Description and Operation


Manual Transmission

Gear Select (Skip Shift)

Manual transmissions are identified by the number of


forward gears and the measured distance between
the centerline of the output shaft and the counter gear.
The 6-speed, 85 mm manual transmission
(PRO MM6), used in the Camaro/Firebird, incorporates
the following features:

To ensure good fuel economy and compliance with


federal economy standards, SECOND and THIRD gear
are inhibited when shifting out of FIRST gear under
the following conditions:
1. Coolant temperature is above 50 c (122 F).
2. Vehicle speed is between 20 and 29 km/h
(12 and 19 mph).
3. Throttle is opened 35 percent or less.

an aluminum case.
Fully synchronized gearing with an enhanced
synchronizer cone arrangement:
- Triple-cone: FIRST, SECOND
- Double-cone: THIRD, FOURTH,
FIFTH, SIXTH
- Single-cone: REVERSE

Reverse Lockout
A reverse lockout system (consisting of a reverse
lockout solenoid which operates a reverse lockout
mechanism) is utilized to prevent shifting into
REVERSE gear when the vehicle is moving forward at
a speed of 5 km/h (3 mph) or more.

An internal shift rail mechanism.

Vehicle Speed Sensor

Tapered roller bearing supporting the mainshaft


and countershaft.

The vehicle speed sensor (VSS) is pulse type input


that informs the PCM how fast the vehicle is traveling.
The VSS system uses an inductive sensor mounted
in the tail housing of the transmission and a toothed
reluctor wheel on the tail shaft. The teeth of the
reluctor wheel alternately interfere with the magnetic
field of the sensor creating an induced voltage pulse as
the reluctor rotates.

Caged roller bearings under all speed gears.


Solenoid inhibit of SECOND and THIRD gears.
Solenoid inhibit of REVERSE gear during
predefined forward motion.

This parameter indicates whether a short to voltage
exists in the TCC solenoid valve feedback signal to the
PCM. This parameter is valid only when the TCC
solenoid is commanded ON.
TCC Mode: Displays a range of O through 5.
Zero (0) or Off Mode indicates that the PCM commands
the TCC OFF at a calibrated minimum throttle. The
calibrated minimum throttle is different at low vehicle
speeds than it is at high vehicle speeds. Off Mode is
also active when the transmission is in the wrong gear
range, the engine or the transmission is cold, the brake
input indicates that the brakes are ON, a downshift or
upshift is initiated, the engine is at idle, the transmission
is in Hot Mode or a misfire is detected. One (1) or
Release Mode indicates that the PCM commands the
release of the TCC. Two (2) or Apply Mode indicates
that the PCM commands the apply of the TCC. Apply
pressure varies based on normal or performance
operations, hot conditions or if the cruise control is
active. Apply Mode is used under normal driving
conditions. All apply pressure is dependent on throttle
position and vehicle speed. Three (3) or Apply Enable
Mode indicates that enabling conditions are met for
applying the TCC (enabling conditions include vehicle
speed, gear selection, transmission temperature,
throttle angle, brake switch status, etc.). Four (4) or
Locked Mode indicates that the PCM commands full
capacity of the TCC when the transmission is in fourth
gear and the vehicle speed is greater than a calibrated
value. When variable TCC apply pressure stops (Apply
Mode), maximum TCC pressure is used. Five (5) or
Coast Mode indicates that the PCM commands apply of
the TCC when the transmission is in fourth gear and the
throttle and vehicle speed are not high enough to
enable Apply Mode, but high enough to keep the TCC
applied. When Coast Mode is active, TCC apply
pressure is set to a predetermined amount.

Value(s)

Yes

No

The Functional Test Procedure is the first step in diagnosing mechanical or hydraulic transmission conditions. The Functional
Test provides procedures and references to the Symptom Diagnosis table for specific diagnostic information.

Important: Engine performance can greatly affect


transmission performance. Ensure that the complaint is not
the result of poor engine performance before continuing.
Verify the customer complaint.
Has the customer complaint been verified?
Important: Many transmissions have default actions that
take place once a DTC fault is detected. These actions
may be interpreted as being a transmission concern.
Has the A Powertrain On Board Diagnostic (OBD) System
Check (3.8L) or A Powertrain On Board Diagnostic (OBD)
System Check (5.7L) been performed?

