(R)
system uses the GPS signals to provide location on demand.
The module also has the capability of activating the horn, initiating door lock/unlock, or activating
the exterior lamps using the serial data circuits. These functions can be commanded by the
OnStar(R) Call Center per: a customer request.
OnStar(R) Button Assembly
The OnStar(R) button assembly may be part of the rearview mirror, or a separate, stand alone unit.
The button assembly is comprised of 3 buttons and a status LED. The buttons are defined as
follows:
^ The answer/end call button, which is black with a white phone icon, allows the user to answer
and end calls or initiate speech recognition.
^ The blue OnStar(R) call center button, which displays the OnStar(R) logo, allows the user to
connect to the OnStar(R) call center.
^ The emergency button, which displays a white cross with a red background, sends a high priority
emergency call to the OnStar(R) call center when pressed.
The VCIM supplies 10 volts to the OnStar(R) button assembly on the keypad supply voltage circuit.
When pressed, each button completes a circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be
returned to the VCIM on the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned the
VCIM is able to identify which button has been pressed.
The OnStar(R) status LED is located with the button assembly. The LED is green when the system
is ON and operating normally. When the status LED is green and flashing, it is an indication that a
call is in progress. When the LED is red, this indicates a system malfunction is present. In the event
there is a system malfunction and the OnStar(R) system is still able to make a call, the LED will
flash red during the call.
If the LED does not illuminate, this may indicate that the customers OnStar(R) subscription is not
active or has expired. Push the blue OnStar button to connect to an advisor who can then verify the
account status.
Each LED is controlled by the VCIM over dedicated LED signal circuits. Ground for the LED is
provided by the wiring harness attached to the button assembly.

Number 05-03-10-020B (Section 03 - Suspension).
GM's Position on the Use of Nitrogen Gas in Tires
General Motors does not oppose the use of purified nitrogen as an inflation gas for tires. We expect
the theoretical benefits to be reduced in practical use due to the lack of an existing infrastructure to
continuously facilitate inflating tires with nearly pure nitrogen. Even occasional inflation with
compressed atmospheric air will negate many of the theoretical benefits. Given those theoretical
benefits, practical limitations, and the robust design of GM original equipment TPC tires, the
realized benefits to our customer of inflating their tires with purified nitrogen are expected to be
minimal.
The Promise of Nitrogen: Under Controlled Conditions
Recently, nitrogen gas (for use in inflating tires) has become available to the general consumer
through some retailers. The use of nitrogen gas to inflate tires is a technology used in automobile
racing. The following benefits under controlled conditions are attributed to nitrogen gas and its
unique properties:
- A reduction in the expected loss of Tire Pressure over time.
- A reduction in the variance of Tire Pressures with temperature changes due to reduction of water
vapor concentration.
- A reduction of long term rubber degradation due to a decrease in oxygen concentrations.
Important These are obtainable performance improvements when relatively pure nitrogen gas is
used to inflate tires under controlled conditions.
The Promise of Nitrogen: Real World Use
Nitrogen inflation can provide some benefit by reducing gas migration (pressure loss) at the
molecular level through the tire structure. NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration)
has stated that the inflation pressure loss of tires can be up to 5% a month. Nitrogen molecules are
larger than oxygen molecules and, therefore, are less prone to "seeping" through the tire casing.
The actual obtainable benefits of nitrogen vary, based on the physical construction and the
materials used in the manufacturing of the tire being inflated.
Another potential benefit of nitrogen is the reduced oxidation of tire components. Research has
demonstrated that oxygen consumed in the oxidation process of the tire primarily comes from the
inflation media. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that oxidation of tire components can be
reduced if the tire is inflated with pure nitrogen. However, only very small amounts of oxygen are
required to begin the normal oxidation process. Even slight contamination of the tire inflation gas
with compressed atmospheric air during normal inflation pressure maintenance, may negate the
benefits of using nitrogen.
GM Tire Quality, Technology and Focus of Importance
Since 1972, General Motors has designed tires under the TPC (Tire Performance Criteria)
specification system, which includes specific requirements that ensure robust tire performance
under normal usage. General Motors works with tire suppliers to design and manufacture original
equipment tires for GM vehicles. The GM TPC addresses required performance with respect to
both inflation pressure retention, and endurance properties for original equipment tires. The
inflation pressure retention requirements address availability of oxygen and oxidation concerns,
while endurance requirements ensure the mechanical structure of the tire has sufficient strength.
This combination has provided our customers with tires that maintain their structural integrity
throughout their useful treadlife under normal operating conditions.
Regardless of the inflation media for tires (atmospheric air or nitrogen), inflation pressure
maintenance of tires is critical for overall tire, and ultimately, vehicle performance. Maintaining the
correct inflation pressure allows the tire to perform as intended by the vehicle manufacturer in
many areas, including comfort, fuel economy, stopping distance, cornering, traction, treadwear,
and noise. Since the load carrying capability of a tire is related to inflation pressure, proper inflation
pressure maintenance is necessary for the tire to support the load imposed by the vehicle without
excessive structural

When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200
frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not
lost if the Scan Tool is powered down.
The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis.
The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected
values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and
numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful,
especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC.
Testing For a Short To Voltage
TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to
1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4.
Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.

Oil Viscosity
Engine Oil: Description and Operation Oil Viscosity
ENGINE OIL VISCOSITY, UNITED STATES AND CANADA
NOTICE: Using oils of any viscosity other than those recommended could result in engine damage.
When choosing an oil, consider the range of temperatures the vehicle will be operated in before the
next oil change. Then, select the recommended oil viscosity.
SAE 5W-30 is the only viscosity grade recommended for your vehicle. Use only oils which have the
API Starburst symbol and which are also identified as SAE 5W-30. If the temperature range
is-18°F( 0°C) or above SAE 10W-30 oil which has the API Starbust symbol is acceptable if SAE
5W 30 oils is not available. Areas where the temperature falls below -29°F (-20°C), either an SAE
5W-30 synthetic oil or and SAE 0W-30 oil is recommended. Both will provide easier cold starting
and better protection for the engine at extremely low temperatures. Do not use other viscosity
grade oils, such as SAE 10W-40 or SAE 20W-50 under any conditions. SAE 5W-30 is the
recommended engine oil viscosity. Engine oil viscosity thickness has an effect on the fuel economy
and the cold-weather operation engine starting and oil flow. Lower viscosity engine oils can provide
better fuel economy and cold-weather performance. However, higher temperature weather
conditions require higher viscosity engine oils for satisfactory lubrication. When the temperature is
consistently above -18°C (0°F), 10W-30 may be used. SAE 20W-50 or oils of other viscosity rating
or quality designations are NOT recommended for use in any GMC vehicle at any time.
ENGINE OIL QUALITY AND VISCOSITY (OTHER THAN THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA)
NOTICE: Using oils of any viscosity other than those recommended could result in engine damage.
When choosing an oil, consider the range of temperatures the vehicle will be operated in before the
next oil change. Then, select the recommended oil viscosity.

Tires: Diagrams
Tire Rotation
In order to equalize wear, rotate the tires at the specified intervals. In addition to scheduled
rotation, rotate the tire and wheel assembly whenever you notice uneven tire wear. Radial tires
tend to wear faster in the shoulder area, particularly in front positions, due to design. Radial tires in
non-drive locations may develop an irregular wear pattern that can generate tire noise. This
especially makes regular tire rotation necessary.
- For vehicles with single rear wheels (four tires), rotate the tires as shown.
- For vehicles with single rear wheels (five tires), rotate the tires as shown.
- For vehicles with dual rear wheels (same tire sizes and load ranges), rotate the tires as shown.

Coolant: Description and Operation
Cooling System The cooling system's function is to maintain an efficient engine operating
temperature during all engine speeds and operating conditions. The cooling system is designed to
remove approximately 1/3 of the heat produced by the burning of the air-fuel mixture. When the
engine is cold, the coolant does not flow to the radiator until the thermostat opens. This allows the
engine to warm quickly.
Cooling Cycle Coolant is drawn from the radiator outlet and into the water pump inlet by the water
pump. Coolant will then be pumped through the water pump outlet and into the engine block. In the
engine block, the coolant circulates through the water jackets surrounding the cylinders, where the
coolant absorbs heat.
Some coolant is also pumped from the water pump to the heater core, then back to the water
pump. This provides the passenger compartment with heat and defrost.
The coolant is then forced through the cylinder head gasket openings and into the cylinder heads.
In the cylinder heads, the coolant flows through the water jackets surrounding the combustion
chambers and valve seats, where the coolant absorbs additional heat.
Coolant is also directed to the throttle body. There the coolant circulates through passages in the
casting. During initial start up, the coolant assists in warming the throttle body. During normal
operating temperatures, the coolant assists in keeping the throttle body cool.
From the cylinder heads, the coolant is then forced to the thermostat. The flow of coolant will either
be stopped at the thermostat until the engine is warmed, or the coolant will flow through the
thermostat and into the radiator where the coolant is cooled and the coolant cycle is completed.
Operation of the cooling system requires proper functioning of all cooling system components. The
cooling system consists of the following components, which are described below:
- The coolant
- The radiator
- The pressure cap
- The coolant recovery system
- The air baffles and seals
Coolant The engine coolant is a solution made up of a 50-50 mixture of DEX-COOL and suitable
drinking water. The coolant solution carries excess heat away from the engine to the radiator,
where the heat is dissipated to the atmosphere.

6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the
middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper
handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing:
- The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
- A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-C if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA
ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to
ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the
plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated
in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a
terminal for replacement.

SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS
IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and
seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves.
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
1. Open the harness.
- If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
- To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
- If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire.
2. Cut the wire.
- Cut as little wire off the harness as possible.
- Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and
connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage.
3. Select the proper size and type of wire.
- The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link).
- The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating.
Page 6980
Fuse Block - Underhood C4 Part 2
Page 12804
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-C. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure
if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
- Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
- Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
- When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
- Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
- Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
- If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

The purpose of this bulletin is to inform technicians of a windrush that may occur when the luggage
carrier cross rails are out of position.
Experience has shown that some customers may comment on windnoise generated by the
presence of luggage carrier (roof rack) cross rails. The disturbance becomes more noticeable as
the cross rails are placed in positions over the driver and passenger seating areas.
The optimal installation locations of the cross rails to minimize wind disturbance are with the front
cross rail positioned in line with the rear edge of the rear door, and the rear cross rail positioned
50.8 mm (2 in) forward of the rear edge of the side rail. Vehicles ordered with production installed
will be placed in these locations.
Luggage carrier cross rails for a GMC Envoy XUV are a Regular Production Accessory and will be
received at your dealership separately for your installation prior to delivery.
Please use these same cross rail positions when all luggage carrier cross rails are installed during
your pre-delivery inspection (PDI) process.
^ Pull up on the lever on each side of the cross rail.
^ Place the front cross rail in line with the rear edge of the door and push down on the lever to lock
it in place. Refer to the illustration above.

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
The supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system/supplemental restraint system (SRS) requires
special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific
procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system
terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.
The tool kit J 38125-C contains the following items:
- Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction Data
The sealed splices have the following 2 critical features:
- A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
- A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The J 38125-C also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items:
- A large sampling of common electrical terminals
- The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires
- The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-C. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate

Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
- Wiring broken inside the insulation
- Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector.
- Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter, improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the
connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor
terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-C or the J 38125-4 Instruction Data for terminal identification.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2.
Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or
green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J 38125-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

^ If the brake pipe does NOT have the tooling mark (2), proceed to the next step of the inspection.
6. Clean and remove any dirt from the left front brake pipe and flare nut (3) where it connects to the
ABS modulator under the vehicle. The left front pipe is on the top row and closest to the center of
the vehicle.
7. Carefully inspect the brake pipe where the pipe goes into the flare nut for the same type of
tooling mark (1) as shown above. The mark may be located at any point around the circumference
of the pipe and a mirror flashlight may be required to see it. There will NOT be any of the spiral
lines or grooves (2) in the tooling mark.
^ If the tooling mark IS present, then the brake pipe does NOT need to be replaced. Lower the
vehicle and install the GM Recall Identification Label.
^ If the tooling mark is NOT present, then the brake pipe must be replaced. Proceed to the
Replacement procedure, below.
Replacement Procedure
This replacement procedure should only be performed if the results of the Inspection procedure
indicated that the brake pipe needed to be replaced. Bleeding of the hydraulic system is done using
a pressure bleeder and is limited to the left front brake. This pressure bleeding procedure is a
shortened version of the full vehicle procedure found in the Service Manual. As a result, the labor
time included in this recall for bleeding the brake system is less.
Important
To avoid unnecessary brake fluid loss, have the new brake pipe ready to install before you begin
removing the old pipe.
1. Disconnect the brake pipe (1) from the left front caliper brake hose fitting.
2. From underneath the vehicle, disconnect the other end of the brake pipe (1) from the ABS
modulator located on the inboard side of the left frame rail.

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

6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the
middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper
handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing:
- The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
- A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-C if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA
ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to
ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the
plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated
in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a
terminal for replacement.

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

2007 Model Year Vehicles and Newer all have Digital OnStar(R) Modules.
Part 1
OnStar(R) Description and Operation
This OnStar(R) digital system consists of the following components:
^ Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
^ OnStar(R) button assembly
^ Microphone
^ Cellular antenna
^ Navigation antenna
Note
This system also interfaces with the factory installed vehicle audio system.
Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) is a cellular device that allows the user to
communicate data and voice signals over the national cellular network. Power is provided by a
dedicated, fused B+ circuit. Ground is provided through the vehicle wiring harness attached to the
module. The ignition state is determined by the VCIM through serial data messaging.
Dedicated circuits are used to connect the VCIM to a microphone, the button assembly, and to
command the status LED. The VCIM communicates with the rest of the vehicle modules using the
serial data bus.
The module houses 2 technology systems, one to process GPS data, and another for cellular
information. The cellular system connects the OnStar(R) system to the cellular carrier's
communication system by interacting with the national cellular infrastructure. The module sends
and receives all cellular communications over the cellular antenna and cellular antenna coax. GPS
satellites orbiting earth are constantly transmitting signals of their current location. The OnStar(R)
system uses the GPS signals to provide location on demand.
The module also has the capability of activating the horn, initiating door lock/unlock, or activating
the exterior lamps using the serial data circuits. These functions can be commanded by the
OnStar(R) Call Center per: a customer request.
OnStar(R) Button Assembly
The OnStar(R) button assembly may be part of the rearview mirror, or a separate, stand alone unit.
The button assembly is comprised of 3 buttons and a status LED. The buttons are defined as
follows:
^ The answer/end call button, which is black with a white phone icon, allows the user to answer
and end calls or initiate speech recognition.
^ The blue OnStar(R) call center button, which displays the OnStar(R) logo, allows the user to
connect to the OnStar(R) call center.
^ The emergency button, which displays a white cross with a red background, sends a high priority
emergency call to the OnStar(R) call center when pressed.
The VCIM supplies 10 volts to the OnStar(R) button assembly on the keypad supply voltage circuit.
When pressed, each button completes a circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be
returned to the VCIM on the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned the
VCIM is able to identify which button has been pressed.
The OnStar(R) status LED is located with the button assembly. The LED is green when the system
is ON and operating normally. When the status LED is green and flashing, it is an indication that a
call is in progress. When the LED is red, this indicates a system malfunction is present. In the event
there is a system malfunction and the OnStar(R) system is still able to make a call, the LED will
flash red during the call.
If the LED does not illuminate, this may indicate that the customers OnStar(R) subscription is not
active or has expired. Push the blue OnStar button to connect to an advisor who can then verify the
account status.
Each LED is controlled by the VCIM over dedicated LED signal circuits. Ground for the LED is
provided by the wiring harness attached to the button assembly.
Engine Controls - Hesitation/Stall/Harsh A/T Upshifts
Control Module: Customer Interest Engine Controls - Hesitation/Stall/Harsh A/T Upshifts
Bulletin No.: 03-06-04-057
Date: October 01, 2003
TECHNICAL
Subject:
Intermittent Hesitation, Stumble or Idle Stall after Soak, Harsh 1-2 Shift, Slipping 1-2 Shift Followed
by a Harsh Engagement (Reprogram PCM)
Models: 2002-2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer 2002-2003 GMC Envoy 2002-2003 Oldsmobile Bravada
with 4.2L Engine (VIN S - RPO LL8)
Condition
Some customers may comment on an intermittent hesitation/stumble or idle stall within minutes of
starting after the vehicle has been sitting for several hours. Additionally, some customers with a
2003 model year vehicle may comment on a harsh 1-2 shift or 1-2 slip shift that has a bump feeling
when 2nd gear engages.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the EVAP diagnostic test as it opens the purge valve for a few
seconds and then closes it to verify proper emission sensor operation. If the purge canister is
saturated, the EVAP system on-board diagnostic test may cause the vehicle to correct for a rich
condition from the canister. The vehicle would then become lean when the purge valve closes at
the completion of the test. This condition occurs primarily with high RVP fuel and after the vehicle
sits for several hours in a warm ambient, above 21°C (70°F). A customer who takes short trips is
more likely to experience this condition, as they don't have the drive cycle that would allow the
purge canister to fully re-circulate the fuel vapor.
Correction
For Hesitation, Stumble or Idle Stall:
Follow the SI diagnostics for the stall/stumble condition. If the result is no trouble found, then
reprogram the module with the latest calibration.
For Harsh or Slipping Shifts on 2003 Model Year vehicles:
Reprogram the module with the latest calibration.
The calibrations listed are electronic calibrations and are NOT available from GMSPO. Calibrations
will be available from Techline starting September 2003, on the TIS 2003 Disc 10.0 CD ROM.

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
The supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system/supplemental restraint system (SRS) requires
special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific
procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system
terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.
The tool kit J 38125-C contains the following items:
- Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction Data
The sealed splices have the following 2 critical features:
- A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
- A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The J 38125-C also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items:
- A large sampling of common electrical terminals
- The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires
- The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-C. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.

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

contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to
test the circuit in question.
Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6.
If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is
a short to ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2.
Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across
the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered).
- When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
- If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter
TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
The J 39200 instruction Data is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is
present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with
a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance
that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
- Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving.
- 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.

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

Chips or debris plugging the bleed orifice of the 2-3 shift solenoid (367). This will cause the
transmission to stay in 2nd gear when 3rd gear is commanded and return to 1st gear when 4th
gear is commanded.
A 2-3 shift valve (368) or 2-3 shuttle valve (369) that is stuck, restricted and/or hung-up in its bore.
This condition may also be an indication of a damaged 2-4 band or 3-4 clutches. This clutch
damage may generate debris causing the 2-3 shift valve line-up to stick in the valve body bore and
set DTC P0757.
Correction
Inspect the condition of the transmission fluid for signs of overheat or a burnt odor. If either is
noted, the transmission should be disassembled for further investigation and repaired as needed.
Inspect the inside of the oil pan for signs of clutch friction material. A small amount of friction
material in the bottom of the pan is normal. If a large amount of clutch material is noted in the fluid
or bottom pan, the transmission should be disassembled for further investigation and repaired as
needed.
Inspect and clean the 2-3 shift valve (368), the 2-3 shuttle valve (369) and the valve bore of
debris/metal chips.
Inspect and clean the 2-3 shift solenoid (367B) opening of debris/metal chips. While inspecting the
2-3 shift solenoid (367B), look for a screen over the solenoid opening. If the solenoid DOES NOT
have a screen, replace the solenoid. All current GMSPO stock shift solenoids have a screen over
the solenoid opening.
If clutch debris is found, it is also very important to inspect the pressure control (PC) solenoid valve
fluid screens. Clean or replace the PC solenoid as necessary. It is also important to flush and flow
check the transmission oil cooler using J 45096. Refer to SI "Automatic Transmission Oil Cooler
Flushing and Flow Test" for the procedure.
Refer to the appropriate Service Manual for additional diagnostic information and service
procedures.

Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6.
If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is
a short to ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2.
Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across
the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered).
- When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
- If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter
TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
The J 39200 instruction Data is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is
present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with
a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance
that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
- Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving.
- Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a
component or to other harnesses.
- If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used in
order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.

Drive Belt Squeal Diagnosis
Test Description The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.
2. The noise may not be engine related. This step is to verify that the engine is making the noise. If
the engine is not making the noise do not proceed
further with this table
3. The noise may be an internal engine noise. Removing the drive belt and operating the engine for
a brief period will verify the squeal noise is the
drive belt(s) or an accessory drive component. When removing the drive belt the water pump may
not be operating and the engine may overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating
with the drive belt removed.
4. This test is to verify that an accessory drive component does not have a seized bearing. With the
belt remove test the bearings in the accessory
drive components for turning smoothly. Also test the accessory drive components with the engine
operating by varying the load on the components to verify that the components operate properly.
5. This test is to verify that the drive belt tensioner operates properly. If the drive belt tensioner is
not operating properly, proper belt tension may not
be achieved to keep the drive belt from slipping which could cause a squeal noise.
6. This test is to verify that the drive belt(s) is not too long, which would prevent the drive belt
tensioner from working properly. Also if an incorrect
length drive belt was installed, it may not be routed properly and may be turning an accessory drive
component in the wrong direction.
7. Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from improper mounting of the accessory drive
component, incorrect installation of the accessory drive
component pulley, or the pulley bent inward or outward from a previous repair. Test for a misalign
pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across two or three pulleys. If a misalign pulley is
found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation procedure for that pulley.
8. This test is to verify that the pulleys are the correct diameter or width. Using a known good
vehicle compare the pulley sizes.
Drive Belt Vibration
Drive Belt Vibration Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids The accessory drive components can have an affect on engine vibration. Such as
but not limited to the A/C system over charged, the power steering system restricted or the
incorrect fluid, or an extra load on the generator. To help identify an intermittent or an improper
condition, vary the loads on the accessory drive components.

Part 2
Conditions for Running the DTC
Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range of 9 - 16 volts.
DTCs B1327, B1328, U1300, U1301, U1305 are not set as current.
The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A message containing a critical operating parameter has not been received within the last 5
seconds after establishing class 2 serial data communication.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The module uses a default value for the missing parameter.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a
repeat of the malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
When a malfunction such as an open fuse to a module occurs while modules are communicating, a
DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is set current. When the modules stop
communicating the current DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is cleared but the
history DTC remains. When the modules begin to communicate again, the module with the open
fuse will not be learned by the other modules so U1000 or U1255 is set current by the other
modules. If the malfunction occurs when the modules are not communicating, only U1000 or
U1255 is set.

PARK, TAIL, MARKER, LICENSE, AND CLEARANCE LAMPS
The park, tail, marker, license, and clearance (Y92 only) lamps are turned on when the headlamp
switch is placed in the PARK or ON position or anytime the headlights are requested. The I/P BATT
fuse in the engine wiring harness junction block supplies battery positive voltage to both the park
lamp relay switch contacts and the park lamp coil circuit. The body control module (BCM) provides
a ground or control circuit to the park lamp relay coil circuit. When the park lamps are turned on,
the BCM energizes the park lamp relay. Current flow is from the park lamp relay to the individual
park lamp circuit fuses and to their respective park, tail, marker, and license lamps. The front park
and marker lamps are grounded at G107 and G103. The tail lamps are grounded at G401 and
G402. The license lamps are grounded at G401. When equipped with the Y92 roof rack option, the
clearance lamps are grounded at G302. If the driver places the headlight switch in the ON position
after the ignition switch has been turned OFF, the park, tail, marker, license, and clearance lamps
will remain on until turned off or the battery runs dead.
The T PARK fuse in the rear fuse-relay block supplies battery positive voltage to a separate park
lamp circuit connected to the trailer wiring harness.

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

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to provide new part number for 2002-2003 vehicles. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 04-06-04-003 (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
This bulletin provides information on two different conditions.
Condition 1
Some customers may comment that their vehicle is difficult to fill with fuel or when filling, the pump
continuously shuts off before the tank is full.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the variability (fuel flow rates, type of fuel fill nozzle, fuel
properties) at the filling stations. There is a potential to develop an increase in back pressures
internal to the fuel fill neck. This back pressure trips the fuel nozzle prior to filling the tank, or results
in a hard to fill condition.
Condition 2 Some customers may comment that when filling the fuel tank, a small amount of fuel
may spit back/out.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the equalization of pressure between the fuel tank and the fuel fill
neck that does not react quickly to the variance in the pressure when the fueling station fuel nozzle
trips off.
Correction
Replace the fuel tank filler upper pipe assembly with P/N 88983256 or P/N 15131043, and lower
hose assembly with P/N 15131046. The new upper pipe has been redesigned to provide smoother
flow conditions within the section and the lower hose has been redesigned to include a checking
feature. Use the procedure listed below.
1. Remove the fuel fill cap.
2. Remove the fuel fill pipe housing.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor is a permanent magnet generator, known as a variable
reluctance sensor. The magnetic field of the sensor is altered by a crankshaft mounted reluctor
wheel that has seven machined slots, six of which are equally spaced 60 degrees apart. The
seventh slot is spaced 10 degrees after one of the 60 degree slots. The CKP sensor produces
seven pulses for each revolution of the crankshaft. The pulse from the 10 degree slot is known as
the sync pulse. The sync pulse is used to synchronize the coil firing sequence with the crankshaft
position. The CKP sensor is connected to the PCM by a signal circuit and a low reference circuit.

Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors.
Backprobe
IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
- Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector.
- Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
- After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a
trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot.
The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows
comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a
first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be
lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
- Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
- Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information

6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the
middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper
handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing:
- The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
- A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-C if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA
ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to
ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the
plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated
in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a
terminal for replacement.

of weather. The customer may also comment on repeat occurrences of this condition because
water may be passing over the Air Intake Plenum (AIP).
Cause
The dripping rain water onto the engine cam cover will collect at the coil(s) and may seep past the
coil(s) into the spark plug(s) well of the cylinder head and may affect the operation of the spark
plug(s) and coil(s), causing the misfire(s).
Correction
Before replacing the AIP seal, refer to Misfire diagnostics in SI to determine if water intrusion was
the cause of the misfire.
Diagnostic Aids for Misfire
Refer to SI for Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine Noises.
If no trouble found (NTF) using SI document on Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine
Noises, then refer to SI for Misfire DTC(s).

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.

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

Engine Oil: Description and Operation Api Oil and Additives
WHAT KIND OF ENGINE OIL TO USE
Oils recommended for your vehicle can be identified by looking for the starburst symbol.
This symbol indicates that the oil has been certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API). Do
not use any oil which does not carry this starburst symbol.
If you choose to perform the engine oil change service yourself, be sure the oil you use has the
starburst symbol on the front of the oil container. If you have your oil changed for you, be sure the
oil put into your engine is American Petroleum Institute certified for gasoline engines.
You should also use the proper viscosity oil for your vehicle, as shown in the viscosity chart.
As in the chart shown previously, SAE 5W-30 is the only viscosity grade recommended for your
vehicle. You should look for and use only oils which have the API Starburst symbol and which are
also identified as SAE 5W-30. If you cannot find such SAE 5W-30 oils, you can use an SAE
10W-30 oil which has the API Starburst symbol, if it's going to be 0°F (-18°C) or above. Do not use
other viscosity grade oils, such as SAE 10W-40 or SAE 20W-50 under any conditions.
NOTICE: Use only engine oil with 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
Don't add anything to your oil. The recommended oils with the starburst symbol are all you will
need for good performance and engine protection.

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

Diagnostic Aids Excessive wear on a drive belt(s) is usually caused by an incorrect installation or
the wrong drive belt for the application.
Minor misalignment of the drive belt pulleys will not cause excessive wear, but will probably cause
the drive belt(s) to make a noise or to fall off.
Excessive misalignment of the drive belt pulleys will cause excessive wear but may also make the
drive belt(s) fall off.
Drive Belt Excessive Wear Diagnosis
Test Description The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.
2. The inspection is to verify the drive belt(s) is correctly installed on all of the drive belt pulleys.
Wear on the drive belt(s) may be caused by
mix-positioning the drive belt(s) by one groove on a pulley.
3. The installation of a drive belt that is two wide or two narrow will cause wear on the drive belt.
The drive belt ribs should match all of the grooves
on all of the pulleys.
4. This inspection is to verify the drive belt(s) is not contacting any parts of the engine or body while
the engine is operating. There should be
sufficient clearance when the drive belt accessory drive components load varies. The drive belt(s)
should not come in contact with an engine or a body component when snapping the throttle.
Drive Belt Falls Off
Drive Belt Falls Off Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids If the drive belt(s) repeatedly falls off the drive belt pulleys, this is because of pulley
misalignment. An extra load that is quickly applied on released by an accessory drive component
may cause the drive belt to fall off the pulleys. Verify the accessory drive components operate
properly. If the drive belt(s) is the incorrect length, the drive belt tensioner may not keep the proper
tension on the drive belt.

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

2007 Model Year Vehicles and Newer all have Digital OnStar(R) Modules.
Part 1
OnStar(R) Description and Operation
This OnStar(R) digital system consists of the following components:
^ Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
^ OnStar(R) button assembly
^ Microphone
^ Cellular antenna
^ Navigation antenna
Note
This system also interfaces with the factory installed vehicle audio system.
Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) is a cellular device that allows the user to
communicate data and voice signals over the national cellular network. Power is provided by a
dedicated, fused B+ circuit. Ground is provided through the vehicle wiring harness attached to the
module. The ignition state is determined by the VCIM through serial data messaging.
Dedicated circuits are used to connect the VCIM to a microphone, the button assembly, and to
command the status LED. The VCIM communicates with the rest of the vehicle modules using the
serial data bus.
The module houses 2 technology systems, one to process GPS data, and another for cellular
information. The cellular system connects the OnStar(R) system to the cellular carrier's
communication system by interacting with the national cellular infrastructure. The module sends
and receives all cellular communications over the cellular antenna and cellular antenna coax. GPS
satellites orbiting earth are constantly transmitting signals of their current location. The OnStar(R)
system uses the GPS signals to provide location on demand.
The module also has the capability of activating the horn, initiating door lock/unlock, or activating
the exterior lamps using the serial data circuits. These functions can be commanded by the
OnStar(R) Call Center per: a customer request.
OnStar(R) Button Assembly
The OnStar(R) button assembly may be part of the rearview mirror, or a separate, stand alone unit.
The button assembly is comprised of 3 buttons and a status LED. The buttons are defined as
follows:
^ The answer/end call button, which is black with a white phone icon, allows the user to answer
and end calls or initiate speech recognition.
^ The blue OnStar(R) call center button, which displays the OnStar(R) logo, allows the user to
connect to the OnStar(R) call center.
^ The emergency button, which displays a white cross with a red background, sends a high priority
emergency call to the OnStar(R) call center when pressed.
The VCIM supplies 10 volts to the OnStar(R) button assembly on the keypad supply voltage circuit.
When pressed, each button completes a circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be
returned to the VCIM on the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned the
VCIM is able to identify which button has been pressed.
The OnStar(R) status LED is located with the button assembly. The LED is green when the system
is ON and operating normally. When the status LED is green and flashing, it is an indication that a
call is in progress. When the LED is red, this indicates a system malfunction is present. In the event
there is a system malfunction and the OnStar(R) system is still able to make a call, the LED will
flash red during the call.
If the LED does not illuminate, this may indicate that the customers OnStar(R) subscription is not
active or has expired. Push the blue OnStar button to connect to an advisor who can then verify the
account status.
Each LED is controlled by the VCIM over dedicated LED signal circuits. Ground for the LED is
provided by the wiring harness attached to the button assembly.

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

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

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

A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage.
The J 34142-B 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 procedure.
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.
Using Connector Test Adapters
USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS
NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-A Connector Test Adapter Kit or the J
42675 Flat Wire Probe Adapter Kit in order to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other
substitutes as they can damage terminals and cause incorrect measurements.
Using Fused Jumper Wires
USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire
IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged.
The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without
damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some
circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested.
Connector Position Assurance Locks
CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS
The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of
all the SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate
apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR mating
terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance Locks
TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS
The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control

Bulletin No.: 04-08-48-001B
Date: June 28, 2005
INFORMATION
Subject: Rear Window Defogger - Broken Heating Grid Detection Method
Models: 2006 and Prior Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (Including Saturn) 2003-2006
HUMMER H2 2006 HUMMER H3
Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add the 2006 model year and additional models. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 04-08-48-001A (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
The addition of vertical grid lines to the heated back window defogger circuits has made it difficult
to detect broken defogger grid lines. In the past, it was a simple matter to use a voltmeter to check
the continuity of each grid line in order to locate a non-functional line. Some new design back
windows have two vertical grid lines that connect all of the horizontal grid lines together, thereby
providing alternate routes for the electrical current to follow. This makes the old test method
ineffective. If the vehicle does not have the vertical lines, the old (line-by-line) test methods can be
used.
Materials Required
^ Permatex(R) Quick Grid, GM P/N 12346001, or equivalent
^ A small ball of fine steel wool Type 00, or
^ Optional - A strip of liquid crystal heat sensitive paper, 51 mm x 305 mm (2 in x 12 in) or similar
size (Contact Edmund Scientific at 800-728-6999 for part number CR30723-70 or go to
www.scientificsonline.com), or
^ Optional-A portable infrared thermometer, GE-46819, available from Kent-Moore
(1-800-345-2233), or equivalent.
Correction
There are three distinct zones across the back window that must be checked. They are:
^ the driver's side outboard of the two vertical lines
^ the passenger side outboard of the two vertical lines
^ the central zone that falls between the two vertical lines
To detect a broken grid line in any of the above three zones and to isolate the exact location of the
break, perform the following steps:
Caution:
^ Approved safety glasses and gloves should be worn when performing this procedure to reduce
the chance of personal injury.
^ Cover the rear shelf area to prevent damage to the interior trim material.
1. Start the engine and turn on the back window defogger.
2. Take the ball of fine steel wool and twist one end to a point. Move the point slowly across each
grid line. Be sure to start at the far side of the zone and move it to the opposite side of the zone.
When you bridge the grid line break with the steel wool, you will see a small spark. Repeat the test
over the same area to be sure you have accurately located the break. Mark the exact location of
the grid line break. Repeat this portion of the test for each grid line. If you do not see a spark at any
point, it is possible that there are two breaks in the same line and zone. Close visual inspection
using a magnifying glass may be the only way to locate breaks in this case.
3. The following are provided as an alternative way to detect a non-functional grid line. If available,
use in addition to the steel wool.

Ambient Temperature Sensor / Switch HVAC: Description and Operation
AIR TEMPERATURE SENSORS
The air temperature sensors are a 2 wire negative temperature co-efficient thermistor. The vehicle
uses the following air temperature sensors: Ambient Air Temperature Sensor
- Inside Air Temperature Sensor Assembly
- Upper Left Air Temperature Sensor
- Upper Right Air Temperature Sensor
- Lower Left Air Temperature Sensor
- Lower Right Air Temperature Sensor
A signal and low reference circuit enables the sensor to operate. As the air temperature
surrounding the sensor increases, the sensor resistance decreases. The sensor signal voltage
decreases as the resistance decreases. The sensor operates within a temperature range between
-40°C (-40°F) to 101°C (215°F). The sensor signal varies between 0-5 volts.
The input of the duct air temperature sensors are different from the ambient and inside sensors.
The HVAC control module converts the signal to a range between 0-255 counts. As the air
temperature increases the count value will decrease.
If the HVAC control module detects a malfunctioning sensor, then the control module software will
use a defaulted air temperature value. The default value for the ambient and inside air temperature
sensors will be displayed on the scan tool. The default value for the duct air temperature sensors
will not be displayed on the scan tool. The scan tool parameter for the duct air temperature sensors
are the actual state of the signal circuit. The default action ensures that the HVAC system can
adjust the inside air temperature near the desired temperature until the condition is corrected.
The ambient air temperature sensor mounts underhood and can be affected by city traffic, by idling,
and by restarting a hot engine. Therefore, the HVAC control module filters the value of the ambient
air temperature sensor for temperature display. The ambient air temperature value is updated
under the following conditions:
The scan tool has the ability to update the displayed ambient air temperature. To update the
ambient air temperature display on the HVAC control module, perform the following procedure:
Simultaneously press the MODE, FRONT DEFROST and REAR DEFROST switches. 1. Turn ON
the ignition. 2. Simultaneously press the MODE, FRONT DEFROST and REAR DEFROST
switches.

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

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

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

Body Control Module: Description and Operation
BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM)
The CTD system is an internal function of the Body Control Module (BCM) which utilizes class 2
serial data from the driver door module (DDM), Passenger door module (PDM) and the liftgate
module (LGM) and various switch input information to perform CTD functions. When the BCM
detects an unauthorized entry, it activates the horns and exterior lamps.
When the BCM detects an unauthorized entry, the BCM enters the alarm mode. The BCM
activates the horns and exterior lamps for 2 minutes. This is followed by a three minute time-out
with the horn no longer active. If no new intrusions are detected after the time-out, the horn is not
active. The system must be disarmed or the intrusion condition removed after the time-out for the
system to exit alarm mode.
The BCM contains the logic of the theft deterrent system. The BCM provides the battery positive
voltage to operate the Passlock(TM) Sensor. The BCM also measures the voltage of the security
sensor signal circuit. The voltage measured will indicate whether the Passlock(TM) Sensor has
been activated and whether the resistance value from the sensor is a valid value or the tamper
value. If voltage measured is in the valid range, the BCM compares this voltage, voltage code, to a
previously learned voltage code. If the voltage codes match, the BCM sends a class 2 message
containing a password to the PCM. If the voltage codes do not match, or the voltage is in the
Tamper range, or there is a circuit fault, the BCM will not send the correct password to the PCM,
and the vehicle will not start.

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

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

The US National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act provides that each vehicle which is subject to
a recall of this type must be adequately repaired within a reasonable time after the customer has
tendered it for repair. A failure to repair within sixty days after tender of a vehicle is prima facie
evidence of failure to repair within a reasonable time. If the condition is not adequately repaired
within a reasonable time, the customer may be entitled to an identical or reasonably equivalent
vehicle at no charge or to a refund of the purchase price less a reasonable allowance for
depreciation. To avoid having to provide these burdensome remedies, every effort must be made
to promptly schedule an appointment with each customer and to repair their vehicle as soon as
possible. In the recall notification letters, customers are told how to contact the US National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration if the recall is not completed within a reasonable time.
Dealer Recall Responsibility - All

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

IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value
in order to record the full change.
5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling
the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations.
6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has
been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the
value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9.
Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values.
- If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 volt or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
- If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
- Wiring broken inside the insulation
- Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector.
- Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter, improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the
connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor
terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-C or the J 38125-4 Instruction Data for terminal identification.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2.
Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or
green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J 38125-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection Drive Belt Chirping
Drive Belt Chirping Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids The symptom may be intermittent due to moisture on the drive belt(s) or the
pulleys. It may be necessary to spray a small amount of water on the drive belt(s) in order to
duplicate the customers concern. If spraying water on the drive belt(s) duplicates the symptom,
cleaning the belt pulleys may be the probable solution. A loose or improper installation of a body
component, a suspension component, or other items of the vehicle may cause the chirping noise.
Drive Belt Chirping Diagnosis
Test Description The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.
2. The noise may not be engine related. This step is to verify that the engine is making the noise. If
the engine is not making the noise do not proceed
further with this table.
3. The noise may be an internal engine noise. Removing the drive belt and operating the engine for
a brief period will verify the noise is related to the
drive belt. When removing the drive belt(s) the water pump may not be operating and the engine
may overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive belt removed.
4. Inspect all drive belt pulleys for pilling. Pilling is the small balls or pills or it may be strings in the
drive belt grooves from the accumulation of
rubber dust.
6. Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from improper mounting of the accessory drive
component, incorrect installation of the accessory drive

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

Subject: Higher Than Normal Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge Readings (Reprogram PCM)
Models: 2004 Buick Rainier 2002-2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer, TrailBlazer EXT 2002-2004 GMC
Envoy, Envoy XL 2004 GMC Envoy XUV 2002-2004 Oldsmobile Bravada
Condition
Some customers may comment on higher than normal engine coolant temperature gauge readings
when operating the vehicle in very high outside ambient temperatures, and in stop and go or slow
moving traffic.
Cause
Reduced air flow across the radiator and preheated air from stopped or slow moving driving
conditions from traffic congestion may result in normally higher engine coolant operating
temperatures as indicated by the temperature gauge.
Correction
Technicians are to reprogram the PCM with an updated software calibration. This new service
calibration was released with TIS satellite data update version 7.3 available July 7, 2004. As
always, make sure your TECH 2(R) is updated with the latest software version.
This new calibration will cause the PCM to command small amounts of additional fan engagement
to control engine coolant temperatures and gauge readings closer to a customer perception of
normal.

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
The supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system/supplemental restraint system (SRS) requires
special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific
procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system
terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.
The tool kit J 38125-C contains the following items:
- Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction Data
The sealed splices have the following 2 critical features:
- A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
- A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The J 38125-C also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items:
- A large sampling of common electrical terminals
- The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires
- The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-C. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.

Radiator: Description and Operation
Radiator The radiator is a heat exchanger, consisting of a core and 2 tanks. The aluminum core is
a tube and fin crossflow design that extends from the inlet tank to the outlet tank. Fins are placed
around the outside of the tubes to improve heat transfer to the atmosphere.
The inlet and outlet tanks are a molded, high temperature, nylon reinforced plastic material. A high
temperature rubber gasket seals the tank flange edge to the aluminum core. The tanks are
clamped to the core with clinch tabs. The tabs are part of the aluminum header at each end of the
core.
The radiator also has a drain cock located in the bottom of the left hand tank. The drain cock unit
includes the drain cock and drain cock seal.
The radiator removes heat from the coolant passing through the core. The fins on the core transfer
heat from the coolant passing through the tubes. As air passes between the fins, the air removes
the heat and cools the coolant.

TECHNICAL
Subject:
Intermittent Hesitation, Stumble or Idle Stall after Soak, Harsh 1-2 Shift, Slipping 1-2 Shift Followed
by a Harsh Engagement (Reprogram PCM)
Models: 2002-2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer 2002-2003 GMC Envoy 2002-2003 Oldsmobile Bravada
with 4.2L Engine (VIN S - RPO LL8)
Condition
Some customers may comment on an intermittent hesitation/stumble or idle stall within minutes of
starting after the vehicle has been sitting for several hours. Additionally, some customers with a
2003 model year vehicle may comment on a harsh 1-2 shift or 1-2 slip shift that has a bump feeling
when 2nd gear engages.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the EVAP diagnostic test as it opens the purge valve for a few
seconds and then closes it to verify proper emission sensor operation. If the purge canister is
saturated, the EVAP system on-board diagnostic test may cause the vehicle to correct for a rich
condition from the canister. The vehicle would then become lean when the purge valve closes at
the completion of the test. This condition occurs primarily with high RVP fuel and after the vehicle
sits for several hours in a warm ambient, above 21°C (70°F). A customer who takes short trips is
more likely to experience this condition, as they don't have the drive cycle that would allow the
purge canister to fully re-circulate the fuel vapor.
Correction
For Hesitation, Stumble or Idle Stall:
Follow the SI diagnostics for the stall/stumble condition. If the result is no trouble found, then
reprogram the module with the latest calibration.
For Harsh or Slipping Shifts on 2003 Model Year vehicles:
Reprogram the module with the latest calibration.
The calibrations listed are electronic calibrations and are NOT available from GMSPO. Calibrations
will be available from Techline starting September 2003, on the TIS 2003 Disc 10.0 CD ROM.

Refrigerant: Service and Repair
REFRIGERANT RECOVERY AND RECHARGING
TOOLS REQUIRED
- J 43600 ACR 2000 Air Conditioning Service Center
- J 45037 A/C Oil Injector
CAUTION: Avoid breathing the A/C Refrigerant 134a (R-134a) and the lubricant vapor or the mist.
Exposure may irritate the eyes, nose, and
throat. Work in a well ventilated area.
In order to remove R-134a from the A/C system, use service equipment that is certified to meet the
requirements of SAE J 2210 (R-134a recycling equipment). If an accidental system discharge
occurs, ventilate the work area before continuing service. Additional health and safety information
may be obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
For personal protection, goggles and gloves should be worn and a clean cloth wrapped around
fittings, valves, and connections when doing work that includes opening the refrigerant system. If
R-134a comes in contact with any part of the body severe frostbite and personal injury can result.
The exposed area should be flushed immediately with cold water and prompt medical help should
be obtained.
NOTE: R-134a is the only approved refrigerant for use in this vehicle. The use of any other
refrigerant may result in poor system performance or
component failure.
To avoid system damage use only R-134a dedicated tools when servicing the A/C system.
Use only Polyalkylene Glycol Synthetic Refrigerant Oil (PAG) for internal circulation through the
R-134a A/C system and only 525 viscosity mineral oil on fitting threads and O-rings. If lubricants
other than those specified are used, compressor failure and/or fitting seizure may result.
R-12 refrigerant and R-134a refrigerant must never be mixed, even in the smallest of amounts, as
they are incompatible with each other. If the refrigerants are mixed, compressor failure is likely to
occur.
The J 43600 is a complete air conditioning service center for R-134a. The ACR 2000 recovers,
recycles, evacuates and recharges A/C refrigerant quickly, accurately and automatically.
The unit has a display screen that contains the function controls and displays prompts that will lead
the technician through the recover, recycle, evacuate and recharge operations.
R-134a is recovered into and charged out of an internal storage vessel. The ACR 2000
automatically replenishes this vessel from an external source tank in order to maintain a constant
5.45-6.82 kg (12-15 lbs) of A/C refrigerant.
The ACR 2000 has a built in A/C refrigerant identifier that will test for contamination, prior to
recovery and will notify the technician if there are foreign gases present in the A/C system.
If foreign gases are present, the ACR 2000 will not recover the refrigerant from the A/C system.
The ACR 2000 also features automatic air purge, single pass recycling and an automatic oil drain.
Refer to the J 43600 ACR 2000 manual for operation and setup instruction.
Always recharge the A/C System with the proper amount of R-134a. Refer to Refrigerant System
Capacities for the correct amount.

6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the
middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper
handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing:
- The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
- A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-C if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA
ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to
ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the
plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated
in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a
terminal for replacement.

1. Open the harness.
- If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
- To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
- If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire.
2. Cut the wire.
- Cut as little wire off the harness as possible.
- Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and
connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage.
3. Select the proper size and type of wire.
- The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link).
- The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-C. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure
if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
- Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
- Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
- When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
- Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
- Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
- If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

Inflatable Restraint Sensing And Diagnostic Module: Description and Operation
INFLATABLE RESTRAINT SENSING AND DIAGNOSTIC MODULE (SDM)
The Sensing And Diagnostic Module (SDM) is a microprocessor and the control center for the SIR
system. The SDM contains internal sensors along with several external sensors, if equipped,
mounted at strategic locations on the vehicle. In the event of a collision, the SDM compares the
signals from the internal and external sensors to a value stored in memory. When the generated
signals exceed the stored value, the SDM will cause current to flow through the appropriate
deployment loops to deploy the air bags. The SDM records the SIR system status when a
deployment occurs and turns the AIR BAG indicator located in the IPC ON. The SDM performs
continuous diagnostic monitoring of the SIR system electrical components and circuitry when the
ignition is turned ON. If the SDM detects a malfunction, a DTC will be stored and the SDM will
command the AIR BAG indicator ON, notifying the driver that a malfunction exist. In the event that
ignition positive voltage is lost during a collision, the SDM maintains a 23-volt loop reserve (23
VLR) for deployment of the air bags. It is important when disabling the SIR system for servicing or
rescue operations to allow the 23 VLR to dissipate, which could take up to 1 minute.

Body Control Module: Description and Operation
BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM)
The CTD system is an internal function of the Body Control Module (BCM) which utilizes class 2
serial data from the driver door module (DDM), Passenger door module (PDM) and the liftgate
module (LGM) and various switch input information to perform CTD functions. When the BCM
detects an unauthorized entry, it activates the horns and exterior lamps.
When the BCM detects an unauthorized entry, the BCM enters the alarm mode. The BCM
activates the horns and exterior lamps for 2 minutes. This is followed by a three minute time-out
with the horn no longer active. If no new intrusions are detected after the time-out, the horn is not
active. The system must be disarmed or the intrusion condition removed after the time-out for the
system to exit alarm mode.
The BCM contains the logic of the theft deterrent system. The BCM provides the battery positive
voltage to operate the Passlock(TM) Sensor. The BCM also measures the voltage of the security
sensor signal circuit. The voltage measured will indicate whether the Passlock(TM) Sensor has
been activated and whether the resistance value from the sensor is a valid value or the tamper
value. If voltage measured is in the valid range, the BCM compares this voltage, voltage code, to a
previously learned voltage code. If the voltage codes match, the BCM sends a class 2 message
containing a password to the PCM. If the voltage codes do not match, or the voltage is in the
Tamper range, or there is a circuit fault, the BCM will not send the correct password to the PCM,
and the vehicle will not start.

Disassembly Procedure
Notice: Never clamp propeller shaft tubing in a vise. Clamping could dent or deform the tube
causing an imbalance or unsafe condition. Always clamp on one of the yokes and support the shaft
horizontally. Avoid damaging the slip yoke sealing surface. Nicks may damage the bushing or cut
the lip seal.
1. Support the propeller shaft in a line horizontal with the table of a press. 2. Mark the propeller
shaft in order to show which end connects to the transmission and which end goes to the rear axle.
3. Disassemble the snap rings by pinching the ends together with a pair of pliers. 4. If the ring does
not readily snap out of the groove in the yoke, tap the end of the cup lightly in order to relieve the
pressure from the ring. 5. Place the universal joint so that the lower ear of the yoke is supported on
a 30 mm (1-1/8 inch) hex head socket or a 27 mm (1-1/16 inch) socket.
6. Place J9522-3 on the open horizontal bearing cups. Press the lower bearing cup out of the yoke
ear. 7. If you do not completely remove the bearing cup, lift the cross and insert J9522-5 between
the seal and the bearing cup you are removing.
Continue pressing the bearing cup out of the yoke.
8. Rotate the propeller shaft. Press the opposite bearing cup out of the yoke. 9. Mark the
orientation of the slip yoke to the tube for proper reassembly.
10. Remove the cross from the yoke. 11. Remove the remaining universal joint parts from the yoke.

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

Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors.
Backprobe
IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
- Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector.
- Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
- After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a
trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot.
The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows
comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a
first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be
lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
- Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
- Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information

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

Models: 2004 Buick Rainier 2002-2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer Models 2002-2004 GMC Envoy
Models 2002-2004 Oldsmobile Bravada
Condition
Some customers may comment on an underhood tick noise heard while the vehicle is idling.
Technicians may find that the noise does not increase or decrease with changes in the engine idle
RPM. The tick noise occurs at approximately one second intervals.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the electro-viscous fan clutch control function of the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) attempting to keep the fan speed between 300-600 revolutions per minute
(RPM). At idle, the cooling fan speed will drag to approximately 500 RPM then oscillate between
300 and 600 RPM. When the fan speed drops below 500 RPM, the PCM will pulse the fan control
solenoid. The pulsing of the solenoid is the cause of the ticking noise.
Correction
Technicians are to verify that the cooling fan clutch is the source of the noise by using either one of
the following two methods:
^ Use a Tech 2(R) to command the cooling fan off. If the ticking noise goes away, the pulsing of the
cooling fan clutch is the source of the noise.
^ The cooling fan clutch electrical connector, located on the cooling fan shroud, may be
disconnected with the engine off. If the ticking noise goes away, the pulsing of the cooling fan
clutch is the source of the noise. Be sure to clear any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) that may
have set while the cooling fan clutch is disconnected.
Technicians are to reprogram the PCM with an updated software calibration. The new software
calibration is currently available in TIS for all the vehicles listed above.

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

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

with OnStar(R) (RPO UE1)
This bulletin is being issued to provide dealer service personnel with information regarding
aftermarket devices connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC) and the impact to
OnStar(R) diagnostic probes and Vehicle Diagnostic e-mails.
Certain aftermarket devices, when connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector, such as, but not
limited to, Scan Tools, Trip Computers, Fuel Economy Analyzers and Insurance Tracking Devices,
interfere with OnStar's ability to perform a diagnostic probe when requested (via a blue button call)
by a subscriber. These devices also prohibit the ability to gather diagnostic and tire pressure data
for a subscriber's scheduled OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail.
These aftermarket devices utilize the Vehicles serial data bus to perform data requests and/or
information gathering. When these devices are requesting data, OnStar(R) is designed not to
interfere with any data request being made by these devices as required by OBD II regulations.
The OnStar(R) advisor is unable to definitively detect the presence of these devices and will only
be able to inform the caller or requester of the unsuccessful or incomplete probe and may in some
cases refer the subscriber/requester to take the vehicle to a dealer for diagnosis of the concern.
When performing a diagnostic check for an unsuccessful or incomplete OnStar(R) diagnostic
probe, or for concerns regarding completeness of the OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail,
verify that an aftermarket device was not present at the time of the requested probe. Regarding the
OVD e-mail, if an aftermarket device is interfering (including a Scan Tool of any type), the e-mail
will consistently display a "yellow" indication in diagnostics section for all vehicle systems except
the OnStar(R) System and Tire Pressure data (not available on all vehicles) will not be displayed
(i.e. section is collapsed). Successful diagnostic probes and complete OVD e-mails will resume
following the removal or disconnecting of the off-board device.

The first phase also machined a case chamfer leading into the pump bore (2). The chamfer is
designed to help eliminate possible 0-ring seal damage during pump installation.
Phase two modified the case casting and the chamfer into the pump bore. The casting change left
additional material in the surrounding pump bore to allow deeper bore machining in order to create
the necessary sealing surface for a new pump seal design. The leading surface into the pump bore

The torque specification has changed for the fittings to case. The torque has changed from 38 Nm
(28 lb ft) to 32 Nm (23 lb ft).
Tighten
Tighten the new cooler fittings to 32 Nm (23 lb ft).
The converter drain back check ball (420C) has been removed from the cooler line fitting and is
now located in the channel plate.
If you get a concern of no movement in the morning or after sitting for several hours, the cooler
check ball should be inspected.
The best way to determine where the check ball is located is to look at the cooler line fittings. The
old fittings are different sizes (3/8-18 NPSF & 1/4-18 NPSF) and would contain the cooler check
ball. The new fittings are the same size as each other (9/16-18 UNF) and do not have a cooler
check ball.

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

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

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

Recall - Brake Pipe Scoring
Technical Service Bulletin # 03025 Date: 030501
Recall - Brake Pipe Scoring
File In Section: Product Recalls
Bulletin No.: 03025
Date: May, 2003
PRODUCT SAFETY RECALL
SUBJECT: 03025 - BRAKE PIPE SCORING
MODELS: 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER 2003 GMC ENVOY 2003 OLDSMOBILE BRAVADA
CONDITION
General Motors has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain
2003 model year Chevrolet TrailBlazer, GMC Envoy, and Oldsmobile Bravada vehicles. On some
of these vehicles, the front left brake pipe may have been scored during manufacturing. The brake
pipe may lose strength at the score location due to corrosion and fatigue resulting from brake fluid
pressure, vibration, and temperature changes. As a result of this, the brake pipe may eventually
fracture at the score location. If the brake pipe were to fracture, brake pedal travel would be
increased and front brake performance would be reduced. In these instances, braking would be
limited to that available with the remaining half system (rear brakes).
In all of the above cases, the brake light would illuminate after sufficient fluid leaked out of the
system to activate the low fluid level switch in the master cylinder reservoir. These conditions would
meet the half system requirements of MVSS 135.
CORRECTION
Dealers are to inspect the front left brake pipe and replace it, if necessary.
VEHICLES INVOLVED
Involved are certain 2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer, GMC Envoy, and Oldsmobile Bravada vehicles
built within the VIN breakpoints shown.
IMPORTANT:
Dealers should confirm vehicle eligibility through GMVIS (GM Vehicle Inquiry System) or GM
Access Screen (Canada only) or DCS Screen 445 (IPC only) before beginning recall repairs. [Not
all vehicles within the above breakpoints may be involved.]
Involved vehicles have been identified by Vehicle Identification Number. Computer listings
containing the complete Vehicle Identification Number, customer name and address data have
been prepared, and are being furnished to involved dealers with the recall bulletin. The customer
name and address data will enable dealers to follow up with customers involved in this recall. Any
dealer not receiving a computer listing with the recall bulletin has no involved vehicles currently
assigned.
These dealer listings may contain customer names and addresses obtained from Motor Vehicle
Registration Records. The use of such motor vehicle registration data for any other purpose is a
violation of law in several states/provinces/countries. Accordingly, you are urged to limit the use of

Some terminals do not require all of the steps shown. Skip the steps that do not apply for your
immediate terminal repair. The J 38125-C contains further information.
1. Cut off the terminal between the core and the insulation crimp. Minimize any wire loss.
For Weather Pack(R) terminals, remove the seal.
2. Apply the correct seal per gage size of the wire.
For Weather Pack(R) terminals, slide the seal back along the wire in order to enable insulation
removal.
3. Remove the insulation. 4. For Weather Pack(R) terminals only, align the seal with the end of the
cable insulation. 5. Position the strip in the terminal.
For Weather Pack(R) terminals, position the strip and seal in the terminal.
6. Hand crimp the core wings. 7. Hand crimp the insulation wings.
For Weather Pack(R) terminals, hand crimp the insulation wings around the seal and the cable.
8. Solder all of the hand crimp terminals.
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.

Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors.
Backprobe
IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
- Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector.
- Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
- After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a
trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot.
The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows
comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a
first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be
lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
- Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
- Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information

If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-C. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure
if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
- Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
- Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
- When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
- Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
- Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
- If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

Ignition Coil: Description and Operation
Each ignition coil has an ignition 1 feed and a ground. The PCM supplies an ignition control (IC)
circuit. Each ignition coil contains a solid state driver module as its primary element. The PCM
signals the coil driver to initiate a firing event by applying the IC circuit voltage for the appropriate
time or dwell. When the voltage is removed, the coil fires the spark plug. The coils are
current-limited to prevent overloading if the IC current is held high too long. The spark plugs are
tipped with platinum for long wear and higher efficiency.

2007 Model Year Vehicles and Newer all have Digital OnStar(R) Modules.
Part 1
OnStar(R) Description and Operation
This OnStar(R) digital system consists of the following components:
^ Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
^ OnStar(R) button assembly
^ Microphone
^ Cellular antenna
^ Navigation antenna
Note
This system also interfaces with the factory installed vehicle audio system.
Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) is a cellular device that allows the user to
communicate data and voice signals over the national cellular network. Power is provided by a
dedicated, fused B+ circuit. Ground is provided through the vehicle wiring harness attached to the
module. The ignition state is determined by the VCIM through serial data messaging.
Dedicated circuits are used to connect the VCIM to a microphone, the button assembly, and to
command the status LED. The VCIM communicates with the rest of the vehicle modules using the
serial data bus.
The module houses 2 technology systems, one to process GPS data, and another for cellular
information. The cellular system connects the OnStar(R) system to the cellular carrier's
communication system by interacting with the national cellular infrastructure. The module sends
and receives all cellular communications over the cellular antenna and cellular antenna coax. GPS
satellites orbiting earth are constantly transmitting signals of their current location. The OnStar(R)
system uses the GPS signals to provide location on demand.
The module also has the capability of activating the horn, initiating door lock/unlock, or activating
the exterior lamps using the serial data circuits. These functions can be commanded by the
OnStar(R) Call Center per: a customer request.
OnStar(R) Button Assembly
The OnStar(R) button assembly may be part of the rearview mirror, or a separate, stand alone unit.
The button assembly is comprised of 3 buttons and a status LED. The buttons are defined as
follows:
^ The answer/end call button, which is black with a white phone icon, allows the user to answer
and end calls or initiate speech recognition.
^ The blue OnStar(R) call center button, which displays the OnStar(R) logo, allows the user to
connect to the OnStar(R) call center.
^ The emergency button, which displays a white cross with a red background, sends a high priority
emergency call to the OnStar(R) call center when pressed.
The VCIM supplies 10 volts to the OnStar(R) button assembly on the keypad supply voltage circuit.
When pressed, each button completes a circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be
returned to the VCIM on the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned the
VCIM is able to identify which button has been pressed.
The OnStar(R) status LED is located with the button assembly. The LED is green when the system
is ON and operating normally. When the status LED is green and flashing, it is an indication that a
call is in progress. When the LED is red, this indicates a system malfunction is present. In the event
there is a system malfunction and the OnStar(R) system is still able to make a call, the LED will
flash red during the call.
If the LED does not illuminate, this may indicate that the customers OnStar(R) subscription is not
active or has expired. Push the blue OnStar button to connect to an advisor who can then verify the
account status.
Each LED is controlled by the VCIM over dedicated LED signal circuits. Ground for the LED is
provided by the wiring harness attached to the button assembly.

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

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

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

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

6. Hand crimp the core wings. 7. Hand crimp the insulation wings.
For Weather Pack(R) terminals, hand crimp the insulation wings around the seal and the cable.
8. Solder all of the hand crimp terminals.
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.

Probing Electrical Connectors
PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS
IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal
position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals.
Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the
connector.
NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-A Connector Test Adapter Kit or the J
42675 Flat Wire Probe Adapter Kit in order to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other
substitutes as they can damage terminals and cause incorrect measurements.

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.
Description and Operation
Radiator Cap: Description and Operation
Pressure Cap The pressure cap seals the cooling system, and contains a blow-off or pressure
valve, and a vacuum or atmospheric valve. The pressure valve is held against the seat by a spring,
which protects the radiator from excess cooling system pressure. The vacuum valve is held against
the seat by a spring, which permits the opening of the valve to relieve the vacuum created in the
cooling system as the coolant cools off. The vacuum, if not relieved, might cause the radiator
and/or coolant hoses to collapse.
The pressure cap allows cooling system pressure to build up as the temperature increases. As the
pressure builds, the boiling point of the coolant increases. Engine coolant can be safely run at a
temperature much higher than the boiling point of the coolant at atmospheric pressure. The hotter
the coolant is, the faster the heat transfers from the radiator to the cooler, passing air.
The pressure in the cooling system can get too high. When the cooling system pressure exceeds
the rating of the pressure cap, the pressure valve opens, venting the excess pressure.
As the engine cools down, the temperature of the coolant drops and a vacuum is created in the
cooling system. This vacuum causes the vacuum valve to open, allowing outside air into the surge
tank. This equalizes the pressure in the cooling system with atmospheric pressure, preventing the
radiator and coolant hoses from collapsing.

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

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

When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200
frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not
lost if the Scan Tool is powered down.
The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis.
The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected
values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and
numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful,
especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC.
Testing For a Short To Voltage
TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to
1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4.
Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Testing for Continuity
TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 2. Disconnect the power feed
(i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX
button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6.
Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no
resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other
lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6.
If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity.
Testing For Electrical Intermittents
TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS
Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at
convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment.
- Testing for Short to Ground
- Testing for Continuity
- Testing for a Short to Voltage
If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200
DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J
39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected.
IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J
39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and

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 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.
Thrust Angles Description
The front wheels aim or steer the vehicle. The rear wheels control tracking. This tracking action
relates to the thrust angle (3). The thrust angle is the path that the rear wheels take. Ideally, the
thrust angle is geometrically aligned with the body centerline (2). In the illustration, toe-in is shown
on the left rear wheel, moving the thrust line (1) off center. The resulting deviation from the
centerline is the thrust angle.
Lead/Pull Description
Lead/pull is the deviation of the vehicle from a straight path, on a level road, without hand pressure
on the steering wheel. Lead/pull is usually caused by the following factors: ^
Tire construction
^ Uneven brake adjustment
^ Wheel alignment
The way in which a tire is built may produce lead/pull. The rear tires will not cause lead.
Memory Steer Description
Memory steer is when the vehicle wants to lead or pull in the direction the driver previously turned
the vehicle. Additionally, after turning in the opposite direction, the vehicle will want to lead or pull in
that direction.
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.

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

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

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

Spark Plug: Service and Repair
Spark Plug Replacement
Removal Procedure
1. Turn OFF the ignition switch. 2. Remove the ignition coils. Refer to Ignition Coil Replacement.
Notice: Allow the engine to cool before removing the spark plugs. Attempting to remove the spark
plugs from a hot engine may cause the plug threads to seize, causing damage to cylinder head
threads.
Notice: Clean the spark plug recess area before removing the spark plug. Failure to do so could
result in engine damage because of dirt or foreign material entering the cylinder head, or by the
contamination of the cylinder head threads. The contaminated threads may prevent the proper
seating of the new plug. Use a thread chaser to clean the threads of any contamination.
3. Remove the spark plugs from the engine.
Installation Procedure
Notice: Use only the spark plugs specified for use in the vehicle. Do not install spark plugs that are
either hotter or colder than those specified for the vehicle. Installing spark plugs of another type can
severely damage the engine.
Notice: Check the gap of all new and reconditioned spark plugs before installation. The pre-set
gaps may have changed during handling. Use a round feeler gauge to ensure an accurate check.
Installing the spark plugs with the wrong gap can cause poor engine performance and may even
damage the engine.
1. Measure the spark plug gap on the spark plugs to be installed. Compare the measurement to the
gap specifications. Refer to Ignition System
Specifications, See: Specifications Correct as necessary.
Notice: Be sure that the spark plug threads smoothly into the cylinder head and the spark plug is
fully seated. Use a thread chaser, if necessary, to clean threads in the cylinder head.
Cross-threading or failing to fully seat the spark plug can cause overheating of the plug, exhaust
blow-by, or thread damage.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct
part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of
thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints,
lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These
coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the
correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage
to parts and systems.

^ Ignition OFF ‐ 3 to 20 mA for 48 hours
^ Ignition OFF ‐ 0.2 to 0.8 mA after 48 hours (120 hours on specified vehicle
communication platforms (VCPs)).
Note
During extended voltage testing for battery parasitic draw, it is possible to observe a voltage spike
caused by the following:
^ A cellular registration call that was triggered by the local cellular system.
^ The OnStar(R) system has set a monthly trigger for a vehicle data upload call for the OnStar(R)
Vehicle Diagnostic E‐mail upload.
OnStar(R) System States of Readiness
The OnStar(R) system will use the following 4 states of readiness, depending upon the type of
cellular market the vehicle is in when the ignition is turned OFF.
^ High power
^ Low power
^ Sleep
^ Digital standby
The high power state is in effect whenever the ignition is in the ON or RUN position, retained
accessory power (RAP) is enabled, and/or the OnStar(R) system is sending or receiving calls or
when the system is performing a remote function.
The low power state is in effect when the OnStar(R) system is idle with the ignition in the ON or
RUN position, or with RAP enabled.
The sleep state is entered after the vehicle has been shut OFF and the RAP has timed out. At a
predetermined time recorded within the VCIM, the system re-enters the low power state to listen for
a call from the OnStar(R) Call Center for 1 minute. After this interval, the system will again return to
the sleep state for 9 minutes. If a call is sent during the 1 minute interval, the OnStar(R) system will
receive the call and immediately go into the high power mode to perform any requested functions.
If a call is not received during the 1 minute interval, the system will go back into the sleep mode for
another 9 minutes. This process will continue for up to 48 hours, after which the OnStar(R) system
will turn OFF until the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position.
The digital standby power state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the RAP has
timed out while in a digital cellular area. When in digital standby mode, the OnStar(R) module is
able to perform all remote functions as commanded by an OnStar(R) advisor at any time, for a
continuous 48 hours. After 48 hours, the OnStar(R) module will go into sleep mode until a wake up
signal from the vehicle is seen by the CIM. If the OnStar module loses the digital cellular signal it
will revert to analog mode and follow the standard sleep state (9 minutes OFF, 1 minute standby)
based on the time of the GPS signals, this will continue until a digital cellular signal is again
received.
If the OnStar(R) system loses battery power while the system is in a standby or sleep mode, the
system will remain OFF until battery power is restored and the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN
position.
Deactivated OnStar(R) Accounts
In the event that a customer has not upgraded their vehicle to a digital system, the account has
been deactivated. The customers have been previously notified of the steps required to upgrade
their vehicles. After the OnStar(R) account has been deactivated, customers will experience the
following:
^ The OnStar(R) status LED will not illuminate
^ The OnStar(R) system will NOT attempt to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center in the event of a
collision or if the vehicle's front air bags deploy for any other reason.
^ An emergency button press will result in a demo message being played, indicating the service
has been deactivated and needs to be upgraded.

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 09-08-46-001
Date: April 09, 2009
Subject: Servicing Vehicles Upgraded to OnStar(R) Generation 6 Digital‐Capable System
(Follow Information Below)
Models
Attention:
This bulletin is being issued to provide dealer personnel with information and the procedures to
diagnose an upgraded OnStar(R) Generation 6 Digital-Capable system.
Program Overview
Since it was launched in 1996, OnStar® has relied on an analog wireless network to provide
communication to and from OnStar-equipped vehicles. As part of an industry wide change in the
North American wireless telecommunications industry, wireless carriers are transitioning to digital
technology and will no longer support the analog wireless network beginning early 2008.
Effective January 1, 2008, OnStar(R) service in the United States and Canada will be available
only through vehicles that are capable of operating on the digital network.
Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-08-46-006H for information about upgrading certain
vehicles to digital service. Details were covered in both the November 2006 and December 2007
issues of TechLink, which are available in the Archives of the TechLink website.
Vehicles eligible for an OnStar(R) hardware upgrade are listed in this bulletin. Vehicle
upgradeability can also be determined by typing the VIN into the field entitled "Determine VIN
Hardware Functionality" on the OnStar(R) Online Enrollment website, located in the sales or
service workbench tab of GM GlobalConnect. Canadian Dealers can use a similar tool that is
available within the OnStar(R) Canada Online Enrollment site that can be accessed from the
OnStar(R) Brand Resources in GlobalConnect.
Access to the sales and/or service workbench in the GM GlobalConnect website can be granted by
the dealership's Partner Security Coordinator (PSC).

Water Pump: Description and Operation
Water Pump The water pump is a centrifugal vane impeller type pump. The pump consists of a
housing with coolant inlet and outlet passages and an impeller. The impeller is mounted on the
pump shaft and consists of a series of flat or curved blades or vanes on a flat plate. When the
impeller rotates, the coolant between the vanes is thrown outward by centrifugal force.
The impeller shaft is supported by one or more sealed bearings. The sealed bearings never need
to be lubricated. Grease cannot leak out, dirt and water cannot get in as long as the seal is not
damaged or worn.
The purpose of the water pump is to circulate coolant throughout the cooling system. The water
pump is driven by the crankshaft via the drive belt.

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to update model years, add additional models and add additional
diagnostic information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 01-07-30-002D (Section 07 Transmission/Transaxle).
Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following conditions:
^ The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is ON.
^ The transmission is defaulted to second gear (4L80/85-E).
^ The transmission is defaulted to third gear (4L60/65-E).
^ The instrument cluster is inoperative.
Upon investigation, one or all of the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) P0740, P0753, P0758,
P0785, P0787, P0973, P0976, P1860, P2761, P2764 and P2769 may be set depending on the
vehicle.
Cause
The most likely cause of this condition may be a loss of voltage to the transmission solenoid power
supply circuit. This condition may also be the result of an incorrect installation of an aftermarket
electronic device such as a remote starter or alarm system.
Correction
Important:
If the vehicle is equipped with an aftermarket electronic device and the DTCs are being set when
the device is being used, verify that the appropriate fuse is being supplied battery voltage during
operation. If voltage is not present at this fuse, these DTCs will be set due to lack of voltage at the
solenoids. This condition is most likely to occur with an incorrectly installed remote starting system.
If this is the case, refer the customer to the installer of the system for corrections. ANY REPAIRS
DUE TO AFTERMARKET INSTALLATION OF ACCESSORIES IS A NON-WARRANTABLE ITEM.
1. With the ignition switch in the RUN position, test for battery voltage at the circuit fuse in the
transmission solenoid power supply circuit. Refer to the appropriate SI Document for the
transmission solenoid power supply circuit information.
2. If battery voltage is present at the fuse, inspect the ignition voltage circuit between the fuse and
the transmission for possible opens.
3. If battery voltage is not present at the fuse, test for continuity between the fuse and the ignition
switch. If NO continuity is between the fuse and the ignition switch, repair the open in that circuit.
4. If you have continuity between the fuse and the ignition switch, the most likely cause is the
ignition switch. Replace the ignition switch using the appropriate Ignition Switch Replacement
procedure in SI. Refer to group number 2.188 of the parts catalog for part description and usage of
the ignition switch.

When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200
frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not
lost if the Scan Tool is powered down.
The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis.
The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected
values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and
numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful,
especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC.
Testing For a Short To Voltage
TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to
1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4.
Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Testing for Continuity
TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 2. Disconnect the power feed
(i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX
button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6.
Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no
resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other
lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6.
If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity.
Testing For Electrical Intermittents
TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS
Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at
convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment.
- Testing for Short to Ground
- Testing for Continuity
- Testing for a Short to Voltage
If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200
DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J
39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected.
IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J
39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and
maximum (MAX) values measured.
1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of
a suspected circuit to the other. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC)
position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4.
Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 ms RECORD and emits an
audible tone (beep).

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

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

FLAT WIRE REPAIRS
NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists
within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.

This bulletin is being revised to add the new part numbers for the Spark Plugs and Ignition Coils.
Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-06-04-048A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion
System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that, after severe weather that includes large amounts of rain in a
short period of time, the engine has a rough idle and/or flashing MIL/SES light. Upon further
investigation, there may be the following DTC(s): P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305 or
P0306.
This condition can be aggravated if the vehicle is parked nose down on an incline during this type
of weather. The customer may also comment on repeat occurrences of this condition because
water may be passing over the Air Intake Plenum (AIP).
Cause
The dripping rain water onto the engine cam cover will collect at the coil(s) and may seep past the
coil(s) into the spark plug(s) well of the cylinder head and may affect the operation of the spark
plug(s) and coil(s), causing the misfire(s).
Correction
Before replacing the AIP seal, refer to Misfire diagnostics in SI to determine if water intrusion was
the cause of the misfire.
Diagnostic Aids for Misfire
Refer to SI for Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine Noises.
If no trouble found (NTF) using SI document on Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine
Noises, then refer to SI for Misfire DTC(s).
If Misfire diagnostic leads to the removal of the coil(s) and spark plug(s), refer to the following SI
Documents:
Air Cleaner Outlet Resonator Replacement
Ignition Coil Replacement Removal Procedure
Spark Plug Replacement
Coil(s) damage from water intrusion will have a film of white chalk build-up on the outside and
inside of the spark plug boot to ignition coil(s) assembly. If present, remove the spark plug(s) and
inspect for similar build-up on the outside of the spark plug(s).
If NTF with the coil(s) and spark plug(s), continue on with the Misfire Diagnostic in SI.

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

Symptom List
Page 9776
High Temperature Conditions
Tools Required J 25070 Heat Gun
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070.
Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses
under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault
condition.
The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal
operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis.
This option does not allow for the same control, however.
Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front
of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect.
If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that
provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to
-18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized
cooling needs.
Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or
components in an effort to duplicate the concern.

Conditions for Running the DTC
Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range of 9 - 16 volts.
DTCs B1327, B1328, U1300, U1301, U1305 are not set as current.
The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A message containing a critical operating parameter has not been received within the last 5
seconds after establishing class 2 serial data communication.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The module uses a default value for the missing parameter.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a
repeat of the malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
When a malfunction such as an open fuse to a module occurs while modules are communicating, a
DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is set current. When the modules stop
communicating the current DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is cleared but the
history DTC remains. When the modules begin to communicate again, the module with the open
fuse will not be learned by the other modules so U1000 or U1255 is set current by the other
modules. If the malfunction occurs when the modules are not communicating, only U1000 or
U1255 is set.

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

Condition
Some customers may comment that the ABS light is on. Upon further inspection, DTCs C0265 and
C0201 may be set in the brake module. It is also possible for DTC U1041 to set in other modules.
There may also be a loss of communication with the brake module.
Cause
A poor connection at the EBCM ground is causing unnecessary replacement of brake modules.
Important:
The EBCM ground is different for each application. Refer to the list below for the proper ground
reference:
^ Midsize Utilities = Ground 304
^ SSR = Ground 400
^ Fullsize Trucks and Utilities = Ground 110
Correction
Important:
Do not replace the brake module to correct this condition. Perform the following repair before
further diagnosis of the EBCM.
Perform the following steps to improve the connection of the EBCM Ground:
1. Remove the EBCM Ground. The EBCM Ground is located on the frame beneath the driver's side
door. If multiple grounds are found in this location, the EBCM ground can be identified as the heavy
(12-gauge) wire.
2. If the original fastener has a welded on nut, remove the nut from the frame, and if required,
enlarge the bolt hole to accommodate the new bolt and nut.
3. Clean the area, front and back, using a tool such as a *3M(TM) Scotch-Brite Roloc disc or
equivalent.

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

OnStar(R) Microphone
The OnStar(R), or cellular microphone, can be a part of the rearview mirror assembly, or on some
vehicle lines, a separate, stand alone unit.
In either case, the VCIM supplies approximately 10 volts to the microphone on the cellular
microphone signal circuit, and voice data from the user is sent back to the VCIM over the same
circuit. A cellular microphone low reference circuit or a drain wire provides a ground for the
microphone.
Cellular and GPS Antennas
The vehicle will be equipped with one of the following types of antennas:
^ Separate, stand-alone cellular and navigation (GPS) antennas.
^ A combination cellular and navigation (GPS) antenna, which brings the functions of both into a
single part.
^ A cellular, GPS, and digital radio receiver (DRR) antenna, which also incorporates the
functionality of the DRR satellite antenna (XM).
The cellular antenna is the component that allows the OnStar(R) system to send and receive data
using electromagnetic waves by means of cellular technology. The antenna is connected at the
base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM.
The GPS antenna is used to collect the signals of the orbiting GPS satellites. Within the antenna is
housed a low noise amplifier that allows for a more broad and precise reception of this data. The
antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The cable also
provides a path for DC current for powering the antenna.
The OnStar(R) Call Center also has the capability of communicating with the vehicle during an
OnStar(R) call to retrieve the latest GPS location and transmit it to the OnStar(R) Call Center. A
history location of the last recorded position of the vehicle is stored in the module and marked as
aged, for as long as the module power is not removed. Actual GPS location may take up to 10
minutes to register in the event of a loss of power.
Audio System Interface
When the OnStar(R) requires audio output, a serial data message is sent to the audio system to
mute all radio functions and transmit OnStar(R) originated audio. The OnStar(R) audio is
transmitted to the vehicle audio system by a dedicated signal circuit and a low reference circuit.
The audio system will mute and an audible ring will be heard though the speakers if the vehicle
receives a call with the radio ON.
On some vehicles, the HVAC blower speed may be reduced when the OnStar(R) system is active
to aid in reducing interior noise. When the system is no longer active, the blower speed will return
to its previous setting.
OnStar(R) Steering Wheel Controls
Some vehicles may have a button on the steering wheel, that when pushed can engage the
OnStar(R) system. The button may be a symbol of a face with sound waves, or may say MUTE, or
be a symbol of a radio speaker with a slash through it.
By engaging the OnStar(R) system with this feature, the user can interact with the system by use of
voice commands. A complete list of these commands is supplied in the information provided to the
customer. If the information is not available for reference, at any command prompt, the user can
say "HELP" and the VCIM will return an audible list of available commands.
The steering wheel controls consist of multiple momentary contact switches and a resistor network.
The switches and resistor network are arranged so that each switch has a different resistance
value. When a switch is pressed, a voltage drop occurs in the resistor network. This produces a
specific voltage value unique to the switch selected, to be interpreted by the radio or the body
control module (BCM).
OnStar(R) Power Moding (DRX or Sleep Cycle)
The OnStar(R) system uses a unique sleep cycle to allow the system to receive cellular calls while
the ignition is in the OFF position and retained accessory power (RAP) mode has ended.
A green status LED on the OnStar(R) keypad normally indicates an active OnStar(R) account. The
OnStar(R) system will stay powered up after ignition off for an extended time in order to allow for
remote services like door unlock, horn honk, light flash, etcetera to take place as requested by the
customer. Power cycle (also referred to as DRX) times vary depending on the generation of the
OnStar(R) system. Technicians may identify the OnStar(R) system generation by using a Tech 2
and following this menu path: (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by
accessing www.onstarenrollment.com
All Generation 6 digital systems are powered up continuously for 48 hours from ignition OFF. After
48 hours, the Generation 6 systems will enter a 9 minute OFF, 1 minute ON power cycle for an
additional 72 hours. At the beginning and end of the 1 minute ON stage, you may or may not
experience a short spike of current at the beginning and at the end. This allows for calls from
OnStar to be received by the system. After 120 hours from ignition OFF,

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

intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
- If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
- Wiring broken inside the insulation
- Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector.
- Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter, improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the
connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor
terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-C or the J 38125-4 Instruction Data for terminal identification.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2.
Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or
green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J 38125-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-C. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure
if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
- Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
- Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
- When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
- Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
- Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
- If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

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.

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor
The camshaft position (CMP) sensor is triggered by a notched reluctor wheel built into the exhaust
camshaft sprocket. The CMP sensor provides six signal pulses every camshaft revolution. Each
notch, or feature of the reluctor wheel is of a different size for individual cylinder identification. This
means the CMP and CKP signals are pulse width encoded to enable the PCM to constantly
monitor their relationship. This relationship is used to determine camshaft actuator position and
control its phasing at the correct value. The PCM also uses this signal to identify the compression
stroke of each cylinder, and for sequential fuel injection. The CMP sensor is connected to the PCM
by a 12-volt, low reference, and signal circuit.

circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested.
Connector Position Assurance Locks
CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS
The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of
all the SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate
apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR mating
terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance Locks
TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS
The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control
module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not
remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.

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

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
The supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system/supplemental restraint system (SRS) requires
special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific
procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system
terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.
The tool kit J 38125-C contains the following items:
- Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction Data
The sealed splices have the following 2 critical features:
- A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
- A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The J 38125-C also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items:
- A large sampling of common electrical terminals
- The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires
- The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-C. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.

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

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

Recall - Brake Pipe Scoring
File In Section: Product Recalls
Bulletin No.: 03025
Date: May, 2003
PRODUCT SAFETY RECALL
SUBJECT: 03025 - BRAKE PIPE SCORING
MODELS: 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER 2003 GMC ENVOY 2003 OLDSMOBILE BRAVADA
CONDITION
General Motors has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain
2003 model year Chevrolet TrailBlazer, GMC Envoy, and Oldsmobile Bravada vehicles. On some
of these vehicles, the front left brake pipe may have been scored during manufacturing. The brake
pipe may lose strength at the score location due to corrosion and fatigue resulting from brake fluid
pressure, vibration, and temperature changes. As a result of this, the brake pipe may eventually
fracture at the score location. If the brake pipe were to fracture, brake pedal travel would be
increased and front brake performance would be reduced. In these instances, braking would be
limited to that available with the remaining half system (rear brakes).
In all of the above cases, the brake light would illuminate after sufficient fluid leaked out of the
system to activate the low fluid level switch in the master cylinder reservoir. These conditions would
meet the half system requirements of MVSS 135.
CORRECTION
Dealers are to inspect the front left brake pipe and replace it, if necessary.
VEHICLES INVOLVED
Involved are certain 2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer, GMC Envoy, and Oldsmobile Bravada vehicles
built within the VIN breakpoints shown.
IMPORTANT:
Dealers should confirm vehicle eligibility through GMVIS (GM Vehicle Inquiry System) or GM
Access Screen (Canada only) or DCS Screen 445 (IPC only) before beginning recall repairs. [Not
all vehicles within the above breakpoints may be involved.]
Involved vehicles have been identified by Vehicle Identification Number. Computer listings
containing the complete Vehicle Identification Number, customer name and address data have
been prepared, and are being furnished to involved dealers with the recall bulletin. The customer
name and address data will enable dealers to follow up with customers involved in this recall. Any
dealer not receiving a computer listing with the recall bulletin has no involved vehicles currently
assigned.
These dealer listings may contain customer names and addresses obtained from Motor Vehicle
Registration Records. The use of such motor vehicle registration data for any other purpose is a
violation of law in several states/provinces/countries. Accordingly, you are urged to limit the use of
this listing to the follow-up necessary to complete this recall.

Subject: Intermittent Boom, Rumbling Noise and/or Disturbance Heard in Passenger Compartment
While Driving at Highway Speeds (Replace Rear Coil Springs)
Models: 2002-2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer 2002-2005 GMC Envoy with Rear Coil Springs
2003-2004 Oldsmobile Bravada with Rear Coil Springs
Built Prior to August 23, 2004
(Refer to Parts Information table below for applicable RPO Code usage)
Attention:
Do not perform this bulletin for vehicles built after 8/23/04.
Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add the breakpoint of 8/23/2004 for 2005 model year production
with an updated spring material. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-03-09-002B
(Section 03 - Suspension).
Condition
Some customers may comment on an intermittent booming, rumbling noise and/or disturbance
heard in the passenger compartment while driving the vehicle at highway speeds. This condition
occurs while driving at steady speeds between 1550-1700 engine RPM in 4th gear (NOT during
acceleration). This equates to 64-80 km/h (48-50 mph) for vehicles with a 4.10 axle ratio (RPO
GT5), 83-86 km/h (52-54 mph) with a 3.73 axle ratio (RPO GT4) and 93-96 km/h (58-60 mph) with
a 3.42 axle ratio (RPO GU6).
Cause
The noise/disturbance occurs when the torque converter momentarily goes to a full lock-up state,
resulting in zero slip of the torque converter. When the torque converter returns to normal ECCC
mode with 30 RPM of slip, the noise will go away. The disturbance generated by the zero slip
condition is amplified and transferred into the passenger compartment by the rear coil springs.
Correction
Replace the rear coil springs using the following service procedure.
Note:
Use care when handling the coil springs in order to avoid chipping or scratching the coating.
Damage to the coating will result in premature failure of the coil springs.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Support the front frame rail of the vehicle with a suitable adjustable jack stand.
3. Support the rear axle with a suitable adjustable jackstand.
4. Remove the two shock absorber lower mounting bolts.
5. Lower the rear axle enough to remove the tension on the rear coil springs.
6. Remove the rear coil springs.
Important:
^ It is critical that the correct coil springs are installed in the correct location.

Drive Belt: Description and Operation
Drive Belt System Description
The drive belt system consists of the following components:
- The drive belt
- The drive belt tensioner
- The drive belt idler pulley
- The crankshaft balancer pulley
- The accessory drive component mounting brackets
- The accessory drive components +
The power steering pump, if belt driven
+ The generator
+ The A/C compressor, if equipped
+ The engine cooling fan, if belt driven
+ The water pump, if belt driven
+ The vacuum pump, if equipped
+ The air compressor, if equipped
The drive belt system may use one belt or two belts. The drive belt is thin so that it can bend
backwards and has several ribs to match the grooves in the pulleys. There also may be a V-belt
style belt used to drive certain accessory drive components. The drive belts are made of different
types of rubbers (chloroprene or EPDM) and have different layers or plys containing either fiber
cloth or cords for reinforcement.
Both sides of the drive belt may be used to drive the different accessory drive components. When
the back side of the drive belt is used to drive a pulley, the pulley is smooth.
The drive belt is pulled by the crankshaft balancer pulley across the accessory drive component
pulleys. The spring loaded drive belt tensioner keeps constant tension on the drive belt to prevent
the drive belt from slipping. The drive belt tensioner arm will move when loads are applied to the
drive belt by the accessory drive components and the crankshaft.
The drive belt system may have an idler pulley, which is used to add wrap to the adjacent pulleys.
Some systems use an idler pulley in place of an accessory drive component when the vehicle is
not equipped with the accessory.

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

Date: April 21, 2011
Subject: Chemical Staining, Pitting, Corrosion and/or Spotted Appearance of Chromed Aluminum
Wheels
Models:
2012 and Prior GM Cars and Trucks
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update model years, suggest additional restorative
products and add additional corrosion information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number
00-03-10-002E (Section 03 - Suspension). Important You may give a copy of this bulletin to the
customer.
What is Chemical Staining of Chrome Wheels? Figure 1
Chemical staining in most cases results from acid based cleaners (refer to Figure 1 for an
example). These stains are frequently milky, black, or greenish in appearance. They result from
using cleaning solutions that contain acids on chrome wheels. Soap and water is usually sufficient
to clean wheels.
If the customer insists on using a wheel cleaner they should only use one that specifically states
that it is safe for chromed wheels and does not contain anything in the following list. (Dealers
should also survey any products they use during prep or normal cleaning of stock units for these
chemicals.)
- Ammonium Bifluoride (fluoride source for dissolution of chrome)
- Hydrofluoric Acid (directly dissolves chrome)
- Hydrochloric Acid (directly dissolves chrome)
- Sodium Dodecylbenzenesulfonic Acid
- Sulfamic Acid
- Phosphoric Acid
- Hydroxyacetic Acid
Notice
Many wheel cleaner instructions advise to take care to avoid contact with painted surfaces. Most
customers think of painted surfaces as the fenders, quarter panels and other exterior sheet metal.
Many vehicles have painted brake calipers. Acidic wheel cleaners may craze, crack, or discolor the
paint on the brake calipers. Damage from wheel cleaners is not covered under the vehicle new car
warranty. Soap and water applied with a soft brush is usually all that is required to clean the
calipers.
Whenever any wheel cleaner is used, it must be THOROUGHLY rinsed off of the wheel with clean,
clear water. Special care must be taken to rinse under the hub cap, balance weights, wheel nuts,
lug nut caps, between the wheel cladding and off the back side of the wheel. Wheels returned to
the Warranty Parts Center (WPC) that exhibit damage from wheel cleaners most often have the
damage around and under the wheel weight where the cleaner was incompletely flushed away.

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

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

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

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

contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to
test the circuit in question.
Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6.
If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is
a short to ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2.
Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across
the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered).
- When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
- If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter
TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
The J 39200 instruction Data is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is
present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with
a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance
that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
- Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving.
- 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.