Perform a visual inspection. Look for the following


conditions:
Vehicle damage
Transmission oil pan damage. Refer to Oil Pan
Replacement.
Worn or damaged suspension parts. Refer to Front
Suspension.
Worn or damaged steering parts. Refer to Steering.
Transmission range selector cable damaged or out of
adjustment. Refer to Shift Cable Replacement or Shift
Cable Adjustment.
Loose, worn, damaged or missing:
- mounts or struts
- brackets
- mounting hardware
Refer to Transmission Replacement (3.BL) (3800
V6) or Transmission Replacement (5. 7L).
Transmission cooler or cooler line restrictions. Refer to
AT Oil Cooler Flushing.

DTC P0218 Transmission Fluid Overtemperature (3.8L)

COOLER

(
154212

Circuit Description

Conditions for Setting the OTC

The flow of transmission fluid starts in the bottom pan


and is drawn through the filter, control valve body
assembly, transmission case and into the oil pump
assembly. The oil pump assembly pressurizes the fluid
and directs it to the pressure regulator valve where
it becomes the main supply of fluid to the various
components and hydraulic circuits in the transmission.
Hot fluid exiting the torque converter flows through
the converter clutch apply valve and into the
transmission cooler lines to the oil cooler located in
the vehicle radiator (and auxiliary cooler if equipped).
From the cooler, fluid returns to cool and lubricate
the front of the transmission. In forward drive ranges,
D4 fluid from the manual valve is routed through
an orificed cup plug in the rear of the transmission
case to feed the rear lube fluid circuit.
If the powertrain control module (PCM) detects a high
transmission fluid temperature (TFT) for a long
period of time, then DTC P0218 sets. DTC P0218 is a
type D DTC.

The TFT is greater than 130C (266F) for 1O minutes


(600 seconds).

Conditions for Running the OTC


No TFT sensor DTCs P0711, P0712 or P0713.
The ignition switch is in the RUN position for
5 seconds.

Action Taken When the OTC Sets


The PCM does not illuminate the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL).
The PCM freezes shift adapts from being updated.
The PCM stores DTC P0218 in PCM history.

Conditions for Clearing the OTC


A scan tool clears the DTC from PCM history.
The PCM clears the DTC from PCM history if the
vehicle completes 40 consecutive warm-up
cycles without a non-emission-related diagnostic
fault occurring.
The PCM cancels the DTC default actions when
the fault no longer exists and the ignition switch
is OFF long enough in order to power
down the PCM.

Circuit Description
The vehicle speed sensor (VSS) assembly provides
vehicle speed information to the powertrain control
module (PCM). The VSS assembly is a permanent
magnet (PM) generator. The PM generator produces a
pulsing AC voltage as rotor teeth on the transmission
output shaft pass through the sensor's magnetic
field. The AC voltage level and the number of pulses
increase as the speed of the vehicle increases.
The PCM converts the pulsing voltage to vehicle
speed. The PCM uses the vehicle speed signal
to determine shift timing and torque converter clutch
(TCC) scheduling.
If the PCM detects a low vehicle speed when there is
a high engine speed in a drive gear range, then
DTC P0502 sets. DTC P0502 is a type B DTC.

Conditions for Running the OTC

No MAP sensor DTCs P0107 or P0108


No TP sensor DTCs P0122 or P0123
No TFP manual valve position switch DTC P1810
The transmission is not in PARK or NEUTRAL
The TP angle is greater than 12%.
The engine vacuum is 0-105 kPa.
The engine speed is greater than 3000 RPM.
The engine torque is 40-400 lb ft.

Conditions for Setting the OTC


The transmission output speed is less than 150 RPM
for 2.5 seconds.

Acion Taken When the OTC Sets


The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator
lamp {MIL) during the second consecutive
trip in which the conditions for setting the DTC
are met.
The PCM commands second gear only.

The PCM commands maximum line pressure.


The PCM inhibits TCC engagement.
The PCM freezes shift adapts from being updated.
The PCM stores DTC P0502 in PCM history
during the second consecutive trip in which
the conditions for setting the DTC are met.

Conditions for Clearing the MIUDTC

The PCM turns OFF the MIL during the third


consecutive trip in which the diagnostic test runs
and passes.
A scan tool clears the DTC from PCM history.
The PCM clears the DTC from PCM history if the
vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without an
emission-related diagnostic fault occurring.
The PCM cancels the DTC default actions when
the fault no longer exists and the ignition switch
is OFF long enough in order to power
down the PCM.

Diagnostic Aids
Inspect the wiring at the PCM, the VSS connector
and all other circuit connecting points for the
following conditions:
- A backed out terminal
- A damaged terminal
- Reduced terminal tension
- A chafed wire
- A broken wire inside the insulation
- Moisture Intrusion
- Corrosion
When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open
condition, massage the wiring harness while
watching the test equipment for a change.