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

1. Install the exhaust camshaft actuator into the timing chain. 2. Align the marked link of the timing
chain with the timing mark on the exhaust camshaft position actuator sprocket (1).
Important: Ensure the alignment pin is engaged between the camshaft and the exhaust camshaft
position actuator.
3. Install the exhaust camshaft actuator onto the exhaust camshaft.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct
part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of
thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints,
lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These
coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the
correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage
to parts and systems.
Notice: The camshaft actuator must be fully advanced during installation. Engine damage may
occur if the camshaft actuator is not fully advanced.
Important: Ensure the camshaft actuator is rotated clockwise relative to the camshaft prior to
tightening the bolt. Do not force the camshaft actuator to rotate clockwise. If it does not move
easily, it is already fully advanced. New camshaft actuators are already packaged in the fully
advanced (clockwise) position.
4. Install the exhaust camshaft actuator bolt.
- Tighten the exhaust camshaft actuator bolt the first pass to 25 Nm (18 lb ft).

investigation, there may be the following DTC(s): P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305 or
P0306.
This condition can be aggravated if the vehicle is parked nose down on an incline during this type
of weather. The customer may also comment on repeat occurrences of this condition because
water may be passing over the Air Intake Plenum (AIP).
Cause
The dripping rain water onto the engine cam cover will collect at the coil(s) and may seep past the
coil(s) into the spark plug(s) well of the cylinder head and may affect the operation of the spark
plug(s) and coil(s), causing the misfire(s).
Correction
Before replacing the AIP seal, refer to Misfire diagnostics in SI to determine if water intrusion was
the cause of the misfire.
Diagnostic Aids for Misfire
Refer to SI for Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine Noises.
If no trouble found (NTF) using SI document on Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine
Noises, then refer to SI for Misfire DTC(s).
If Misfire diagnostic leads to the removal of the coil(s) and spark plug(s), refer to the following SI
Documents:

Air Door Actuator / Motor: Description and Operation HVAC System - Automatic
HVAC SYSTEM - AUTOMATIC
AIR DELIVERY
DEFROST ACTUATOR
The defrost actuator is a 5 wire bi-directional electric motor that incorporates a feedback
potentiometer. Ignition 3 voltage,low reference, control, 5 voltreference and position signal circuits
enable the actuator to operate. The control circuit uses either a 0, 2.5 or 5 volt signal to command
the actuator movement. When the actuator is at rest, the control circuit value is 2.5 volts. A 0 or 5
volt control signal commands the actuator movement in opposite directions. When the actuator
shaft rotates, the potentiometer's adjustable contact changes the door position signal between 0-5
volts.
The HVAC control module uses a range of 0-255 counts to index the actuator position. The door
position signal voltage is converted to a 0-255 count range.When the module sets a commanded,
or targeted, value, the control signal is changed to either 0 or 5 volts depending upon the direction
that the actuator needs to rotate to reach the commanded value. As the actuator shaft rotates the
changing position signal is sent to the module. Once the position signal and the commanded value
are the same, the module changes the control signal to 2.5 volts.
MODE ACTUATOR
The mode actuator is a 5 wire bi-directional electric motor that incorporates a feedback
potentiometer. Ignition 3 voltage, low reference, control, 5-volt reference and position signal circuits
enable the actuator to operate. The control circuit uses either a 0, 2.5 or 5 volt signal to command
the actuator movement. When the actuator is at rest, the control circuit value is 2.5 volts. A 0 or 5
volt control signal commands the actuator movement in opposite directions. When the actuator
shaft rotates, the potentiometer's adjustable contact changes the door position signal between 0-5
volts.
The HVAC control module uses a range of 0-255 counts to index the actuator position. The door
position signal voltage is converted to a 0-255 count range.When the module sets a commanded,
or targeted, value, the control signal is changed to either 0 or 5 volts depending upon the direction
that the actuator needs to rotate to reach the commanded value. As the actuator shaft rotates the
changing position signal is sent to the module. Once the position signal and the commanded value
are the same, the module changes the control signal to 2.5 volts.
The mode actuator is an electronic stepper motor with feedback potentiometers. The HVAC control
module sends signals to the mode door actuator through the mode door control circuit. Zero volts
drives the actuator in one direction while 5 volts moves the actuator in the opposite direction. When
the actuator receives 2.5 volts, the actuator rotation stops. A 5-volt reference signal is sent out over
the 5 volt reference circuit to the mode actuator. When you select a desired mode setting, logic
determines the value of the mode actuator signals. The HVAC control module's software uses this
reference voltage in order to determine the position of the mode actuator through the mode door
position signal circuit. The motor moves the mode door to the desired position.
DEFROST ACTUATOR
The defrost actuator operates the same as the mode actuator. The HVAC control module sends
signals to the mode door actuator through the defrost door control circuit. Zero volts drives the
actuator in one direction while 5 volts moves the actuator in the opposite direction. When the
actuator receives 2.5 volts,the actuator rotation stops. A 5-volt reference signal is sent out over the
5-voltreference circuit to the defrost actuator. When you select a defrost setting, logic determines
the value of the defrost actuator signals. The HVAC control module's software uses this reference
voltage in order to determine the position of the mode actuator through the defrost door position
signal circuit. The motor moves the defrost door to the desired position.
AIR TEMPERATURE
AIR TEMPERATURE ACTUATOR
The air temperature actuators are a 5 wire bi-directional electric motor that incorporates a feedback
potentiometer. Ignition 3 voltage, low reference, control,5 volt reference and position signal circuits
enable the actuator to operate. The control circuit uses either a 0, 2.5 or 5 volt signal to command
the actuator movement. When the actuator is at rest, the control circuit value is 2.5 volts. A 0 or 5
volt control signal commands the actuator movement in opposite directions. When the actuator
shaft rotates, the potentiometer's adjustable contact changes the door position signal between 0-5

that the actuator needs to rotate to reach the commanded value. As the actuator shaft rotates the
changing position signal is sent to the module. Once the position signal and the commanded value
are the same, the module changes the control signal to 2.5 volts.

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

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

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

Attention:
This bulletin is being issued to provide dealer personnel with information and the procedures to
diagnose an upgraded OnStar(R) Generation 6 Digital-Capable system.
Program Overview
Since it was launched in 1996, OnStar® has relied on an analog wireless network to provide
communication to and from OnStar-equipped vehicles. As part of an industry wide change in the
North American wireless telecommunications industry, wireless carriers are transitioning to digital
technology and will no longer support the analog wireless network beginning early 2008.
Effective January 1, 2008, OnStar(R) service in the United States and Canada will be available
only through vehicles that are capable of operating on the digital network.
Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-08-46-006H for information about upgrading certain
vehicles to digital service. Details were covered in both the November 2006 and December 2007
issues of TechLink, which are available in the Archives of the TechLink website.
Vehicles eligible for an OnStar(R) hardware upgrade are listed in this bulletin. Vehicle
upgradeability can also be determined by typing the VIN into the field entitled "Determine VIN
Hardware Functionality" on the OnStar(R) Online Enrollment website, located in the sales or
service workbench tab of GM GlobalConnect. Canadian Dealers can use a similar tool that is
available within the OnStar(R) Canada Online Enrollment site that can be accessed from the
OnStar(R) Brand Resources in GlobalConnect.
Access to the sales and/or service workbench in the GM GlobalConnect website can be granted by
the dealership's Partner Security Coordinator (PSC).

2007 Model Year Vehicles and Newer all have Digital OnStar(R) Modules.
Part 1
OnStar(R) Description and Operation
This OnStar(R) digital system consists of the following components:
^ Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
^ OnStar(R) button assembly
^ Microphone
^ Cellular antenna
^ Navigation antenna
Note
This system also interfaces with the factory installed vehicle audio system.
Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) is a cellular device that allows the user to
communicate data and voice signals over the national cellular network. Power is provided by a
dedicated, fused B+ circuit. Ground is provided through the vehicle wiring harness attached to the
module. The ignition state is determined by the VCIM through serial data messaging.
Dedicated circuits are used to connect the VCIM to a microphone, the button assembly, and to
command the status LED. The VCIM communicates with the rest of the vehicle modules using the
serial data bus.
The module houses 2 technology systems, one to process GPS data, and another for cellular
information. The cellular system connects the OnStar(R) system to the cellular carrier's
communication system by interacting with the national cellular infrastructure. The module sends
and receives all cellular communications over the cellular antenna and cellular antenna coax. GPS
satellites orbiting earth are constantly transmitting signals of their current location. The OnStar(R)
system uses the GPS signals to provide location on demand.
The module also has the capability of activating the horn, initiating door lock/unlock, or activating
the exterior lamps using the serial data circuits. These functions can be commanded by the
OnStar(R) Call Center per: a customer request.
OnStar(R) Button Assembly
The OnStar(R) button assembly may be part of the rearview mirror, or a separate, stand alone unit.
The button assembly is comprised of 3 buttons and a status LED. The buttons are defined as
follows:
^ The answer/end call button, which is black with a white phone icon, allows the user to answer
and end calls or initiate speech recognition.
^ The blue OnStar(R) call center button, which displays the OnStar(R) logo, allows the user to
connect to the OnStar(R) call center.
^ The emergency button, which displays a white cross with a red background, sends a high priority
emergency call to the OnStar(R) call center when pressed.
The VCIM supplies 10 volts to the OnStar(R) button assembly on the keypad supply voltage circuit.
When pressed, each button completes a circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be
returned to the VCIM on the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned the
VCIM is able to identify which button has been pressed.
The OnStar(R) status LED is located with the button assembly. The LED is green when the system
is ON and operating normally. When the status LED is green and flashing, it is an indication that a
call is in progress. When the LED is red, this indicates a system malfunction is present. In the event
there is a system malfunction and the OnStar(R) system is still able to make a call, the LED will
flash red during the call.
If the LED does not illuminate, this may indicate that the customers OnStar(R) subscription is not
active or has expired. Push the blue OnStar button to connect to an advisor who can then verify the
account status.
Each LED is controlled by the VCIM over dedicated LED signal circuits. Ground for the LED is
provided by the wiring harness attached to the button assembly.

If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-C. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure
if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
- Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
- Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
- When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
- Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
- Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
- If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

Ride/Trim Height Inspection Procedure
Alignment: Service and Repair Ride/Trim Height Inspection Procedure
TRIM HEIGHT MEASUREMENTS
Trim height is a predetermined measurement relating to vehicle ride height. Incorrect trim heights
can cause bottoming out over bumps, damage to 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 prior to measuring trim heights: ^
Make sure the vehicle is on a level surface, such as an alignment rack.
^ Set the tire pressures to specifications.
^ Check the fuel level. Add additional weight if necessary to simulate a full tank.
^ To ensure proper weight distribution make sure the rear storage compartment is empty.
^ Close the doors and hood.
Z Height Measurement - Front
The Z height measurement determines the proper ride height for the front end of the vehicle.
Vehicles equipped with torsion bars use an adjusting arm to adjust the Z height. Vehicles without
torsion bars have no adjustment and may require replacement of suspension components.
Important: All dimensions are measured vertical to the ground.
1. Place hands on the front bumper and jounce the front of the vehicle. Make sure that there is at
least 38 mm (1.5 inch) of movement while
jouncing.
2. Allow the vehicle to settle into position.
3. Measure from the pivot bolt center line (3) down to the lower corner (5) of the lower ball joint (1)
in order to obtain the Z height measurement (4). 4. Repeat the jouncing operation and
measurement 2 more times for a total of 3 times. 5. Use the highest and lowest measurements to
calculate the average height. 6. The true Z height dimension number is the average of the high and
the low measurements.
Cross vehicle Z heights should be within 24 mm (0.9 inch).
7. If these measurements are out of specifications, inspect for the following conditions:
^ Sagging front suspension.
^ Collision damage.
D Height Measurement - Rear
The D height measurement determines the proper ride height for the rear end of the vehicle. There
is no adjustment procedure. Repair may require replacement of suspension components.
Important: All dimensions are measured vertical to the ground.
1. Place hands on the rear bumper and jounce the rear of the vehicle. Make sure that there is at
least 38 mm (1.5 inch) of movement while jouncing. 2. Allow the vehicle to settle into position.

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

Basic Knowledge Required
BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED
Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures. You
should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current
(amps) and resistance (ohms). You should understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a
shorted wire. You should be able to read and understand a wiring diagram.
Checking Aftermarket Accessories
CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES
Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits:
CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions.
- SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol.
NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions.
- OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol.
Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical
problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on
accessories are not the cause of the problems.
Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include:
- Power feeds connected to points other than the battery
- Antenna location
- Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring
- Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line
- Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS
In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness
if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide
variety of actions, including:
- Wiggling the harness
- Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
- Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
- Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
- Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load
the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks,
jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by
manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short
and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max
mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results.
Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide
good results as well.
There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the
fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other
conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions,
along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the
circuit to these kinds of conditions.
Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in
water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance
the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more
readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture.
Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5
percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's
own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is
completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan
tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously.
Page 12793
Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors.
Backprobe
IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
- Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector.
- Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
- After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a
trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot.
The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows
comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a
first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be
lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
- Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
- Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information
Page 423
A current DTC clears when the condition for setting the DTC is no longer present.
A history DTC clears after 50 malfunction-free ignition cycles.

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

Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6.
If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is
a short to ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2.
Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across
the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered).
- When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
- If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter
TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
The J 39200 instruction Data is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is
present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with
a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance
that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
- Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving.
- 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.

Description and Operation
Coolant Reservoir: Description and Operation
Coolant Recovery System The coolant recovery system consists of a plastic coolant recovery
reservoir and overflow tube. The recovery reservoir is also called a recovery tank or expansion
tank. This reservoir is partially filled with coolant and is connected to the radiator fill neck with the
overflow tube. Coolant can flow back and forth between the radiator and the reservoir.
In effect, a cooling system with a coolant recovery reservoir is a closed system. When the pressure
in the cooling system gets too high, the pressure valve opens in the pressure cap. This allows the
coolant, which has expanded due to being heated is allowed to flow through the overflow tube and
into the recovery reservoir. As the engine cools down, the temperature of the coolant drops and a
vacuum is created in the cooling system. This vacuum opens the vacuum valve in the pressure
cap, allowing some of the coolant in the reservoir to be siphoned back into the radiator. Under
normal operating conditions, coolant is not lost. Although the coolant level in the recovery reservoir
goes up and down, the radiator and cooling system are kept full. An advantage to using a coolant
recovery reservoir is that most of the air bubbles are eliminated from the cooling system. Coolant
without bubbles absorbs heat much better than coolant with bubbles.

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.

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

If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-C. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure
if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
- Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
- Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
- When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
- Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
- Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
- If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

This bulletin is being revised to add the new part numbers for the Spark Plugs and Ignition Coils.
Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-06-04-048A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion
System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that, after severe weather that includes large amounts of rain in a
short period of time, the engine has a rough idle and/or flashing MIL/SES light. Upon further
investigation, there may be the following DTC(s): P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305 or
P0306.
This condition can be aggravated if the vehicle is parked nose down on an incline during this type
of weather. The customer may also comment on repeat occurrences of this condition because
water may be passing over the Air Intake Plenum (AIP).
Cause
The dripping rain water onto the engine cam cover will collect at the coil(s) and may seep past the
coil(s) into the spark plug(s) well of the cylinder head and may affect the operation of the spark
plug(s) and coil(s), causing the misfire(s).
Correction
Before replacing the AIP seal, refer to Misfire diagnostics in SI to determine if water intrusion was
the cause of the misfire.
Diagnostic Aids for Misfire
Refer to SI for Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine Noises.
If no trouble found (NTF) using SI document on Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine
Noises, then refer to SI for Misfire DTC(s).
If Misfire diagnostic leads to the removal of the coil(s) and spark plug(s), refer to the following SI
Documents:
Air Cleaner Outlet Resonator Replacement
Ignition Coil Replacement Removal Procedure
Spark Plug Replacement
Coil(s) damage from water intrusion will have a film of white chalk build-up on the outside and
inside of the spark plug boot to ignition coil(s) assembly. If present, remove the spark plug(s) and
inspect for similar build-up on the outside of the spark plug(s).
If NTF with the coil(s) and spark plug(s), continue on with the Misfire Diagnostic in SI.
Replace any coil and spark plug that has been diagnosed to be damaged from water intrusion. To
prevent a reoccurrence, follow repair information outlined in this bulletin to replace the AIP seal.

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

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

Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6.
If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is
a short to ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2.
Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across
the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered).
- When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
- If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter
TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
The J 39200 instruction Data is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is
present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with
a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance
that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
- Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving.
- 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.

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add the 2006 model year and update the calibration release date.
Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 05-01-39-002 (Section 01 - HVAC).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a musty odor from the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning
(HVAC) system. This condition occurs most often on initial start up after the vehicle was driven on
a hot humid day.
Cause
This condition may be caused by condensate build-up on the evaporator core, which does not
evaporate by itself in high humidity conditions.
Correction
Important:
The afterblow function should not be enabled until after the purpose and operation of it is explained
to your customer and they approve of the change. Once the afterblow function is enabled there are
no calibrations currently released to disable it.
Technicians are to reprogram the HVAC Control Module with an updated software calibration that
will enable the afterblow function. The new calibration will be released beginning with TIS satellite
data update version 2.0, which was made available February 5, 2006. The blower motor will turn on
approximately 10 minutes after the vehicle is shut off. The blower motor will run continuously for 10
minutes at a 30% duty cycle. The afterblow function will only activate if the air conditioning
compressor was engaged during conditions of high ambient temperature. If the vehicle is started
within 10 minutes of the last key off, the afterblow function from the previous key cycle will be
cancelled.
Technicians should not attempt to reprogram a vehicle with a Manual Temperature Control HVAC
system (RPO CJ3).
Technicians should perform this HVAC Control Module reprogram instead of installing the
Electronic Evaporator Dryer Module Kit referred to in the Air Conditioning Odor bulletin, Corporate
Bulletin Number 99-01-39-004A.

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

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).

Key and Lock Cylinder Coding
KEY AND LOCK CYLINDER CODING
KEY IDENTIFICATION AND USAGE
The lock cylinder keyway is designed so that other model keys will not enter a current model lock
cylinder. A single key is used for all locks on the vehicle.
The key identification is obtained from the four-character key code stamped on the knockout
portion of the key head. Knock the plugs out of the key head after code numbers have been
recorded. The code list, available to owners of key cutting equipment from equipment suppliers,
determines the lock combinations from the code numbers.
CUTTING KEYS
After the code has been determined from the code list or the key code diagram, perform the
following steps:
1. Cut a blank key to the proper level of each of the tumbler positions. 2. Inspect the key operation
in the lock cylinder.
REPLACEMENT LOCK CYLINDERS

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.

Date: April 21, 2011
Subject: Chemical Staining, Pitting, Corrosion and/or Spotted Appearance of Chromed Aluminum
Wheels
Models:
2012 and Prior GM Cars and Trucks
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update model years, suggest additional restorative
products and add additional corrosion information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number
00-03-10-002E (Section 03 - Suspension). Important You may give a copy of this bulletin to the
customer.
What is Chemical Staining of Chrome Wheels? Figure 1
Chemical staining in most cases results from acid based cleaners (refer to Figure 1 for an
example). These stains are frequently milky, black, or greenish in appearance. They result from
using cleaning solutions that contain acids on chrome wheels. Soap and water is usually sufficient
to clean wheels.
If the customer insists on using a wheel cleaner they should only use one that specifically states
that it is safe for chromed wheels and does not contain anything in the following list. (Dealers
should also survey any products they use during prep or normal cleaning of stock units for these
chemicals.)
- Ammonium Bifluoride (fluoride source for dissolution of chrome)
- Hydrofluoric Acid (directly dissolves chrome)
- Hydrochloric Acid (directly dissolves chrome)
- Sodium Dodecylbenzenesulfonic Acid
- Sulfamic Acid
- Phosphoric Acid
- Hydroxyacetic Acid
Notice
Many wheel cleaner instructions advise to take care to avoid contact with painted surfaces. Most
customers think of painted surfaces as the fenders, quarter panels and other exterior sheet metal.
Many vehicles have painted brake calipers. Acidic wheel cleaners may craze, crack, or discolor the
paint on the brake calipers. Damage from wheel cleaners is not covered under the vehicle new car
warranty. Soap and water applied with a soft brush is usually all that is required to clean the
calipers.
Whenever any wheel cleaner is used, it must be THOROUGHLY rinsed off of the wheel with clean,
clear water. Special care must be taken to rinse under the hub cap, balance weights, wheel nuts,
lug nut caps, between the wheel cladding and off the back side of the wheel. Wheels returned to
the Warranty Parts Center (WPC) that exhibit damage from wheel cleaners most often have the
damage around and under the wheel weight where the cleaner was incompletely flushed away.

^ I/O check
Any faults detected during the initialization self-test shall generate a DTC. All nodes also
continuously perform a self-test while in an active state.
DTCs and their associated telltales will set as a result of unprogrammed or unlearned information.
DTCs, which are defined for system configuration (e.g. Vehicle Option Content not programmed)
do not support the history status bit (set =0). Warning indicator bit is also set, when applicable,
while this DTC is present.
Action Taken When the DTCs Sets
The module suspends all message transmission.
The module uses default values for all parameters received on the serial data circuits.
The module inhibits the setting of all other communication DTCs.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 50,
without a repeat of the malfunction.
Circuit/System Verification
Refer to Data Link References to determine which serial data system is used for a specific module.
The DTCs cannot be retrieved with a current status. Diagnosis is accomplished using the following
symptom procedures:
Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with High Speed GMLAN Device in SI.
OR
Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with Low Speed GMLAN Device in SI.
DTC U1300, U1301, or U1305
Circuit Description
Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during
normal vehicle operation.
Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. In addition to this, Node
Alive messages are transmitted by each module on the Class 2 serial data circuit about once every
2 seconds. When the module detects one of the following conditions on the Class 2 serial data
circuit for approximately 3 seconds, the setting of all other Class 2 serial communication DTCs is
inhibited and a DTC will set.
Conditions for Running the DTCs
Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range.
The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur.
Conditions for Setting the DTCs
No valid messages are detected on the Class 2 serial data circuit.
The voltage level detected on the Class 2 serial data circuit is in one of the following conditions:
Page 3884
When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200
frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not
lost if the Scan Tool is powered down.
The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis.
The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected
values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and
numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful,
especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC.
Testing For a Short To Voltage
TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to
1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4.

The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 2. Disconnect the power feed
(i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX
button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6.
Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no
resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other
lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6.
If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity.
Testing For Electrical Intermittents
TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS
Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at
convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment.
- Testing for Short to Ground
- Testing for Continuity
- Testing for a Short to Voltage
If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200
DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J
39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected.
IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J
39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and
maximum (MAX) values measured.
1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of
a suspected circuit to the other. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC)
position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4.
Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 ms RECORD and emits an
audible tone (beep).

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

IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value
in order to record the full change.
5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling
the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations.
6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has
been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the
value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9.
Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values.
- If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 volt or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
- If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
- Wiring broken inside the insulation
- Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector.
- Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter, improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the
connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor
terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-C or the J 38125-4 Instruction Data for terminal identification.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2.
Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or
green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J 38125-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
Page 10385
Steps 4-6
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table. 1. This step verifies that the
RAP power mode function is malfunctioning by checking functions internally enabled by the BCM.
4. The BCM sends Class 2 messages to other control modules via the serial data link, allowing
them to operate in RAP power mode. Lack of
communication may be due to a partial malfunction of the class 2 serial data circuit or due to a total
malfunction of the class 2 serial data circuit. The specified procedure will determine the particular
condition.
5. This step is checking for DTCs in the BCM. 6. The presence of DTCs which begin with "U"
indicate that other module is not communicating. The specified procedure will compile all the
available information before tests are performed.

Alignment: Description and Operation
Caster Description
Caster is the tilting of the uppermost point of the steering axis either forward or backward, when
viewed from the side of the vehicle. A backward tilt is positive (+) and a forward tilt is negative (-).
Caster influences directional control of the steering but does not affect the tire wear and is not
adjustable on this vehicle. Caster is affected by the vehicle height, therefore it is important to keep
the body at its designed height. Overloading the vehicle or a weak or sagging rear spring will affect
caster. When the rear of the vehicle is lower than its designated trim height, the front suspension
moves to a more positive caster. If the rear of the vehicle is higher than its designated trim height,
the front suspension moves to a less positive caster. With too little positive caster, steering may be
touchy at high speed and wheel returnability may be diminished when coming out of a turn. If one
wheel has more positive caster than the other, that wheel will pull toward the center of the vehicle.
This condition will cause the vehicle to pull or lead to the side with the least amount of positive
caster.
Camber Description
Camber 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.

Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6.
If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is
a short to ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2.
Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across
the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered).
- When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
- If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter
TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
The J 39200 instruction Data is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is
present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with
a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance
that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
- Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving.
- Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a
component or to other harnesses.
- If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used in
order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.

6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the
middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper
handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing:
- The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
- A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-C if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA
ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to
ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the
plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated
in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a
terminal for replacement.
Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

1. Open the harness.
- If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
- To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
- If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire.
2. Cut the wire.
- Cut as little wire off the harness as possible.
- Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and
connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage.
3. Select the proper size and type of wire.
- The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link).
- The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating.

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

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.

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

During the 2004 model year, there was a design change made to the engine oil pick up tube and
the front cover as shown. The first design parts used in production for 2002, 2003 and part of 2004
model year used an 0-ring type seal between the pick up tube and the front cover. The second
design parts began production during the 2004 model year and use a face type seal.
Anytime the front cover or oil pick up tube are being serviced, be sure to identify which design is
being serviced. The correct pick up tube must be used with its corresponding front cover or an
engine failure could result.
Any vehicle requiring a new front cover must be serviced with the second design front cover,
therefore, the engine oil pick up tube must be replaced at the same time.

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
The supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system/supplemental restraint system (SRS) requires
special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific
procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system
terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.
The tool kit J 38125-C contains the following items:
- Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction Data
The sealed splices have the following 2 critical features:
- A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
- A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The J 38125-C also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items:
- A large sampling of common electrical terminals
- The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires
- The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-C. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.

Low Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation HVAC System - Automatic
HVAC SYSTEM - AUTOMATIC
A/C LOW PRESSURE SWITCH
The A/C low pressure switch protects the A/C system from a low pressure condition that could
damage the A/C compressor or cause evaporator icing. The HVAC control module applies 12 volts
to the A/C low pressure switch signal circuit. The switch will open when the A/C low side pressure
reaches 124 kPa (18 psi). This prevents the A/C compressor from operating. The switch will then
close when A/C low pressure side reaches 275 kPa (40 psi). This enables the A/C compressor to
turn back ON.

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

intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
- If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
- Wiring broken inside the insulation
- Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector.
- Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter, improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the
connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor
terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-C or the J 38125-4 Instruction Data for terminal identification.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2.
Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or
green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J 38125-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200
frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not
lost if the Scan Tool is powered down.
The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis.
The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected
values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and
numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful,
especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC.
Testing For a Short To Voltage
TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to
1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4.
Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Testing for Continuity
TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 2. Disconnect the power feed
(i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX
button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6.
Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no
resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other
lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6.
If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity.
Testing For Electrical Intermittents
TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS
Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at
convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment.
- Testing for Short to Ground
- Testing for Continuity
- Testing for a Short to Voltage
If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200
DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J
39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected.
IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J
39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and
maximum (MAX) values measured.
1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of
a suspected circuit to the other. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC)
position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4.

Refrigerant: Service and Repair
REFRIGERANT RECOVERY AND RECHARGING
TOOLS REQUIRED
- J 43600 ACR 2000 Air Conditioning Service Center
- J 45037 A/C Oil Injector
CAUTION: Avoid breathing the A/C Refrigerant 134a (R-134a) and the lubricant vapor or the mist.
Exposure may irritate the eyes, nose, and
throat. Work in a well ventilated area.
In order to remove R-134a from the A/C system, use service equipment that is certified to meet the
requirements of SAE J 2210 (R-134a recycling equipment). If an accidental system discharge
occurs, ventilate the work area before continuing service. Additional health and safety information
may be obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
For personal protection, goggles and gloves should be worn and a clean cloth wrapped around
fittings, valves, and connections when doing work that includes opening the refrigerant system. If
R-134a comes in contact with any part of the body severe frostbite and personal injury can result.
The exposed area should be flushed immediately with cold water and prompt medical help should
be obtained.
NOTE: R-134a is the only approved refrigerant for use in this vehicle. The use of any other
refrigerant may result in poor system performance or
component failure.
To avoid system damage use only R-134a dedicated tools when servicing the A/C system.
Use only Polyalkylene Glycol Synthetic Refrigerant Oil (PAG) for internal circulation through the
R-134a A/C system and only 525 viscosity mineral oil on fitting threads and O-rings. If lubricants
other than those specified are used, compressor failure and/or fitting seizure may result.
R-12 refrigerant and R-134a refrigerant must never be mixed, even in the smallest of amounts, as
they are incompatible with each other. If the refrigerants are mixed, compressor failure is likely to
occur.
The J 43600 is a complete air conditioning service center for R-134a. The ACR 2000 recovers,
recycles, evacuates and recharges A/C refrigerant quickly, accurately and automatically.
The unit has a display screen that contains the function controls and displays prompts that will lead
the technician through the recover, recycle, evacuate and recharge operations.
R-134a is recovered into and charged out of an internal storage vessel. The ACR 2000
automatically replenishes this vessel from an external source tank in order to maintain a constant
5.45-6.82 kg (12-15 lbs) of A/C refrigerant.
The ACR 2000 has a built in A/C refrigerant identifier that will test for contamination, prior to
recovery and will notify the technician if there are foreign gases present in the A/C system.
If foreign gases are present, the ACR 2000 will not recover the refrigerant from the A/C system.
The ACR 2000 also features automatic air purge, single pass recycling and an automatic oil drain.
Refer to the J 43600 ACR 2000 manual for operation and setup instruction.
Always recharge the A/C System with the proper amount of R-134a. Refer to Refrigerant System
Capacities for the correct amount.

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

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
Engine Compression Test
Tools Required J 38722 Compression Tester
A compression pressure test of the engine cylinders determines the condition of the rings, the
valves, and the head gasket.
Important: The battery must be at or near full charge.
1. Remove the air duct from the throttle control module. 2. Remove the ignition control modules. 3.
Disable the fuel system.
4. Remove the spark clues. 5. Measure the engine compression, using the following procedure:
5.1. Firmly install J 38722 to the spark plug hole.
5.2. Have an assistant crank the engine through at least four compression strokes in the testing
cylinder.
5.3. Check and record the readings on J 38722 at each stroke.
5.4. Disconnect J 38722.
5.5. Repeat the compression test for each cylinder.
6. Record the compression readings from all of the cylinders. A normal reading should be
approximately 1482 kPa (215 psi). The lowest reading
should not be less than 70 percent of the highest reading.
7. The following are examples of the possible measurements:
- When the compression measurement is normal, the compression builds up quickly and evenly to
the specified compression on each cylinder.
- When the compression is low on the first stroke and tends to build up on the following strokes, but
does not reach the normal compression, or if the compression improves considerably with the
addition of three squirts of oil, the piston rings may be the cause.
- When the compression is low on the first stroke and does not build up in the following strokes, or
the addition of oil does not affect the compression, the valves may be the cause.
- When the compression is low on two adjacent cylinders, or coolant is present in the crankcase,
the head gasket may be the cause.
8. Install the air duct to the throttle body. 9. Install the spark plugs.
10. Enable the fuel system. 11. Install the ignition control modules.

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

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

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

the camshaft flats up and the number 1 cylinder at top dead center.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct
part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of
thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints,
lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These
coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the
correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage
to parts and systems.
Important: Install the camshaft caps onto their original locations. The camshaft caps are pin
stamped for direction and numerical order.

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.

System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that, after severe weather that includes large amounts of rain in a
short period of time, the engine has a rough idle and/or flashing MIL/SES light. Upon further
investigation, there may be the following DTC(s): P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305 or
P0306.
This condition can be aggravated if the vehicle is parked nose down on an incline during this type
of weather. The customer may also comment on repeat occurrences of this condition because
water may be passing over the Air Intake Plenum (AIP).
Cause
The dripping rain water onto the engine cam cover will collect at the coil(s) and may seep past the
coil(s) into the spark plug(s) well of the cylinder head and may affect the operation of the spark
plug(s) and coil(s), causing the misfire(s).
Correction
Before replacing the AIP seal, refer to Misfire diagnostics in SI to determine if water intrusion was
the cause of the misfire.
Diagnostic Aids for Misfire
Refer to SI for Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine Noises.
If no trouble found (NTF) using SI document on Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine
Noises, then refer to SI for Misfire DTC(s).
If Misfire diagnostic leads to the removal of the coil(s) and spark plug(s), refer to the following SI
Documents:

Inflatable Restraint Sensing And Diagnostic Module: Description and Operation
INFLATABLE RESTRAINT SENSING AND DIAGNOSTIC MODULE (SDM)
The Sensing And Diagnostic Module (SDM) is a microprocessor and the control center for the SIR
system. The SDM contains internal sensors along with several external sensors, if equipped,
mounted at strategic locations on the vehicle. In the event of a collision, the SDM compares the
signals from the internal and external sensors to a value stored in memory. When the generated
signals exceed the stored value, the SDM will cause current to flow through the appropriate
deployment loops to deploy the air bags. The SDM records the SIR system status when a
deployment occurs and turns the AIR BAG indicator located in the IPC ON. The SDM performs
continuous diagnostic monitoring of the SIR system electrical components and circuitry when the
ignition is turned ON. If the SDM detects a malfunction, a DTC will be stored and the SDM will
command the AIR BAG indicator ON, notifying the driver that a malfunction exist. In the event that
ignition positive voltage is lost during a collision, the SDM maintains a 23-volt loop reserve (23
VLR) for deployment of the air bags. It is important when disabling the SIR system for servicing or
rescue operations to allow the 23 VLR to dissipate, which could take up to 1 minute.

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

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

contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to
test the circuit in question.
Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6.
If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is
a short to ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2.
Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across
the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered).
- When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
- If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter
TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
The J 39200 instruction Data is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is
present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with
a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance
that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
- Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving.
- 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.

Test Description
DTC U1001 and U1254
Circuit/System Description
Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during
normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the
modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module
records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health
monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the
module use a default value for that parameter. Once an identification number is learned by a
module, it will monitor for that module's Node Alive message. Each module on the class 2 serial
data circuit which is powered and performing functions that require detection of a communications
malfunction is required to send a Node Alive message every 2 seconds. When no message is
detected from a learned identification number for 5 seconds, a DTC U1XXX where XXX is equal to
the 3-digit identification number is set.

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

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

Fuel Injector Coil Test
Fuel Injector: Testing and Inspection Fuel Injector Coil Test
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The control module enables the appropriate fuel injector pulse for each cylinder. Ignition voltage is
supplied directly to the fuel injectors. The control module controls each fuel injector by grounding
the control circuit via a solid state device called a driver. A fuel injector coil winding resistance that
is too high or too low will affect engine driveability. A fuel injector control circuit DTC may not set,
but a misfire may be apparent. The fuel injector coil windings are affected by temperature. The
resistance of the fuel injector coil windings will increase as the temperature of the fuel injector
increases.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
- Monitoring the misfire current counters, or misfire graph, may help to isolate the fuel injector that
is causing the condition.
- Operating the vehicle over a wide temperature range may help isolate the fuel injector that is
causing the condition.
- Perform the fuel injector coil test within the conditions of the customer's concern. A fuel injector
condition may only be apparent at a certain temperature, or under certain conditions.

Coolant Reimbursement Policy
General Motors supports the use of recycled engine coolant for warranty repairs/service, providing
a GM approved engine coolant recycling system is used. Recycled coolant will be reimbursed at
the GMSPO dealer price for new coolant plus the appropriate mark-up. When coolant replacement
is required during a warranty repair, it is crucial that only the relative amount of engine coolant
concentrate be charged, not the total diluted volume. In other words: if you are using two gallons of
pre-diluted (50:50) recycled engine coolant to service a vehicle, you may request reimbursement
for one gallon of GM Goodwrench engine coolant concentrate at the dealer price plus the
appropriate warranty parts handling allowance.

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

Door Switch: Description and Operation
DOOR AJAR SWITCHES
The CTD system uses the rear door ajar switches in the door lock assemblies as one method to
activate the alarm. The body control module (BCM) monitors rear door ajar switches via a discrete
input from each rear passenger door ajar switch, if the BCM receives a ground signal from a rear
passenger door ajar switch when the CTD system is armed, the BCM activates the alarm.
The CTD system uses the LH front door ajar switch as one method to activate the alarm. The driver
door module (DDM) monitors the LH door ajar switch via a discreet input from the door ajar switch,
if the DDM receives a ground signal from the LH door ajar switch when the CTD system is armed
the message is communicated through the serial data circuit to the BCM and the alarm is activated.
The CTD system uses the RH front door ajar switch as one method to activate the alarm. The
passenger door module (PDM) monitors the RH door ajar switch via a discreet input from the door
ajar switch, if the PDM receives a ground signal from the RH door ajar switch when the CTD
system is armed the message is communicated through the serial data circuit to the BCM and the
alarm is activated.
The CTD system uses the rear compartment liftgate/liftglass ajar switchs as one method to activate
the alarm. The liftgate module (LGM) monitors the liftgate and liftglass ajar switch via a discreet
input from the ajar switch, if the LGM receives a ground signal from the liftgate or liftglass ajar
switch when the CTD system is armed the message is communicated through the serial data circuit
to the BCM and the alarm is activated.

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

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

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

A/C LOW PRESSURE SWITCH
The A/C low pressure switch protects the A/C system from a low pressure condition that could
damage the A/C compressor or cause evaporator icing.
The HVAC control module applies 12 volts to the A/C low pressure switch signal circuit. The switch
will open when the A/C low side pressure reaches 124 kPa (18 psi).
This prevents the A/C compressor from operating. The switch will then close when A/C low
pressure side reaches 275 kPa (40 psi). This enables the A/C compressor to turn back ON.

Camshaft Actuator System
Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Camshaft Actuator System
CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) ACTUATOR SYSTEM
The Camshaft Position Actuator system is used for a variety of engine performance enhancements.
These enhancements include lower emission output through exhaust gas recirculation control, a
wider engine torque range, improved gas millage, and improved engine idle stability. The CMP
Actuator system accomplishes this by controlling the amount of intake and exhaust valve overlap.
CMP ACTUATOR SYSTEM OPERATION
The CMP Actuator system is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM sends
a pulse width modulated 12 volt signal to a Camshaft Position (CMP) Actuator Solenoid in order to
control the amount of engine oil flow to a cam Phaser passage. There are two different passages
for oil to flow through, a passage for cam advance and a passage for cam retard. The Cam Phaser
is attached to a camshaft and is hydraulically operated in order to change the angle of the camshaft
relative to crankshaft position. Engine oil pressure, viscosity, temperature and engine oil level can
have an adverse affect on cam phaser performance. The PCM calculates the optimum cam
position through the following inputs: Engine Speed
- Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP)
- Throttle Position (TP) Indicated Angle
- Crankshaft Position (CKP)
- Camshaft Position (CMP)
- Engine Load.
- Barometric (BARO) Pressure
The Cam Phaser default position is 0 degrees. The PCM uses the following inputs before assuming
control of the cam phaser: Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
- Closed Loop Fuel Control
- Engine Oil Temperature
- Engine Oil Pressure
- Engine Oil Level
- CMP Actuator Solenoid circuit state
- Ignition 1 signal voltage
- Barometric (BARO) Pressure
CMP ACTUATOR SOLENOID CIRCUIT DIAGNOSTICS
The PCM monitors the control circuits of the CMP Actuator Solenoid for electrical faults. The PCM
has the ability to determine if a control circuit is open, shorted high, and shorted low. If the PCM
detects a fault with a CMP Actuator Solenoid circuit a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set.
CMP ACTUATOR SYSTEM PERFORMANCE DIAGNOSTICS
The PCM monitors the performance of the CMP Actuator system by monitoring the actual and
desired positions of a cam phaser. If the difference between the actual and desired position is more
than a calibrated angle for more than a calibrated amount of time, a DTC will set.

the following occurs: ^
The Body Control Module (BCM) detects that the park brake is engaged. The IPC receives a class
2 message from the BCM requesting illumination.
^ The Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) detects a low brake fluid condition. The IPC
receives a class 2 message from the EBCM requesting illumination.
^ The EBCM detects an ABS malfunction which disables Dynamic Rear Proportioning (DRP). The
IPC receives a class 2 message from the EBCM requesting illumination.
^ The IPC performs the bulb check at the start of each ignition cycle. The brake warning indicator
illuminates for approximately 3 seconds before turning OFF.
^ The IPC detects a loss of class 2 communications with the BCM or with the EBCM.

With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6.
If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is
a short to ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2.
Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across
the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered).
- When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
- If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter
TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
The J 39200 instruction Data is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is
present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with
a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance
that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
- Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving.
- 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.

Refrigerant: All Technical Service Bulletins A/C - Refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/Equipment
Bulletin No.: 08-01-38-001
Date: January 25, 2008
INFORMATION
Subject: Information On New GE-48800 CoolTech Refrigerant Recovery/Recharge Equipment
Models: 2008 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (Including Saturn) 2008 and
Prior HUMMER H2, H3 2005-2008 Saab 9-7X
Attention:
This bulletin is being issued to announce the release of GM approved Air Conditioning (A/C)
Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging Equipment that meets the new Society of Automotive
Engineers (SAE) J2788 Refrigerant Recovery Standards. The ACR2000 (J-43600) cannot be
manufactured in its current state after December 2007 and will be superseded by GE-48800.
The new J2788 standard does not require that GM Dealers replace their ACR2000 units.
ACR2000's currently in use are very capable of servicing today's refrigerant systems when used
correctly and can continue to be used. Details regarding the new SAE J2788 standard are outlined
in GM Bulletin 07-01-38-004.
Effective February 1 2008, new A/C Refrigerant Recovery/Recharging equipment (P/N GE-48800)
will be released as a required replacement for the previously essential ACR2000 (J-43600). This
equipment is SAE J2788 compliant and meets GM requirements for A/C Refrigerant System
Repairs on all General Motors vehicles, including Hybrid systems with Polyolester (POE)
refrigerant oil. This equipment will not be shipped as an essential tool to GM Dealerships.
In addition, this equipment is Hybrid compliant and designed to prevent oil cross contamination
when servicing Hybrid vehicles with Electric A/C Compressors that use POE refrigerant oil.
The ACR2000 (J-43600) will need to be retrofitted with a J-43600-50 (Hose - ACR2000 Oil Flush
Loop) to be able to perform Hybrid A/C service work. All Hybrid dealers will receive the J-43600-50,
with installation instructions, as a component of the Hybrid essential tool package. Dealerships that
do not sell Hybrids, but may need to service Hybrids, can obtain J-43600-50 from SPX Kent Moore.
Refer to GM Bulletin 08-01-39-001 for the ACR2000 Hose Flush procedure.
The High Voltage (HV) electric A/C compressor used on Two Mode Hybrid vehicles uses a
Polyolester (POE) refrigerant oil instead of a Polyalkylene Glycol (PAG) synthetic refrigerant oil.
This is due to the better electrical resistance of the POE oil and its ability to provide HV isolation.
Failure to flush the hoses before adding refrigerant to a Hybrid vehicle with an electric A/C
compressor may result in an unacceptable amount of PAG oil entering the refrigerant system. It
may cause a Battery Energy Control Module Hybrid Battery Voltage System Isolation Lost
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC P1AE7) to be set. Additionally, the A/C system warranty will be
voided.
Warranty Submission Requirements
The Electronically Generated Repair Data (snapshot summary) and printer functions have been
eliminated from the GE-48800. The VGA display and temperature probes were eliminated to
reduce equipment costs. As a result, effective immediately the 18 digit "Snapshot/Charge
Summary" code is no longer required for Air Conditioning (A/C) refrigerant system repairs that are
submitted for warranty reimbursement. The charge summary data from before and after system
repairs will continue to required, but documented on the repair order only. Both high and low
pressures and the recovery and charge amounts should be noted during the repair and entered on
the repair order. If using ACR2000 (J-43600), the "Snapshot/Charge Summary" printouts should
continue to be attached to the shops copy of the repair order.
The labor codes that are affected by this requirement are D3000 through D4500.

Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview
Information Bus: Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview
DIAGNOSTIC STARTING POINT - DATA LINK COMMUNICATIONS
Begin the diagnosis of the data link communications by performing the Diagnostic System Check
for the system in which the customer concern is apparent.
The Diagnostic System Check will direct you to the correct procedure within the Data Link
Communications section when a communication malfunction is present.
Page 6171
Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors.
Backprobe
IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
- Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector.
- Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
- After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a
trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot.
The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows
comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a
first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be
lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
- Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
- Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information

Tires: Technical Service Bulletins Tires - Correct Inflation Pressure Information
INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 00-00-90-002J
Date: January 28, 2009
Subject: Information on Proper Tire Pressure
Models: 2010 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2009 and
Prior HUMMER H2, H3, H3T 2005-2009 Saab 9-7X
Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add model years and clarify additional information. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 00-00-90-002I (Section 00 - General Information).
Important:
^ Adjustment of tire pressure for a customer with a Low Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) light on and
no codes in the TPM system is NOT a warrantable repair. Claims to simply adjust the tire pressure
will be rejected.
^ ALL tires (including the spare tire) MUST be set to the recommended inflation pressure stated on
the vehicle's tire placard (on driver's door) during the PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION (PDI).
Recommended inflation pressure is not the pressure printed on tire sidewall.
^ Tires may be over-inflated from the assembly plant due to the mounting process.
^ Generally a 5.6°C (10°F) temperature change will result in (is equivalent to) a 6.9 kPa (1 psi) tire
pressure change.
^ 2008-2009 HUMMER H2 Only - The H2 comes standard with Light Truck "D" Load Range tires
with a recommended cold inflation pressure of 289 kPa (42 psi). These tires will alert the driver to a
low pressure situation at roughly 262 kPa (38 psi) due to a requirement in FMVSS 138 which
specifies a Minimum Activation Pressure for each tire type. This creates a relatively narrow window
of "usable" pressure values and the warning will be more sensitive to outside temperature changes
during the colder months. As with other cold temperature/tire pressure issues, there is nothing
wrong with the system itself. If a vehicle is brought in with this concern, check for tire damage and
set all tires to the Recommended Cold Inflation Pressure shown on the vehicle placard.
Accurate tire pressures ensure the safe handling and appropriate ride characteristics of GM cars
and trucks. It is critical that the tire pressure be adjusted to the specifications on the vehicle¡C■s
tire placard during PDI.
Ride, handling and road noise concerns may be caused by improperly adjusted tire pressure.
The first step in the diagnosis of these concerns is to verify that the tires are inflated to the correct
pressures. The recommended tire inflation pressure is listed on the vehicle¡C■s tire placard. The
tire placard is located on the driver¡C■s side front or rear door edge, center pillar, or the rear
compartment lid.
Tip
^ Generally a 5.6°C (10°F) temperature increase will result in (is equivalent to) a 6.9 kPa (1 psi) tire
pressure increase.
^ The definition of a "cold" tire is one that has been sitting for at least 3 hours, or driven no more
than 1.6 km (1 mi).
^ On extremely cold days, if the vehicle has been indoors, it may be necessary to compensate for
the low external temperature by adding additional air to the tire during PDI.
^ During cold weather, the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) indicator light (a yellow horseshoe with an
exclamation point) may illuminate. If this indicator turns off after the tires warm up (reach operating
temperature), the tire pressure should be reset to placard pressure at the cold temperature.
^ The TPM system will work correctly with nitrogen in tires.
^ The TPM system is compatible with the GM Vehicle Care Tire Sealant but may not be with other
commercially available sealants.
Important:
^ Do not use the tire pressure indicated on the tire itself as a guide.

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

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

Condition
Some customers may comment about no cold air from the heating, ventilation and air conditioning
(HVAC) system during a drive cycle. This concern may occur at any time during the drive cycle and
at any temperature setting. The HVAC system operation returns to normal after the vehicle has
been keyed to off and restarted. This concern is intermittent and most likely to occur on hot days.
This concern may be found on vehicles equipped with manual (CJ3) and automatic (CJ2) HVAC
systems. Other customers may comment about poor HVAC system performance in high ambient
temperature conditions. This concern may be present in automatic (CJ2) HVAC systems only. An
HVAC control module software update was put into all production vehicles beginning in September
2002. Vehicles built in September 2002 and earlier may need this software update.
Correction
Update the HVAC control module using software available through GM Access beginning
September 9, 2002. The update will be fully available October 7, 2002 to all dealers on TIS 2000
CD version 10. This software update addresses both the intermittent no cooling and the poor
performance concerns. If the software update does not correct the concerns, perform the HVAC
Diagnostic System Check and repair as necessary. If the HVAC control module is replaced with a
part from GMSPO, make sure the module has the latest software update. The module may need to
be updated even though it is a new part.

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

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

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

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

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
The supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system/supplemental restraint system (SRS) requires
special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific
procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system
terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.
The tool kit J 38125-C contains the following items:
- Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction Data
The sealed splices have the following 2 critical features:
- A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
- A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The J 38125-C also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items:
- A large sampling of common electrical terminals
- The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires
- The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-C. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.

Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS
In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness
if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide
variety of actions, including:
- Wiggling the harness
- Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
- Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
- Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
- Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot

Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in
water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance
the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more
readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture.
Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5
percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's
own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is
completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan
tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously.

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.

Please Be Sure To Read these Important Points:
^ The 1-year OnStar(R) subscription is not refundable or transferable to another person. Upgraders
can apply unused subscription months to a new or Certified Pre-Owned digital OnStar-equipped
GM vehicle purchase or lease. As noted above, the digital upgrade program requires the
subscriber to purchase a one-year prepaid OnStar(R) subscription. Assuming the subscriber
intends to keep their vehicle, but subsequently purchases or leases a 2006 model year or newer
OnStar(R)-equipped new or certified used GM vehicle, in the interest of subscriber satisfaction,
they may apply remaining unused whole months of the subscription to the new vehicle. The
subscription may not be applied to another person's vehicle.
Important:
This is a customer satisfaction measure that would usually occur several months after an upgrade.
It is not intended to be leveraged as part of a new/used vehicle purchase or lease transaction.
^ The $15 charge is not refundable.
^ Dealer ADT kit orders are VIN specific. Dealer kit orders require a VIN and must be exchanged
with the OnStar(R) unit in the vehicle with that VIN. Proper activation and enrollment depends on
this step.
^ You must put the actual miles on the Repair Order. Do not estimate.
^ Customers will receive a Hands-Free Calling number once the digital hardware is installed and
configured.
^ Any nametags that were stored in the old system will need to be re-set by the subscriber once the
new hardware is installed.
^ Customers are responsible for the charges described above regardless of whether their vehicle is
in or out of the New Vehicle Warranty period. In addition, customers should not be charged labor
costs. Dealers can charge GM the labor for the upgrade as specified at the end of this bulletin
using the listed labor operation.
^ Vehicles eligible for an OnStar(R) hardware upgrade are listed in this bulletin. Vehicle
upgradeability can also be determined by typing the VIN into the field entitled "Determine VIN
Hardware Functionality" on the OnStar(R) Online Enrollment website, located in the sales or
service workbench tab of GM GlobalConnect. Canadian Dealers can use a similar tool that is
available within InfoNET.
^ Access to the sales and/or service workbench in the GM GlobalConnect website can be granted
by the dealership's Partner Security Coordinator (PSC). If you are unsure who the PSC is, check
with the Sales Manager.

Alignment: Service and Repair Wheel Alignment Measuring Procedures
Inspection and Preparation
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 is the vehicle deviation from a straight path on a level road without
pressure on the steering wheel.
Before performing any adjustment affecting wheel alignment, perform the following inspections and
adjustments in order to ensure correct alignment readings: ^
Inspect the tires for the proper inflation and irregular tire wear.
^ Irregular or premature wear
^ Inspect the runout of the wheels and the tires.
^ Inspect the wheel bearings for backlash and excessive play.
^ Inspect the ball joints and tie rod ends for looseness or wear.
^ Inspect the control arms and stabilizer shaft for looseness or wear.
^ Inspect the steering gear for looseness at the frame.
^ Inspect the struts/shock absorbers for wear, leaks, and any noticeable noises.
^ Inspect the vehicle trim height.
^ Inspect the steering wheel for excessive drag or poor return due to stiff or rusted linkage or
suspension components.
^ Inspect the fuel level. The fuel tank should be full or the vehicle should have a compensating load
added.
Give consideration to excess loads, such as tool boxes, sample cases, etc. If normally carried in
the vehicle, these items should remain in the vehicle during alignment adjustments. Give
consideration also to the condition of the equipment being used for the alignment. Follow the
equipment manufacturer's instructions. Satisfactory vehicle operation may occur over a wide range
of alignment settings. However, if the setting exceeds the service allowable specifications, correct
the alignment to the service preferred specifications.
Alignment Angle Measurement
Perform the following steps in order to measure the front and rear alignment angles: 1. Install the
alignment equipment according to the manufacturer's instructions. 2. Jounce the front and the rear
bumpers 3 times prior to checking the wheel alignment. 3. Measure the alignment angles and
record the readings.
Important: When performing adjustments to vehicles requiring a 4-wheel alignment, set the rear
wheel alignment angles first in order to obtain proper front alignment angles.
4. Adjust alignment angles to vehicle specification, if necessary.
OnStar(R) - Aftermarket Device Interference Information
Emergency Contact Module: All Technical Service Bulletins OnStar(R) - Aftermarket Device
Interference Information
INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 08-08-46-004
Date: August 14, 2008
Subject: Information on Aftermarket Device Interference with OnStar(R) Diagnostic Services
Models: 2009 and Prior GM Passenger Car and Truck (including Saturn) 2009 and Prior HUMMER
H2, H3 Models 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X
with OnStar(R) (RPO UE1)
This bulletin is being issued to provide dealer service personnel with information regarding
aftermarket devices connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC) and the impact to
OnStar(R) diagnostic probes and Vehicle Diagnostic e-mails.
Certain aftermarket devices, when connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector, such as, but not
limited to, Scan Tools, Trip Computers, Fuel Economy Analyzers and Insurance Tracking Devices,
interfere with OnStar's ability to perform a diagnostic probe when requested (via a blue button call)
by a subscriber. These devices also prohibit the ability to gather diagnostic and tire pressure data
for a subscriber's scheduled OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail.
These aftermarket devices utilize the Vehicles serial data bus to perform data requests and/or
information gathering. When these devices are requesting data, OnStar(R) is designed not to
interfere with any data request being made by these devices as required by OBD II regulations.
The OnStar(R) advisor is unable to definitively detect the presence of these devices and will only
be able to inform the caller or requester of the unsuccessful or incomplete probe and may in some
cases refer the subscriber/requester to take the vehicle to a dealer for diagnosis of the concern.
When performing a diagnostic check for an unsuccessful or incomplete OnStar(R) diagnostic
probe, or for concerns regarding completeness of the OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail,
verify that an aftermarket device was not present at the time of the requested probe. Regarding the
OVD e-mail, if an aftermarket device is interfering (including a Scan Tool of any type), the e-mail
will consistently display a "yellow" indication in diagnostics section for all vehicle systems except
the OnStar(R) System and Tire Pressure data (not available on all vehicles) will not be displayed
(i.e. section is collapsed). Successful diagnostic probes and complete OVD e-mails will resume
following the removal or disconnecting of the off-board device.

Installation Procedure
Page 7250
Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from
voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure.
1. Open the harness.
- If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
- To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
- If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode.
2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow
direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable
soldering tool.
IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the
connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool.
5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not
remove any more than is needed to attach the
new diode.
6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias.
Reference the appropriate Service Data wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the

Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable
SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE
Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable
of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and
other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below
in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable.
1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap
the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the
splice is made.
3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire.
Staggering the splices by 65 mm is recommended.
IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical
contact with the drain wire.
4. Re-assemble the cable.
- Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape.
- Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1).
- Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire.

If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-C. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure
if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
- Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
- Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
- When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
- Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
- Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
- If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

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

Control Module HVAC: All Technical Service Bulletins A/C - Musty Odors On Start Up
Bulletin No.: 05-01-39-002A
Date: March 17, 2006
TECHNICAL
Subject: Musty Odor from HVAC System (Reprogram HVAC Control Module to Enable Afterblow
Function)
Models: 2004-2006 Buick Rainier 2003-2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer, TrailBlazer EXT 2003-2006
GMC Envoy, Envoy XL 2004-2005 GMC Envoy XUV 2003-2004 Oldsmobile Bravada
with Automatic Temperature Control HVAC System (RPO CJ2)
Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add the 2006 model year and update the calibration release date.
Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 05-01-39-002 (Section 01 - HVAC).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a musty odor from the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning
(HVAC) system. This condition occurs most often on initial start up after the vehicle was driven on
a hot humid day.
Cause
This condition may be caused by condensate build-up on the evaporator core, which does not
evaporate by itself in high humidity conditions.
Correction
Important:
The afterblow function should not be enabled until after the purpose and operation of it is explained
to your customer and they approve of the change. Once the afterblow function is enabled there are
no calibrations currently released to disable it.
Technicians are to reprogram the HVAC Control Module with an updated software calibration that
will enable the afterblow function. The new calibration will be released beginning with TIS satellite
data update version 2.0, which was made available February 5, 2006. The blower motor will turn on
approximately 10 minutes after the vehicle is shut off. The blower motor will run continuously for 10
minutes at a 30% duty cycle. The afterblow function will only activate if the air conditioning
compressor was engaged during conditions of high ambient temperature. If the vehicle is started
within 10 minutes of the last key off, the afterblow function from the previous key cycle will be
cancelled.
Technicians should not attempt to reprogram a vehicle with a Manual Temperature Control HVAC
system (RPO CJ3).
Technicians should perform this HVAC Control Module reprogram instead of installing the
Electronic Evaporator Dryer Module Kit referred to in the Air Conditioning Odor bulletin, Corporate
Bulletin Number 99-01-39-004A.

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

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.

This bulletin is being revised to add the 2006 model year and Saab 9-7X models. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 03-09-40-006A (Section 09 - Restraints).
This bulletin is being issued to provide information to the customers if they comment that the left or
right front seat belt may appear to not release from the retractor when trying to put on the seat belt.
A Description For Your Customer
This condition generally does not require replacement of any parts. This condition is the result of
allowing the belt to enter the retractor at a high rate of speed. If the belt is allowed to go all the way
back into the retractor very quickly, it is possible that the force of the belt stopping suddenly against
the seat back will vibrate the retractor. This vibration "fools" the retractor into thinking that the
vehicle is changing velocity. The normal function of the retractor under this condition is to lock the
belt.
How to Correct or Eliminate the Condition
The only way to completely eliminate the condition is not to allow the belt to retract back all the way
into the retractor quickly. The fast retraction usually occurs when the customer holds the latch while
unbuckling and guides the webbing into the retractor quickly until it's fully stowed. As long as the
customer guides the belt at a slower rate of speed, the retractor will work consistently without
locking. Also, if the customer unbuckles the belt and lets the webbing retract on its own (without
guiding it), there is generally enough friction from the belt against clothing to slow down the belt so
it won't lock when it fully stows.
If the customer does allow the belt and latch plate to retract quickly, the retractor can easily be
restored to normal operation. Simply pull on the belt to create some slack in the webbing and pay
back some of the webbing into the retractor. Slack can also be created by pushing on the foam at
the top of the seat back. After a maximum of 10 mm (0.39 in) of webbing is introduced into the
retractor, it will unlock and function again. Please demonstrate this action to your customer. After
an explanation and demonstration, most customers should be able to unlock the retractor without a
problem. You may give a copy of this bulletin to your customer for further reference.

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

Drive Belt: Description and Operation
Drive Belt System Description
The drive belt system consists of the following components:
- The drive belt
- The drive belt tensioner
- The drive belt idler pulley
- The crankshaft balancer pulley
- The accessory drive component mounting brackets
- The accessory drive components +
The power steering pump, if belt driven
+ The generator
+ The A/C compressor, if equipped
+ The engine cooling fan, if belt driven
+ The water pump, if belt driven
+ The vacuum pump, if equipped
+ The air compressor, if equipped
The drive belt system may use one belt or two belts. The drive belt is thin so that it can bend
backwards and has several ribs to match the grooves in the pulleys. There also may be a V-belt
style belt used to drive certain accessory drive components. The drive belts are made of different
types of rubbers (chloroprene or EPDM) and have different layers or plys containing either fiber
cloth or cords for reinforcement.
Both sides of the drive belt may be used to drive the different accessory drive components. When
the back side of the drive belt is used to drive a pulley, the pulley is smooth.
The drive belt is pulled by the crankshaft balancer pulley across the accessory drive component
pulleys. The spring loaded drive belt tensioner keeps constant tension on the drive belt to prevent
the drive belt from slipping. The drive belt tensioner arm will move when loads are applied to the
drive belt by the accessory drive components and the crankshaft.
The drive belt system may have an idler pulley, which is used to add wrap to the adjacent pulleys.
Some systems use an idler pulley in place of an accessory drive component when the vehicle is
not equipped with the accessory.

This bulletin is being revised to add the new part numbers for the Spark Plugs and Ignition Coils.
Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-06-04-048A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion
System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that, after severe weather that includes large amounts of rain in a
short period of time, the engine has a rough idle and/or flashing MIL/SES light. Upon further
investigation, there may be the following DTC(s): P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305 or
P0306.
This condition can be aggravated if the vehicle is parked nose down on an incline during this type
of weather. The customer may also comment on repeat occurrences of this condition because
water may be passing over the Air Intake Plenum (AIP).
Cause
The dripping rain water onto the engine cam cover will collect at the coil(s) and may seep past the
coil(s) into the spark plug(s) well of the cylinder head and may affect the operation of the spark
plug(s) and coil(s), causing the misfire(s).
Correction
Before replacing the AIP seal, refer to Misfire diagnostics in SI to determine if water intrusion was
the cause of the misfire.
Diagnostic Aids for Misfire
Refer to SI for Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine Noises.
If no trouble found (NTF) using SI document on Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine
Noises, then refer to SI for Misfire DTC(s).
If Misfire diagnostic leads to the removal of the coil(s) and spark plug(s), refer to the following SI
Documents:
Air Cleaner Outlet Resonator Replacement
Ignition Coil Replacement Removal Procedure
Spark Plug Replacement
Coil(s) damage from water intrusion will have a film of white chalk build-up on the outside and
inside of the spark plug boot to ignition coil(s) assembly. If present, remove the spark plug(s) and
inspect for similar build-up on the outside of the spark plug(s).
If NTF with the coil(s) and spark plug(s), continue on with the Misfire Diagnostic in SI.
Replace any coil and spark plug that has been diagnosed to be damaged from water intrusion. To
prevent a reoccurrence, follow repair information outlined in this bulletin to replace the AIP seal.
To prevent a repeat occurrence of the above condition, Do Not return the vehicle to the customer
without replacing the AIP seal if water intrusion was determined to be the cause.
If water intrusion was determined to be the cause for the replacement of the spark plug(s) and/or
coil(s), the AIP seal should be replaced.
Installation of AIP Seal
To prevent a reoccurrence, the revised AIP seal will redirect the rain water flow away from the
engine cam cover area. The following repair information

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

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
The PCM verifies that the password received from the theft deterrent control module via the serial
data circuit is correct. The PCM can learn only one fuel continue password. If the fuel continue
password is correct, the PCM enables the starting and fuel delivery systems.
The PCM disables the starting and fuel delivery systems if any of the following conditions occur:
- The fuel continue password is incorrect.
- The fuel disable password is sent by the theft deterrent control module.
- No passwords are received - there is no communication with the theft deterrent control module.
The powertrain control module (PCM) contains the remainder of the logic of the theft deterrent
system. If a class 2 message containing a valid password is received from the BCM, the PCM will
continue to allow the fuel injectors to operate. The PCM will allow the fuel injectors to operate until
it decides there is no valid password coming from the BCM. If the PCM does not receive a class 2
message, or receives a class 2 message with an incorrect password, the engine will crank and will
not run or will start and stall immediately.
The PCM controls all ignition system functions, and constantly corrects the spark timing. The PCM
monitors information from various sensor inputs that include the following:
- The throttle position (TP) sensor
- The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor
- The mass air flow (MAF) sensor
- The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
- The vehicle speed sensor (VSS)
- The transmission gear position or range information sensors
- The engine knock sensors (KS)

A/C LOW PRESSURE SWITCH
The A/C low pressure switch protects the A/C system from a low pressure condition that could
damage the A/C compressor or cause evaporator icing.
The HVAC control module applies 12 volts to the A/C low pressure switch signal circuit. The switch
will open when the A/C low side pressure reaches 124 kPa (18 psi).
This prevents the A/C compressor from operating. The switch will then close when A/C low
pressure side reaches 275 kPa (40 psi). This enables the A/C compressor to turn back ON.

6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the
middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper
handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing:
- The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
- A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-C if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA
ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to
ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the
plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated
in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a
terminal for replacement.
Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips
SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS
IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and
seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves.
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
1. Open the harness.
- If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
- To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
- If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire.
2. Cut the wire.
- Cut as little wire off the harness as possible.
- Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and
connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage.
3. Select the proper size and type of wire.
- The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link).
- The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating.

Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6.
If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is
a short to ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2.
Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across
the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered).
- When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
- If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter
TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
The J 39200 instruction Data is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is
present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with
a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance
that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
- Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving.
- Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a
component or to other harnesses.
- If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used in
order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.

Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors.
Backprobe
IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
- Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector.
- Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
- After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a
trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot.
The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows
comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a
first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be
lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
- Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
- Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information

The module uses a default value for the missing parameter.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a
repeat of the malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
When multiple Loss of Communication DTCs are set concurrently, the cause is likely to be 2 opens
in the ring portion of the class 2 serial data circuit. Use the Control Modules and Devices ‐
Description and Identification Number table in order to determine which modules are not
communicating. Use the class 2 serial data circuit schematic in order to determine the location of
the opens.

Condition
Some customers may comment that the A/C system is intermittently inoperative or blows warm air.
Cause
An intermittent inoperative (open) A/C low pressure cycling switch may be the cause. This is an
intermittent condition and temperatures may play a critical role if the vehicle is in the failed mode or
operating as designed.
Correction
Follow the diagnosis and service procedure below to correct this condition.
1. Park the vehicle inside or in the shade.
2. Open the windows in order to ventilate the interior of the vehicle.
3. If the A/C system was operating, allow the A/C system to equalize.
4. Turn OFF the ignition.
5. Open the hood and install fender covers.
Caution:
^ Avoid breathing the A/C Refrigerant 134a (R-134a) and the lubricant vapor or the mist. Exposure
may irritate the eyes, nose, and throat. Work in a well ventilated area. In order to remove R-134a
from the A/C system, use service equipment that is certified to meet the requirements of SAE J
2210 (R-134a recycling equipment). If an accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate the work
area before continuing service. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from the
refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
^ For personal protection, goggles and gloves should be worn and a clean cloth wrapped around
fittings, valves, and connections when doing work that includes opening the refrigerant system. If
R-134a comes in contact with any part of the body severe frostbite and personal injury can result.
The exposed area should be flushed immediately with cold water and prompt medical help should
be obtained.
Note:
^ R-134a is the only approved refrigerant for use in this vehicle. The use of any other refrigerant
may result in poor system performance or component failure.
^ To avoid system damage use only R-134a dedicated tools when servicing the A/C system.
^ Use only Polyalkylene Glycol Synthetic Refrigerant Oil (PAG) for internal circulation through the
R-134a A/C system and only 525 viscosity mineral oil on fitting threads and 0-rings. If lubricants
other than those specified are used, compressor failure and/or fitting seizure may result.
^ R-12 refrigerant and R-134a refrigerant must never be mixed, even in the smallest of amounts, as
they are incompatible with each other. If the refrigerants are mixed, compressor failure is likely to
occur. Refer to the manufacturer instructions included with the service equipment

Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) 2
Page 9345
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
NOTE: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference being
obstructed.
If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen
sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In
order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference
is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires,
connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen
sensor performance.
The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor:
- Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors.
These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and
harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could
provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems.
- Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks,
etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire.
- Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize
the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal
of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance.
- To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the
vehicle harness connector.
The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125-C.

Fuel Gauge Sender: Description and Operation
Fuel Level Sensor
The fuel level sensor consists of a float, a wire float arm, and a ceramic resistor card. The position
of the float arm indicates the fuel level. The fuel level sensor contains a variable resistor which
changes resistance in correspondence with the position of the float arm. The control module sends
the fuel level information via the Class 2 circuit to the instrument panel cluster (IPC). This
information is used for the IPC fuel gage and the low fuel warning indicator, if applicable. The
control module also monitors the fuel level input for various diagnostics.

Subject: Oil Pump Assembly Seal and Transmission Case Change
Models: 2002-2004 Cars and Light Duty Trucks with 4L60-E or 4L65-E Automatic Transmissions
(RPOs M30, M32 or M33)
An improved oil pump to case seal design has been made to the 4L60-E/4L65-E transmission. The
new design affects the oil pump, the oil pump seal, the transmission pan bolts and the transmission
case. The complete design was implemented in three phases.
The first phase, beginning in September 2002, relocated the machining of the oil pump 0-ring seal
groove in the pump body. The 0-ring seal groove moved 1.6 mm (0.62 in) inward on the pump body
in order to place the sealing surface deeper into the case bore. The relocated pump body groove
can be identified by measuring the groove location. Pump bodies that measure 2.3 mm (0.09 in)
from the machined surface to the groove opening have the relocated 0-ring seal groove. Pump
bodies that measure 3.9 mm (0.15 in) are prior to September 2002 design.

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

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor is a permanent magnet generator, known as a variable
reluctance sensor. The magnetic field of the sensor is altered by a crankshaft mounted reluctor
wheel that has seven machined slots, six of which are equally spaced 60 degrees apart. The
seventh slot is spaced 10 degrees after one of the 60 degree slots. The CKP sensor produces
seven pulses for each revolution of the crankshaft. The pulse from the 10 degree slot is known as
the sync pulse. The sync pulse is used to synchronize the coil firing sequence with the crankshaft
position. The CKP sensor is connected to the PCM by a signal circuit and a low reference circuit.

If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-C. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure
if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
- Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
- Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
- When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
- Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
- Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
- If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
The supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system/supplemental restraint system (SRS) requires
special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific
procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system
terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.
The tool kit J 38125-C contains the following items:
- Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction Data
The sealed splices have the following 2 critical features:
- A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
- A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The J 38125-C also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items:
- A large sampling of common electrical terminals
- The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires
- The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-C. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Install a new license plate pocket perimeter gasket onto the backside edge of the pocket housing
as shown above, starting at the middle of the seal at the top center of the pocket. This will ensure
that the seal will be even. When properly installed, there will be 25-50 mm (1-2 in) on either side of
the liftgate release handle (2) that the seal (1) does not reach. DO NOT attempt to install the seal
on the liftgate directly below the release handle.
Install the license plate pocket assembly onto the liftgate. Refer to the License Plate Pocket
Replacement procedure in the Body Rear End (2006 MY and prior) or Exterior Trim sub-section of
SI. Modify the tightening sequence for the screws that retain the pocket assembly to the liftgate as
follows:
Push the entire rear license plate pocket assembly upward in the opening of the liftgate. Inspect the
perimeter gasket to see if it is properly retained.
Tighten
Tighten the rear license plate pocket assembly retaining nuts to 5 N.m (44 lb in) in the following
order.
Tighten the upper left retaining nut first.
Tighten the upper right retaining nut second.
Tighten the three lower retaining nuts in any order.

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

If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-C. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure
if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
- Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
- Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
- When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
- Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
- Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
- If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

Subject:
Intermittent Hesitation, Stumble or Idle Stall after Soak, Harsh 1-2 Shift, Slipping 1-2 Shift Followed
by a Harsh Engagement (Reprogram PCM)
Models: 2002-2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer 2002-2003 GMC Envoy 2002-2003 Oldsmobile Bravada
with 4.2L Engine (VIN S - RPO LL8)
Condition
Some customers may comment on an intermittent hesitation/stumble or idle stall within minutes of
starting after the vehicle has been sitting for several hours. Additionally, some customers with a
2003 model year vehicle may comment on a harsh 1-2 shift or 1-2 slip shift that has a bump feeling
when 2nd gear engages.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the EVAP diagnostic test as it opens the purge valve for a few
seconds and then closes it to verify proper emission sensor operation. If the purge canister is
saturated, the EVAP system on-board diagnostic test may cause the vehicle to correct for a rich
condition from the canister. The vehicle would then become lean when the purge valve closes at
the completion of the test. This condition occurs primarily with high RVP fuel and after the vehicle
sits for several hours in a warm ambient, above 21°C (70°F). A customer who takes short trips is
more likely to experience this condition, as they don't have the drive cycle that would allow the
purge canister to fully re-circulate the fuel vapor.
Correction
For Hesitation, Stumble or Idle Stall:
Follow the SI diagnostics for the stall/stumble condition. If the result is no trouble found, then
reprogram the module with the latest calibration.
For Harsh or Slipping Shifts on 2003 Model Year vehicles:
Reprogram the module with the latest calibration.
The calibrations listed are electronic calibrations and are NOT available from GMSPO. Calibrations
will be available from Techline starting September 2003, on the TIS 2003 Disc 10.0 CD ROM.

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

When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200
frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not
lost if the Scan Tool is powered down.
The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis.
The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected
values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and
numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful,
especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC.
Testing For a Short To Voltage
TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to
1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4.
Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Testing for Continuity
TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 2. Disconnect the power feed
(i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX
button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6.
Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no
resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other
lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6.
If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity.
Testing For Electrical Intermittents
TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS
Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at
convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment.
- Testing for Short to Ground
- Testing for Continuity
- Testing for a Short to Voltage
If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200
DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J
39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected.
IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J
39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and
maximum (MAX) values measured.
1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of
a suspected circuit to the other. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC)
position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4.

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

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

Part 2
Conditions for Running the DTC
Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range of 9 - 16 volts.
DTCs B1327, B1328, U1300, U1301, U1305 are not set as current.
The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A message containing a critical operating parameter has not been received within the last 5
seconds after establishing class 2 serial data communication.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The module uses a default value for the missing parameter.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a
repeat of the malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
When a malfunction such as an open fuse to a module occurs while modules are communicating, a
DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is set current. When the modules stop
communicating the current DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is cleared but the
history DTC remains. When the modules begin to communicate again, the module with the open
fuse will not be learned by the other modules so U1000 or U1255 is set current by the other
modules. If the malfunction occurs when the modules are not communicating, only U1000 or
U1255 is set.

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

Models: 2004 Buick Rainier 2002-2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer Models 2002-2004 GMC Envoy
Models 2002-2004 Oldsmobile Bravada
Condition
Some customers may comment on an underhood tick noise heard while the vehicle is idling.
Technicians may find that the noise does not increase or decrease with changes in the engine idle
RPM. The tick noise occurs at approximately one second intervals.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the electro-viscous fan clutch control function of the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) attempting to keep the fan speed between 300-600 revolutions per minute
(RPM). At idle, the cooling fan speed will drag to approximately 500 RPM then oscillate between
300 and 600 RPM. When the fan speed drops below 500 RPM, the PCM will pulse the fan control
solenoid. The pulsing of the solenoid is the cause of the ticking noise.
Correction
Technicians are to verify that the cooling fan clutch is the source of the noise by using either one of
the following two methods:
^ Use a Tech 2(R) to command the cooling fan off. If the ticking noise goes away, the pulsing of the
cooling fan clutch is the source of the noise.
^ The cooling fan clutch electrical connector, located on the cooling fan shroud, may be
disconnected with the engine off. If the ticking noise goes away, the pulsing of the cooling fan
clutch is the source of the noise. Be sure to clear any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) that may
have set while the cooling fan clutch is disconnected.
Technicians are to reprogram the PCM with an updated software calibration. The new software
calibration is currently available in TIS for all the vehicles listed above.

Part 2
Conditions for Running the DTC
Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range of 9 - 16 volts.
DTCs B1327, B1328, U1300, U1301, U1305 are not set as current.
The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A message containing a critical operating parameter has not been received within the last 5
seconds after establishing class 2 serial data communication.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The module uses a default value for the missing parameter.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a
repeat of the malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
When a malfunction such as an open fuse to a module occurs while modules are communicating, a
DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is set current. When the modules stop
communicating the current DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is cleared but the
history DTC remains. When the modules begin to communicate again, the module with the open
fuse will not be learned by the other modules so U1000 or U1255 is set current by the other
modules. If the malfunction occurs when the modules are not communicating, only U1000 or
U1255 is set.

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

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

with OnStar(R) (RPO UE1)
This bulletin is being issued to provide dealer service personnel with information regarding
aftermarket devices connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC) and the impact to
OnStar(R) diagnostic probes and Vehicle Diagnostic e-mails.
Certain aftermarket devices, when connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector, such as, but not
limited to, Scan Tools, Trip Computers, Fuel Economy Analyzers and Insurance Tracking Devices,
interfere with OnStar's ability to perform a diagnostic probe when requested (via a blue button call)
by a subscriber. These devices also prohibit the ability to gather diagnostic and tire pressure data
for a subscriber's scheduled OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail.
These aftermarket devices utilize the Vehicles serial data bus to perform data requests and/or
information gathering. When these devices are requesting data, OnStar(R) is designed not to
interfere with any data request being made by these devices as required by OBD II regulations.
The OnStar(R) advisor is unable to definitively detect the presence of these devices and will only
be able to inform the caller or requester of the unsuccessful or incomplete probe and may in some
cases refer the subscriber/requester to take the vehicle to a dealer for diagnosis of the concern.
When performing a diagnostic check for an unsuccessful or incomplete OnStar(R) diagnostic
probe, or for concerns regarding completeness of the OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail,
verify that an aftermarket device was not present at the time of the requested probe. Regarding the
OVD e-mail, if an aftermarket device is interfering (including a Scan Tool of any type), the e-mail
will consistently display a "yellow" indication in diagnostics section for all vehicle systems except
the OnStar(R) System and Tire Pressure data (not available on all vehicles) will not be displayed
(i.e. section is collapsed). Successful diagnostic probes and complete OVD e-mails will resume
following the removal or disconnecting of the off-board device.

contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to
test the circuit in question.
Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6.
If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is
a short to ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2.
Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across
the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered).
- When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
- If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter
TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
The J 39200 instruction Data is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is
present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with
a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance
that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
- Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving.
- 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.

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

Coolant Reimbursement Policy
General Motors supports the use of recycled engine coolant for warranty repairs/service, providing
a GM approved engine coolant recycling system is used. Recycled coolant will be reimbursed at
the GMSPO dealer price for new coolant plus the appropriate mark-up. When coolant replacement
is required during a warranty repair, it is crucial that only the relative amount of engine coolant
concentrate be charged, not the total diluted volume. In other words: if you are using two gallons of
pre-diluted (50:50) recycled engine coolant to service a vehicle, you may request reimbursement
for one gallon of GM Goodwrench engine coolant concentrate at the dealer price plus the
appropriate warranty parts handling allowance.
Licensed Approved DEX-COOL(R) Providers
Important:
USE OF NON-APPROVED VIRGIN OR RECYCLED DEX-COOL(R) OR DEVIATIONS IN THE
FORM OF ALTERNATE CHEMICALS OR ALTERATION OF EQUIPMENT, WILL VOID THE GM
ENDORSEMENT, MAY DEGRADE COOLANT SYSTEM INTEGRITY AND PLACE THE

6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the
middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper
handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing:
- The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
- A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-C if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA
ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to
ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the
plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated
in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a
terminal for replacement.

- If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
- To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
- If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire.
2. Cut the wire.
- Cut as little wire off the harness as possible.
- Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and
connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage.
3. Select the proper size and type of wire.
- The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original.
- The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures.
- Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected.
IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked
polyethylene with PVC. Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace
wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact.
4. Strip the insulation.
- Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1).
5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal
Splice Table. 6. Place the nest tool in the J 38125-C crimp tool. 7. Place the splice sleeve in the
crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 8. Close the hand crimper handles
slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 9. Insert the wires into

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add the 2006 model year and update the calibration release date.
Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 05-01-39-002 (Section 01 - HVAC).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a musty odor from the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning
(HVAC) system. This condition occurs most often on initial start up after the vehicle was driven on
a hot humid day.
Cause
This condition may be caused by condensate build-up on the evaporator core, which does not
evaporate by itself in high humidity conditions.
Correction
Important:
The afterblow function should not be enabled until after the purpose and operation of it is explained
to your customer and they approve of the change. Once the afterblow function is enabled there are
no calibrations currently released to disable it.
Technicians are to reprogram the HVAC Control Module with an updated software calibration that
will enable the afterblow function. The new calibration will be released beginning with TIS satellite
data update version 2.0, which was made available February 5, 2006. The blower motor will turn on
approximately 10 minutes after the vehicle is shut off. The blower motor will run continuously for 10
minutes at a 30% duty cycle. The afterblow function will only activate if the air conditioning
compressor was engaged during conditions of high ambient temperature. If the vehicle is started
within 10 minutes of the last key off, the afterblow function from the previous key cycle will be
cancelled.
Technicians should not attempt to reprogram a vehicle with a Manual Temperature Control HVAC
system (RPO CJ3).
Technicians should perform this HVAC Control Module reprogram instead of installing the
Electronic Evaporator Dryer Module Kit referred to in the Air Conditioning Odor bulletin, Corporate
Bulletin Number 99-01-39-004A.

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

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

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

A Torque To Yield (TTY) bolt, like a cylinder head bolt or main bearing cap bolt, may break during
repair procedures. Interaction between a TTY bolt and threads may cause the bolt to bind or break
on removal.
Prior to removing the cylinder head or main cap bolts, perform the following procedure:
Using an appropriately sized punch and hammer, rap on the head of each bolt. The vibration
produced by this procedure will assist in successful removal.
If a head bolt or main bolt breaks during engine disassembly, a broken bolt extractor kit (EN-47702)
has been released to assist in removal of the remaining bolt segment. Many times the remaining
bolt segment will back out easily with a pick tool or a reverse twist drill bit.
Bolt Replacement & Tightening
Important:
Never reuse TTY main bearing or cylinder head bolts. Always make sure that the engine block
threaded holes are clean and do not place oil or threadlocker on the bolts.
Utilize a thread chase tool followed by cleaning with dry compressed air to insure threads are clean
and dry prior to installation of new TTY bolts. Bolts that creak and snap while tightening will fail due
to excessive torque caused by threads contaminated with debris, antifreeze or oil. Trace amounts
of oil or antifreeze will cause this condition. In extreme cases the threads may need additional
cleaning with a non-residue cleaner like a brake clean product followed by drying with clean & dry
compressed air.

intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
- If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
- Wiring broken inside the insulation
- Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector.
- Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter, improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the
connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor
terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-C or the J 38125-4 Instruction Data for terminal identification.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2.
Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or
green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J 38125-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200
frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not
lost if the Scan Tool is powered down.
The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis.
The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected
values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and
numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful,
especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC.
Testing For a Short To Voltage
TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to
1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4.
Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt,

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

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
Ride/Trim Height Inspection Procedure
Alignment: Service and Repair Ride/Trim Height Inspection Procedure
TRIM HEIGHT MEASUREMENTS
Trim height is a predetermined measurement relating to vehicle ride height. Incorrect trim heights
can cause bottoming out over bumps, damage to 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 prior to measuring trim heights: ^
Make sure the vehicle is on a level surface, such as an alignment rack.
^ Set the tire pressures to specifications.
^ Check the fuel level. Add additional weight if necessary to simulate a full tank.
^ To ensure proper weight distribution make sure the rear storage compartment is empty.
^ Close the doors and hood.
Z Height Measurement - Front
The Z height measurement determines the proper ride height for the front end of the vehicle.
Vehicles equipped with torsion bars use an adjusting arm to adjust the Z height. Vehicles without
torsion bars have no adjustment and may require replacement of suspension components.
Important: All dimensions are measured vertical to the ground.
1. Place hands on the front bumper and jounce the front of the vehicle. Make sure that there is at
least 38 mm (1.5 inch) of movement while
jouncing.
2. Allow the vehicle to settle into position.
3. Measure from the pivot bolt center line (3) down to the lower corner (5) of the lower ball joint (1)
in order to obtain the Z height measurement (4). 4. Repeat the jouncing operation and
measurement 2 more times for a total of 3 times. 5. Use the highest and lowest measurements to
calculate the average height. 6. The true Z height dimension number is the average of the high and
the low measurements.
Cross vehicle Z heights should be within 24 mm (0.9 inch).
7. If these measurements are out of specifications, inspect for the following conditions:
^ Sagging front suspension.
^ Collision damage.
D Height Measurement - Rear
The D height measurement determines the proper ride height for the rear end of the vehicle. There
is no adjustment procedure. Repair may require replacement of suspension components.
Important: All dimensions are measured vertical to the ground.
1. Place hands on the rear bumper and jounce the rear of the vehicle. Make sure that there is at
least 38 mm (1.5 inch) of movement while jouncing. 2. Allow the vehicle to settle into position.

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.

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

Customer Notification - For US and Canada
General Motors will notify customers of this recall on their vehicle (see copy of customer letter
shown in this bulletin).
Customer Notification - For Export
Letters will be sent to known owners of record located within areas covered by the US National
Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. For owners outside these areas, dealers should notify
customers using the sample letter.
Dealer Recall Responsibility - For US and Export (US States, Territories, and Possessions)
The US National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act provides that each vehicle which is subject to
a recall of this type must be adequately repaired within a reasonable time after the customer has
tendered it for repair. A failure to repair within sixty days after tender of a vehicle is prima facie
evidence of failure to repair within a reasonable time. If the condition is not adequately repaired
within a reasonable time, the customer may be entitled to an identical or reasonably equivalent
vehicle at no charge or to a refund of the purchase price less a reasonable allowance for
depreciation. To avoid having to provide these burdensome remedies, every effort must be made
to promptly schedule an appointment with each customer and to repair their vehicle as soon as
possible. In the recall notification letters, customers are told how to contact the US National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration if the recall is not completed within a reasonable time.

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

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
The supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system/supplemental restraint system (SRS) requires
special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific
procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system
terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.
The tool kit J 38125-C contains the following items:
- Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction Data
The sealed splices have the following 2 critical features:
- A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
- A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The J 38125-C also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items:
- A large sampling of common electrical terminals
- The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires
- The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-C. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:

Drive Belt: Technical Service Bulletins Engine - Serpentine Drive Belt Wear Information
Bulletin No.: 04-06-01-013
Date: April 29, 2004
INFORMATION
Subject: Information on Serpentine Belt Wear
Models: 2004 and Prior Passenger Cars and Trucks 2003-2004 and Prior HUMMER H2
All current GM vehicles designed and manufactured in North America were assembled with
serpentine belts that are made with an EPDM material and should last the life of the vehicle. It is
extremely rare to observe any cracks in EPDM belts and it is not expected that they will require
maintenance before 10 years or 240,000 km (150,000 mi) of use.
Older style belts, which were manufactured with a chloroprene compound, may exhibit cracks
depending on age. However, the onset of cracking typically signals that the belt is only about
halfway through its usable life.
A good rule of thumb for chloroprene-based belts is that if cracks are observed 3 mm (1/8 in) apart,
ALL AROUND THE BELT, the belt may be reaching the end of its serviceable life and should be
considered a candidate for changing. Small cracks spaced at greater intervals should not be
considered as indicative that the belt needs changing.
Any belt that exhibits chunking should be replaced.

Description and Operation
Oil Change Reminder Lamp: Description and Operation
GM OIL LIFE SYSTEM
Your vehicle has a computer system that lets you know when to change the engine oil and filter.
This is based on engine revolutions and engine temperature, and not on mileage. Based on driving
conditions, the mileage at which an oil change will be indicated can vary considerably. For the oil
life system to work properly, you must reset the system every time the oil is changed.
When the system has calculated that oil life has been diminished, it will indicate that an oil change
is necessary. Either a "CHANGE ENGINE OIL" message in the Driver Information Center (DIC) or
a CHANGE OIL indicator will come on. Change your oil as soon as possible within the next two
times you stop for fuel. It is possible that, if you are driving under the best conditions, the oil life
system may not indicate that an oil change is necessary for over a year. However, your engine oil
and filter must be changed at least once a year and at this time the system must be reset. It is also
important to check your oil regularly and keep it at the proper level.
If the system is ever reset accidentally, you must change your oil at 3,000 miles (5 000 km) since
your last oil change. Remember to reset the oil life system whenever the oil is changed.

6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the
middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper
handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing:
- The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
- A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-C if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA
ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to
ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the
plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated
in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a
terminal for replacement.

1. Open the harness.
- If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
- To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
- If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire.
2. Cut the wire.
- Cut as little wire off the harness as possible.
- Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and
connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage.
3. Select the proper size and type of wire.
- The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link).
- The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating.

Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
- Wiring broken inside the insulation
- Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector.
- Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter, improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the
connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor
terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-C or the J 38125-4 Instruction Data for terminal identification.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2.
Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or
green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J 38125-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

This bulletin is being revised to add the new part numbers for the Spark Plugs and Ignition Coils.
Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-06-04-048A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion
System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that, after severe weather that includes large amounts of rain in a
short period of time, the engine has a rough idle and/or flashing MIL/SES light. Upon further
investigation, there may be the following DTC(s): P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305 or
P0306.
This condition can be aggravated if the vehicle is parked nose down on an incline during this type
of weather. The customer may also comment on repeat occurrences of this condition because
water may be passing over the Air Intake Plenum (AIP).
Cause
The dripping rain water onto the engine cam cover will collect at the coil(s) and may seep past the
coil(s) into the spark plug(s) well of the cylinder head and may affect the operation of the spark
plug(s) and coil(s), causing the misfire(s).
Correction
Before replacing the AIP seal, refer to Misfire diagnostics in SI to determine if water intrusion was
the cause of the misfire.
Diagnostic Aids for Misfire
Refer to SI for Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine Noises.
If no trouble found (NTF) using SI document on Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine
Noises, then refer to SI for Misfire DTC(s).
If Misfire diagnostic leads to the removal of the coil(s) and spark plug(s), refer to the following SI
Documents:
Air Cleaner Outlet Resonator Replacement
Ignition Coil Replacement Removal Procedure
Spark Plug Replacement
Coil(s) damage from water intrusion will have a film of white chalk build-up on the outside and
inside of the spark plug boot to ignition coil(s) assembly. If present, remove the spark plug(s) and
inspect for similar build-up on the outside of the spark plug(s).
If NTF with the coil(s) and spark plug(s), continue on with the Misfire Diagnostic in SI.

IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal
position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals.
Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the
connector.
NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-A Connector Test Adapter Kit or the J
42675 Flat Wire Probe Adapter Kit in order to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other
substitutes as they can damage terminals and cause incorrect measurements.

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

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

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor
The camshaft position (CMP) sensor is triggered by a notched reluctor wheel built into the exhaust
camshaft sprocket. The CMP sensor provides six signal pulses every camshaft revolution. Each
notch, or feature of the reluctor wheel is of a different size for individual cylinder identification. This
means the CMP and CKP signals are pulse width encoded to enable the PCM to constantly
monitor their relationship. This relationship is used to determine camshaft actuator position and
control its phasing at the correct value. The PCM also uses this signal to identify the compression
stroke of each cylinder, and for sequential fuel injection. The CMP sensor is connected to the PCM
by a 12-volt, low reference, and signal circuit.