Circuit Description

The PCM commands maximum line pressure.

The vehicle speed sensor {VSS) assembly provides


vehicle speed information to the powertrain control
module {PCM). The VSS assembly is a permanent
magnet {PM) generator. The PM generator produces a
pulsing AC voltage as rotor teeth on the transmission
output shaft pass through the sensor's magnetic
field. The AC voltage level and the number of pulses
increase as the speed of the vehicle increases.
The PCM converts the pulsing voltage to vehicle
speed. The PCM uses the vehicle speed signal
to determine shift timing and torque converter clutch
{TCC) scheduling.
If the PCM detects a low vehicle speed when there is
a high engine speed in a drive gear range, then
OTC P0502 sets. OTC P0502 is a type B OTC.

The PCM inhibits TCC engagement.

Conditions for Running the DTC

No MAP sensor OTCs P0107 or P0108.


No TP sensor OTCs P0122 or P0123.
No TFP manual valve position switch OTC P181 O.
The transmission is not in PARK or NEUTRAL.

The TP angle is greater than 15%.


The engine vacuum is 0-105 kPa.
The engine speed is greater than 3000 RPM.
The engine torque is 30-400 lb ft.

The PCM freezes shift adapts from being updated.


The PCM stores OTC P0502 in PCM history
during the second consecutive trip in which
the conditions for setting the OTC are met.

Conditions for Clearing the MIUDTC


The PCM turns OFF the MIL during the third
consecutive trip in which the diagnostic test runs
and passes.
A scan tool clears the OTC from PCM history.
The PCM clears the OTC from PCM history if the
vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without an
emission-related diagnostic fault occurring.
The PCM cancels the OTC default actions when
the fault no longer exists and the ignition switch
is OFF long enough in order to power
down the PCM.

Diagnostic Aids
Inspect the wiring at the PCM, the VSS connector
and all other circuit connecting points for the
following conditions:
- A backed out terminal

Condi1ions for Setting the DTC

- A damaged terminal

The transmission output speed is less than 150 RPM


for 2.5 seconds.

- Reduced terminal tension

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

- A broken wire inside the insulation

The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator


lamp {MIL) during the second consecutive
trip in which the conditions for setting the OTC
are met.
The PCM commands first gear only.

- A chafed wire
- Moisture intrusion
- Corrosion
When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open
condition, massage the wiring harness while
watching the test equipment for a change.

sensor is part of the automatic transmission fluid
pressure (TFP) manual valve position switch. The TFT
sensor is a resistor, or thermistor, which changes
value based on temperature. The sensor has a
negative-temperature coefficient. This means that as
the temperature increases, the resistance decreases,
and as the temperature decreases, the resistance
increases. The powertrain control module (PCM)
supplies a 5-volt reference signal to the sensor on
circuit 1227 and measures the voltage drop in
the circuit. When the transmission fluid is cold, the
sensor resistance is high and the PCM detects

high signal voltage. As the fluid temperature warms to


a normal operating temperature, the resistance
becomes less and the signal voltage decreases. The
PCM uses this information to control shift quality
and torque converter clutch apply.
When the PCM detects one of the following unusual
conditions, then OTC P0711 sets.
An unrealistically large change in transmission
temperature
A transmission temperature which remains
constant for a period of time in which a
measurable amount of change is expected
OTC P0711 is a type D OTC.

Conditions for Clearing the OTC


A scan tool clears the DTC from PCM history.
The PCM clears the DTC from PCM history if the
vehicle completes 40 consecutive warm-up
cycles without a non-emission-related diagnostic
fault occurring.
The PCM cancels the DTC default actions when
the fault no longer exists and the ignition switch
is OFF long enough in order to power
down the PCM.

Diagnostic Aids
Inspect the wiring at the PCM, the transmission
connector and all other circuit connecting points
for the following conditions:
- A backed out terminal
- A damaged terminal
- Reduced terminal tension
- A chafed wire
- A broken wire inside the insulation
- Moisture intrusion
- Corrosion
When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open
condition, massage the wiring harness while
watching the test equipment for a change.
Use the Temperature vs Resistance table when
testing the TFT sensor at various temperature
levels. Test the TFT sensor in order to evaluate
the possibility of a skewed (mis-scaled) sensor. A
skewed sensor can result in delayed garage
shifts or TCC complaints.
The scan tool also displays the transmission fluid
temperature in degrees. After the transmission is
operating, the fluid temperature should rise
steadily to a normal operating temperature, then
stabilize.
Verify customer driving habits, trailer towing, etc.
Trailer towing should occur in D3.