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.

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

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

Drive Belt Falls Off Diagnosis
Test Description The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.
2. This test is to verify that the symptom is present during diagnosing. Other vehicle components
may cause a similar symptom. 3. This test is to verify that the drive belt(s) is causing the rumbling
noise. Rumbling noise may be confused with an internal engine noise due to the
similarity in the description. Remove only one drive belt at a time if the vehicle has multiple drive
belts. When removing the drive belt the water pump may not be operating and the engine may
overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive belt removed.
4. Inspecting the drive belt(s) is to ensure that it is not causing a the noise. Small cracks across the
ribs of the drive belt will not cause the noise. Belt
separation is identified by the plys of the belt separating and may be seen at the edge of the belt
our felt as a lump in the belt.
5. Small amounts of pilling is normal condition and acceptable. When the pilling is severe the drive
belt does not have a smooth surface for proper
operation.
Drive Belt Squeal
Drive Belt Squeal Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids A loose or improper installation of a body component, a suspension component, or
other items of the vehicle may cause the squeal noise.
If the noise is intermittent, verify the accessory drive components by varying their loads making
sure they are operated to their maximum capacity. An overcharged A/C system, power steering
system with a pinched hose or wrong fluid, or a generator failing are suggested items to inspect.

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

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.

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

Service Procedure
Tools Required (for brake pipe replacement, if required)
J 29532 Diaphragm Type Brake Pressure Bleeder, or equivalent J 35589-A Brake Pressure
Bleeder Adapter
The following procedure provides instruction for inspecting, and if necessary, replacing the brake
pipe located between the left front brake caliper flex hose and the ABS modulator.
Inspection Procedure
1. Place the vehicle on a suitable hoist and turn the steering wheel to the full right.
2. Open the hood.
3. Raise and support the vehicle.
4. Clean and remove any dirt from the left front brake pipe and flare nut (3) where it connects to the
left front caliper flex hose (4).
5. Carefully inspect the brake pipe where it goes into the flare nut for a tooling mark (1) as shown
above. The mark may be located at any point around the circumference of the pipe and a mirror
and flashlight may be required to see it. There will NOT be any of the spiral lines or grooves (2) in
the tooling mark.
^ If the tooling mark IS present (1), then the brake pipe does NOT need to be replaced. Lower the
vehicle and install the GM Recall Identification Label.
Page 2726
8. Install the oil level indicator. 9. Remove the oil level indicator and check the oil level. Add oil if
necessary. Check for any oil leaks.
Page 3465
6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the
middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper
handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing:
- The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
- A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-C if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA
ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to
ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the
plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated
in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a
terminal for replacement.
Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips
SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS
IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and
seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves.
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
1. Open the harness.
- If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
- To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
- If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire.
2. Cut the wire.
- Cut as little wire off the harness as possible.
- Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and
connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage.
3. Select the proper size and type of wire.
- The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link).
- The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating.

Engine Oil: Description and Operation Api Oil and Additives
WHAT KIND OF ENGINE OIL TO USE
Oils recommended for your vehicle can be identified by looking for the starburst symbol.
This symbol indicates that the oil has been certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API). Do
not use any oil which does not carry this starburst symbol.
If you choose to perform the engine oil change service yourself, be sure the oil you use has the
starburst symbol on the front of the oil container. If you have your oil changed for you, be sure the
oil put into your engine is American Petroleum Institute certified for gasoline engines.
You should also use the proper viscosity oil for your vehicle, as shown in the viscosity chart.
As in the chart shown previously, SAE 5W-30 is the only viscosity grade recommended for your
vehicle. You should look for and use only oils which have the API Starburst symbol and which are
also identified as SAE 5W-30. If you cannot find such SAE 5W-30 oils, you can use an SAE
10W-30 oil which has the API Starburst symbol, if it's going to be 0°F (-18°C) or above. Do not use
other viscosity grade oils, such as SAE 10W-40 or SAE 20W-50 under any conditions.
NOTICE: Use only engine oil with 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
Don't add anything to your oil. The recommended oils with the starburst symbol are all you will
need for good performance and engine protection.

IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value
in order to record the full change.
5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling
the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations.
6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has
been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the
value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9.

intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
- If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
- Wiring broken inside the insulation
- Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector.
- Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter, improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the
connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor
terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-C or the J 38125-4 Instruction Data for terminal identification.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2.
Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or
green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J 38125-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor is a permanent magnet generator, known as a variable
reluctance sensor. The magnetic field of the sensor is altered by a crankshaft mounted reluctor
wheel that has seven machined slots, six of which are equally spaced 60 degrees apart. The
seventh slot is spaced 10 degrees after one of the 60 degree slots. The CKP sensor produces
seven pulses for each revolution of the crankshaft. The pulse from the 10 degree slot is known as
the sync pulse. The sync pulse is used to synchronize the coil firing sequence with the crankshaft
position. The CKP sensor is connected to the PCM by a signal circuit and a low reference circuit.

If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-C. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure
if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
- Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
- Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
- When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
- Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
- Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
- If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

Bulletin No.: 04-07-30-028A
Date: January 12, 2006
TECHNICAL
Subject: 4T65-E Automatic Transmission Fluid Leak From Reverse Servo Cover (Replace Reverse
Servo Cover Seal)
Models: 2005 and Prior Cars and Light Duty Trucks
with Automatic Transmission 4T65-E (RPOs MN3, MN7, M15, M76)
Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to announce an improved reverse servo cover seal is available from
GMSPO and to advise technicians that it is no longer necessary to replace the reverse servo cover
when replacing the seal. The 2005 model year vehicles are also being added. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 04-07-30-028 (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a fluid leak under the vehicle. A transmission fluid leak may be
noted during the Pre-delivery Inspection (PDI).
Cause
A possible cause of a transmission fluid leak usually only during cold ambient temperatures below
-6.7°C (20°F) may be the reverse servo cover seal. The reverse servo cover seal may shrink in
cold ambient temperatures causing a transmission fluid leak.
Correction
Follow the diagnosis and repair procedure below to correct this condition.
1. Diagnose the source of the fluid leak.
2. If the source of the transmission fluid leak is the reverse servo cover, replace the reverse servo
cover seal with P/N 24235894. Refer to Reverse Servo Replacement in the appropriate Service
Manual.

Drive Belt Squeal Diagnosis
Test Description The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.
2. The noise may not be engine related. This step is to verify that the engine is making the noise. If
the engine is not making the noise do not proceed
further with this table
3. The noise may be an internal engine noise. Removing the drive belt and operating the engine for
a brief period will verify the squeal noise is the
drive belt(s) or an accessory drive component. When removing the drive belt the water pump may
not be operating and the engine may overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating
with the drive belt removed.
4. This test is to verify that an accessory drive component does not have a seized bearing. With the
belt remove test the bearings in the accessory
drive components for turning smoothly. Also test the accessory drive components with the engine
operating by varying the load on the components to verify that the components operate properly.
5. This test is to verify that the drive belt tensioner operates properly. If the drive belt tensioner is
not operating properly, proper belt tension may not
be achieved to keep the drive belt from slipping which could cause a squeal noise.
6. This test is to verify that the drive belt(s) is not too long, which would prevent the drive belt
tensioner from working properly. Also if an incorrect
length drive belt was installed, it may not be routed properly and may be turning an accessory drive
component in the wrong direction.
7. Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from improper mounting of the accessory drive
component, incorrect installation of the accessory drive
component pulley, or the pulley bent inward or outward from a previous repair. Test for a misalign
pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across two or three pulleys. If a misalign pulley is
found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation procedure for that pulley.
8. This test is to verify that the pulleys are the correct diameter or width. Using a known good
vehicle compare the pulley sizes.
Drive Belt Vibration
Drive Belt Vibration Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids The accessory drive components can have an affect on engine vibration. Such as
but not limited to the A/C system over charged, the power steering system restricted or the
incorrect fluid, or an extra load on the generator. To help identify an intermittent or an improper
condition, vary the loads on the accessory drive components.

Part 2
Conditions for Running the DTC
Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range of 9 - 16 volts.
DTCs B1327, B1328, U1300, U1301, U1305 are not set as current.
The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A message containing a critical operating parameter has not been received within the last 5
seconds after establishing class 2 serial data communication.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The module uses a default value for the missing parameter.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a
repeat of the malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
When a malfunction such as an open fuse to a module occurs while modules are communicating, a
DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is set current. When the modules stop
communicating the current DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is cleared but the
history DTC remains. When the modules begin to communicate again, the module with the open
fuse will not be learned by the other modules so U1000 or U1255 is set current by the other
modules. If the malfunction occurs when the modules are not communicating, only U1000 or
U1255 is set.

Page 8358
The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each
time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and
examine the element in the fuse for an open (break). If not broken, also check for continuity using a
DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one
of equal current rating.
Circuit Protection - Fusible Links
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS
Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is
often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or
a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If
broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size.
Repairing a Fusible Link
IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient
overload protection.
Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips.

Coolant: Fluid Type Specifications
ENGINE COOLANT
The cooling system in your vehicle is filled with DEX-COOL engine coolant. This coolant is
designed to remain in your vehicle for 5 years or 150,000 miles (240 000 km), whichever occurs
first, if you add only DEX-COOL extended life coolant.
A 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water (if the water in your area is of poor quality, it is
recommended you use distilled or de-ionized water) and DEX-COOL coolant will:
- Give freezing protection down to -34°F (-37°C).
- Give boiling protection up to 265°F (129°C).
- Protect against rust and corrosion.
- Help keep the proper engine temperature.
- Let the warning lights and gages work as they should.
NOTICE: Using coolant other than DEX-COOL may cause premature engine, heater core or
radiator corrosion. In addition, the engine coolant may require changing sooner, at 30,000 miles
(50 000 km) or 24 months, whichever occurs first. Any repairs would not be covered by your
warranty. Always use DEX-COOL (silicate-free) coolant in your vehicle.
WHAT TO USE
Use a mixture of one-half clean, drinkable water and one-half DEX-COOL coolant which won't
damage aluminum parts. If you use this coolant mixture, you don't need to add anything else.
CAUTION: Adding only plain water to your cooling system can be dangerous. Plain water, or some
other liquid such as alcohol, can boil
before the proper coolant mixture will. Your vehicle's coolant warning system is set for the proper
coolant mixture. With plain water or the wrong mixture, your engine could get too hot but you would
not get the overheat warning. Your engine could catch fire and you or others could be burned. Use
a 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water and DEX-COOL coolant.
NOTICE If you use an improper coolant mixture, your engine could overheat and be badly
damaged. The repair cost would not be covered by your warranty. Too much water in the mixture
can freeze and crack the engine, radiator, heater core and other parts.
If you have to add coolant more than four times a year, check your cooling system.
NOTICE: If you use the proper coolant, you do not have to add extra inhibitors or additives which
claim to improve the system. These can be harmful.

2007 Model Year Vehicles and Newer all have Digital OnStar(R) Modules.
Part 1
OnStar(R) Description and Operation
This OnStar(R) digital system consists of the following components:
^ Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
^ OnStar(R) button assembly
^ Microphone
^ Cellular antenna
^ Navigation antenna
Note
This system also interfaces with the factory installed vehicle audio system.
Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM)
The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) is a cellular device that allows the user to
communicate data and voice signals over the national cellular network. Power is provided by a
dedicated, fused B+ circuit. Ground is provided through the vehicle wiring harness attached to the
module. The ignition state is determined by the VCIM through serial data messaging.
Dedicated circuits are used to connect the VCIM to a microphone, the button assembly, and to
command the status LED. The VCIM communicates with the rest of the vehicle modules using the
serial data bus.
The module houses 2 technology systems, one to process GPS data, and another for cellular
information. The cellular system connects the OnStar(R) system to the cellular carrier's
communication system by interacting with the national cellular infrastructure. The module sends
and receives all cellular communications over the cellular antenna and cellular antenna coax. GPS
satellites orbiting earth are constantly transmitting signals of their current location. The OnStar(R)
system uses the GPS signals to provide location on demand.
The module also has the capability of activating the horn, initiating door lock/unlock, or activating
the exterior lamps using the serial data circuits. These functions can be commanded by the
OnStar(R) Call Center per: a customer request.
OnStar(R) Button Assembly
The OnStar(R) button assembly may be part of the rearview mirror, or a separate, stand alone unit.
The button assembly is comprised of 3 buttons and a status LED. The buttons are defined as
follows:
^ The answer/end call button, which is black with a white phone icon, allows the user to answer
and end calls or initiate speech recognition.
^ The blue OnStar(R) call center button, which displays the OnStar(R) logo, allows the user to
connect to the OnStar(R) call center.
^ The emergency button, which displays a white cross with a red background, sends a high priority
emergency call to the OnStar(R) call center when pressed.
The VCIM supplies 10 volts to the OnStar(R) button assembly on the keypad supply voltage circuit.
When pressed, each button completes a circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be
returned to the VCIM on the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned the
VCIM is able to identify which button has been pressed.
The OnStar(R) status LED is located with the button assembly. The LED is green when the system
is ON and operating normally. When the status LED is green and flashing, it is an indication that a
call is in progress. When the LED is red, this indicates a system malfunction is present. In the event
there is a system malfunction and the OnStar(R) system is still able to make a call, the LED will
flash red during the call.
If the LED does not illuminate, this may indicate that the customers OnStar(R) subscription is not
active or has expired. Push the blue OnStar button to connect to an advisor who can then verify the
account status.
Each LED is controlled by the VCIM over dedicated LED signal circuits. Ground for the LED is
provided by the wiring harness attached to the button assembly.

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

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

6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the
middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper
handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing:
- The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
- A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-C if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA
ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to
ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the
plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated
in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a
terminal for replacement.
Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips
SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS

1. Open the harness.
- If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
- To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
- If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire.
2. Cut the wire.
- Cut as little wire off the harness as possible.
- Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and
connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage.
3. Select the proper size and type of wire.
- The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link).
- The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating.

OnStar(R) Module Expected Current Draw
The expected current draw of the OnStar(R) module in various ignition modes are as follows:
^ Ignition ON ‐ 240 to 400 mA
^ Ignition OFF ‐ 3 to 20 mA for 48 hours
^ Ignition OFF ‐ 0.2 to 0.8 mA after 48 hours (120 hours on specified vehicle
communication platforms (VCPs)).
Note
During extended voltage testing for battery parasitic draw, it is possible to observe a voltage spike
caused by the following:
^ A cellular registration call that was triggered by the local cellular system.
^ The OnStar(R) system has set a monthly trigger for a vehicle data upload call for the OnStar(R)
Vehicle Diagnostic E‐mail upload.
OnStar(R) System States of Readiness
The OnStar(R) system will use the following 4 states of readiness, depending upon the type of
cellular market the vehicle is in when the ignition is turned OFF.
^ High power
^ Low power
^ Sleep
^ Digital standby
The high power state is in effect whenever the ignition is in the ON or RUN position, retained
accessory power (RAP) is enabled, and/or the OnStar(R) system is sending or receiving calls or
when the system is performing a remote function.
The low power state is in effect when the OnStar(R) system is idle with the ignition in the ON or
RUN position, or with RAP enabled.
The sleep state is entered after the vehicle has been shut OFF and the RAP has timed out. At a
predetermined time recorded within the VCIM, the system re-enters the low power state to listen for
a call from the OnStar(R) Call Center for 1 minute. After this interval, the system will again return to
the sleep state for 9 minutes. If a call is sent during the 1 minute interval, the OnStar(R) system will
receive the call and immediately go into the high power mode to perform any requested functions.
If a call is not received during the 1 minute interval, the system will go back into the sleep mode for
another 9 minutes. This process will continue for up to 48 hours, after which the OnStar(R) system
will turn OFF until the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position.
The digital standby power state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the RAP has
timed out while in a digital cellular area. When in digital standby mode, the OnStar(R) module is
able to perform all remote functions as commanded by an OnStar(R) advisor at any time, for a
continuous 48 hours. After 48 hours, the OnStar(R) module will go into sleep mode until a wake up
signal from the vehicle is seen by the CIM. If the OnStar module loses the digital cellular signal it
will revert to analog mode and follow the standard sleep state (9 minutes OFF, 1 minute standby)
based on the time of the GPS signals, this will continue until a digital cellular signal is again
received.
If the OnStar(R) system loses battery power while the system is in a standby or sleep mode, the
system will remain OFF until battery power is restored and the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN
position.
Deactivated OnStar(R) Accounts
In the event that a customer has not upgraded their vehicle to a digital system, the account has
been deactivated. The customers have been previously notified of the steps required to upgrade
their vehicles. After the OnStar(R) account has been deactivated, customers will experience the
following:
^ The OnStar(R) status LED will not illuminate
^ The OnStar(R) system will NOT attempt to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center in the event of a
collision or if the vehicle's front air bags deploy for any other reason.
^ An emergency button press will result in a demo message being played, indicating the service
has been deactivated and needs to be upgraded.

operation. The new process is as follows.
1. Wash with soap and water.
2. Clean with a 50% mix of isopropyl alcohol and water (or a waterborne cleaner). Check with your
paint supplier for product recommendations.
3. Scuff sand per your paint suppliers recommendations.
Note:
The use of a solvent-type cleaner will soften, or begin to dissolve the primer. Base coats do not
have any affect on this primer.
4. Reclean with a 50% mix of isopropyl alcohol and water (or a waterborne cleaner).
All fascias, with the exception of the Corvette, Camaro, and Cadillac XLR, are made of TPO. You
may find other TPO parts with this primer. If the technician has a question as to the type of plastic
they are painting, inspect the back of the part for the plastic symbol (TPO).

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

If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the
wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire.

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.

J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
The supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system/supplemental restraint system (SRS) requires
special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific
procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system
terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.
The tool kit J 38125-C contains the following items:
- Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction Data
The sealed splices have the following 2 critical features:
- A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
- A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The J 38125-C also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items:
- A large sampling of common electrical terminals
- The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires
- The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-C. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.

IMPORTANT: On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large
enough to remove the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large
enough service loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal.
TERMINAL REPAIR
1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the
same size wire through the back of the connector
cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not
cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible.

Figure 3: Tire Shoulder View Example 2 - "NORMAL" Tire "Feathering" Wear
Figure 4: Detail Side View of Tire Shoulder Area - "NORMAL" Tire "Feathering" Wear
Important When a wheel alignment is deemed necessary for tire wear, be sure to document on the
repair order, in as much detail as possible, the severity and type of tire wear (e.g., severe center
wear or severe inside or outside shoulder wear) and the position of the tire on the vehicle (RF, LF,
LR, RR). Please note the customer's concern with the wear such as, noise, appearance, wear life,
etc. A field product report with pictures of the tire wear condition is recommended. Refer to
Corporate Bulletin Number 02-00-89-002J and #07-00-89-036C.
4. Other repairs that affect wheel alignment; e.g., certain component replacement such as
suspension control arm replacement, engine cradle
adjustment/replace, steering gear replacement, steering tie rod replace, suspension strut/shock,
steering knuckle, etc. may require a wheel alignment.
Important If other components or repairs are identified as affecting the wheel alignment, policy calls
for the wheel alignment labor time to be charged to the replaced/repaired component's labor
operation time rather than the wheel alignment labor operations.
Important Vibration type customer concerns are generally NOT due to wheel alignment except in
the rare cases; e.g., extreme diagonal wear across the tread. In general, wheel alignments are
NOT to be performed as an investigation/correction for vibration concerns.
"Normal Operation" Conditions
Vehicle Lead/Pull Due to Road Crown or Slope:
As part of "Normal Operation," vehicles will follow side-to-side or left to right road crown or slope.
Be sure to verify from the customer the types of roads they are driving as they may not recognize
the influence of road crown on vehicle lead/pull and steering wheel angle. If a vehicle requires
significant steering effort to prevent it from "climbing" the road crown there may be an issue to be
looked into further.
Important
Page 4578
Fuel: Specifications
GASOLINE OCTANE
Use regular unleaded gasoline with a posted octane of 87 or higher. If the octane is less than 87,
you may get a heavy knocking noise when you drive. If this occurs, use a gasoline rated at 87
octane or higher as soon as possible. Otherwise, you might damage your engine. A little pinging
noise when you accelerate or drive uphill is considered normal. This does not indicate a problem
exists or that a higher-octane fuel is necessary. If you are using 87 octane or higher-octane fuel
and you hear heavy knocking, your engine needs service.
ADDITIVES
To provide cleaner air, all gasoline in the United States are now required to contain additives that
will help prevent engine and fuel system deposits from forming, allowing your emission control
system to work properly. You should not have to add anything to your fuel. Gasoline containing
oxygenates, such as ethers and ethanol, and reformulated gasoline may be available in your area
to contribute to clean air. General Motors recommends that you use these gasoline, particularly if
they comply with the specifications described earlier.
NOTICE: Your vehicle was not designed for fuel that contains methanol. Don't use fuel containing
methanol. It can corrode metal parts in your fuel system and also damage the plastic and rubber
parts. That damage wouldn't be covered under your warranty.
Some gasoline that are not reformulated for low emissions may contain an octane-enhancing
additive called methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT); ask the attendant where you
buy gasoline whether the fuel contains MMT. General Motors does not recommend the use of such
gasoline. Fuels containing MMT can reduce the life of spark plugs and the performance of the
emission control system may be affected. The malfunction indicator lamp may turn on. If this
occurs, return to your authorized GM dealer for service.
CALIFORNIA FUEL
If your vehicle is certified to meet California Emission Standards (see the underhood emission
control label), it is designed to operate on fuels that meet California specifications. If this fuel is not
available in states adopting California emissions standards, your vehicle will operate satisfactorily
on fuels meeting federal specifications, but emission control system performance may be affected.
The malfunction indicator lamp may turn on (see Malfunction Indicator Lamp ) and your vehicle
may fail a smog-check test. If this occurs, return to your authorized GM dealer for diagnosis. If it is
determined that the condition is caused by the type of fuel used, repairs may not be covered by
your warranty.

TECHNICAL
Subject: Intermittent Slow to Cool HVAC Performance Concerns in High Ambient Temperatures
and/or High Humidity Conditions After Start Up, Especially at Low Engine Speeds (Install New
Engine Cooling Fan Clutch)
Models: 2004-2005 Buick Rainier 2002-2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer Models 2002-2005 GMC Envoy
Models 2002-2004 Oldsmobile Bravada 2005 Saab 9-7X
Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to provide repair information for this customer concern. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 04-01-38-019 (Section 01 - HVAC).
Condition
Some customers may comment on slow to cool Air Conditioning (A/C) performance or high A/C
outlet temperatures after start up or that the A/C system is not cooling sufficiently, especially in high
ambient temperatures. This may be an intermittent condition and the performance of the Heating,
Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system may not meet customer expectations.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the response of the Electro-Viscous (EV) fan clutch and can be
related to airflow across the condenser. This low A/C system performance can occur for longer
periods of time if the vehicle is allowed to idle or is driven in low speed conditions. The response of
the EV fan clutch will affect A/C system performance. As higher road speeds are attained, the
increased airflow across the condenser will usually improve A/C system performance and the
response of the EV fan clutch. This condition may be more evident after the vehicle has set for a
period of time and can be difficult to duplicate. The condition may occur after the vehicle has set for
as little as 10 minutes or as long as overnight. It is most prevalent intermittently during the first 15
minutes of operation.
Correction
Technicians are to replace the EV fan clutch with a new design part, P/N 15293048, on vehicles
built before June 2005. Vehicles built in June 2005 may already have the updated EV fan clutch
and it will not need to be replaced. For 2004 model year vehicles and older, update the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) with a software calibration that was developed to improve coolant
temperature gauge readings. This new calibration will cause the PCM to command small amounts
of additional fan engagement to better control engine coolant temperatures. Model year 2005
vehicles already have this calibration installed. Refer to Corporate Service Bulletin Number
04-06-02-005 for more information about this calibration.
Proper diagnosis of any customer concern is essential. Refer to the Diagnostic Starting
Point-Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning procedure in SI to begin a diagnosis of any HVAC
concerns. Refer to the Diagnostic Starting Point-Engine Cooling procedure in SI to begin a
diagnosis of any engine cooling or engine cooling fan concerns. If an attempt is made to diagnose
an HVAC system concern, all parameters must be measured. As an example, both the low and
high side refrigerant pressure readings must be measured. If only the low side pressure readings
were measured, it would appear that the A/C compressor is disengaging at a higher pressure than
expected. If both the low and high side pressures were being measured, it would be noted that the
A/C compressor is probably disengaging due to the maximum high side pressure cut out point
being reached. This occurs to protect the HVAC system from damage. The updated PCM software
calibration along with the updated EV fan clutch will improve this condition due to increased air flow
across the condenser. The new EV fan clutch has an increased minimum operating fan speed and
an improved response time. Additional engine cooling

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

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.

models and change the refinish materials reference. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number
03-08-111-002F (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the paint is chipped just behind the front wheels as well as just
in front of the rear wheels. Some customers may also comment about damage to the lower
door/cladding and rocker panels.
Cause
The rocker and lower door areas may be damaged by road debris thrown up by the tires at
highway speeds.
Correction
It may be necessary to perform the following repair in order to meet customer expectations and
gain their product satisfaction.
Follow the manufacturers specifications for repainting the lower door/cladding and rocker panel and
refer to the 2008 GMWI5406 GM Globally Approved Refinish Materials information for the type of

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

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

6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the
middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper
handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing:
- The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
- A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-C if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA
ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to
ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the
plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated
in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a
terminal for replacement.

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

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

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.

Envoy XL 2003 GMC Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL 2002-2003 Oldsmobile Bravada 2003 HUMMER H2
Condition
Some customers may comment that the A/C system is intermittently inoperative or blows warm air.
Cause
An intermittent inoperative (open) A/C low pressure cycling switch may be the cause. This is an
intermittent condition and temperatures may play a critical role if the vehicle is in the failed mode or
operating as designed.
Correction
Follow the diagnosis and service procedure below to correct this condition.
1. Park the vehicle inside or in the shade.
2. Open the windows in order to ventilate the interior of the vehicle.
3. If the A/C system was operating, allow the A/C system to equalize.
4. Turn OFF the ignition.
5. Open the hood and install fender covers.
Caution:
^ Avoid breathing the A/C Refrigerant 134a (R-134a) and the lubricant vapor or the mist. Exposure
may irritate the eyes, nose, and throat. Work in a well ventilated area. In order to remove R-134a
from the A/C system, use service equipment that is certified to meet the requirements of SAE J
2210 (R-134a recycling equipment). If an accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate the work
area before continuing service. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from the
refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
^ For personal protection, goggles and gloves should be worn and a clean cloth wrapped around
fittings, valves, and connections when doing work that includes opening the refrigerant system. If
R-134a comes in contact with any part of the body severe frostbite and personal injury can result.
The exposed area should be flushed immediately with cold water and prompt medical help should
be obtained.
Note:
^ R-134a is the only approved refrigerant for use in this vehicle. The use of any other refrigerant
may result in poor system performance or component failure.
^ To avoid system damage use only R-134a dedicated tools when servicing the A/C system.
^ Use only Polyalkylene Glycol Synthetic Refrigerant Oil (PAG) for internal circulation through the
R-134a A/C system and only 525 viscosity mineral oil on fitting threads and 0-rings. If lubricants
other than those specified are used, compressor failure and/or fitting seizure may result.
^ R-12 refrigerant and R-134a refrigerant must never be mixed, even in the smallest of amounts, as
they are incompatible with each other. If the refrigerants are mixed, compressor failure is likely to
occur. Refer to the manufacturer instructions included with the service equipment

This bulletin is being revised to add the new part numbers for the Spark Plugs and Ignition Coils.
Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-06-04-048A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion
System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that, after severe weather that includes large amounts of rain in a
short period of time, the engine has a rough idle and/or flashing MIL/SES light. Upon further
investigation, there may be the following DTC(s): P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305 or
P0306.
This condition can be aggravated if the vehicle is parked nose down on an incline during this type
of weather. The customer may also comment on repeat occurrences of this condition because
water may be passing over the Air Intake Plenum (AIP).
Cause
The dripping rain water onto the engine cam cover will collect at the coil(s) and may seep past the
coil(s) into the spark plug(s) well of the cylinder head and may affect the operation of the spark
plug(s) and coil(s), causing the misfire(s).
Correction
Before replacing the AIP seal, refer to Misfire diagnostics in SI to determine if water intrusion was
the cause of the misfire.
Diagnostic Aids for Misfire
Refer to SI for Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine Noises.
If no trouble found (NTF) using SI document on Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine
Noises, then refer to SI for Misfire DTC(s).

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

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

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

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

Some customers may comment that, after severe weather that includes large amounts of rain in a
short period of time, the engine has a rough idle and/or flashing MIL/SES light. Upon further
investigation, there may be the following DTC(s): P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305 or
P0306.
This condition can be aggravated if the vehicle is parked nose down on an incline during this type
of weather. The customer may also comment on repeat occurrences of this condition because
water may be passing over the Air Intake Plenum (AIP).
Cause
The dripping rain water onto the engine cam cover will collect at the coil(s) and may seep past the
coil(s) into the spark plug(s) well of the cylinder head and may affect the operation of the spark
plug(s) and coil(s), causing the misfire(s).
Correction
Before replacing the AIP seal, refer to Misfire diagnostics in SI to determine if water intrusion was
the cause of the misfire.
Diagnostic Aids for Misfire
Refer to SI for Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine Noises.
If no trouble found (NTF) using SI document on Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine
Noises, then refer to SI for Misfire DTC(s).
If Misfire diagnostic leads to the removal of the coil(s) and spark plug(s), refer to the following SI
Documents:
Air Cleaner Outlet Resonator Replacement
Ignition Coil Replacement Removal Procedure
Spark Plug Replacement
Coil(s) damage from water intrusion will have a film of white chalk build-up on the outside and
inside of the spark plug boot to ignition coil(s) assembly. If present, remove the spark plug(s) and
inspect for similar build-up on the outside of the spark plug(s).
If NTF with the coil(s) and spark plug(s), continue on with the Misfire Diagnostic in SI.
Replace any coil and spark plug that has been diagnosed to be damaged from water intrusion. To
prevent a reoccurrence, follow repair information outlined in this bulletin to replace the AIP seal.
To prevent a repeat occurrence of the above condition, Do Not return the vehicle to the customer
without replacing the AIP seal if water intrusion was determined to be the cause.
If water intrusion was determined to be the cause for the replacement of the spark plug(s) and/or
coil(s), the AIP seal should be replaced.
Installation of AIP Seal
To prevent a reoccurrence, the revised AIP seal will redirect the rain water flow away from the
engine cam cover area. The following repair information outlined in this bulletin will assist
technicians in the replacement of the revised AIP seal.
Remove the original rear hood (AIP) seal to the air inlet grille panel staked studs. Refer to the
above illustration (1).

6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the
middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper
handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing:
- The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
- A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-C if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA
ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to
ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the
plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated
in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a
terminal for replacement.
Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

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

IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
- Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector.
- Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
- After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a
trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot.
The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows
comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a
first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be
lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
- Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
- Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information

Condition
General Motors has decided that a detect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain
2004 Buick Rainier and GMC Envoy XUV; 2003-2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer, TrailBlazer EXT; GMC
Envoy, Envoy XL; and Oldsmobile Bravada vehicles. Some of these vehicles have an intermittent
condition in which the turn signals may not operate as designed. Material build up on the flasher
relay may cause the turn signals to flash on both sides of the vehicle when activated similar to
hazard warning flashers, or they may illuminate and remain illuminated instead of flashing. The
instrument panel would indicate the incorrect operation if this were to occur. Incorrect operation of
the turn signal indicator could fail to warn others of the driver's intentions and could lead to a
vehicle crash.
Correction
Dealers are to replace the flasher relay module.

PARK, TAIL, MARKER, LICENSE, AND CLEARANCE LAMPS
The park, tail, marker, license, and clearance (Y92 only) lamps are turned on when the headlamp
switch is placed in the PARK or ON position or anytime the headlights are requested. The I/P BATT
fuse in the engine wiring harness junction block supplies battery positive voltage to both the park
lamp relay switch contacts and the park lamp coil circuit. The body control module (BCM) provides
a ground or control circuit to the park lamp relay coil circuit. When the park lamps are turned on,
the BCM energizes the park lamp relay. Current flow is from the park lamp relay to the individual
park lamp circuit fuses and to their respective park, tail, marker, and license lamps. The front park
and marker lamps are grounded at G107 and G103. The tail lamps are grounded at G401 and
G402. The license lamps are grounded at G401. When equipped with the Y92 roof rack option, the
clearance lamps are grounded at G302. If the driver places the headlight switch in the ON position
after the ignition switch has been turned OFF, the park, tail, marker, license, and clearance lamps
will remain on until turned off or the battery runs dead.
The T PARK fuse in the rear fuse-relay block supplies battery positive voltage to a separate park
lamp circuit connected to the trailer wiring harness.

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

stud threads. 13. Using GM approved residue-free solvent or equivalent, thoroughly clean the rivet
stud threads to remove any adhesive and allow to dry. 14. Using a small brush, apply Dielectric
Lubricant GM P/N 12377900 (Canadian P/N 10953529) to the threads of the M6 conductive rivet
stud.
Note Fretting corrosion is a build-up of insulating, oxidized wear debris that can form when there is
a small motion between electrical contacts. The oxidized wear debris can accumulate at the
electrical contact points causing the electrical resistance across the connection to increase.

Center (DIC)
The customer's initial perception of vehicle fuel economy, based upon the information displayed on
the Driver Information Center (DIC), may contribute to poor ratings for fuel economy in various
automotive surveys. The way the vehicle is handled during the build and shipping process may
leave inaccurate values in the history of the DIC.
During the pre-delivery inspection, the dealership must reset the "average fuel economy" setting.
Reset the average fuel economy setting according to the information in the appropriate Owner's
Manual. Once reset, the average fuel economy will then be calculated starting from that point.
The data used to determine fuel range is an average of recent driving conditions. This setting
cannot be reset. However, as the customer's driving conditions change, the data will be gradually
updated to reflect more accurate readings.
If a customer inquires about fuel economy, and the fuel consumption information is not on the price
sticker, do not exaggerate the vehicle's capabilities. In either case, stress that fuel economy
performance is highly dependent upon driving habits and vehicle usage.

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.

Condition
Some customers may comment that the A/C system is intermittently inoperative or blows warm air.
Cause
An intermittent inoperative (open) A/C low pressure cycling switch may be the cause. This is an
intermittent condition and temperatures may play a critical role if the vehicle is in the failed mode or
operating as designed.
Correction
Follow the diagnosis and service procedure below to correct this condition.
1. Park the vehicle inside or in the shade.
2. Open the windows in order to ventilate the interior of the vehicle.
3. If the A/C system was operating, allow the A/C system to equalize.
4. Turn OFF the ignition.
5. Open the hood and install fender covers.
Caution:
^ Avoid breathing the A/C Refrigerant 134a (R-134a) and the lubricant vapor or the mist. Exposure
may irritate the eyes, nose, and throat. Work in a well ventilated area. In order to remove R-134a
from the A/C system, use service equipment that is certified to meet the requirements of SAE J
2210 (R-134a recycling equipment). If an accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate the work
area before continuing service. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from the
refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
^ For personal protection, goggles and gloves should be worn and a clean cloth wrapped around
fittings, valves, and connections when doing work that includes opening the refrigerant system. If
R-134a comes in contact with any part of the body severe frostbite and personal injury can result.
The exposed area should be flushed immediately with cold water and prompt medical help should
be obtained.
Note:
^ R-134a is the only approved refrigerant for use in this vehicle. The use of any other refrigerant
may result in poor system performance or component failure.
^ To avoid system damage use only R-134a dedicated tools when servicing the A/C system.
^ Use only Polyalkylene Glycol Synthetic Refrigerant Oil (PAG) for internal circulation through the
R-134a A/C system and only 525 viscosity mineral oil on fitting threads and 0-rings. If lubricants
other than those specified are used, compressor failure and/or fitting seizure may result.
^ R-12 refrigerant and R-134a refrigerant must never be mixed, even in the smallest of amounts, as
they are incompatible with each other. If the refrigerants are mixed, compressor failure is likely to
occur. Refer to the manufacturer instructions included with the service equipment

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

Models: 2009 and Prior GM Passenger Car and Truck (including Saturn) 2009 and Prior HUMMER
H2, H3 Models 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X
with OnStar(R) (RPO UE1)
This bulletin is being issued to provide dealer service personnel with information regarding
aftermarket devices connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC) and the impact to
OnStar(R) diagnostic probes and Vehicle Diagnostic e-mails.
Certain aftermarket devices, when connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector, such as, but not
limited to, Scan Tools, Trip Computers, Fuel Economy Analyzers and Insurance Tracking Devices,
interfere with OnStar's ability to perform a diagnostic probe when requested (via a blue button call)
by a subscriber. These devices also prohibit the ability to gather diagnostic and tire pressure data
for a subscriber's scheduled OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail.
These aftermarket devices utilize the Vehicles serial data bus to perform data requests and/or
information gathering. When these devices are requesting data, OnStar(R) is designed not to
interfere with any data request being made by these devices as required by OBD II regulations.
The OnStar(R) advisor is unable to definitively detect the presence of these devices and will only
be able to inform the caller or requester of the unsuccessful or incomplete probe and may in some
cases refer the subscriber/requester to take the vehicle to a dealer for diagnosis of the concern.
When performing a diagnostic check for an unsuccessful or incomplete OnStar(R) diagnostic
probe, or for concerns regarding completeness of the OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail,
verify that an aftermarket device was not present at the time of the requested probe. Regarding the
OVD e-mail, if an aftermarket device is interfering (including a Scan Tool of any type), the e-mail
will consistently display a "yellow" indication in diagnostics section for all vehicle systems except
the OnStar(R) System and Tire Pressure data (not available on all vehicles) will not be displayed
(i.e. section is collapsed). Successful diagnostic probes and complete OVD e-mails will resume
following the removal or disconnecting of the off-board device.

Amplifier: Description and Operation
AUDIO AMPLIFIER
The audio amplifier is standard on some vehicle lines but is optional on most. The radio supplies
low level audio signals to the audio amplifier in order to boost the signal sent to the speakers. The
class 2 signal circuit allows the radio to recognize that an amplifier is present. Once the radio
detects an audio amplifier, it will output low level audio signals. The audio amplifier is turned on
when it receives a message via the class 2 serial data circuit indicating that the radio is on.

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

Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6.
If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is
a short to ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2.
Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across
the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered).
- When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
- If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter
TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
The J 39200 instruction Data is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is
present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with
a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance
that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
- Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving.
- 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.

The GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator product is an effective odor elimination product when used
properly. It must come into direct contact with the odor source. It should be used in conjunction with
diagnostic procedures to first eliminate the root cause of the odor. Some procedures for use after
odor root cause correction are:
STEP TWO:
^ Use the trigger spray head.
^ Put a drop of dish soap the size of a quarter in the bottom of a bottle.
^ Add 8 oz. of GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator (1 cup) to the dish soap and top off the bottle with
tap water.
^ This formula should be used on hard surfaces (dash, interior plastic molding, and floor pan)
STEP THREE:
The third step to neutralizing the vehicle is a light to medium treatment of all carpeting and
upholstered seats with the GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator formula and a wide fan spray setting
(at full strength) (i.e.: carpeting on the driver's side requires 4-5 triggers pulls for coverage). The
headliner and trunk should be sprayed next. Lightly brushing the formula into the carpeting and
upholstery is a recommended step for deep odor problems. The dash and all hard surfaces should
be sprayed with dish soap/water mixture. Let stand for 1-2 minutes then wipe off the surface.
STEP FOUR: (vehicle ventilation system treatment)
The ventilation system is generally the last step in the treatment of the vehicle.
a. Spray the GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator formula into all dash vents. (1-2 trigger pulls per
vent).
b. Start the vehicle and turn the vehicle fan on high cool (not A/C setting).
c. Spray the formula (10 trigger pulls) into the outside fresh air intake vent (cowl at base of
windshield)
d. Enter the vehicle after 1 minute and wipe off the excess formula spurting out of the dash vents.
e. Smell the air coming from the dash vents. If odors are still present, spray another 5 triggers into
the cowl, wait another minute and smell the results. Once you have obtained a fresh, clean smell
coming from the vents, turn the system to the A/C re-circulation setting. Roll up the windows, spray
3-5 pumps into the right lower IP area and let the vehicle run with the fan set on high for 5-7
minutes.
Please follow this diagnosis process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited
is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed. If
these steps do not resolve the condition, please contact GM TAC for further diagnostic assistance.
Additional Suggestions to Increase Customer Satisfaction
Here are some additional ideas to benefit your dealership and to generate greater customer
enthusiasm for this product.
^ Keep this product on-hand for both the Service Department and the Used Car lot. Add value to
your used car trades; treat loaner and demo cars during service and at final sale to eliminate
smoke, pet, and other common odors offensive to customers. Make deodorizing a vehicle part of
your normal vehicle detailing service.
^ Consider including GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator as a give-away item with new vehicle

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.

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

Fuel Injector: Description and Operation
Fuel Injectors
The Multec 2 fuel injector assembly is a solenoid device controlled by the control module that
meters pressurized fuel to a single engine cylinder. The control module energizes the
high-impedance, 12 ohms, injector solenoid (2) to open a normally closed ball valve (3). This allows
fuel to flow into the top of the injector, past the ball valve, and through a director plate at the injector
outlet. The director plate has four machined holes that control the fuel flow, generating a spray of
finely atomized fuel at the injector tip. Fuel from the injector tip is directed at the intake valve,
causing the fuel to become further atomized and vaporized before entering the combustion
chamber. This fine atomization improves fuel economy and emissions.

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

Lock Cylinder Switch: Description and Operation
IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER CASE, INCLUDING THE PASSLOCK(TM) SENSOR
The ignition lock cylinder fits inside the ignition lock cylinder case and operates the ignition switch
when turned by a key with the proper mechanical cut.
When the ignition key is used to turn the ignition lock cylinder to crank, start, a magnet on the lock
cylinder passes close to the Passlock(TM) Sensor within the ignition lock cylinder case. The
magnet activates the Security Hall Effect Sensor in the Passlock(TM) Sensor which completes a
circuit from the security sensor signal circuit through a resistor to the security sensor low reference
circuit. The resistance value will vary from vehicle to vehicle.
If a magnet from outside of the ignition lock cylinder case is used to attempt to steal the vehicle, the
Tamper Hall Effect Sensor will be activated. This completes a circuit from the security sensor signal
circuit through a tamper resistor to the security sensor low reference circuit bypassing the security
resistor. If the ignition switch is forced to rotate without the correct key, or if the ignition lock
cylinder is removed by force, the Passlock(TM) Sensor will be damaged and will not operate.

Conditions for Running the DTC
Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range of 9 - 16 volts.
DTCs B1327, B1328, U1300, U1301, U1305 are not set as current.
The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A message containing a critical operating parameter has not been received within the last 5
seconds after establishing class 2 serial data communication.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The module uses a default value for the missing parameter.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a
repeat of the malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
When a malfunction such as an open fuse to a module occurs while modules are communicating, a
DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is set current. When the modules stop
communicating the current DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is cleared but the
history DTC remains. When the modules begin to communicate again, the module with the open
fuse will not be learned by the other modules so U1000 or U1255 is set current by the other
modules. If the malfunction occurs when the modules are not communicating, only U1000 or
U1255 is set.

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

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

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

Condition
Some customers may comment on higher than normal engine coolant temperature gauge readings
when operating the vehicle in very high outside ambient temperatures, and in stop and go or slow
moving traffic.
Cause
Reduced air flow across the radiator and preheated air from stopped or slow moving driving
conditions from traffic congestion may result in normally higher engine coolant operating
temperatures as indicated by the temperature gauge.
Correction
Technicians are to reprogram the PCM with an updated software calibration. This new service
calibration was released with TIS satellite data update version 7.3 available July 7, 2004. As
always, make sure your TECH 2(R) is updated with the latest software version.

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

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

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

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

Use only the GM-approved replacement fasteners with conductive finish for electrical ground
repair.
1. Select a location adjacent the damaged or missing M6 ground stud having 20 mm (0.79 in)
clearance behind the panel surface and 20 mm (0.79 in)
clearance surrounding the M6 conductive rivet stud flange.
2. Using GM approved residue-free solvent or equivalent, remove any grease from the repair site
and allow to dry.
Note Ensure 20 mm (0.79 in) clearance is maintained behind the panel to be drilled.
3. Drill a 10 mm (0.40 in) diameter hole through the panel.
4. Remove paint and primer from the area surrounding the 10 mm (0.40 in) hole until bare metal is

Camshaft Actuator System
Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Camshaft Actuator System
CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) ACTUATOR SYSTEM
The Camshaft Position Actuator system is used for a variety of engine performance enhancements.
These enhancements include lower emission output through exhaust gas recirculation control, a
wider engine torque range, improved gas millage, and improved engine idle stability. The CMP
Actuator system accomplishes this by controlling the amount of intake and exhaust valve overlap.
CMP ACTUATOR SYSTEM OPERATION
The CMP Actuator system is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM sends
a pulse width modulated 12 volt signal to a Camshaft Position (CMP) Actuator Solenoid in order to
control the amount of engine oil flow to a cam Phaser passage. There are two different passages
for oil to flow through, a passage for cam advance and a passage for cam retard. The Cam Phaser
is attached to a camshaft and is hydraulically operated in order to change the angle of the camshaft
relative to crankshaft position. Engine oil pressure, viscosity, temperature and engine oil level can
have an adverse affect on cam phaser performance. The PCM calculates the optimum cam
position through the following inputs: Engine Speed
- Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP)
- Throttle Position (TP) Indicated Angle
- Crankshaft Position (CKP)
- Camshaft Position (CMP)
- Engine Load.
- Barometric (BARO) Pressure
The Cam Phaser default position is 0 degrees. The PCM uses the following inputs before assuming
control of the cam phaser: Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
- Closed Loop Fuel Control
- Engine Oil Temperature
- Engine Oil Pressure
- Engine Oil Level
- CMP Actuator Solenoid circuit state
- Ignition 1 signal voltage
- Barometric (BARO) Pressure
CMP ACTUATOR SOLENOID CIRCUIT DIAGNOSTICS
The PCM monitors the control circuits of the CMP Actuator Solenoid for electrical faults. The PCM
has the ability to determine if a control circuit is open, shorted high, and shorted low. If the PCM
detects a fault with a CMP Actuator Solenoid circuit a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set.
CMP ACTUATOR SYSTEM PERFORMANCE DIAGNOSTICS
The PCM monitors the performance of the CMP Actuator system by monitoring the actual and
desired positions of a cam phaser. If the difference between the actual and desired position is more
than a calibrated angle for more than a calibrated amount of time, a DTC will set.

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.

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

If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-C. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure
if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
- Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
- Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
- When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
- Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
- Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
- If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

Bulletin No.: 07-08-44-007
Date: April 17, 2007
INFORMATION
Subject: Information on Obtaining Replacement Navigation Discs When Radios are Exchanged Order Replacement Navigation Disc Through Navigation Disc Center
Models: 2007 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn) 2007 and Prior
HUMMER H2, H3 2007 and Prior Saab 9-7X
with a Navigation Radio
Attention:
The purpose of this bulletin is to inform dealership personnel of a new procedure for obtaining a
replacement navigation disc for radios that are sent to an ESC for exchange. This bulletin applies
to U.S. and Canadian dealers only and is not intended for use by export dealers.
When a navigation radio warranty exchange is performed, the customer must have a navigation
disc to operate the new radio. If the customer's navigation disc was damaged or is stuck in the
failed radio, the customer would have to wait for an excessive period of time for the disc to be
returned or replaced. The Electronic Service Centers (ESC) are not authorized to remove stuck
navigation discs from cores, as the cores must be returned to the supplier for analysis prior to any
disassembly. The time it would take for the supplier to return the navigation disc would significantly
delay the completion of the repair at the dealership.
If the customer's navigation disc is damaged or cannot be removed from the radio, the dealership
is to obtain an exchange radio through an ESC and a new navigation disc through the GM
Navigation Disc Center. Both items can be shipped overnight to the dealership upon request.
GM Navigation Disc Center Contact Information
Via the web through gmnavdisc.com
The GM Navigation Disc Center is also the center of expertise for navigation system questions.
Warranty Information
Include the part number and cost of the new navigation disc on the warranty claim for the
navigation radio exchange.

When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200
frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not
lost if the Scan Tool is powered down.
The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis.
The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected
values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and
numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful,
especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC.
Testing For a Short To Voltage
TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to
1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4.
Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Testing for Continuity
TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 2. Disconnect the power feed
(i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX
button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6.
Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no
resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other
lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6.
If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity.
Testing For Electrical Intermittents
TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS
Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at
convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment.
- Testing for Short to Ground
- Testing for Continuity
- Testing for a Short to Voltage
If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200
DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J
39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected.
IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J
39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and
maximum (MAX) values measured.
1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of
a suspected circuit to the other. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC)
position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4.
Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 ms RECORD and emits an
audible tone (beep).

Body Control Module: Diagnostic Aids
Basic Knowledge Required
BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED
Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures. You
should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current
(amps) and resistance (ohms). You should understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a
shorted wire. You should be able to read and understand a wiring diagram.
Checking Aftermarket Accessories
CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES
Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits:
CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions.
- SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol.
NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions.
- OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol.
Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical
problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on
accessories are not the cause of the problems.
Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include:
- Power feeds connected to points other than the battery
- Antenna location
- Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring
- Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line
- Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS
In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness
if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide
variety of actions, including:
- Wiggling the harness
- Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
- Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
- Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
- Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load
the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks,
jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by
manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short
and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max
mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results.
Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide
good results as well.
There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the
fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other
conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions,
along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the
circuit to these kinds of conditions.
Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in
water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance
the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more
readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture.
Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5
percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's
own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is
completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan
tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously.
Page 1940
3. Inspect the insulator (2) for cracks. All or part of the electrical charge may arc through the crack
instead of the electrodes (3, 4).
4. Inspect for evidence of improper arcing.
- Measure the gap between the center electrode (4) and the side electrode (3) terminals. An
excessively wide electrode gap can prevent correct spark plug operation.
- Inspect for the correct spark plug torque. Refer to Ignition System Specifications. Insufficient
torque can prevent correct spark plug operation. An over torqued spark plug, causes the insulator
(2) to crack.
- Inspect for signs of tracking that occurred near the insulator tip instead of the center electrode (4).
- Inspect for a broken or worn side electrode (3).
- Inspect for a broken, worn, or loose center electrode (4) by shaking the spark plug. A rattling sound indicates internal damage.
- A loose center electrode (4) reduces the spark intensity.
- Inspect for bridged electrodes (3, 4). Deposits on the electrodes (3, 4) reduce or eliminates the
gap.
- Inspect for worn or missing platinum pads on the electrodes (3, 4), if equipped.
- Inspect for excessive fouling.
5. Inspect the spark plug recess area of the cylinder head for debris. Dirty or damaged threads can
cause the spark plug not to seat correctly during
installation.
SPARK PLUG VISUAL INSPECTION
1. Normal operation-Brown to grayish-tan with small amounts of white powdery deposits are normal
combustion by-products from fuels with
additives.
2. Carbon fouled-Dry, fluffy black carbon, or soot caused by the following conditions:
- Rich fuel mixtures Leaking fuel injectors
- Excessive fuel pressure
- Restricted air filter element
- Incorrect combustion
- Reduced ignition system voltage output Weak coils

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

Important:
A part restriction has been implemented on all Body and I/P harnesses and is being administered
by the PQC. If a body or I/P harness replacement is required, it can take 12-28 weeks for a
harness to be built and delivered to a dealer. The dealer technician is expected to repair any
harness damage as the first and best choice before replacing a harness.
In an effort to standardize repair practices, General Motors is requiring that all wiring harnesses be
repaired instead of replaced. If there is a question concerning which connector and/or terminal you
are working on, refer to the information in the appropriate Connector End Views in SI. The
Instruction Manual J 38125-620, which is sent with each new update of the J 38125 Terminal
Repair Kit, also has terminal crimping and terminal remove information.
Important:
There are some parts in the J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit (i.e. SIR connector CPAs and heat shrink
tube (used in high heat area pigtail replacement) and some TPAs that are not available from
GMSPO. It is vitally important that each update to the J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit be done as soon
as it arrives at the dealer.
Utilize the Terminal Repair Kit (J 38125) to achieve an effective wiring repair. The Terminal Repair
Kit has been an essential tool for all GM Dealers since 1987. Replacement terminals and tools for
this kit are available through SPX/Kent Moore. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 06-08-45-001

Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6.
If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is
a short to ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2.
Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across
the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered).
- When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
- If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter
TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
The J 39200 instruction Data is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is
present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with
a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance
that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
- Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving.
- Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a
component or to other harnesses.
- If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used in
order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.

Important:
2001 and older model year vehicles require the removal of the battery power from the OnStar(R)
vehicle interface unit (VIU) to eliminate the possibility of an inadvertent OnStar(R) or
emergency/airbag call.
1. Locate and gain access to the OnStar® VIU. Refer to OnStar Vehicle Interface Unit
Replacement in SI.
Important:
Complete removal of the VIU is usually not required. Perform only the steps required to gain
access to the C2 32-way blue connector. Residing in the C2 connector are the battery positive (+)
circuits. Removal of the C2 connector will deactivate the unit and eliminate the possibility of an
inadvertent OnStar(R) or emergency/airbag call.

IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value
in order to record the full change.
5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling
the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations.
6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has
been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the
value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9.
Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values.
- If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 volt or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
- If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
- Wiring broken inside the insulation
- Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector.
- Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter, improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the
connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor
terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-C or the J 38125-4 Instruction Data for terminal identification.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2.
Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or
green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J 38125-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

Condition
Some customers may comment on higher than normal engine coolant temperature gauge readings
when operating the vehicle in very high outside ambient temperatures, and in stop and go or slow
moving traffic.
Cause
Reduced air flow across the radiator and preheated air from stopped or slow moving driving
conditions from traffic congestion may result in normally higher engine coolant operating
temperatures as indicated by the temperature gauge.
Correction
Technicians are to reprogram the PCM with an updated software calibration. This new service
calibration was released with TIS satellite data update version 7.3 available July 7, 2004. As
always, make sure your TECH 2(R) is updated with the latest software version.
This new calibration will cause the PCM to command small amounts of additional fan engagement
to control engine coolant temperatures and gauge readings closer to a customer perception of
normal.

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

Drive Belt Vibration Diagnosis
Test Description The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.
2. This test is to verify that the symptom is present during diagnosing. Other vehicle components
may cause a similar symptom such as the exhaust
system, or the drivetrain.
3. This test is to verify that the drive belt(s) or accessory drive components may be causing the
vibration. When removing the drive belt the water
pump may not be operating and the engine may overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is
operating with the drive belt removed.
4. The drive belt(s) may cause a vibration. While the drive belt(s) is removed this is the best time to
inspect the condition of the belt. 6. Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that a
wrong bolt, nut, spacer, or washer was installed. 8. This step should only be performed if the fan is
driven by the drive belt. Inspect the engine cooling fan for bent, twisted, loose, or cracked blades.
Inspect the fan clutch for smoothness, ease of turning. Inspect for a bent fan shaft or bent mounting
flange.
9. This step should only be performed if the water pump is driven by the drive belt. Inspect the
water pump shaft for being bent. Also inspect the
water pump bearings for smoothness and excessive play. Compare the water pump with a known
good water pump.
10. Accessory drive component brackets that are bent, cracked, or loose may put extra strain on
that accessory component causing it to vibrate.
Drive Belt Whine
Drive Belt Whine Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids The drive belt(s) will not cause the whine noise. If the whine noise is intermittent,
verify the accessory drive components by varying their loads making sure they are operated to their
maximum capacity. Such items but not limited to may be an A/C system overcharged, the power
steering system restricted or the wrong fluid, or the generator failing.

Audible Warning Device: Description and Operation
AUDIBLE WARNINGS DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The audible warnings alert the driver of a system concern or a critical vehicle condition. The radio
generates the audible warnings through the left front speaker. The radio receives audible warning
requests via the class 2 serial data line. If the radio receives multiple audible warning requests, the
warning with the highest priority sounds first. On vehicles with RPO UQA the audio amplifier,
instead of the radio, generates the audible warnings and receives audible warnings requests via
the class 2 serial data line. Either the radio or the audio amplifier is the chime producer. The
following lists the audible warning priority and the pulse rate: 1. Fast rate chime (200 pulses per
minute) 2. Medium rate chime (150 pulses per minute) 3. Slow rate chime (50 pulses per minute) 4.
Single chime
DOOR AJAR WARNING
The chime producer activates the door ajar audible warning as requested by the IPC. The IPC
sends a class 2 message to the chime producer indicating the chime duration (4 pulses). The door
ajar warning sounds and the appropriate DOOR AJAR indicator illuminates in the Driver
Information Center when the following occurs: The body control module (BCM) determines that a door (driver door, passenger door, left rear door,
right rear door) is open and the signal circuit is low. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the
BCM indicating the door ajar status.
- The vehicle is not in park. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the PCM indicating the gear
position.
- The vehicle speed is greater than 8.05 km/h (5 MPH). The IPC uses the vehicle speed signal
circuit (4000 pulses/mile) from the PCM in order to calculate the vehicle speed.
FASTEN SAFETY BELT WARNING
The chime producer activates the fasten safety belt audible warning as requested by the IPC. The
IPC sends a class 2 message to the chime producer indicating the duration (8 seconds). The
fasten safety belt warning sounds and the fasten safety belt indicator illuminates when the following
occurs: The ignition switch transitions to ON.
- The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) detects that the driver's seat belt is
not buckled (signal is low). The IPC receives a class 2 message from the SDM indicating the
driver's seat belt status.
If the seat belt is buckled when the ignition is turned on, the chime does not sound. If the seat belt
is buckled while the chime is sounding, the chime stops. If the seat belt is unbuckled after the initial
transition to ON, the chime does not sound.
KEY-IN-IGNITION WARNING
The chime producer activates the key-in-ignition audible warning as requested by the IPC. The IPC
sends a class 2 message to the chime producer indicating the chime frequency and duration
(continuous). The key-in-ignition warning sounds when the following occurs: The ignition switch is OFF.
- The body control module (BCM) determines that the driver's door is open and the signal circuit is
low. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the BCM indicating the door ajar status.
- The BCM determines that the key-in-ignition switch is closed and the signal circuit is low. The IPC
receives a class 2 message from the BCM indicating the key-in-ignition status.
LIGHTS ON WARNING
The chime producer activates the lights on warning as requested by the body control module
(BCM). The BCM sends a class 2 message to the chime producer indicating the chime frequency
(fast rate) and duration (continuous). The lights on warning sounds when the following occurs: The ignition is OFF.
- The BCM determines that the driver's door is open and the signal circuit is low.
- The BCM determines that the headlamp switch is in the park or head position.

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

FLAT WIRE REPAIRS
NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists
within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.

REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER SYSTEM COMPONENTS
The rear window defogger system consist of the following components: HVAC control module
- Liftgate module (LGM)
- Rear window defogger grid
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER OPERATION
Battery positive voltage is supplied through the LGM 2 fuse to the LGM for the rear window
defogger system. When you turn the ignition to the ON position, and the rear window defogger
switch is depressed. The HVAC control module illuminates the rear window defogger indicator and
sends a class 2 message to the LGM to enable the rear window defogger system. The LGM enable
the rear window defogger system by allowing battery positive voltage to the rear window defogger.
When you turn ON the ignition and press the rear window defogger switch for the first time, the
defogger cycle lasts 10 minutes. Further operation results in 10 minute defogger cycles.

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

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

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

Removal Procedure
Page 574
Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from
voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure.
1. Open the harness.
- If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
- To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
- If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode.
2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow
direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable
soldering tool.
IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the
connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool.
5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not
remove any more than is needed to attach the
new diode.
6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias.
Reference the appropriate Service Data wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. 9. Tape the diode to the
harness or connector using electrical tape.
IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire
and diode attachment points with tape.
Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable
SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE
Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable
of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and
other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below
in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable.
1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap
the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the
splice is made.
3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire.
Staggering the splices by 65 mm is recommended.
IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical
contact with the drain wire.
4. Re-assemble the cable.
- Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape.
- Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1).
- Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire.
- Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with mylar tape.

System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that, after severe weather that includes large amounts of rain in a
short period of time, the engine has a rough idle and/or flashing MIL/SES light. Upon further
investigation, there may be the following DTC(s): P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305 or
P0306.
This condition can be aggravated if the vehicle is parked nose down on an incline during this type
of weather. The customer may also comment on repeat occurrences of this condition because
water may be passing over the Air Intake Plenum (AIP).
Cause
The dripping rain water onto the engine cam cover will collect at the coil(s) and may seep past the
coil(s) into the spark plug(s) well of the cylinder head and may affect the operation of the spark
plug(s) and coil(s), causing the misfire(s).
Correction
Before replacing the AIP seal, refer to Misfire diagnostics in SI to determine if water intrusion was
the cause of the misfire.
Diagnostic Aids for Misfire
Refer to SI for Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine Noises.
If no trouble found (NTF) using SI document on Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine
Noises, then refer to SI for Misfire DTC(s).
If Misfire diagnostic leads to the removal of the coil(s) and spark plug(s), refer to the following SI

and Prior Saab 9-7X 2000-2005 Saturn L Series 2003-2007 Saturn ION
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to considerably expand the available information on
Radial Force Variation (RFV) and should be reviewed in whole. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 00-03-10-006E (Section 03 - Suspension).
Important
- Before measuring tires on equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700, the vehicle MUST be driven
a minimum of 16 km (10 mi) to ensure removal of any flat-spotting. Refer to Corporate Bulletin
Number 03-03-10-007E - Tire/Wheel Characteristics of GM Original Equipment Tires.
- Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 MUST be calibrated prior to measuring tire/wheel
assemblies for each vehicle.
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide guidance to GM dealers when using tire force variation
measurement equipment, such as the Hunter GSP9700. This type of equipment can be a valuable
tool in diagnosing vehicle ride concerns. The most common ride concern involving tire radial force
variation is highway speed shake on smooth roads.
Tire related smooth road highway speed shake can be caused by three conditions: imbalance, out
of round and tire force variation. These three conditions are not necessarily related. All three
conditions must be addressed.
Imbalance is normally addressed first, because it is the simpler of the three to correct. Off-vehicle,
two plane dynamic wheel balancers are readily available and can accurately correct any
imbalance. Balancer calibration and maintenance, proper attachment of the wheel to the balancer,
and proper balance weights, are all factors required for a quality balance. However, a perfectly
balanced tire/wheel assembly can still be "oval shaped" and cause a vibration.
Before balancing, perform the following procedures.
Tire and Wheel Diagnosis
1. Set the tire pressure to the placard values. 2. With the vehicle raised, ensure the wheels are
centered on the hub by loosening all wheel nuts and hand-tightening all nuts first by hand while
shaking the wheel, then torque to specifications using a torque wrench, NOT a torque stick.
3. Visually inspect the tires and the wheels. Inspect for evidence of the following conditions and
correct as necessary:
- Missing balance weights
- Bent rim flange
- Irregular tire wear
- Incomplete bead seating
- Tire irregularities (including pressure settings)
- Mud/ice build-up in wheel
- Stones in the tire tread
- Remove any aftermarket wheels and/or tires and restore vehicle to original condition prior to
diagnosing a smooth road shake condition.
4. Road test the vehicle using the Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA) essential tool. Drive for a
sufficient distance on a known, smooth road
surface to duplicate the condition. Determine if the vehicle is sensitive to brake apply. If the brakes
are applied lightly and the pulsation felt in the steering wheel increases, refer to the Brakes section
of the service manual that deals with brake-induced pulsation. If you can start to hear the vibration
as a low boom noise (in addition to feeling it), but cannot see it, the vehicle likely has a first order
(one pulse per propshaft revolution) driveline vibration. Driveline first order vibrations are high
enough in frequency that most humans can start to hear them at highway speeds, but are too high
to be able to be easily seen. These issues can be caused by driveline imbalance or misalignment.
If the vehicle exhibits this low boom and the booming pulses in-and-out on a regular basis (like a
throbbing), chances are good that the vehicle could have driveline vibration. This type

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.

Ambient Temperature Sensor / Switch HVAC: Description and Operation
AIR TEMPERATURE SENSORS
The air temperature sensors are a 2 wire negative temperature co-efficient thermistor. The vehicle
uses the following air temperature sensors: Ambient Air Temperature Sensor
- Inside Air Temperature Sensor Assembly
- Upper Left Air Temperature Sensor
- Upper Right Air Temperature Sensor
- Lower Left Air Temperature Sensor
- Lower Right Air Temperature Sensor
A signal and low reference circuit enables the sensor to operate. As the air temperature
surrounding the sensor increases, the sensor resistance decreases. The sensor signal voltage
decreases as the resistance decreases. The sensor operates within a temperature range between
-40°C (-40°F) to 101°C (215°F). The sensor signal varies between 0-5 volts.
The input of the duct air temperature sensors are different from the ambient and inside sensors.
The HVAC control module converts the signal to a range between 0-255 counts. As the air
temperature increases the count value will decrease.
If the HVAC control module detects a malfunctioning sensor, then the control module software will
use a defaulted air temperature value. The default value for the ambient and inside air temperature
sensors will be displayed on the scan tool. The default value for the duct air temperature sensors
will not be displayed on the scan tool. The scan tool parameter for the duct air temperature sensors
are the actual state of the signal circuit. The default action ensures that the HVAC system can
adjust the inside air temperature near the desired temperature until the condition is corrected.
The ambient air temperature sensor mounts underhood and can be affected by city traffic, by idling,
and by restarting a hot engine. Therefore, the HVAC control module filters the value of the ambient
air temperature sensor for temperature display. The ambient air temperature value is updated
under the following conditions:
The scan tool has the ability to update the displayed ambient air temperature. To update the
ambient air temperature display on the HVAC control module, perform the following procedure:
Simultaneously press the MODE, FRONT DEFROST and REAR DEFROST switches. 1. Turn ON
the ignition. 2. Simultaneously press the MODE, FRONT DEFROST and REAR DEFROST
switches.

Repairs and Inspections Required After a Collision: Service and Repair Seat Belt System
REPAIRS AND INSPECTIONS REQUIRED AFTER A COLLISION
CAUTION: Restraint systems can be damaged in a collision. To help avoid injury and ensure that
all parts in need of replacement are replaced: Replace any seat belt system that was in use during the collision serious enough to deploy any
automatic restraint device such as air bags and seat belt pretensioners. This not only includes seat
belt systems in use by people of adult size, but seat belt systems used to secure child restraints,
infant carriers and booster seats, including LATCH system and top tether anchorages.
- Replace any seat belt system that has torn, worn, or damaged components. This not only
includes adult seat belt systems, but built-in child restraints and LATCH system components, if any.
- Replace any seat belt system if you observe the words "REPLACE" or "CAUTION", or if a yellow
tag is visible. Do not replace a seat belt if only the child seat caution label is visible.
- Replace any seat belt system if you are doubtful about its condition. This not only includes adult
seat belt systems, but built-in child restraints, LATCH system components, and any restraint
system used to secure infant carriers, child restraints, and booster seats.
Do NOT replace single seat belt system components in vehicles that have been in a collision as
described above. Always replace the entire seat belt system with the buckle, guide and retractor
assembly, which includes the latch and webbing material.
After a minor collision where no automatic restraint device was deployed, seat belt system
replacement may not be necessary, unless some of the parts are torn, worn, or damaged.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bulletin No.: 09-08-46-001

Subject: Servicing Vehicles Upgraded to OnStar(R) Generation 6 Digital‐Capable System
(Follow Information Below)
Models
Attention:
This bulletin is being issued to provide dealer personnel with information and the procedures to
diagnose an upgraded OnStar(R) Generation 6 Digital-Capable system.
Program Overview
Since it was launched in 1996, OnStar® has relied on an analog wireless network to provide
communication to and from OnStar-equipped vehicles. As part of an industry wide change in the
North American wireless telecommunications industry, wireless carriers are transitioning to digital
technology and will no longer support the analog wireless network beginning early 2008.
Effective January 1, 2008, OnStar(R) service in the United States and Canada will be available
only through vehicles that are capable of operating on the digital network.
Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-08-46-006H for information about upgrading certain
vehicles to digital service. Details were covered in both the November 2006 and December 2007
issues of TechLink, which are available in the Archives of the TechLink website.
Vehicles eligible for an OnStar(R) hardware upgrade are listed in this bulletin. Vehicle
upgradeability can also be determined by typing the VIN into the field entitled "Determine VIN
Hardware Functionality" on the OnStar(R) Online Enrollment website, located in the sales or
service workbench tab of GM GlobalConnect. Canadian Dealers can use a similar tool that is
available within the OnStar(R) Canada Online Enrollment site that can be accessed from the
OnStar(R) Brand Resources in GlobalConnect.
Access to the sales and/or service workbench in the GM GlobalConnect website can be granted by
the dealership's Partner Security Coordinator (PSC).

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

Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
- Wiring broken inside the insulation
- Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector.
- Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter, improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the
connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor
terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-C or the J 38125-4 Instruction Data for terminal identification.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2.
Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or
green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J 38125-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

Tire Monitor System - TPM Sensor Information
Tire Pressure Monitor Receiver / Transponder: Technical Service Bulletins Tire Monitor System TPM Sensor Information
INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 08-03-16-003
Date: May 12, 2008
Subject: Warranty Reduction - Transfer of Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Sensors to
Replacement Wheels and Allowable TPM Sensor Replacements
Models: 2000-2009 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2003-2009
HUMMER H2 2006-2009 HUMMER H3 2005-2009 Saab 9-7x
with On-Wheel TPM Sensors
TPM Sensor / Wheel Warranty Reviews
During the last warranty review period it was noted that wheels being returned under the GM New
Vehicle Warranty were being shipped back to General Motors with the TPM sensor still attached to
the wheel. Return rates ran as high as 60% with the TPM sensors still attached. Operational TPM
sensors should not be returned to GM and are to be transferred to replacement wheels if they
become necessary.
Important:
Operational TPM Sensors that are returned under warranty to General Motors will be charged back
to the dealer.Sensors have a 10 year /150,000 mile (240,000 km) battery life, and should be
transferred if one or more wheels are replaced.
TPM Valve Stem / Grommet (0-ring) Replacement
When the TPM sensors are transferred to new wheels you should replace the component used to
seal the TPM sensor stem to the wheel. On sensors with an aluminum stem and visible nut on the
outside of the wheel a replacement grommet (0-ring) should be used to assure a proper seal. The
sensor retaining nut (except Aveo) should be tightened to 7 N.m (62 lb in) for all vehicles except
Pontiac Vibe (4.0 N.m (35.4 lb in)).
Important:
^ DO NOT overtorque the retaining nut.
Notice:
^ Factory installed TPM Sensors come with plastic aluminum or nickel-plated brass stem caps.
These caps should not be changed. Chrome plated steel caps may cause corrosion of aluminum
valve stems due to incompatibility of the metals.
On current style sensors the entire rubber stem is replaceable. The service interval on the revised
TPM sensor with replaceable stem is the same as for any other traditional valve stem. Replace the
stem at the time of tire replacement sensor transfer or whenever air seepage is suspected at the
valve stem. When replacing the valve stem tighten the screw to 1.3 N.m (11.5 lb in).
For either style of TPM sensor see the service parts guide for the correct GM part numbers to order
and use.

H2, H3 Models 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X
with OnStar(R) (RPO UE1)
This bulletin is being issued to provide dealer service personnel with information regarding
aftermarket devices connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC) and the impact to
OnStar(R) diagnostic probes and Vehicle Diagnostic e-mails.
Certain aftermarket devices, when connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector, such as, but not
limited to, Scan Tools, Trip Computers, Fuel Economy Analyzers and Insurance Tracking Devices,
interfere with OnStar's ability to perform a diagnostic probe when requested (via a blue button call)
by a subscriber. These devices also prohibit the ability to gather diagnostic and tire pressure data
for a subscriber's scheduled OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail.
These aftermarket devices utilize the Vehicles serial data bus to perform data requests and/or
information gathering. When these devices are requesting data, OnStar(R) is designed not to
interfere with any data request being made by these devices as required by OBD II regulations.
The OnStar(R) advisor is unable to definitively detect the presence of these devices and will only
be able to inform the caller or requester of the unsuccessful or incomplete probe and may in some
cases refer the subscriber/requester to take the vehicle to a dealer for diagnosis of the concern.
When performing a diagnostic check for an unsuccessful or incomplete OnStar(R) diagnostic
probe, or for concerns regarding completeness of the OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail,
verify that an aftermarket device was not present at the time of the requested probe. Regarding the
OVD e-mail, if an aftermarket device is interfering (including a Scan Tool of any type), the e-mail
will consistently display a "yellow" indication in diagnostics section for all vehicle systems except
the OnStar(R) System and Tire Pressure data (not available on all vehicles) will not be displayed
(i.e. section is collapsed). Successful diagnostic probes and complete OVD e-mails will resume
following the removal or disconnecting of the off-board device.

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

Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors.
Backprobe
IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
- Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector.
- Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
- After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a
trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot.
The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows
comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a
first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be
lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
- Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
- Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information

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.

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
The supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system/supplemental restraint system (SRS) requires
special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific
procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system
terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.
The tool kit J 38125-C contains the following items:
- Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction Data
The sealed splices have the following 2 critical features:
- A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
- A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The J 38125-C also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items:
- A large sampling of common electrical terminals
- The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires
- The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-C. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.
SIR/SRS Wire Repair
Tools Required J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you
are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
Page 12805
6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the
middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper
handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing:
- The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
- A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-C if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA
ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to
ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the
plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated
in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a
terminal for replacement.
Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips
SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS
IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and
seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves.
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
1. Open the harness.
- If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
- To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
- If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire.
2. Cut the wire.
- Cut as little wire off the harness as possible.
- Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and
connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage.
3. Select the proper size and type of wire.
- The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link).
- The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating.

Parts Information
Engine Controls - Hesitation/Stall/Harsh A/T Upshifts
Control Module: Customer Interest Engine Controls - Hesitation/Stall/Harsh A/T Upshifts
Bulletin No.: 03-06-04-057
Date: October 01, 2003
TECHNICAL
Subject:
Intermittent Hesitation, Stumble or Idle Stall after Soak, Harsh 1-2 Shift, Slipping 1-2 Shift Followed
by a Harsh Engagement (Reprogram PCM)
Models: 2002-2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer 2002-2003 GMC Envoy 2002-2003 Oldsmobile Bravada
with 4.2L Engine (VIN S - RPO LL8)
Condition
Some customers may comment on an intermittent hesitation/stumble or idle stall within minutes of
starting after the vehicle has been sitting for several hours. Additionally, some customers with a
2003 model year vehicle may comment on a harsh 1-2 shift or 1-2 slip shift that has a bump feeling
when 2nd gear engages.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the EVAP diagnostic test as it opens the purge valve for a few
seconds and then closes it to verify proper emission sensor operation. If the purge canister is
saturated, the EVAP system on-board diagnostic test may cause the vehicle to correct for a rich
condition from the canister. The vehicle would then become lean when the purge valve closes at
the completion of the test. This condition occurs primarily with high RVP fuel and after the vehicle
sits for several hours in a warm ambient, above 21°C (70°F). A customer who takes short trips is
more likely to experience this condition, as they don't have the drive cycle that would allow the
purge canister to fully re-circulate the fuel vapor.
Correction
For Hesitation, Stumble or Idle Stall:
Follow the SI diagnostics for the stall/stumble condition. If the result is no trouble found, then
reprogram the module with the latest calibration.
For Harsh or Slipping Shifts on 2003 Model Year vehicles:
Reprogram the module with the latest calibration.
The calibrations listed are electronic calibrations and are NOT available from GMSPO. Calibrations
will be available from Techline starting September 2003, on the TIS 2003 Disc 10.0 CD ROM.

- If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
- Wiring broken inside the insulation
- Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector.
- Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter, improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the
connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor
terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-C or the J 38125-4 Instruction Data for terminal identification.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2.
Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or
green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J 38125-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
Engine Compression Test
Tools Required J 38722 Compression Tester
A compression pressure test of the engine cylinders determines the condition of the rings, the
valves, and the head gasket.
Important: The battery must be at or near full charge.
1. Remove the air duct from the throttle control module. 2. Remove the ignition control modules. 3.
Disable the fuel system.
4. Remove the spark clues. 5. Measure the engine compression, using the following procedure:
5.1. Firmly install J 38722 to the spark plug hole.
5.2. Have an assistant crank the engine through at least four compression strokes in the testing
cylinder.
5.3. Check and record the readings on J 38722 at each stroke.
5.4. Disconnect J 38722.
5.5. Repeat the compression test for each cylinder.
6. Record the compression readings from all of the cylinders. A normal reading should be
approximately 1482 kPa (215 psi). The lowest reading
should not be less than 70 percent of the highest reading.
7. The following are examples of the possible measurements:
- When the compression measurement is normal, the compression builds up quickly and evenly to
the specified compression on each cylinder.
- When the compression is low on the first stroke and tends to build up on the following strokes, but
does not reach the normal compression, or if the compression improves considerably with the
addition of three squirts of oil, the piston rings may be the cause.
- When the compression is low on the first stroke and does not build up in the following strokes, or
the addition of oil does not affect the compression, the valves may be the cause.
- When the compression is low on two adjacent cylinders, or coolant is present in the crankcase,
the head gasket may be the cause.
8. Install the air duct to the throttle body. 9. Install the spark plugs.
10. Enable the fuel system. 11. Install the ignition control modules.

If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-C. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure
if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
- Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
- Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
- When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
- Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
- Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
- If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

Test Description
DTC U1001 and U1254
Circuit/System Description
Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during
normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the
modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module
records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health
monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the
module use a default value for that parameter. Once an identification number is learned by a
module, it will monitor for that module's Node Alive message. Each module on the class 2 serial
data circuit which is powered and performing functions that require detection of a communications
malfunction is required to send a Node Alive message every 2 seconds. When no message is
detected from a learned identification number for 5 seconds, a DTC U1XXX where XXX is equal to
the 3-digit identification number is set.

Models: 2009 and Prior GM Passenger Car and Truck (including Saturn) 2009 and Prior HUMMER
H2, H3 Models 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X
with OnStar(R) (RPO UE1)
This bulletin is being issued to provide dealer service personnel with information regarding
aftermarket devices connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC) and the impact to
OnStar(R) diagnostic probes and Vehicle Diagnostic e-mails.
Certain aftermarket devices, when connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector, such as, but not
limited to, Scan Tools, Trip Computers, Fuel Economy Analyzers and Insurance Tracking Devices,
interfere with OnStar's ability to perform a diagnostic probe when requested (via a blue button call)
by a subscriber. These devices also prohibit the ability to gather diagnostic and tire pressure data
for a subscriber's scheduled OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail.
These aftermarket devices utilize the Vehicles serial data bus to perform data requests and/or
information gathering. When these devices are requesting data, OnStar(R) is designed not to
interfere with any data request being made by these devices as required by OBD II regulations.
The OnStar(R) advisor is unable to definitively detect the presence of these devices and will only
be able to inform the caller or requester of the unsuccessful or incomplete probe and may in some
cases refer the subscriber/requester to take the vehicle to a dealer for diagnosis of the concern.
When performing a diagnostic check for an unsuccessful or incomplete OnStar(R) diagnostic
probe, or for concerns regarding completeness of the OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail,
verify that an aftermarket device was not present at the time of the requested probe. Regarding the
OVD e-mail, if an aftermarket device is interfering (including a Scan Tool of any type), the e-mail
will consistently display a "yellow" indication in diagnostics section for all vehicle systems except
the OnStar(R) System and Tire Pressure data (not available on all vehicles) will not be displayed
(i.e. section is collapsed). Successful diagnostic probes and complete OVD e-mails will resume
following the removal or disconnecting of the off-board device.

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

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.

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

Notice: Whenever the rotor has been separated from the axle flange, clean any rust or foreign
material from the mating surface of the axle flange and brake rotor. Failure to do this may result in
increased lateral runout of the rotor and brake pulsation.
Important: If the brake rotor is not going to be replaced but just removed from the front hub to be
refinished, mark the brake rotor left or right and relationship of the brake rotor and a wheel stud. In
doing so, is will reduce the possibility of vibration in the brake system.
9. Remove the brake rotor.
10. Using the J 42450-A, clean the brake rotor to rear axle flange contact area. 11. Refinish the
rotor if necessary.
Installation Procedure
1. Clean the park brake shoes using denatured alcohol. 2. Dry the park shoes using non-lubricated,
filtered air. 3. Lubricate the contact area between the park brake shoe and the backing plate with
high temperature silicone brake lubricant.
Page 2396
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.

If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-C. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure
if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
- Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
- Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
- When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
- Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
- Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
- If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

Effective with Julian date 4019 (January 19, 2004), the 4T65E transaxle cases and cooler fittings
have changed and are not interchangeable with past models. The technician may find that when
replacing the inlet or outlet transmission cooler lines, the new lines cannot be connected to the
transmission.
A change to the transmission cooler line fittings was implemented in production on February 1,
2004. The cooler line fittings were changed to a design with a longer lead in pilot (1). The cooler
line fittings with the longer lead in pilot will not fit on models built before February 1, 2004.
The longer lead in pilot fittings (1) (9/16-18 UNF) have replaced the shorter lead in pilot fittings (2)
(3/8-18 NPSF w/check ball & 1/4-18 NPSF).
If the transmission cooler lines will not connect, then replace them with the following cooler line
fittings as appropriate with the older, shorter lead in pilot design:
^ For vehicles built prior to February 1, 2004, use Transmission Fluid Cooler Inlet Hose, P/N
20793004.
^ For vehicles built after February 1, 2004, use Transmission Fluid Cooler Inlet Hose, second

6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the
middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper
handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing:
- The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
- A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-C if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA
ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to
ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the
plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated
in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a
terminal for replacement.

Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a
trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot.
The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows
comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a
first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be
lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
- Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
- Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information

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

COUPLING REPLACEMENT - ANTENNA OUTER
REMOVAL PROCEDURE
1. Install the inner coupling first, if both the inner and outer couplings are to be replaced.
IMPORTANT: The adhesion promoter must be used to assure adequate bonding of the coupling.
- To obtain maximum adhesion between the new cellular antenna couplings and the glass surface,
the cellular antenna couplings and the glass must be kept dry and above 15°C (60°F) during the
installation, and for 24 hours immediately following the installation. Otherwise the new couplings
may not remain on the glass.
- Do not attempt to reinstall the original couplings using any type of glue, adhesive tapes, etc.
Doing so, may eliminate the cellular signal transfer through the glass and reduce the maximum
performance of the system, including the air bag deployment notification.
1. Use a thin, wide-bladed plastic tool to cut the double back tape material, while lifting up on the
outer antenna coupling.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Clean the outside of the back glass with alcohol wipe. 2. Dry the glass thoroughly using a lint
free cloth. 3. Apply Glass Adhesion Promoter GM P/N 12378555 (Canadian P/N 88901239) to the
back glass in the area the antenna coupling is to be installed.
Follow the Glass Adhesion Promoter instructions on the product label.
IMPORTANT: The adhesion promoter must be used to assure adequate bonding of the coupling.

When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200
frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not
lost if the Scan Tool is powered down.
The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis.
The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected
values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and
numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful,
especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC.
Testing For a Short To Voltage
TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to
1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4.
Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Testing for Continuity
TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 2. Disconnect the power feed
(i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX
button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6.
Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no
resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other
lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6.
If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity.
Testing For Electrical Intermittents
TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS
Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at
convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment.
- Testing for Short to Ground
- Testing for Continuity
- Testing for a Short to Voltage
If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200
DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J
39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected.
IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J
39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and
maximum (MAX) values measured.
1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of
a suspected circuit to the other. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC)
position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4.
Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 ms RECORD and emits an
audible tone (beep).
Page 12971
IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value
in order to record the full change.
5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling
the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations.
6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has
been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the
value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9.
Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values.
- If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 volt or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
- If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
- Wiring broken inside the insulation
- Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector.
- Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter, improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the
connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor
terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-C or the J 38125-4 Instruction Data for terminal identification.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2.
Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or
green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J 38125-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

This bulletin is being revised to add the 2006 model year and update the calibration release date.
Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 05-01-39-002 (Section 01 - HVAC).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a musty odor from the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning
(HVAC) system. This condition occurs most often on initial start up after the vehicle was driven on
a hot humid day.
Cause
This condition may be caused by condensate build-up on the evaporator core, which does not
evaporate by itself in high humidity conditions.
Correction
Important:
The afterblow function should not be enabled until after the purpose and operation of it is explained
to your customer and they approve of the change. Once the afterblow function is enabled there are
no calibrations currently released to disable it.
Technicians are to reprogram the HVAC Control Module with an updated software calibration that
will enable the afterblow function. The new calibration will be released beginning with TIS satellite
data update version 2.0, which was made available February 5, 2006. The blower motor will turn on
approximately 10 minutes after the vehicle is shut off. The blower motor will run continuously for 10
minutes at a 30% duty cycle. The afterblow function will only activate if the air conditioning
compressor was engaged during conditions of high ambient temperature. If the vehicle is started
within 10 minutes of the last key off, the afterblow function from the previous key cycle will be
cancelled.
Technicians should not attempt to reprogram a vehicle with a Manual Temperature Control HVAC
system (RPO CJ3).

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 09-08-46-001
Date: April 09, 2009
Subject: Servicing Vehicles Upgraded to OnStar(R) Generation 6 Digital‐Capable System
(Follow Information Below)
Models
Attention:
This bulletin is being issued to provide dealer personnel with information and the procedures to
diagnose an upgraded OnStar(R) Generation 6 Digital-Capable system.
Program Overview
Since it was launched in 1996, OnStar® has relied on an analog wireless network to provide
communication to and from OnStar-equipped vehicles. As part of an industry wide change in the
North American wireless telecommunications industry, wireless carriers are transitioning to digital
technology and will no longer support the analog wireless network beginning early 2008.
Effective January 1, 2008, OnStar(R) service in the United States and Canada will be available
only through vehicles that are capable of operating on the digital network.
Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-08-46-006H for information about upgrading certain
vehicles to digital service. Details were covered in both the November 2006 and December 2007
issues of TechLink, which are available in the Archives of the TechLink website.
Vehicles eligible for an OnStar(R) hardware upgrade are listed in this bulletin. Vehicle
upgradeability can also be determined by typing the VIN into the field entitled "Determine VIN
Hardware Functionality" on the OnStar(R) Online Enrollment website, located in the sales or
service workbench tab of GM GlobalConnect. Canadian Dealers can use a similar tool that is
available within the OnStar(R) Canada Online Enrollment site that can be accessed from the
OnStar(R) Brand Resources in GlobalConnect.
Access to the sales and/or service workbench in the GM GlobalConnect website can be granted by
the dealership's Partner Security Coordinator (PSC).

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

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

Diagnostic Aids Excessive wear on a drive belt(s) is usually caused by an incorrect installation or
the wrong drive belt for the application.
Minor misalignment of the drive belt pulleys will not cause excessive wear, but will probably cause
the drive belt(s) to make a noise or to fall off.
Excessive misalignment of the drive belt pulleys will cause excessive wear but may also make the
drive belt(s) fall off.
Drive Belt Excessive Wear Diagnosis
Test Description The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.
2. The inspection is to verify the drive belt(s) is correctly installed on all of the drive belt pulleys.
Wear on the drive belt(s) may be caused by
mix-positioning the drive belt(s) by one groove on a pulley.
3. The installation of a drive belt that is two wide or two narrow will cause wear on the drive belt.
The drive belt ribs should match all of the grooves
on all of the pulleys.
4. This inspection is to verify the drive belt(s) is not contacting any parts of the engine or body while
the engine is operating. There should be
sufficient clearance when the drive belt accessory drive components load varies. The drive belt(s)
should not come in contact with an engine or a body component when snapping the throttle.
Drive Belt Falls Off
Drive Belt Falls Off Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids If the drive belt(s) repeatedly falls off the drive belt pulleys, this is because of pulley
misalignment. An extra load that is quickly applied on released by an accessory drive component
may cause the drive belt to fall off the pulleys. Verify the accessory drive components operate
properly. If the drive belt(s) is the incorrect length, the drive belt tensioner may not keep the proper
tension on the drive belt.

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

When Servicing transmissions with the new seal design, use the following precautions:
^ The outer diameter of the pump assembly and case bore must be clean and free of burrs or
raised surfaces. Be aware of sharp edges that could damage the seal during installation.
^ The seal should be clean and dry before installation. It does not require lubrication for installation.
^ The seal should be inspected prior to installation for obvious damage.
^ It is preferable to hand-start the seal positioning the seal evenly around the case bore before
installing the torque converter housing.
^ The seal can be easily removed by prying it out, typical of a pressed-on seal.
^ The seal may be reused, however a thorough inspection must be performed. Inspect the seal for
the following conditions:
^ Distortion of the metal carrier or separation from the rubber seal.
^ A cut, deformed, or damaged seal.
^ Refer to the appropriate unit repair information in SI for seal removal and installation procedures.

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.

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.

Using Connector Test Adapters
USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS
NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-A Connector Test Adapter Kit or the J
42675 Flat Wire Probe Adapter Kit in order to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other
substitutes as they can damage terminals and cause incorrect measurements.
Using Fused Jumper Wires
USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire
IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged.
The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without
damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some
circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested.
Connector Position Assurance Locks
CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS
The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of
all the SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate
apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR mating
terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance Locks
TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS
The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control
module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not
remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.

6. A state of health DTC with a history status may be present along with a U1000 or U1255 code
having a current status. This indicates that the
malfunction occurred when the ignition was ON.
7. Data link connector terminals 2 and 5 provide the connection to the class 2 serial data circuit and
the signal ground circuit respectively.
10. A poor connection at DLC terminal of the splice pack SP205 would cause this condition but will
not set a DTC. 11. An open in the class 2 serial data circuit between the DLC and splice pack
SP205 will prevent the scan tool from communicating with any module.
This condition will not set a DTC.
12. The class 2 serial data circuit is shorted to voltage or ground. The condition may be due to the
wiring or due to a malfunction in one of the
modules. When testing the wire for a short, make sure there is not a module connected to the wire
being tested. This test isolates the BCM and the PCM class 2 serial data circuits.
13. This test isolates the BCM class 2 serial data circuits. 16. The BCM detects that the ignition is
ON and sends the appropriate power mode message to the other modules. Therefore, the BCM
must remain
connected to the DLC for any other module to communicate with the scan tool. This test isolates
the splice pack SP306 serial data circuits.
21. This test isolates the rest of the splice pack SP205 serial data circuits. 25. If there are no
current DTCs that begin with a "U", the communication malfunction has been repaired. 26. The
communication malfunction may have prevented diagnosis of the customer complaint.