Circuit Description
The automatic transmission fluid temperature (TFT)
sensor is part of the automatic transmission fluid
pressure (TFP) manual valve position switch. The TFT
sensor is a resistor, or thermistor, which changes
value based on temperature. The sensor has a
negative-temperature coefficient. This means that as
the temperature increases, the resistance decreases,
and as the temperature decreases, the resistance
increases. The powertrain control module (PCM)
supplies a 5-volt reference signal to the sensor on
circuit 1227 and measures the voltage drop in
the circuit. When the transmission fluid is cold, the
sensor resistance is high and the PCM detects
high signal voltage. As the fluid temperature warms to

a normal operating temperature, the resistance


becomes less and the signal voltage decreases. The
PCM uses this information to control shift quality
and torque converter clutch apply.
When the PCM detects a continuous short to ground
in the TFT signal circuit or in the TFT sensor, then
OTC P0712 sets. OTC P0712 is a type O OTC.

Conditions for Running the OTC


The system voltage is 8-18 volts.
The ignition switch is in the RUN position.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The TFT sensor indicates a signal voltage less
than 0.2 volts for 10 seconds.

6. If the engine run time is greater


than 300 seconds and ECT is less them 40C
(104F) or more, then the default TFT is
equal to 60C (140F).
The PCM freezes shift adapts from being updated.
The PCM stores OTC P0712 in PCM history.

The PCM does not illuminate the malfunction


indicator lamp (MIL).
Important: The actions listed below are in order of
highest to lowest priority.

The PCM determines a default TFT using the


following matrix:
1. If any ECT DTCs P0117 or P0118 are set,
then the default TFT is equal to
135C (275F).
2. If the ECT is 125C (257F) or more, then the
default TFT is equal to 135C (275F).
3. If the engine run time is less
than 300 seconds and:
No intake air temperature (IAT) DTCs
P0112 or P0113 are set and IAT is
available, then the default TFT is equal
to IAT.
Any IAT DTCs P0112 or P0113 are set
or IAT is NOT available, then the
default TFT is equal to 90C (194F).

4. If the engine run time is greater


than 300 seconds and No IAT DTCs P0112 or
P0113 are set and IAT is available and ECT is
between 40 and 125C (104 and 257F) and:
IAT at startup is less than 15C (59F),
then the default TFT is equal to the ECT
plus 5C (8F).
IAT at startup is greater than 35C (95F),
then the default TFT is equal to the ECT
plus 10C (16F).
IAT at startup is between 15 and 35C
(59 and 95F), then the default TFT is
equal to the ECT.
5. If the engine run time is greater
than 300 seconds and any IAT DTCs P0112 or
P0113 are set or IAT is NOT available, then
the default TFT is equal to the ECT.

7-117

Conditions for Clearing the OTC


A scan tool clears the OTC from PCM history.
The PCM clears the OTC from PCM history if the
vehicle completes 40 consecutive warm-up
cycles without a non-emission-related diagnostic
fault occurring.
The PCM cancels the OTC default actions when
the fault no longer exists and the ignition switch
is OFF long enough in order to power
down the PCM.

Diagnostic Aids
Inspect the wiring at the PCM, the transmission
connector and all other circuit connecting points
for the following conditions:
- A backed out terminal
- A damaged terminal
- Reduced terminal tension
- A chafed wire
- A broken wire inside the insulation
- Moisture intrusion
- Corrosion
When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open
condition, massage the wiring harness while
watching the test equipment for a change.
Use the Temperature vs Resistance table when
testing the TFT sensor at various temperature
levels. Test the TFT sensor in order to evaluate
the possibility of a skewed (mis-scaled) sensor. A
skewed sensor can result in delayed garage
shifts or TCC complaints.
The scan tool displays the transmission fluid
temperature in degrees. After the transmission is
operating, the fluid temperature should rise
steadily to a normal operating temperature, then
stabilize.
Verify customer driving habits, .trailer towing, etc.
Trailer towing should occur in 03.

Conditions for Clearing the OTC


A scan tool clears the DTC from PCM history.
The PCM clears the OTC from PCM history if the
vehicle completes 40 consecutive warm-up
cycles without a non-emission-related diagnostic
fault occurring.
The PCM cancels the DTC default actions when
the fault no longer exists and the ignition switch
is OFF long enough in order to power
down the PCM.