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

If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-C. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure
if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
- Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
- Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
- When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
- Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
- Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
- If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

Global Positioning System Antenna: Description and Operation
CELLULAR AND NAVIGATION ANTENNAS
This vehicle will be equipped with either separate cellular and navigation antennas, or a
combination cellular and navigation antenna, which brings the functions of both into a single part.
The cellular antenna is the component that allows the OnStar(R) system to send and receive data
over airwaves by means of cellular technology. This antenna is connected at the base to a coax
cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The navigation antenna is used to collect the constant
signals of the orbiting satellites. Within the antenna, is housed a low noise amplifier that allows for
a more broad and precise reception of this data. Current GPS location is collected by the module
every time a keypress is made. The OnStar(R) Call Center also has the capability of pinging the
vehicle during an OnStar(R) call, which commands the module to retrieve the latest GPS location
and transmit it to the OnStar(R) Call Center. A history location of the last recorded position of the
vehicle is stored in the module and marked as aged. In the event the VCP loses or is removed from
power, this history location is used by the OnStar(R) Call Center as a default. Actual GPS location
may take up to 10 minutes to register in the event of a loss of power. This antenna requires a clear
and unobstructed path to the satellites in the sky. Window tinting on vehicles may interfere with the
GPS sensor functions, depending upon the amount of darkening and/or metallic particles that are
embedded in the film of the tinting material.

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

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
The supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system/supplemental restraint system (SRS) requires
special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific
procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system
terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.
The tool kit J 38125-C contains the following items:
- Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction Data
The sealed splices have the following 2 critical features:
- A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
- A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The J 38125-C also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items:
- A large sampling of common electrical terminals
- The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires
- The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-C. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.

Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection Drive Belt Chirping
Drive Belt Chirping Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids The symptom may be intermittent due to moisture on the drive belt(s) or the
pulleys. It may be necessary to spray a small amount of water on the drive belt(s) in order to
duplicate the customers concern. If spraying water on the drive belt(s) duplicates the symptom,
cleaning the belt pulleys may be the probable solution. A loose or improper installation of a body
component, a suspension component, or other items of the vehicle may cause the chirping noise.
Drive Belt Chirping Diagnosis
Test Description The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.
2. The noise may not be engine related. This step is to verify that the engine is making the noise. If
the engine is not making the noise do not proceed
further with this table.
3. The noise may be an internal engine noise. Removing the drive belt and operating the engine for
a brief period will verify the noise is related to the
drive belt. When removing the drive belt(s) the water pump may not be operating and the engine
may overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive belt removed.
4. Inspect all drive belt pulleys for pilling. Pilling is the small balls or pills or it may be strings in the
drive belt grooves from the accumulation of
rubber dust.
6. Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from improper mounting of the accessory drive
component, incorrect installation of the accessory drive

Condition
General Motors has decided that a detect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain
2004 Buick Rainier and GMC Envoy XUV; 2003-2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer, TrailBlazer EXT; GMC
Envoy, Envoy XL; and Oldsmobile Bravada vehicles. Some of these vehicles have an intermittent
condition in which the turn signals may not operate as designed. Material build up on the flasher
relay may cause the turn signals to flash on both sides of the vehicle when activated similar to
hazard warning flashers, or they may illuminate and remain illuminated instead of flashing. The
instrument panel would indicate the incorrect operation if this were to occur. Incorrect operation of
the turn signal indicator could fail to warn others of the driver's intentions and could lead to a
vehicle crash.
Correction
Dealers are to replace the flasher relay module.

contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to
test the circuit in question.
Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6.
If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is
a short to ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2.
Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across
the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered).
- When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
- If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter
TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
The J 39200 instruction Data is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is
present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with
a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance
that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
- Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving.
- 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.

Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation
The FTP sensor measures the difference between the pressure or vacuum in the fuel tank and
outside air pressure. The control module provides a 5-volt reference and a ground to the FTP
sensor. The FTP sensor provides a signal voltage back to the control module that can vary
between 0.1-4.9 volts. As FTP increases, FTP sensor voltage decreases, high pressure = low
voltage. As FTP decreases, FTP voltage increases, low pressure or vacuum = high voltage.

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

The torque specification has changed for the fittings to case. The torque has changed from 38 Nm
(28 lb ft) to 32 Nm (23 lb ft).
Tighten
Tighten the new cooler fittings to 32 Nm (23 lb ft).
The converter drain back check ball (420C) has been removed from the cooler line fitting and is
now located in the channel plate.
If you get a concern of no movement in the morning or after sitting for several hours, the cooler
check ball should be inspected.
The best way to determine where the check ball is located is to look at the cooler line fittings. The
old fittings are different sizes (3/8-18 NPSF & 1/4-18 NPSF) and would contain the cooler check
ball. The new fittings are the same size as each other (9/16-18 UNF) and do not have a cooler
check ball.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
The PCM verifies that the password received from the theft deterrent control module via the serial
data circuit is correct. The PCM can learn only one fuel continue password. If the fuel continue
password is correct, the PCM enables the starting and fuel delivery systems.
The PCM disables the starting and fuel delivery systems if any of the following conditions occur:
- The fuel continue password is incorrect.
- The fuel disable password is sent by the theft deterrent control module.
- No passwords are received - there is no communication with the theft deterrent control module.
The powertrain control module (PCM) contains the remainder of the logic of the theft deterrent
system. If a class 2 message containing a valid password is received from the BCM, the PCM will
continue to allow the fuel injectors to operate. The PCM will allow the fuel injectors to operate until
it decides there is no valid password coming from the BCM. If the PCM does not receive a class 2
message, or receives a class 2 message with an incorrect password, the engine will crank and will
not run or will start and stall immediately.
The PCM controls all ignition system functions, and constantly corrects the spark timing. The PCM
monitors information from various sensor inputs that include the following:
- The throttle position (TP) sensor
- The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor
- The mass air flow (MAF) sensor
- The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
- The vehicle speed sensor (VSS)
- The transmission gear position or range information sensors
- The engine knock sensors (KS)

Subject:
Intermittent Hesitation, Stumble or Idle Stall after Soak, Harsh 1-2 Shift, Slipping 1-2 Shift Followed
by a Harsh Engagement (Reprogram PCM)
Models: 2002-2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer 2002-2003 GMC Envoy 2002-2003 Oldsmobile Bravada
with 4.2L Engine (VIN S - RPO LL8)
Condition
Some customers may comment on an intermittent hesitation/stumble or idle stall within minutes of
starting after the vehicle has been sitting for several hours. Additionally, some customers with a
2003 model year vehicle may comment on a harsh 1-2 shift or 1-2 slip shift that has a bump feeling
when 2nd gear engages.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the EVAP diagnostic test as it opens the purge valve for a few
seconds and then closes it to verify proper emission sensor operation. If the purge canister is
saturated, the EVAP system on-board diagnostic test may cause the vehicle to correct for a rich
condition from the canister. The vehicle would then become lean when the purge valve closes at
the completion of the test. This condition occurs primarily with high RVP fuel and after the vehicle
sits for several hours in a warm ambient, above 21°C (70°F). A customer who takes short trips is
more likely to experience this condition, as they don't have the drive cycle that would allow the
purge canister to fully re-circulate the fuel vapor.
Correction
For Hesitation, Stumble or Idle Stall:
Follow the SI diagnostics for the stall/stumble condition. If the result is no trouble found, then
reprogram the module with the latest calibration.
For Harsh or Slipping Shifts on 2003 Model Year vehicles:
Reprogram the module with the latest calibration.
The calibrations listed are electronic calibrations and are NOT available from GMSPO. Calibrations
will be available from Techline starting September 2003, on the TIS 2003 Disc 10.0 CD ROM.

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

Models: 2008 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (Including Saturn) 2008 and
Prior HUMMER H2, H3 2005-2008 Saab 9-7X
Attention:
This bulletin is being issued to announce the release of GM approved Air Conditioning (A/C)
Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging Equipment that meets the new Society of Automotive
Engineers (SAE) J2788 Refrigerant Recovery Standards. The ACR2000 (J-43600) cannot be
manufactured in its current state after December 2007 and will be superseded by GE-48800.
The new J2788 standard does not require that GM Dealers replace their ACR2000 units.
ACR2000's currently in use are very capable of servicing today's refrigerant systems when used
correctly and can continue to be used. Details regarding the new SAE J2788 standard are outlined
in GM Bulletin 07-01-38-004.
Effective February 1 2008, new A/C Refrigerant Recovery/Recharging equipment (P/N GE-48800)
will be released as a required replacement for the previously essential ACR2000 (J-43600). This
equipment is SAE J2788 compliant and meets GM requirements for A/C Refrigerant System
Repairs on all General Motors vehicles, including Hybrid systems with Polyolester (POE)
refrigerant oil. This equipment will not be shipped as an essential tool to GM Dealerships.
In addition, this equipment is Hybrid compliant and designed to prevent oil cross contamination
when servicing Hybrid vehicles with Electric A/C Compressors that use POE refrigerant oil.
The ACR2000 (J-43600) will need to be retrofitted with a J-43600-50 (Hose - ACR2000 Oil Flush
Loop) to be able to perform Hybrid A/C service work. All Hybrid dealers will receive the J-43600-50,
with installation instructions, as a component of the Hybrid essential tool package. Dealerships that
do not sell Hybrids, but may need to service Hybrids, can obtain J-43600-50 from SPX Kent Moore.
Refer to GM Bulletin 08-01-39-001 for the ACR2000 Hose Flush procedure.
The High Voltage (HV) electric A/C compressor used on Two Mode Hybrid vehicles uses a
Polyolester (POE) refrigerant oil instead of a Polyalkylene Glycol (PAG) synthetic refrigerant oil.
This is due to the better electrical resistance of the POE oil and its ability to provide HV isolation.
Failure to flush the hoses before adding refrigerant to a Hybrid vehicle with an electric A/C
compressor may result in an unacceptable amount of PAG oil entering the refrigerant system. It
may cause a Battery Energy Control Module Hybrid Battery Voltage System Isolation Lost
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC P1AE7) to be set. Additionally, the A/C system warranty will be
voided.
Warranty Submission Requirements
The Electronically Generated Repair Data (snapshot summary) and printer functions have been
eliminated from the GE-48800. The VGA display and temperature probes were eliminated to
reduce equipment costs. As a result, effective immediately the 18 digit "Snapshot/Charge
Summary" code is no longer required for Air Conditioning (A/C) refrigerant system repairs that are
submitted for warranty reimbursement. The charge summary data from before and after system
repairs will continue to required, but documented on the repair order only. Both high and low
pressures and the recovery and charge amounts should be noted during the repair and entered on
the repair order. If using ACR2000 (J-43600), the "Snapshot/Charge Summary" printouts should
continue to be attached to the shops copy of the repair order.
The labor codes that are affected by this requirement are D3000 through D4500.

- 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.

Note The rivet stud and surrounding panel area MUST BE properly refinished PRIOR to the
installation of the ground wire terminal and conductive nut to maintain a secure, stable and
corrosion-free electrical ground.
10. Refinish the repair area using an anti-corrosion primer. Refer to Anti-Corrosion Treatment and
Repair in SI. 11. Allow the refinished repair area to cure sufficiently before removing the protective
material applied to the rivet stud threads. 12. Remove the painters tape or equivalent from the rivet
stud threads. 13. Using GM approved residue-free solvent or equivalent, thoroughly clean the rivet
stud threads to remove any adhesive and allow to dry. 14. Using a small brush, apply Dielectric
Lubricant GM P/N 12377900 (Canadian P/N 10953529) to the threads of the M6 conductive rivet
stud.
Note Fretting corrosion is a build-up of insulating, oxidized wear debris that can form when there is
a small motion between electrical contacts. The oxidized wear debris can accumulate at the
electrical contact points causing the electrical resistance across the connection to increase.

If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-C. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure
if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
- Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
- Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
- When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
- Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
- Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
- If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.

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

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

(Follow Information Below)
Models
Attention:
This bulletin is being issued to provide dealer personnel with information and the procedures to
diagnose an upgraded OnStar(R) Generation 6 Digital-Capable system.
Program Overview
Since it was launched in 1996, OnStar® has relied on an analog wireless network to provide
communication to and from OnStar-equipped vehicles. As part of an industry wide change in the
North American wireless telecommunications industry, wireless carriers are transitioning to digital
technology and will no longer support the analog wireless network beginning early 2008.
Effective January 1, 2008, OnStar(R) service in the United States and Canada will be available
only through vehicles that are capable of operating on the digital network.
Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-08-46-006H for information about upgrading certain
vehicles to digital service. Details were covered in both the November 2006 and December 2007
issues of TechLink, which are available in the Archives of the TechLink website.
Vehicles eligible for an OnStar(R) hardware upgrade are listed in this bulletin. Vehicle
upgradeability can also be determined by typing the VIN into the field entitled "Determine VIN
Hardware Functionality" on the OnStar(R) Online Enrollment website, located in the sales or
service workbench tab of GM GlobalConnect. Canadian Dealers can use a similar tool that is
available within the OnStar(R) Canada Online Enrollment site that can be accessed from the
OnStar(R) Brand Resources in GlobalConnect.
Access to the sales and/or service workbench in the GM GlobalConnect website can be granted by
the dealership's Partner Security Coordinator (PSC).

PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
Prevailing torque fasteners create a thread interface between the fastener and the fastener
counterpart in order to prevent the fastener from loosening.
ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the
fastener.
NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the
fastener threads.
ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS
These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on
the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener
may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener.
A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged
- There is no rust on the fastener
- The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener
seating
Recall 04V046000: Erratic Wiper Operation
Wiper Control Module: All Technical Service Bulletins Recall 04V046000: Erratic Wiper Operation
DEFECT: The windshield wipers on these sport utility vehicles may fail to turn on, unexpectedly
stop working, fail to turn off/on by themselves (moisture sensitive wiper system), or the washer
pump may operate continuously because water can enter the wiper module and either cause a
short circuit or corrosion of components within the module. Driver visibility could be reduced, which
could result in a crash.
REMEDY: Dealers will cover the windshield wiper module vent hole with a patch. Also, the wiper
motor, circuit board, and electrical connector will be inspected for signs of water intrusion and/or
corrosion and be replaced as required. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification is
expected to begin during the third quarter of 2004. Owners may contact Chevrolet at
1-800-630-2438; GMC at 1-866-996-9463; or Oldsmobile at 1-800-630-6537.

(Follow Information Below)
Models
Attention:
This bulletin is being issued to provide dealer personnel with information and the procedures to
diagnose an upgraded OnStar(R) Generation 6 Digital-Capable system.
Program Overview
Since it was launched in 1996, OnStar® has relied on an analog wireless network to provide
communication to and from OnStar-equipped vehicles. As part of an industry wide change in the
North American wireless telecommunications industry, wireless carriers are transitioning to digital
technology and will no longer support the analog wireless network beginning early 2008.
Effective January 1, 2008, OnStar(R) service in the United States and Canada will be available
only through vehicles that are capable of operating on the digital network.
Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-08-46-006H for information about upgrading certain
vehicles to digital service. Details were covered in both the November 2006 and December 2007
issues of TechLink, which are available in the Archives of the TechLink website.
Vehicles eligible for an OnStar(R) hardware upgrade are listed in this bulletin. Vehicle
upgradeability can also be determined by typing the VIN into the field entitled "Determine VIN
Hardware Functionality" on the OnStar(R) Online Enrollment website, located in the sales or
service workbench tab of GM GlobalConnect. Canadian Dealers can use a similar tool that is
available within the OnStar(R) Canada Online Enrollment site that can be accessed from the
OnStar(R) Brand Resources in GlobalConnect.
Access to the sales and/or service workbench in the GM GlobalConnect website can be granted by
the dealership's Partner Security Coordinator (PSC).

Impact Sensor: Description and Operation
INFLATABLE RESTRAINT SIDE IMPACT SENSOR (SIS)
The Side Impact Sensor (SIS) contains a sensing device (accelerometer) which monitors vehicle
acceleration and velocity changes to detect side collisions that are severe enough to warrant air
bag deployment. The SIS is not part of the deployment loop, but instead provides an input to the
SDM. The SDM contains a microprocessor that performs calculations using the measured
accelerations and compares these calculations to a value stored in memory. When the generated
calculations exceed the stored value, the SDM will cause current to flow through the deployment
loops deploying the side air bags.

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

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.

This bulletin covers puncture repair procedures for passenger car and light duty truck radial tires in
the tread area only. The tire manufacturer must be contacted for its individual repair policy and
whether or not the speed rating is retained after repair.
Caution
- Tire changing can be dangerous and should be done by trained professionals using proper tools
and procedures. Always read and understand any manufacturer's warnings contained in their
customers literature or molded into the tire sidewall.
- Serious eye and ear injury may result from not wearing adequate eye and ear protection while
repairing tires.
- NEVER inflate beyond 275 kPa (40 pounds) pressure to seat beads.
Some run flat tires, such as the Goodyear Extended Mobility Tire (EMT) used on the Corvette, may
require more than 275 kPa (40 psi) to seat the bead. In such a case, a tire safety cage must be
used. Consult the tire manufacturer for its individual repair policy.
- NEVER stand, lean or reach over the assembly during inflation.

Leak detection dye P/N 12378563 (J 29545-6) (in Canada P/N 88900915) may cause
DEX-COOL(R) coolant to appear green in a black vessel making it appear to be conventional
(green) coolant. This may cause a technician to add conventional coolant to a low DEX-COOL(R)
system thus contaminating it. The green DEX-COOL(R) appearance is caused by the color of the
leak detection dye which alters the color of the DEX-COOL(R) coolant.
A new leak detection dye P/N 89022219 (J 46366) (in Canada P/N 89022220) has been released
that does not alter the appearance of the DEX-COOL(R) coolant. When adding the new leak
detection dye the color of the DEX-COOL(R) coolant will not change. For detecting leaks on any
system that uses DEX-COOL(R) leak detection dye P/N 89022219 (in Canada P/N 89022220)
should be used. The new leak detection dye can be used with both conventional and
DEX-COOL(R) coolant.

Caution: Exposure to isocyanates during paint preparation and application processes can cause
severe breathing problems. Read and follow all of the instructions from the manufacturers of
painting materials, equipment, and protective gear.
Caution: Refer to Eye Protection Caution in Service Precautions.
All paint finish repairs of rigid exterior surfaces must meet GM standards. The GM Approved
Refinish Materials book GM P/N GM4901M-D-99 identifies the paint systems you may use. Always
refer to the latest revision of the 4901M-D book. All approved products, including volatile organic
compound (VOC) compliant regulations are listed in the system approach recommended by the
individual manufacturer. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for the detailed procedures for
materials used in the paint system in the painting repairs of rigid exterior surfaces. All components
of an approved paint system have been engineered in order to ensure proper adhesion between
layers.
If necessary, spot repairs or color blending in an open panel can be done. However, do not blend
clearcoat in an open panel. Always apply clearcoat to the next break point (body side molding,
feature line, or the next panel.)
Do not mix paint systems or substitute a product of one manufacturer for another manufacturer's
product. If incompatible products are used together the following problems may occur:
* Lifting of primer coats caused by overly aggressive solvents in subsequent layers
* Loss of adhesion between layers due to incompatibility of resin systems
* Solvent popping or pinholing due to inappropriate solvent selection
* Poor through-curing due to incompatible hardener resins or insufficient reactivity
* Gloss reduction due to incompatible resins and/or solvents
* Poor color accuracy due to pigment interactions with incompatible resins and/or solvents
* Film defects (craters, blisters, orange peel loss of gloss) due to the use of inferior quality raw
materials in incompatible products.

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

Fuel Pressure Release: Service and Repair Fuel System Pressure Relief
CAUTION: 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

J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
The supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system/supplemental restraint system (SRS) requires
special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific
procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system
terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.
The tool kit J 38125-C contains the following items:
- Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction Data
The sealed splices have the following 2 critical features:
- A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
- A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The J 38125-C also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items:
- A large sampling of common electrical terminals
- The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires
- The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-C. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.

Models: 2003-2004 Passenger Cars and Trucks 2003-2004 HUMMER H2 with Driver Information
Center (DIC)
The customer's initial perception of vehicle fuel economy, based upon the information displayed on
the Driver Information Center (DIC), may contribute to poor ratings for fuel economy in various
automotive surveys. The way the vehicle is handled during the build and shipping process may
leave inaccurate values in the history of the DIC.
During the pre-delivery inspection, the dealership must reset the "average fuel economy" setting.
Reset the average fuel economy setting according to the information in the appropriate Owner's
Manual. Once reset, the average fuel economy will then be calculated starting from that point.
The data used to determine fuel range is an average of recent driving conditions. This setting
cannot be reset. However, as the customer's driving conditions change, the data will be gradually
updated to reflect more accurate readings.
If a customer inquires about fuel economy, and the fuel consumption information is not on the price
sticker, do not exaggerate the vehicle's capabilities. In either case, stress that fuel economy
performance is highly dependent upon driving habits and vehicle usage.

Alarm Module: Description and Operation
THEFT DETERRENT CONTROL MODULE
Vehicles with steering column mounted ignition switches have the exciter integral with the theft
deterrent control module which is located within the steering column. Vehicles with instrument
panel mounted ignition switches have exciter modules separate from the theft deterrent control
module with the vehicle wiring harness connecting the two. The theft deterrent control module for
vehicles with instrument panel mounted ignition switches is located within the instrument panel.
The theft deterrent control module can learn up to ten keys (transponder values).
The theft deterrent control module uses the following inputs, battery voltage, ignition switched
voltage and ground circuit. The theft deterrent control module uses the following outputs, password
exchange with the PCM, fuel enable/disable via the serial data circuit.
When an ignition key is inserted into the ignition lock cylinder and the ignition is switched ON, the
transponder embedded in the head of the key is energized by the exciter coils surrounding the
ignition lock cylinder. The energized transponder transmits a signal that contains its unique value,
which is received by the theft deterrent control module. The theft deterrent control module then
compares this value to a value stored in memory, learned key code. If the value is correct the theft
deterrent control module sends a random generated number to the transponder, this is called a
challenge. Both the transponder and the theft deterrent control module perform a calculation on the
challenge. The theft deterrent control module then performs one of the following functions:
- If both the transponder value and the calculation to the challenge are correct, the theft deterrent
control module will send the fuel continue password to the PCM via the serial data circuit.
- If either the transponders unique value or the calculation to the challenge is incorrect the theft
deterrent control module will send the fuel disable password to the PCM via the serial data circuit.
- If the theft deterrent control module is unable to measure the ignition key transponder value for
one second due to a damaged or missing pellet or a damaged exciter, the theft deterrent control
module will send the fuel disable password to the PCM via the serial data circuit.

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

Low Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation HVAC System - Manual
HVAC SYSTEM - MANUAL
A/C LOW PRESSURE SWITCH
The A/C low pressure switch protects the A/C system from a low pressure condition that could
damage the A/C compressor or cause evaporator icing.
The HVAC control module applies 12 volts to the A/C low pressure switch signal circuit. The switch
will open when the A/C low side pressure reaches 124 kPa (18 psi).
This prevents the A/C compressor from operating. The switch will then close when A/C low
pressure side reaches 275 kPa (40 psi). This enables the A/C compressor to turn back ON.

- If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 volt or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
- If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
- Wiring broken inside the insulation
- Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector.
- Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter, improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the
connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor
terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-C or the J 38125-4 Instruction Data for terminal identification.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2.
Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or
green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J 38125-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

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

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

4901M-D book. All approved products, including volatile organic compound (VOC) compliant
regulations are listed in the system approach recommended by the individual manufacturer. Refer
to the manufacturer's instructions for the detailed procedures for materials used in the paint system
in the painting repairs of rigid exterior surfaces.
All components of an approved paint system have been engineered in order to ensure proper
adhesion between layers.If necessary, spot repairs or color blending in an open panel can be done.
However, do not blend clear coat in an open panel. Always apply clearcoat to the next break point
(body side molding, feature line, or the next panel)
Do not mix paint systems or substitute a product of one manufacturer for another manufacturer's
product.
If incompatible products are used together the following problems may occur:
- Lifting of primer coats caused by overly aggressive solvents in subsequent layers
- Loss of adhesion between layers due to incompatibility of resin systems
- Solvent popping or pin holing due to inappropriate solvent selection
- Poor through-curing due to incompatible hardener resins or insufficient reactivity
- Gloss reduction due to incompatible resins and/or solvents
- Poor color accuracy due to pigment interactions with incompatible resins and/or solvents
- Film defects (craters, blisters, orange peel loss of gloss) due to the use of inferior quality raw
materials in incompatible products.

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

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.

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

Models: 2008 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2008 and
Prior HUMMER H2, H3 2008 and Prior Saab 9-7X
Concerns with Harbor Freight Tools "Storehouse" Branded Blade Type Fuses
General Motors has become aware of a fuse recall by Harbor Freight Tools/Storehouse for a
variety of aftermarket fuses. In two cases, these fuses have not provided protection for the wiring
system of the vehicles they were customer installed in.
Upon testing the 15 amp version, it was found that the fuse still would not "open" when shorted
directly across the battery terminals.
How to Identify These Fuses
Packed in a 120 piece set, the fuse has a translucent, hard plastic, blue body with the amperage
stamped into the top. There are no white painted numbers on the fuse to indicate amperage. There
are no identifying marks on the fuse to tell who is making it. The fuses are known to be distributed
by Harbor Freight Tools but there may be other marketers, and packaging of this style of fuse. It
would be prudent to replace these fuses if found in a customers vehicle. Likewise, if wiring
overheating is found you should check the fuse panel for the presence of this style of fuse.
All GM dealers should use genuine GM fuses on the vehicles they service. You should also
encourage the use of GM fuses to your customers to assure they are getting the required electrical
system protection. GM has no knowledge of any concerns with other aftermarket fuses. If
additional information becomes available, this bulletin will be updated.

with Navigation Radio
The purpose of this bulletin is to inform technicians and customers that the Navigation Radio may
not display the vehicle location icon on the map accurately after a radio or battery has been
replaced or after battery power has been removed from the radio. The vehicle location icon
accuracy may be degraded if the GPS signal is not available and the GPS displayed icon has a red
line through it.
The Navigation Radio does not keep learned GPS information or gyroscope and vehicle speed
signals stored when the battery power is removed from the radio. The Navigation radio continually
uses GPS, gyroscope and vehicle speed data to maintain the vehicle location icon positioned
accurately on the displayed map. There may be periods of time during a drive cycle when the GPS
signal may not be available and the vehicle location icon still appears to be accurate. This is due to
the radio having internal gyroscopes and receiving a vehicle speed signal to maintain accuracy if
the radio had received a good GPS signal earlier in the drive cycle.
Normal driving will improve the accuracy of the vehicle location icon on the displayed map. It may
be necessary for the vehicle to be driven up to 40 km (25 mi) with 15 left and 15 right turns while
the vehicle location icon is matched to roads on the displayed map. Do not replace the radio for this
condition.

Accessory Delay Module: Description and Operation
RETAINED ACCESSORY POWER (RAP) DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
RETAINED ACCESSORY POWER (RAP) POWER MODE
RAP is a power mode that permits the operation of selected customer convenience items for 10
minutes after the ignition switch is turned OFF. RAP power mode is enabled by the BCM.
The BCM: controls certain body functions.
- sends out a class 2 message via the serial data line, which enables/disables other modules at the
beginning/end of RAP power mode.
Some BCM features, such as the interior courtesy lamps will function after the 10 minute RAP time
limit has elapsed. This is normal, and does not mean RAP power mode is malfunctioning. The
BCM enables the following functions in RAP Power Mode: The sunroof (internal to BCM - if equipped)
- The right and left power rear windows (internal to BCM - if equipped)
- Any class 2 module that functions in RAP power mode (that is not hard-wired), is controlled by the
BCM via class 2 power mode messages. EXAMPLE: the radio works in RAP power mode due to
the BCM allowing and controlling it.
RAP is disabled when: The door is opened.
- A low battery voltage is detected by the BCM.
- The transition of ignition switch from OFF to ON or ACC.
- 10 minutes have elapsed after the ignition was turned OFF.
- There may be some functions of the vehicle that are hard-wired straight to the battery, these are
the exceptions.
The BCM monitors the ignition switch position, battery voltage and passenger compartment door
status to determine whether RAP power mode should be enabled. If the ignition switch transitions
from ON to OFF, the battery voltage is within the acceptable range and the passenger
compartment doors are closed, the BCM enables RAP power mode. After the 10 minutes has
elapsed, the BCM sends a class 2 message to the serial data network. This message commands
the other modules to stop functioning, that are power moded by the BCM.
RAP RELAY (IF EQUIPPED)
The long base vehicles (GMT370), with third row seating, will have a RAP relay (RAP relay is also
on the G/H Van). Due to this, the BCM will power/enable a relay. On the short based vehicles
(GMT360), the RAP output only needs to drive the sunroof. The BCM is able to supply enough
current to operate the sunroof by itself, so a relay is not needed. Although, on the
GMT370/longbase vehicle, there are optional powered rear quarter vent windows, which are also
enabled in RAP power mode. Refer to Retained Accessory Power (RAP) Schematics for the
applicable schematics for RAP on both vehicle types. On the GMT370/longbase vehicle, the BCM
is not able to supply enough current to both rear quarter vent windows and the sunroof at the same
time (if equipped with both options). This is the purpose of the RAP relay. The BCM energizes the
RAP relay coil, which allows a fused power supply to the sunroof and the rear quarter vent
windows.

6. After replacing the VCIM, it is essential to configure the new OnStar(R) system. Failure to
configure the system will result in an additional customer visit for repair. DO NOT press and hold
the white dot or phone button on the keypad as it will not reset this version of the OnStar(R) system
and may result in a DTC being set. Use of the TIS2WEB and SPS applications, along with the
Tech2(R), are required in order to perform the VCIM configuration and setup procedure for this
vehicle. The configuration and set-up procedure is now a two-step process which enables an
automated activation by the OnStar(R) Center, without a button press by the technician to the
OnStar(R) Call Center.
1. Connect the Tech2(R) to the vehicle.

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

This bulletin is being revised to add the new part numbers for the Spark Plugs and Ignition Coils.
Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-06-04-048A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion
System).
Condition
Some customers may comment that, after severe weather that includes large amounts of rain in a
short period of time, the engine has a rough idle and/or flashing MIL/SES light. Upon further
investigation, there may be the following DTC(s): P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305 or
P0306.
This condition can be aggravated if the vehicle is parked nose down on an incline during this type
of weather. The customer may also comment on repeat occurrences of this condition because
water may be passing over the Air Intake Plenum (AIP).
Cause
The dripping rain water onto the engine cam cover will collect at the coil(s) and may seep past the
coil(s) into the spark plug(s) well of the cylinder head and may affect the operation of the spark
plug(s) and coil(s), causing the misfire(s).
Correction
Before replacing the AIP seal, refer to Misfire diagnostics in SI to determine if water intrusion was
the cause of the misfire.
Diagnostic Aids for Misfire
Refer to SI for Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine Noises.
If no trouble found (NTF) using SI document on Base Engine Misfire without Internal Engine
Noises, then refer to SI for Misfire DTC(s).
If Misfire diagnostic leads to the removal of the coil(s) and spark plug(s), refer to the following SI
Documents:
Air Cleaner Outlet Resonator Replacement
Ignition Coil Replacement Removal Procedure
Spark Plug Replacement
Coil(s) damage from water intrusion will have a film of white chalk build-up on the outside and
inside of the spark plug boot to ignition coil(s) assembly. If present, remove the spark plug(s) and
inspect for similar build-up on the outside of the spark plug(s).
If NTF with the coil(s) and spark plug(s), continue on with the Misfire Diagnostic in SI.
Replace any coil and spark plug that has been diagnosed to be damaged from water intrusion. To
prevent a reoccurrence, follow repair information outlined in this bulletin to replace the AIP seal.
To prevent a repeat occurrence of the above condition, Do Not return the vehicle to the customer
without replacing the AIP seal if water intrusion was determined to be the cause.
If water intrusion was determined to be the cause for the replacement of the spark plug(s) and/or
coil(s), the AIP seal should be replaced.
Installation of AIP Seal
To prevent a reoccurrence, the revised AIP seal will redirect the rain water flow away from the
engine cam cover area. The following repair information

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

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

6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the
middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper
handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing:
- The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
- A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-C if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA
ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to
ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the
plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated
in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a
terminal for replacement.
Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

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

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

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

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.

NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-A Connector Test Adapter Kit or the J
42675 Flat Wire Probe Adapter Kit in order to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other
substitutes as they can damage terminals and cause incorrect measurements.

Test Description
DTC U1001 and U1254
Circuit/System Description
Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during
normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the
modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module
records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health
monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the
module use a default value for that parameter. Once an identification number is learned by a
module, it will monitor for that module's Node Alive message. Each module on the class 2 serial
data circuit which is powered and performing functions that require detection of a communications
malfunction is required to send a Node Alive message every 2 seconds. When no message is
detected from a learned identification number for 5 seconds, a DTC U1XXX where XXX is equal to
the 3-digit identification number is set.

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

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

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

6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the
middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper
handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing:
- The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
- A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-C if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA
ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to
ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the
plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated
in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a
terminal for replacement.
Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

1. Open the harness.
- If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
- To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
- If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire.
2. Cut the wire.
- Cut as little wire off the harness as possible.
- Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and
connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage.
3. Select the proper size and type of wire.
- The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link).
- The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
The PCM verifies that the password received from the theft deterrent control module via the serial
data circuit is correct. The PCM can learn only one fuel continue password. If the fuel continue
password is correct, the PCM enables the starting and fuel delivery systems.
The PCM disables the starting and fuel delivery systems if any of the following conditions occur:
- The fuel continue password is incorrect.
- The fuel disable password is sent by the theft deterrent control module.
- No passwords are received - there is no communication with the theft deterrent control module.
The powertrain control module (PCM) contains the remainder of the logic of the theft deterrent
system. If a class 2 message containing a valid password is received from the BCM, the PCM will
continue to allow the fuel injectors to operate. The PCM will allow the fuel injectors to operate until
it decides there is no valid password coming from the BCM. If the PCM does not receive a class 2
message, or receives a class 2 message with an incorrect password, the engine will crank and will
not run or will start and stall immediately.
The PCM controls all ignition system functions, and constantly corrects the spark timing. The PCM
monitors information from various sensor inputs that include the following:
- The throttle position (TP) sensor
- The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor
- The mass air flow (MAF) sensor
- The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
- The vehicle speed sensor (VSS)
- The transmission gear position or range information sensors
- The engine knock sensors (KS)

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
The supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system/supplemental restraint system (SRS) requires
special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific
procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system
terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.
The tool kit J 38125-C contains the following items:
- Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction Data
The sealed splices have the following 2 critical features:
- A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
- A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The J 38125-C also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items:
- A large sampling of common electrical terminals
- The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires
- The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-C. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.

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

A/C LOW PRESSURE SWITCH
The A/C low pressure switch protects the A/C system from a low pressure condition that could
damage the A/C compressor or cause evaporator icing. The HVAC control module applies 12 volts
to the A/C low pressure switch signal circuit. The switch will open when the A/C low side pressure
reaches 124 kPa (18 psi). This prevents the A/C compressor from operating. The switch will then
close when A/C low pressure side reaches 275 kPa (40 psi). This enables the A/C compressor to
turn back ON.

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

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

Page 8366
Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from
voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure.
1. Open the harness.
- If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
- To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
- If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode.
2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow
direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable
soldering tool.
IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the
connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool.
5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not
remove any more than is needed to attach the
new diode.
6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias.
Reference the appropriate Service Data wiring
schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position.
7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some
heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the
diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for
the soldering equipment.
8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. 9. Tape the diode to the
harness or connector using electrical tape.
IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire
and diode attachment points with tape.
Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable
SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE
Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable
of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and
other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below
in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable.
1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap
the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the
splice is made.
3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire.
Staggering the splices by 65 mm is recommended.
IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical
contact with the drain wire.
4. Re-assemble the cable.
- Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape.
- Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1).
- Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire.
- Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with mylar tape.

6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the
middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper
handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing:
- The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
- A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
SIR/SRS System Wire Splice Repair Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-C if damage
occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic
insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA
ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to
ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the
plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated
in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a
terminal for replacement.
Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

1. Open the harness.
- If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
- To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
- If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire.
2. Cut the wire.
- Cut as little wire off the harness as possible.
- Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and
connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage.
3. Select the proper size and type of wire.
- The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link).
- The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating.

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

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.

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.

IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value
in order to record the full change.
5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling
the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations.
6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has
been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the
value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9.
Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values.
- If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 volt or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
- If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
- Wiring broken inside the insulation
- Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector.
- Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.

Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter, improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the
connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor
terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-C or the J 38125-4 Instruction Data for terminal identification.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2.
Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or
green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J 38125-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal

these systems will then completely power OFF.
OnStar(R) Module Expected Current Draw
The expected current draw of the OnStar(R) module in various ignition modes are as follows:
^ Ignition ON ‐ 240 to 400 mA
^ Ignition OFF ‐ 3 to 20 mA for 48 hours
^ Ignition OFF ‐ 0.2 to 0.8 mA after 48 hours (120 hours on specified vehicle
communication platforms (VCPs)).
Note
During extended voltage testing for battery parasitic draw, it is possible to observe a voltage spike
caused by the following:
^ A cellular registration call that was triggered by the local cellular system.
^ The OnStar(R) system has set a monthly trigger for a vehicle data upload call for the OnStar(R)
Vehicle Diagnostic E‐mail upload.
OnStar(R) System States of Readiness
The OnStar(R) system will use the following 4 states of readiness, depending upon the type of
cellular market the vehicle is in when the ignition is turned OFF.
^ High power
^ Low power
^ Sleep
^ Digital standby
The high power state is in effect whenever the ignition is in the ON or RUN position, retained
accessory power (RAP) is enabled, and/or the OnStar(R) system is sending or receiving calls or
when the system is performing a remote function.
The low power state is in effect when the OnStar(R) system is idle with the ignition in the ON or
RUN position, or with RAP enabled.
The sleep state is entered after the vehicle has been shut OFF and the RAP has timed out. At a
predetermined time recorded within the VCIM, the system re-enters the low power state to listen for
a call from the OnStar(R) Call Center for 1 minute. After this interval, the system will again return to
the sleep state for 9 minutes. If a call is sent during the 1 minute interval, the OnStar(R) system will
receive the call and immediately go into the high power mode to perform any requested functions.
If a call is not received during the 1 minute interval, the system will go back into the sleep mode for
another 9 minutes. This process will continue for up to 48 hours, after which the OnStar(R) system
will turn OFF until the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position.
The digital standby power state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the RAP has
timed out while in a digital cellular area. When in digital standby mode, the OnStar(R) module is
able to perform all remote functions as commanded by an OnStar(R) advisor at any time, for a
continuous 48 hours. After 48 hours, the OnStar(R) module will go into sleep mode until a wake up
signal from the vehicle is seen by the CIM. If the OnStar module loses the digital cellular signal it
will revert to analog mode and follow the standard sleep state (9 minutes OFF, 1 minute standby)
based on the time of the GPS signals, this will continue until a digital cellular signal is again
received.
If the OnStar(R) system loses battery power while the system is in a standby or sleep mode, the
system will remain OFF until battery power is restored and the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN
position.
Deactivated OnStar(R) Accounts
In the event that a customer has not upgraded their vehicle to a digital system, the account has
been deactivated. The customers have been previously notified of the steps required to upgrade
their vehicles. After the OnStar(R) account has been deactivated, customers will experience the
following:
^ The OnStar(R) status LED will not illuminate
^ The OnStar(R) system will NOT attempt to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center in the event of a
collision or if the vehicle's front air bags deploy for any other reason.
^ An emergency button press will result in a demo message being played, indicating the service
has been deactivated and needs to be upgraded.

Alarm Module: Description and Operation
THEFT DETERRENT CONTROL MODULE
Vehicles with steering column mounted ignition switches have the exciter integral with the theft
deterrent control module which is located within the steering column. Vehicles with instrument
panel mounted ignition switches have exciter modules separate from the theft deterrent control
module with the vehicle wiring harness connecting the two. The theft deterrent control module for
vehicles with instrument panel mounted ignition switches is located within the instrument panel.
The theft deterrent control module can learn up to ten keys (transponder values).
The theft deterrent control module uses the following inputs, battery voltage, ignition switched
voltage and ground circuit. The theft deterrent control module uses the following outputs, password
exchange with the PCM, fuel enable/disable via the serial data circuit.
When an ignition key is inserted into the ignition lock cylinder and the ignition is switched ON, the
transponder embedded in the head of the key is energized by the exciter coils surrounding the
ignition lock cylinder. The energized transponder transmits a signal that contains its unique value,
which is received by the theft deterrent control module. The theft deterrent control module then
compares this value to a value stored in memory, learned key code. If the value is correct the theft
deterrent control module sends a random generated number to the transponder, this is called a
challenge. Both the transponder and the theft deterrent control module perform a calculation on the
challenge. The theft deterrent control module then performs one of the following functions:
- If both the transponder value and the calculation to the challenge are correct, the theft deterrent
control module will send the fuel continue password to the PCM via the serial data circuit.
- If either the transponders unique value or the calculation to the challenge is incorrect the theft
deterrent control module will send the fuel disable password to the PCM via the serial data circuit.
- If the theft deterrent control module is unable to measure the ignition key transponder value for
one second due to a damaged or missing pellet or a damaged exciter, the theft deterrent control
module will send the fuel disable password to the PCM via the serial data circuit.

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.

Tools Required J 38722 Compression Tester
A compression pressure test of the engine cylinders determines the condition of the rings, the
valves, and the head gasket.
Important: The battery must be at or near full charge.
1. Remove the air duct from the throttle control module. 2. Remove the ignition control modules. 3.
Disable the fuel system.
4. Remove the spark clues. 5. Measure the engine compression, using the following procedure:
5.1. Firmly install J 38722 to the spark plug hole.
5.2. Have an assistant crank the engine through at least four compression strokes in the testing
cylinder.
5.3. Check and record the readings on J 38722 at each stroke.
5.4. Disconnect J 38722.
5.5. Repeat the compression test for each cylinder.
6. Record the compression readings from all of the cylinders. A normal reading should be
approximately 1482 kPa (215 psi). The lowest reading
should not be less than 70 percent of the highest reading.
7. The following are examples of the possible measurements:
- When the compression measurement is normal, the compression builds up quickly and evenly to
the specified compression on each cylinder.
- When the compression is low on the first stroke and tends to build up on the following strokes, but
does not reach the normal compression, or if the compression improves considerably with the
addition of three squirts of oil, the piston rings may be the cause.
- When the compression is low on the first stroke and does not build up in the following strokes, or
the addition of oil does not affect the compression, the valves may be the cause.
- When the compression is low on two adjacent cylinders, or coolant is present in the crankcase,
the head gasket may be the cause.
8. Install the air duct to the throttle body. 9. Install the spark plugs.
10. Enable the fuel system. 11. Install the ignition control modules.

from a digital cellular tower, the state of the cellular carrier's equipment, and the location where the
call is placed. Making an OnStar(R) key press in areas that lack sufficient cellular coverage or have
a temporary equipment failure will result in either the inability of a call to complete with a data
transfer or the complete inability to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center. The OnStar(R) system
may also experience connection issues if the identification numbers for the module, station
identification number (STID), electronic serial number (ESN) or manufacturers electronic ID
(MEID), are not recognized by the cellular carriers local signal receiving towers.
The satellites that orbit earth providing the OnStar system with GPS data have almost no failures
associated with them. In the event of a no GPS concern, the failure will likely lie with the inability of
the system to gain GPS signals because of its location, i.e. in a parking structure, hardware failure,
or being mistaken with an OnStar(R) call which has reached the Call Center without vehicle data.
During diagnostic testing of the OnStar(R) system, the technician should ensure the vehicle is
located in an area that has a clear unobstructed view of the open sky, and preferably, an area
where digital cellular calls have been successfully placed. These areas can be found by
successfully making an OnStar(R) keypress in a known good OnStar(R) equipped vehicle and
confirming success with the OnStar(R) Call Center advisor. Such places can be used as a
permanent reference for future OnStar(R) testing.
Mobile Identification Number and Mobile Directory Number
The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) utilizes 2 numbers for cellular device
identification, call routing and connection.
They are:
^ A mobile identification number (MIN)
^ A mobile directory number (MDN)
Note
The MIN represents the number used by the cellular carrier for call routing purposes. The MDN
represents the number dialed to reach the cellular device.

transportation is available and will be provided at no charge. Dealers should refer to the General
Motors Service Policies and Procedures Manual for Courtesy Transportation guidelines.
CLAIM INFORMATION
Submit a Product Recall Claim with the information shown.
CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION - For US and CANADA
General Motors will notify customers of this recall on their vehicle (see copy of customer letter
shown in this bulletin).
CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION - For IPC
Letters will be sent to known owners of record located within areas covered by the US National
Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. For owners outside these areas, dealers should notify
customers using the sample letter.
DEALER RECALL RESPONSIBILITY - For US and IPC (US States, Territories, and Possessions)
The US National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act provides that each vehicle that is subject to a
recall of this type must be adequately repaired within a reasonable time after the customer has
tendered it for repair. A failure to repair within sixty days after tender of a vehicle is prima facie
evidence of failure to repair within a reasonable time. If the condition is not adequately repaired
within a reasonable time, the customer may be entitled to an identical or reasonably equivalent
vehicle at no charge or to a refund of the purchase price less a reasonable allowance for
depreciation. To avoid having to provide these burdensome remedies, every effort must be made
to promptly schedule an appointment with each customer and to repair their vehicle as soon as
possible. In the recall notification letters, customers are told how to contact the US National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration if the recall is not completed within a reasonable time.

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

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to provide new part number for 2002-2003 vehicles. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 04-06-04-003 (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
This bulletin provides information on two different conditions.
Condition 1
Some customers may comment that their vehicle is difficult to fill with fuel or when filling, the pump
continuously shuts off before the tank is full.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the variability (fuel flow rates, type of fuel fill nozzle, fuel
properties) at the filling stations. There is a potential to develop an increase in back pressures
internal to the fuel fill neck. This back pressure trips the fuel nozzle prior to filling the tank, or results
in a hard to fill condition.
Condition 2 Some customers may comment that when filling the fuel tank, a small amount of fuel
may spit back/out.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the equalization of pressure between the fuel tank and the fuel fill
neck that does not react quickly to the variance in the pressure when the fueling station fuel nozzle
trips off.
Correction
Replace the fuel tank filler upper pipe assembly with P/N 88983256 or P/N 15131043, and lower
hose assembly with P/N 15131046. The new upper pipe has been redesigned to provide smoother
flow conditions within the section and the lower hose has been redesigned to include a checking
feature. Use the procedure listed below.
1. Remove the fuel fill cap.
2. Remove the fuel fill pipe housing.

If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-C. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure
if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
- Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
- Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
- When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
- Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
- Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
- If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

Leak detection dye P/N 12378563 (J 29545-6) (in Canada P/N 88900915) may cause
DEX-COOL(R) coolant to appear green in a black vessel making it appear to be conventional
(green) coolant. This may cause a technician to add conventional coolant to a low DEX-COOL(R)
system thus contaminating it. The green DEX-COOL(R) appearance is caused by the color of the
leak detection dye which alters the color of the DEX-COOL(R) coolant.
A new leak detection dye P/N 89022219 (J 46366) (in Canada P/N 89022220) has been released
that does not alter the appearance of the DEX-COOL(R) coolant. When adding the new leak
detection dye the color of the DEX-COOL(R) coolant will not change. For detecting leaks on any
system that uses DEX-COOL(R) leak detection dye P/N 89022219 (in Canada P/N 89022220)
should be used. The new leak detection dye can be used with both conventional and
DEX-COOL(R) coolant.

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.

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
The supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system/supplemental restraint system (SRS) requires
special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific
procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system
terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.
The tool kit J 38125-C contains the following items:
- Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction Data
The sealed splices have the following 2 critical features:
- A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
- A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The J 38125-C also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items:
- A large sampling of common electrical terminals
- The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires
- The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-C. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.

IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
- Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector.
- Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
- After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a
trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot.
The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows
comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a
first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be
lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
- Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
- Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information

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").

Jump Starting: Service and Repair
JUMP STARTING IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
CAUTION: Batteries produce explosive gases. Batteries contain corrosive acid. Batteries supply
levels of electrical current high enough to cause burns. Therefore, in order to reduce the risk of
personal injury while working near a battery, observe the following guidelines:
- Always shield your eyes.
- Avoid leaning over the battery whenever possible.
- Do not expose the battery to open flames or sparks.
- Do not allow battery acid to contact the eyes or the skin. Flush any contacted areas with water immediately and thoroughly.
- Get medical help.
NOTE: This vehicle has a 12 volt, negative ground electrical system. Make sure the vehicle or
equipment being used to jump start the engine is also 12 volt, negative ground. Use of any other
type of system will damage the vehicle's electrical components.
This vehicle has a 12 volt positive, negative ground electrical system. Do not try to jump start a
vehicle if you are unsure of the other vehicle's positive voltage or ground position. The booster
battery and the discharged battery should be treated carefully when using jumper cables.
1. Position the vehicle with the booster battery so that the jumper cables will comfortably reach the
battery of the other vehicle.
- Do not let the 2 vehicles touch.
- Make sure that the jumper cables do not have loose clamps or missing insulation.
2. Perform the following steps on both vehicles:
2.1. Place the automatic transmission in PARK.
2.2. Block the wheels.
2.3. Set the parking brake.
2.4. Turn off all electrical loads that are not needed. Leave the hazard flashers ON.
2.5. Turn OFF the ignition switch.
3. Attach the end of one jumper cable to the positive terminal of the discharged battery.
IMPORTANT: Some vehicles have a battery remote positive stud. ALWAYS use the battery remote
positive stud in order to give or to receive a jump start.
4. Attach the other end of the first cable to the positive terminal of the booster battery. 5. Attach one
end of the remaining jumper cable to the negative terminal of the booster battery. 6. Make the final
connection of the negative jumper cable to the block or suitable bracket connected directly to the
block, away from the battery.
NOTE: Do not connect the negative charger lead to the housings of other vehicle electrical
accessories or equipment. The action of the battery charger may damage such equipment.
7. Start the engine of the vehicle that is providing the jump start and turn off all electrical
accessories. Raise the engine RPM to approximately 1,500
RPM.
8. Crank the engine of the vehicle with the weak battery. If the engine does not crank or cranks too
slowly, perform the following steps:
8.1. Turn the ignition OFF.
8.2. Allow the booster vehicle engine to run at approximately 1,500 RPM for 5 minutes.
8.3. Attempt to start the engine of the vehicle with the discharged battery.
9. Reverse the steps exactly when removing the jumper cables. The negative battery cable must
first be disconnected from the engine that was jump

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

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

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.

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.

Material from CHMSL Applique)
Models: 2002-2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT 2002-2005 GMC Envoy XL
Condition
Some customers may comment that the liftgate or liftgate glass binds when opening or does not
open all the way.
Cause
This condition is caused by the Center High Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL) applique hitting the roof
of the vehicle.
Correction
Verify that the CHMSL applique is not loose or broken off one or more of its mounting points. If the
applique is broken, it will be necessary to order a replacement part.
Important:
^ It should not be necessary to replace the liftgate glass.
^ All measurements and alterations should take place prior to paint finish.
^ It is necessary to install any replacement parts in order to measure to determine if further
modification is required.
To achieve the proper clearance, modification to the applique is required using the following
procedure:
1. Measure (with applique installed) the area of interference in order to determine the material to be
removed.
^ The top surface (height) of the applique should line up approximately 1 mm (0.039 in) below the
top surface of the roof.
^ A gap of 6-8 mm (0.236-0.315 in) should exist between the roof and the applique to allow for
adequate clearance while opening the liftgate.

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.

designed to remain in your vehicle for 5 years or 150,000 miles (240 000 km), whichever occurs
first, if you add only DEX-COOL extended life coolant.
A 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water (if the water in your area is of poor quality, it is
recommended you use distilled or de-ionized water) and DEX-COOL coolant will:
- Give freezing protection down to -34°F (-37°C).
- Give boiling protection up to 265°F (129°C).
- Protect against rust and corrosion.
- Help keep the proper engine temperature.
- Let the warning lights and gages work as they should.
NOTICE: Using coolant other than DEX-COOL may cause premature engine, heater core or
radiator corrosion. In addition, the engine coolant may require changing sooner, at 30,000 miles
(50 000 km) or 24 months, whichever occurs first. Any repairs would not be covered by your
warranty. Always use DEX-COOL (silicate-free) coolant in your vehicle.
WHAT TO USE
Use a mixture of one-half clean, drinkable water and one-half DEX-COOL coolant which won't
damage aluminum parts. If you use this coolant mixture, you don't need to add anything else.
CAUTION: Adding only plain water to your cooling system can be dangerous. Plain water, or some
other liquid such as alcohol, can boil
before the proper coolant mixture will. Your vehicle's coolant warning system is set for the proper
coolant mixture. With plain water or the wrong mixture, your engine could get too hot but you would
not get the overheat warning. Your engine could catch fire and you or others could be burned. Use
a 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water and DEX-COOL coolant.
NOTICE If you use an improper coolant mixture, your engine could overheat and be badly
damaged. The repair cost would not be covered by your warranty. Too much water in the mixture
can freeze and crack the engine, radiator, heater core and other parts.
If you have to add coolant more than four times a year, check your cooling system.
NOTICE: If you use the proper coolant, you do not have to add extra inhibitors or additives which
claim to improve the system. These can be harmful.

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

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
The supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system/supplemental restraint system (SRS) requires
special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific
procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system
terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.
The tool kit J 38125-C contains the following items:
- Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction Data
The sealed splices have the following 2 critical features:
- A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
- A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The J 38125-C also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items:
- A large sampling of common electrical terminals
- The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires
- The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-C. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.

Spark Plug: Service and Repair
Spark Plug Replacement
Removal Procedure
1. Turn OFF the ignition switch. 2. Remove the ignition coils. Refer to Ignition Coil Replacement.
Notice: Allow the engine to cool before removing the spark plugs. Attempting to remove the spark
plugs from a hot engine may cause the plug threads to seize, causing damage to cylinder head
threads.
Notice: Clean the spark plug recess area before removing the spark plug. Failure to do so could
result in engine damage because of dirt or foreign material entering the cylinder head, or by the
contamination of the cylinder head threads. The contaminated threads may prevent the proper
seating of the new plug. Use a thread chaser to clean the threads of any contamination.
3. Remove the spark plugs from the engine.
Installation Procedure
Notice: Use only the spark plugs specified for use in the vehicle. Do not install spark plugs that are
either hotter or colder than those specified for the vehicle. Installing spark plugs of another type can
severely damage the engine.
Notice: Check the gap of all new and reconditioned spark plugs before installation. The pre-set
gaps may have changed during handling. Use a round feeler gauge to ensure an accurate check.
Installing the spark plugs with the wrong gap can cause poor engine performance and may even
damage the engine.
1. Measure the spark plug gap on the spark plugs to be installed. Compare the measurement to the
gap specifications. Refer to Ignition System
Specifications, See: Specifications Correct as necessary.
Notice: Be sure that the spark plug threads smoothly into the cylinder head and the spark plug is
fully seated. Use a thread chaser, if necessary, to clean threads in the cylinder head.
Cross-threading or failing to fully seat the spark plug can cause overheating of the plug, exhaust
blow-by, or thread damage.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct
part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of
thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints,
lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These
coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the
correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage
to parts and systems.

Processes shown in the Table 3 are capable of recycling waste engine coolants (DEX-COOL(R) or
conventional) to a conventional (green) coolant. Recycling conventional coolant can be
accomplished at your facility by a technician using approved EQUIPMENT (listed by model number
in Table 3), or by an approved coolant recycling SERVICE which may recycle the coolant at your
facility or at an offsite operation. Refer to the table for GM approved coolant recyclers in either of
these two categories. Should you decide to recycle the coolant yourself, strict adherence to the
operating procedures is imperative. Use ONLY the inhibitor chemicals supplied by the respective
(GM approved) recycling equipment manufacturer.
Sealing Tablets
Cooling System Sealing Tablets (Seal Tabs) should not be used as a regular maintenance item
after servicing an engine cooling system. Discoloration of coolant can occur if too many seal tabs
have been inserted into the cooling system. This can occur if seal tabs are repeatedly used over
the service life of a vehicle. Where appropriate, seal tabs may be used if diagnostics fail to repair a
small leak in the cooling system. When a condition appears in which seal tabs may be
recommended, a specific bulletin will be released describing their proper usage.
Water Quality
The integrity of the coolant is dependent upon the quality of DEX-COOL(R) and water.
DEX-COOL(R) is a product that has enhanced protection capability as well as an extended service
interval. These enhanced properties may be jeopardized by combining DEX-COOL(R) with poor
quality water. If you suspect the water in your area of being poor quality, it is recommended you
use distilled or de-ionized water with DEX-COOL(R).
"Pink" DEX-COOL(R)
DEX-COOL(R) is orange in color to distinguish it from other coolants. Due to inconsistencies in the
mixing of the dyes used with DEX-COOL(R), some batches may appear pink after time. The color
shift from orange to pink does not affect the integrity of the coolant, and still maintains the 5
yr/150,000 mile (240,000 km) service interval.
Back Service
Only use DEX-COOL(R) if the vehicle was originally equipped with DEX-COOL(R).

Tires: Diagrams
Tire Rotation
In order to equalize wear, rotate the tires at the specified intervals. In addition to scheduled
rotation, rotate the tire and wheel assembly whenever you notice uneven tire wear. Radial tires
tend to wear faster in the shoulder area, particularly in front positions, due to design. Radial tires in
non-drive locations may develop an irregular wear pattern that can generate tire noise. This
especially makes regular tire rotation necessary.
- For vehicles with single rear wheels (four tires), rotate the tires as shown.
- For vehicles with single rear wheels (five tires), rotate the tires as shown.
- For vehicles with dual rear wheels (same tire sizes and load ranges), rotate the tires as shown.

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

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

Attention:
This bulletin is being issued to provide dealer personnel with information and the procedures to
diagnose an upgraded OnStar(R) Generation 6 Digital-Capable system.
Program Overview
Since it was launched in 1996, OnStar® has relied on an analog wireless network to provide
communication to and from OnStar-equipped vehicles. As part of an industry wide change in the
North American wireless telecommunications industry, wireless carriers are transitioning to digital
technology and will no longer support the analog wireless network beginning early 2008.
Effective January 1, 2008, OnStar(R) service in the United States and Canada will be available
only through vehicles that are capable of operating on the digital network.
Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-08-46-006H for information about upgrading certain
vehicles to digital service. Details were covered in both the November 2006 and December 2007
issues of TechLink, which are available in the Archives of the TechLink website.
Vehicles eligible for an OnStar(R) hardware upgrade are listed in this bulletin. Vehicle
upgradeability can also be determined by typing the VIN into the field entitled "Determine VIN
Hardware Functionality" on the OnStar(R) Online Enrollment website, located in the sales or
service workbench tab of GM GlobalConnect. Canadian Dealers can use a similar tool that is
available within the OnStar(R) Canada Online Enrollment site that can be accessed from the
OnStar(R) Brand Resources in GlobalConnect.
Access to the sales and/or service workbench in the GM GlobalConnect website can be granted by
the dealership's Partner Security Coordinator (PSC).

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.

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

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

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

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

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

IMPORTANT: 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

component pulley, or the pulley bent inward or outward from a previous repair. Test for a misalign
pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across two or three pulleys. If a misalign pulley is
found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation procedure for that pulley.
10. Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that a wrong bolt, nut, spacer, or
washer was installed. 12. Inspecting the pulleys for being bent should include inspecting for a dent
or other damage to the pulleys that would prevent the drive belt from not
seating properly in all of the pulley grooves or on the smooth surface of a pulley when the back
side of the belt is used to drive the pulley.
14. Replacing the drive belt when it is not damaged or there is not excessive pilling will only be a
temporary repair.

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

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor
The camshaft position (CMP) sensor is triggered by a notched reluctor wheel built into the exhaust
camshaft sprocket. The CMP sensor provides six signal pulses every camshaft revolution. Each
notch, or feature of the reluctor wheel is of a different size for individual cylinder identification. This
means the CMP and CKP signals are pulse width encoded to enable the PCM to constantly
monitor their relationship. This relationship is used to determine camshaft actuator position and
control its phasing at the correct value. The PCM also uses this signal to identify the compression
stroke of each cylinder, and for sequential fuel injection. The CMP sensor is connected to the PCM
by a 12-volt, low reference, and signal circuit.

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 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.
Thrust Angles Description
The front wheels aim or steer the vehicle. The rear wheels control tracking. This tracking action
relates to the thrust angle (3). The thrust angle is the path that the rear wheels take. Ideally, the
thrust angle is geometrically aligned with the body centerline (2). In the illustration, toe-in is shown
on the left rear wheel, moving the thrust line (1) off center. The resulting deviation from the
centerline is the thrust angle.
Lead/Pull Description
Lead/pull is the deviation of the vehicle from a straight path, on a level road, without hand pressure
on the steering wheel. Lead/pull is usually caused by the following factors: ^
Tire construction
^ Uneven brake adjustment
^ Wheel alignment
The way in which a tire is built may produce lead/pull. The rear tires will not cause lead.
Memory Steer Description
Memory steer is when the vehicle wants to lead or pull in the direction the driver previously turned
the vehicle. Additionally, after turning in the opposite direction, the vehicle will want to lead or pull in
that direction.
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.

When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200
frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not
lost if the Scan Tool is powered down.
The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis.
The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected
values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and
numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful,
especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC.
Testing For a Short To Voltage
TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to
1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4.
Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Testing for Continuity
TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor is a permanent magnet generator, known as a variable
reluctance sensor. The magnetic field of the sensor is altered by a crankshaft mounted reluctor
wheel that has seven machined slots, six of which are equally spaced 60 degrees apart. The
seventh slot is spaced 10 degrees after one of the 60 degree slots. The CKP sensor produces
seven pulses for each revolution of the crankshaft. The pulse from the 10 degree slot is known as
the sync pulse. The sync pulse is used to synchronize the coil firing sequence with the crankshaft
position. The CKP sensor is connected to the PCM by a signal circuit and a low reference circuit.

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

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

Intermittent Hesitation, Stumble or Idle Stall after Soak, Harsh 1-2 Shift, Slipping 1-2 Shift Followed

Models: 2002-2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer 2002-2003 GMC Envoy 2002-2003 Oldsmobile Bravada
with 4.2L Engine (VIN S - RPO LL8)
Condition
Some customers may comment on an intermittent hesitation/stumble or idle stall within minutes of
starting after the vehicle has been sitting for several hours. Additionally, some customers with a
2003 model year vehicle may comment on a harsh 1-2 shift or 1-2 slip shift that has a bump feeling
when 2nd gear engages.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the EVAP diagnostic test as it opens the purge valve for a few
seconds and then closes it to verify proper emission sensor operation. If the purge canister is
saturated, the EVAP system on-board diagnostic test may cause the vehicle to correct for a rich
condition from the canister. The vehicle would then become lean when the purge valve closes at
the completion of the test. This condition occurs primarily with high RVP fuel and after the vehicle
sits for several hours in a warm ambient, above 21°C (70°F). A customer who takes short trips is
more likely to experience this condition, as they don't have the drive cycle that would allow the
purge canister to fully re-circulate the fuel vapor.
Correction
For Hesitation, Stumble or Idle Stall:
Follow the SI diagnostics for the stall/stumble condition. If the result is no trouble found, then
reprogram the module with the latest calibration.
For Harsh or Slipping Shifts on 2003 Model Year vehicles:
Reprogram the module with the latest calibration.
The calibrations listed are electronic calibrations and are NOT available from GMSPO. Calibrations
will be available from Techline starting September 2003, on the TIS 2003 Disc 10.0 CD ROM.

Fuel: Technical Service Bulletins Fuel - Top Tier Detergent Gasoline Information
Bulletin No.: 04-06-00-047
Date: June 24, 2004
ADVANCED SERVICE INFORMATION
Subject: Top Tier Detergent Gasoline (Deposits, Fuel Economy, No Start, Power, Performance,
Stall Concerns)
Models: 2005 and Prior All General Motors Passenger Cars and Trucks (U.S. Only)
A new class of gasoline, called Top Tier Detergent Gasoline, will be appearing at retail stations of
some fuel marketers. This gasoline meets detergency standards developed by four automotive
companies. A description of the concept and benefits of Top Tier is provided in the following
question and answer section.
What is Top Tier Detergent Gasoline?
Top Tier Detergent Gasoline is a new class of gasoline with enhanced detergency. It meets new,
voluntary deposit control standards developed by four automotive companies that exceed the
detergent requirements imposed by the EPA.
Who developed Top Tier Detergent Gasoline standards?
Top Tier Detergent Gasoline standards were developed by four automotive companies: BMW,
General Motors, Honda and Toyota.
Why was Top Tier Detergent Gasoline developed?
Top Tier Detergent Gasoline was developed to increase the level of detergent additive in gasoline.
The EPA requires that all gasoline sold in the U.S. contain a detergent additive. However, the
requirement is minimal and in many cases, is not sufficient to keep engines clean. In order to meet
Top Tier Detergent Gasoline standards, a higher level of detergent is needed than what is required
by the EPA. Also, Top Tier was developed to give fuel marketers the opportunity to differentiate
their product.
Why did the four automotive companies join together to develop Top Tier?
All four corporations recognized the benefits to both the vehicle and the consumer. Also, joining
together emphasized that low detergency is an issue of concern to several automotive companies.
What are the benefits of Top Tier Detergent Gasoline?
Top Tier Detergent Gasoline will help keep engines cleaner than gasoline containing the "Lowest
Additive Concentration" set by the EPA. Clean engines help provide optimal fuel economy and
performance and reduced emissions. Also, use of Top Tier Detergent Gasoline will help reduce
deposit related concerns.
Who should use Top Tier Detergent Gasoline?
All vehicles will benefit from using Top Tier Detergent Gasoline over gasoline containing the
"Lowest Additive Concentration" set by the EPA. Those vehicles that have experienced deposit
related concerns may especially benefit from use of Top Tier Detergent Gasoline.
Where can Top Tier Detergent Gasoline be purchased?
The Top Tier program began on May 3, 2004. Some fuel marketers have already joined and are
making plans to introduce Top Tier Detergent Gasoline. This is a voluntary program and not all fuel
marketers will offer this product. Once fuel marketers make public announcements, a list of all fuel
marketers meeting Top Tier standards will be made available. For now, look for the "Top Tier"
designation at the gas pump.

Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6.
If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is
a short to ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2.
Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across
the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered).
- When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
- If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter
TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
The J 39200 instruction Data is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is
present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with
a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance
that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
- Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving.
- 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.

same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool
from the J 38125-C. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of
the sealed splice.
IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure
if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
- Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
- Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
- Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
- When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
- Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gage.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
- Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
- Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
- If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of
the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-C in order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
Description and Operation
Security Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation
SECURITY INDICATOR
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) illuminates the SECURITY indicator as determined by the
vehicle theft deterrent (VTD) system. The IPC receives a message via the serial data circuit from
the theft deterrent control module requesting illumination. The VTD system requests the IPC to
illuminate the indicator only when the ignition is ON. The VTD system uses the indicator as a
malfunction indicator. For vehicle theft deterrent (VTD) information, refer to Vehicle Theft Deterrent
(VTD) Description and Operation.
The SECURITY indicator on the instrument cluster is controlled by both the VTD system and the
CTD system. The SECURITY indicator is an LED on the instrument cluster which illuminates the
word SECURITY. The SECURITY indicator is controlled by the body control module grounding the
security indicator control circuit. The VTD system commands the instrument cluster to control the indicator only when the ignition
switch is ON. The VTD system uses the indicator as a malfunction indicator.
- The CTD system commands the instrument cluster to control the indicator only when the ignition
switch is OFF. The CTD system uses the indicator to identify system status.
SECURITY INDICATOR OPERATION
The theft deterrent control module can command the instrument cluster to illuminate the
SECURITY indicator only when the ignition key is in the ON position. If the PCM loses
communication with the theft deterrent control module, the instrument cluster will also detect the
loss of communication and will illuminate the SECURITY indicator. The SECURITY indicator can
indicate both malfunctions, Indicator on steady and tamper, Indicator flashing. A flashing indicator
indicates unauthorized operation. Under the following conditions the SECURITY indicator may be
commanded to illuminate.
SECURITY Indicator Illuminates when Engine is Running If the theft deterrent control module is
unable to measure the ignition key transponder value or the PCM loses communication with the
theft deterrent control module while the engine is running, the indicator will be illuminated.
SECURITY Indicator Illuminated and Engine Does Not Start If the theft deterrent control module
was unable to measure the ignition key transponder value or the PCM has detected a problem with
the theft deterrent system. The VTD system is in Learn Mode. Refer to Programming Theft
Deterrent System Components.
SECURITY Indicator Flashes and Engine Does Not Start The theft deterrent control module has
measured an incorrect transponder value, the calculation to the challenge is incorrect or the PCM
has lost communication with the theft deterrent control module, The VTD system considers this a
tamper condition. The VTD indicator will flash.

Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors.
Backprobe
IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
- Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector.
- Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
- After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a
trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot.
The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows
comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a
first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be
lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
- Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
- Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information

these systems will then completely power OFF.
OnStar(R) Module Expected Current Draw
The expected current draw of the OnStar(R) module in various ignition modes are as follows:
^ Ignition ON ‐ 240 to 400 mA
^ Ignition OFF ‐ 3 to 20 mA for 48 hours
^ Ignition OFF ‐ 0.2 to 0.8 mA after 48 hours (120 hours on specified vehicle
communication platforms (VCPs)).
Note
During extended voltage testing for battery parasitic draw, it is possible to observe a voltage spike
caused by the following:
^ A cellular registration call that was triggered by the local cellular system.
^ The OnStar(R) system has set a monthly trigger for a vehicle data upload call for the OnStar(R)
Vehicle Diagnostic E‐mail upload.
OnStar(R) System States of Readiness
The OnStar(R) system will use the following 4 states of readiness, depending upon the type of
cellular market the vehicle is in when the ignition is turned OFF.
^ High power
^ Low power
^ Sleep
^ Digital standby
The high power state is in effect whenever the ignition is in the ON or RUN position, retained
accessory power (RAP) is enabled, and/or the OnStar(R) system is sending or receiving calls or
when the system is performing a remote function.
The low power state is in effect when the OnStar(R) system is idle with the ignition in the ON or
RUN position, or with RAP enabled.
The sleep state is entered after the vehicle has been shut OFF and the RAP has timed out. At a
predetermined time recorded within the VCIM, the system re-enters the low power state to listen for
a call from the OnStar(R) Call Center for 1 minute. After this interval, the system will again return to
the sleep state for 9 minutes. If a call is sent during the 1 minute interval, the OnStar(R) system will
receive the call and immediately go into the high power mode to perform any requested functions.
If a call is not received during the 1 minute interval, the system will go back into the sleep mode for
another 9 minutes. This process will continue for up to 48 hours, after which the OnStar(R) system
will turn OFF until the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position.
The digital standby power state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the RAP has
timed out while in a digital cellular area. When in digital standby mode, the OnStar(R) module is
able to perform all remote functions as commanded by an OnStar(R) advisor at any time, for a
continuous 48 hours. After 48 hours, the OnStar(R) module will go into sleep mode until a wake up
signal from the vehicle is seen by the CIM. If the OnStar module loses the digital cellular signal it
will revert to analog mode and follow the standard sleep state (9 minutes OFF, 1 minute standby)
based on the time of the GPS signals, this will continue until a digital cellular signal is again
received.
If the OnStar(R) system loses battery power while the system is in a standby or sleep mode, the
system will remain OFF until battery power is restored and the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN
position.
Deactivated OnStar(R) Accounts
In the event that a customer has not upgraded their vehicle to a digital system, the account has
been deactivated. The customers have been previously notified of the steps required to upgrade
their vehicles. After the OnStar(R) account has been deactivated, customers will experience the
following:
^ The OnStar(R) status LED will not illuminate
^ The OnStar(R) system will NOT attempt to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center in the event of a
collision or if the vehicle's front air bags deploy for any other reason.
^ An emergency button press will result in a demo message being played, indicating the service
has been deactivated and needs to be upgraded.

Body Control Module (BCM) C1 Part 3
Page 10382
Accessory Delay Module: Description and Operation
RETAINED ACCESSORY POWER (RAP) DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
RETAINED ACCESSORY POWER (RAP) POWER MODE
RAP is a power mode that permits the operation of selected customer convenience items for 10
minutes after the ignition switch is turned OFF. RAP power mode is enabled by the BCM.
The BCM: controls certain body functions.
- sends out a class 2 message via the serial data line, which enables/disables other modules at the
beginning/end of RAP power mode.
Some BCM features, such as the interior courtesy lamps will function after the 10 minute RAP time
limit has elapsed. This is normal, and does not mean RAP power mode is malfunctioning. The
BCM enables the following functions in RAP Power Mode: The sunroof (internal to BCM - if equipped)
- The right and left power rear windows (internal to BCM - if equipped)
- Any class 2 module that functions in RAP power mode (that is not hard-wired), is controlled by the
BCM via class 2 power mode messages. EXAMPLE: the radio works in RAP power mode due to
the BCM allowing and controlling it.
RAP is disabled when: The door is opened.
- A low battery voltage is detected by the BCM.
- The transition of ignition switch from OFF to ON or ACC.
- 10 minutes have elapsed after the ignition was turned OFF.
- There may be some functions of the vehicle that are hard-wired straight to the battery, these are
the exceptions.
The BCM monitors the ignition switch position, battery voltage and passenger compartment door
status to determine whether RAP power mode should be enabled. If the ignition switch transitions
from ON to OFF, the battery voltage is within the acceptable range and the passenger
compartment doors are closed, the BCM enables RAP power mode. After the 10 minutes has
elapsed, the BCM sends a class 2 message to the serial data network. This message commands
the other modules to stop functioning, that are power moded by the BCM.
RAP RELAY (IF EQUIPPED)
The long base vehicles (GMT370), with third row seating, will have a RAP relay (RAP relay is also
on the G/H Van). Due to this, the BCM will power/enable a relay. On the short based vehicles
(GMT360), the RAP output only needs to drive the sunroof. The BCM is able to supply enough
current to operate the sunroof by itself, so a relay is not needed. Although, on the
GMT370/longbase vehicle, there are optional powered rear quarter vent windows, which are also
enabled in RAP power mode. Refer to Retained Accessory Power (RAP) Schematics for the
applicable schematics for RAP on both vehicle types. On the GMT370/longbase vehicle, the BCM
is not able to supply enough current to both rear quarter vent windows and the sunroof at the same
time (if equipped with both options). This is the purpose of the RAP relay. The BCM energizes the
RAP relay coil, which allows a fused power supply to the sunroof and the rear quarter vent
windows.

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

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

Drive Belt Chirping Diagnosis
Test Description The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.
2. The noise may not be engine related. This step is to verify that the engine is making the noise. If
the engine is not making the noise do not proceed
further with this table.
3. The noise may be an internal engine noise. Removing the drive belt and operating the engine for
a brief period will verify the noise is related to the
drive belt. When removing the drive belt(s) the water pump may not be operating and the engine
may overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive belt removed.
4. Inspect all drive belt pulleys for pilling. Pilling is the small balls or pills or it may be strings in the
drive belt grooves from the accumulation of
rubber dust.
6. Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from improper mounting of the accessory drive
component, incorrect installation of the accessory drive
component pulley, or the pulley bent inward or outward from a previous repair. Test for a misalign
pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across two or three pulleys. If a misalign pulley is
found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation procedure for that pulley.
10. Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that a wrong bolt, nut, spacer, or
washer was installed. 12. Inspecting the pulleys for being bent should include inspecting for a dent
or other damage to the pulleys that would prevent the drive belt from not
seating properly in all of the pulley grooves or on the smooth surface of a pulley when the back
side of the belt is used to drive the pulley.
14. Replacing the drive belt when it is not damaged or there is not excessive pilling will only be a
temporary repair.

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

intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
- If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 volt an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing For Intermittent and Poor Connections
TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
- Wiring broken inside the insulation
- Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector.
- Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
- Wire insulation which is rubbed through - This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
- Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in
order to verify the complaint.
- Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
- Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis.
Testing For Proper Terminal Contact
Tools Required J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter
- J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any in-line connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter, improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the
connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor
terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Round Wire Connectors Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56
series terminals. Refer to the J 38125-C or the J 38125-4 Instruction Data for terminal identification.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2.
Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or
green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J 38125-C , test that the retention force is
significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock)
connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side
of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
Page 7567
5. Remove paint and primer from the area surrounding the 10 mm (0.40 in) until bare metal is
visible.
Important The M6 conductive rivet stud as shown, can accommodate a panel thickness range of
0.7-4.2 mm (0.03-0.17 in). If there are layers of sheet metal, they should be touching without any
air gaps to ensure a good ground.
6. Select a M6 conductive rivet stud. Refer to the Parts Information section of this bulletin.

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

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

Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors.
Backprobe
IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
- Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector.
- Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid
deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large
of a test probe.
- After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected,
test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the
connector.
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while
the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle
condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than
trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a
trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot.
The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows
comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a
first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be
lost.
Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types:
- Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice
- Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information

Steps 8-9
Page 6294
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.

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

of leads.
To properly operate this tool use the following procedure.
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.
Using Connector Test Adapters
USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS
NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-A Connector Test Adapter Kit or the J
42675 Flat Wire Probe Adapter Kit in order to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other
substitutes as they can damage terminals and cause incorrect measurements.
Using Fused Jumper Wires
USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire
IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged.
The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without
damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some
circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested.
Connector Position Assurance Locks
CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS
The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of
all the SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate
apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR mating
terminals.
Terminal Position Assurance Locks
TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS
The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control
module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not
remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.

The reaction sun gear (673) may not hold inside the reaction sun shell (670).
Correction
Important:
There are FOUR distinct groups of vehicles and repair procedures involved. Vehicles built in the
2001 model year and prior that make use of a reaction shaft to shell thrust washer:
^ The sun shell can be identified by four square holes used to retain the thrust washer. Use
reaction sun shell P/N 24228345, reaction carrier to shell thrust washer (699B) P/N 8642202 and
reaction sun gear shell thrust washer (674) P/N 8642331er (674) P/N 8642331along with the
appropriate seals and washers listed below.
^ Vehicles built in the 2001 model year and prior that have had previous service to the reaction sun
shell: It is possible that some 2001 and prior model year vehicles have had previous service to the
reaction sun shell. At the time of service, these vehicles may have been updated with a Reaction
Sun Shell Kit (Refer to Service Bulletin 020730003) without four square holes to retain the thrust
washer. If it is found in a 2001 model year and prior vehicles that the reaction sun shell DOES NOT
have four square holes to retain the thrust washer, these vehicles must be serviced with P/Ns
24229825 (674), 24217328 and 8642331 along with the appropriate seals and washers listed
below.
^ Vehicles built in the 2001 model year and later that make use of a reaction shaft to shell thrust

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

Conditions for Running the DTC
Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range of 9 - 16 volts.
DTCs B1327, B1328, U1300, U1301, U1305 are not set as current.
The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A message containing a critical operating parameter has not been received within the last 5
seconds after establishing class 2 serial data communication.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The module uses a default value for the missing parameter.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a
repeat of the malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
When a malfunction such as an open fuse to a module occurs while modules are communicating, a
DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is set current. When the modules stop
communicating the current DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is cleared but the
history DTC remains. When the modules begin to communicate again, the module with the open
fuse will not be learned by the other modules so U1000 or U1255 is set current by the other
modules. If the malfunction occurs when the modules are not communicating, only U1000 or
U1255 is set.

INFORMATION
Subject: Oil Pump Assembly Seal and Transmission Case Change
Models: 2002-2004 Cars and Light Duty Trucks with 4L60-E or 4L65-E Automatic Transmissions
(RPOs M30, M32 or M33)
An improved oil pump to case seal design has been made to the 4L60-E/4L65-E transmission. The
new design affects the oil pump, the oil pump seal, the transmission pan bolts and the transmission
case. The complete design was implemented in three phases.
The first phase, beginning in September 2002, relocated the machining of the oil pump 0-ring seal
groove in the pump body. The 0-ring seal groove moved 1.6 mm (0.62 in) inward on the pump body
in order to place the sealing surface deeper into the case bore. The relocated pump body groove
can be identified by measuring the groove location. Pump bodies that measure 2.3 mm (0.09 in)
from the machined surface to the groove opening have the relocated 0-ring seal groove. Pump
bodies that measure 3.9 mm (0.15 in) are prior to September 2002 design.

- A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
- A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The J 38125-C also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items:
- A large sampling of common electrical terminals
- The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires
- The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-C. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.

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

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

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.
Using Connector Test Adapters
USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS
NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter
of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection,
which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-A Connector Test Adapter Kit or the J
42675 Flat Wire Probe Adapter Kit in order to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other
substitutes as they can damage terminals and cause incorrect measurements.
Using Fused Jumper Wires
USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES

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.

Testing For Short to Ground
TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the
DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6.
If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2.
Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is
a short to ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2.
Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across
the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered).
- When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
- If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter
TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only
be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200.
The J 39200 instruction Data is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is
present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with
a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance
that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
- Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving.
- 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.

7. Using a wrench on the rivet stud tool, and a socket on the M6 nut, secure the M6 conductive
rivet stud. 8. Ensure the rivet stud is securely fastened, WITHOUT ANY detectable movement. 9.
Completely wrap the threads of the rivet stud with painters tape or equivalent.
Note The rivet stud and surrounding panel area MUST BE properly refinished PRIOR to the
installation of the ground wire terminal and conductive nut to maintain a secure, stable and
corrosion-free electrical ground.
10. Refinish the repair area using an anti-corrosion primer. Refer to Anti-Corrosion Treatment and
Repair in SI. 11. Allow the refinished repair area to cure sufficiently before removing the protective
material applied to the rivet stud threads. 12. Remove the painters tape or equivalent from the rivet
stud threads. 13. Using GM approved residue-free solvent or equivalent, thoroughly clean the rivet
stud threads to remove any adhesive and allow to dry. 14. Using a small brush, apply Dielectric
Lubricant GM P/N 12377900 (Canadian P/N 10953529) to the threads of the M6 conductive rivet
stud.
Note Fretting corrosion is a build-up of insulating, oxidized wear debris that can form when there is
a small motion between electrical contacts. The oxidized wear debris can accumulate at the
electrical contact points causing the electrical resistance across the connection to increase.

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

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-C Terminal Repair Kit
The supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system/supplemental restraint system (SRS) requires
special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific
procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system
terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.
The tool kit J 38125-C contains the following items:
- Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction Data
The sealed splices have the following 2 critical features:
- A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
- A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The J 38125-C also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items:
- A large sampling of common electrical terminals
- The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires
- The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair Use the connector repair
assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the
terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits
include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the
new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in
order to match the splices from the J 38125-C. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to
apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available
in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the
assembly packs.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness
connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector:
- The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
- The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate
connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire
SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.

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

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to provide repair information for this customer concern. Please discard
Corporate Bulletin Number 04-01-38-019 (Section 01 - HVAC).
Condition
Some customers may comment on slow to cool Air Conditioning (A/C) performance or high A/C
outlet temperatures after start up or that the A/C system is not cooling sufficiently, especially in high
ambient temperatures. This may be an intermittent condition and the performance of the Heating,
Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system may not meet customer expectations.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the response of the Electro-Viscous (EV) fan clutch and can be
related to airflow across the condenser. This low A/C system performance can occur for longer
periods of time if the vehicle is allowed to idle or is driven in low speed conditions. The response of
the EV fan clutch will affect A/C system performance. As higher road speeds are attained, the
increased airflow across the condenser will usually improve A/C system performance and the
response of the EV fan clutch. This condition may be more evident after the vehicle has set for a
period of time and can be difficult to duplicate. The condition may occur after the vehicle has set for
as little as 10 minutes or as long as overnight. It is most prevalent intermittently during the first 15
minutes of operation.
Correction
Technicians are to replace the EV fan clutch with a new design part, P/N 15293048, on vehicles
built before June 2005. Vehicles built in June 2005 may already have the updated EV fan clutch
and it will not need to be replaced. For 2004 model year vehicles and older, update the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) with a software calibration that was developed to improve coolant
temperature gauge readings. This new calibration will cause the PCM to command small amounts
of additional fan engagement to better control engine coolant temperatures. Model year 2005
vehicles already have this calibration installed. Refer to Corporate Service Bulletin Number
04-06-02-005 for more information about this calibration.
Proper diagnosis of any customer concern is essential. Refer to the Diagnostic Starting
Point-Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning procedure in SI to begin a diagnosis of any HVAC
concerns. Refer to the Diagnostic Starting Point-Engine Cooling procedure in SI to begin a
diagnosis of any engine cooling or engine cooling fan concerns. If an attempt is made to diagnose
an HVAC system concern, all parameters must be measured. As an example, both the low and
high side refrigerant pressure readings must be measured. If only the low side pressure readings
were measured, it would appear that the A/C compressor is disengaging at a higher pressure than
expected. If both the low and high side pressures were being measured, it would be noted that the
A/C compressor is probably disengaging due to the maximum high side pressure cut out point
being reached. This occurs to protect the HVAC system from damage. The updated PCM software
calibration along with the updated EV fan clutch will improve this condition due to increased air flow
across the condenser. The new EV fan clutch has an increased minimum operating fan speed and
an improved response time. Additional engine cooling

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

^ Pay the dealer the regular retail price (no discounts are available) for one of the following 1-year,
non-refundable OnStar(R)
Analog-to-Digital Transition (ADT) Service Subscription Plans:
^ 1-year Safe & Sound Subscription: $199 ($289 in Canada)
^ 1-year Directions & Connections Subscription: $399 ($579 in Canada)
^ Pay the dealer the applicable state and local sales taxes on the subscription:
^ U.S. Dealers: Taxes only apply in these states: CT, DC, FL, HI, ND, NJ, NM, NY, SC, SD, TX,
and WV
^ Canadian Dealers: All applicable taxes
^ Pay the dealer a one-time charge of $15 for the upgrade:
^ U.S. Dealers: Do not collect taxes on the $15
^ Canadian Dealers: Collect all applicable taxes on the $15
Note:
Dealers should NOT remit OnStar(R) ADT-related taxes to their taxing authority as OnStar(R) is
responsible for tax remittance.
Please Be Sure To Read these Important Points:
^ The 1-year OnStar(R) subscription is not refundable or transferable to another person. Upgraders
can apply unused subscription months to a new or Certified Pre-Owned digital OnStar-equipped
GM vehicle purchase or lease. As noted above, the digital upgrade program requires the
subscriber to purchase a one-year prepaid OnStar(R) subscription. Assuming the subscriber
intends to keep their vehicle, but subsequently purchases or leases a 2006 model year or newer
OnStar(R)-equipped new or certified used GM vehicle, in the interest of subscriber satisfaction,
they may apply remaining unused whole months of the subscription to the new vehicle. The
subscription may not be applied to another person's vehicle.
Important:
This is a customer satisfaction measure that would usually occur several months after an upgrade.
It is not intended to be leveraged as part of a new/used vehicle purchase or lease transaction.
^ The $15 charge is not refundable.
^ Dealer ADT kit orders are VIN specific. Dealer kit orders require a VIN and must be exchanged
with the OnStar(R) unit in the vehicle with that VIN. Proper activation and enrollment depends on
this step.
^ You must put the actual miles on the Repair Order. Do not estimate.
^ Customers will receive a Hands-Free Calling number once the digital hardware is installed and
configured.
^ Any nametags that were stored in the old system will need to be re-set by the subscriber once the
new hardware is installed.
^ Customers are responsible for the charges described above regardless of whether their vehicle is
in or out of the New Vehicle Warranty period. In addition, customers should not be charged labor
costs. Dealers can charge GM the labor for the upgrade as specified at the end of this bulletin
using the listed labor operation.
^ Vehicles eligible for an OnStar(R) hardware upgrade are listed in this bulletin. Vehicle
upgradeability can also be determined by typing the VIN into the field entitled "Determine VIN
Hardware Functionality" on the OnStar(R) Online Enrollment website, located in the sales or
service workbench tab of GM GlobalConnect. Canadian Dealers can use a similar tool that is
available within InfoNET.
^ Access to the sales and/or service workbench in the GM GlobalConnect website can be granted
by the dealership's Partner Security Coordinator (PSC). If you are unsure who the PSC is, check
with the Sales Manager.

When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200
frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not
lost if the Scan Tool is powered down.
The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis.
The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected
values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and
numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful,
especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC.
Testing For a Short To Voltage
TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.
The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to
1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4.
Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt,
there is a short to voltage in the circuit.

Body Control Module: Description and Operation
BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM)
The CTD system is an internal function of the Body Control Module (BCM) which utilizes class 2
serial data from the driver door module (DDM), Passenger door module (PDM) and the liftgate
module (LGM) and various switch input information to perform CTD functions. When the BCM
detects an unauthorized entry, it activates the horns and exterior lamps.
When the BCM detects an unauthorized entry, the BCM enters the alarm mode. The BCM
activates the horns and exterior lamps for 2 minutes. This is followed by a three minute time-out
with the horn no longer active. If no new intrusions are detected after the time-out, the horn is not
active. The system must be disarmed or the intrusion condition removed after the time-out for the
system to exit alarm mode.
The BCM contains the logic of the theft deterrent system. The BCM provides the battery positive
voltage to operate the Passlock(TM) Sensor. The BCM also measures the voltage of the security
sensor signal circuit. The voltage measured will indicate whether the Passlock(TM) Sensor has
been activated and whether the resistance value from the sensor is a valid value or the tamper
value. If voltage measured is in the valid range, the BCM compares this voltage, voltage code, to a
previously learned voltage code. If the voltage codes match, the BCM sends a class 2 message
containing a password to the PCM. If the voltage codes do not match, or the voltage is in the
Tamper range, or there is a circuit fault, the BCM will not send the correct password to the PCM,
and the vehicle will not start.