Diagnostic Aids
Inspect the wiring at the PCM, the transmission
connector and all other circuit connecting points
for the following conditions:
- A backed out terminal
- A damaged terminal
- Reduced terminal tension
- A chafed wire
- A broken wire inside the insulation
- Moisture intrusion
- Corrosion
When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open
condition, massage the wiring harness while
watching the test equipment for a change.
Use the Temperature vs Resistance table when
testing the TFT sensor at various temperature
levels. Test the TFT sensor in order to evaluate
the possibility of a skewed (mis-scaled) sensor. A
skewed sensor can result in delayed garage
shifts or TCC complaints.
The scan tool displays the transmission fluid
temperature in degrees. After the transmission is
operating, the fluid temperature should rise
steadily to a normal operating temperature, then
stabilize.

Circuit Description

Conditions for Setting the OTC

The brake switch indicates brake pedal status to the


powertrain control module (PCM). The brake switch is
a normally-closed switch that supplies battery
voltage on circuit 420 to the PCM. Applying the brake
pedal opens the switch, interrupting voltage to the
PCM. When the brake pedal is released, the
PCM receives a constant voltage signal. If the PCM
receives a zero voltage signal at the brake switch
input, and the torque converter clutch (TCC) is
engaged, the PCM de-energizes the TCC solenoid
valve. The PCM disregards the brake switch input for
TCC scheduling if there is a brake switch circuit
fault (Refer to Diagnostic Aids).
When the PCM detects an open brake switch circuit
(0 volts, low input) during accelerations, then
DTC P0719 sets. DTC P0719 is a type D DTC.

The PCM detects an open brake switch circuit


(0 volts) for 15 minutes without changing for
2 seconds, and the following events occur seven times:

Conditions for Running the OTC

The vehicle speed is less than 8 km/h (5 mph);


then the vehicle speed is 8-32 km/h
(5-20 mph) for 4 seconds;
then the vehicle speed is greater than 32 km/h
(20 mph) for 6 seconds.

Action Taken When the OTC Sets


The PCM does not illuminate the malfunction

Circuit Description

Conditions for Setting the OTC

The brake switch indicates brake pedal status to the


powertrain control module (PCM). The brake switch is
a normally-closed switch that supplies battery
voltage on circuit 420 to the PCM. Applying the brake
pedal opens the switch, interrupting voltage to the
PCM. When the brake pedal is released, the
PCM receives a constant voltage signal. If the PCM
receives a zero voltage signal at the brake switch
input, and the torque converter clutch (TCC) is
engaged, the PCM de-energizes the TCC solenoid
valve. The PCM disregards the brake switch input for
TCC scheduling if there is a brake switch circuit fault.

The PCM detects a closed brake switch circuit


(12 volts) without changing for 2 seconds, and the
following events occur seven times:
The vehicle speed is greater than 32 km/h
(20 mph) for 6 seconds;
then the vehicle speed is 8-32 km/h (5-20 mph)
for 4 seconds;
then the vehicle speed is less than
8 km/h (5 mph).

When the PCM detects a closed brake switch


circuit (12 volts, high input) during decelerations, then
OTC P0724 sets. OTC P0724 is a type O OTC.

Conditions for Running the OTC


No VSS assembly OTCs P0502 or P0503.
The ignition switch is in the RUN position.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM does not illuminate the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL).
The PCM stores OTC P0724 in PCM history.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC


A scan tool clears the OTC from PCM history.
The PCM clears the OTC from PCM history if the
vehicle completes 40 consecutive warm-up
cycles without a non-emission-related diagnostic
fault occurring.
The PCM cancels the OTC default actions when
the fault no longer exists and the ignition switch
is OFF long enough in order to power
down the PCM.

Circuit Description
The torque converter clutch (TCC) solenoid valve is a
normally-open exhaust valve that used with the
torque converter clutch pulse width modulation
(TCC PWM) solenoid valve in order to control fluid
acting on the converter clutch apply valve. The TCC
solenoid valve attaches to the transmission case
assembly extending into the pump cover. When
grounded (energized) by the powertrain control module
(PCM), the TCC solenoid valve stops converter
signal oil from exhausting. This causes converter

is

signal oil pressure to increase and move the converter


clutch apply valve against spring force and into the
apply position. In this position, release fluid is open to
an exhaust port and converter feed fluid fills the
apply fluid circuit. The converter feed fluid applies the
TCC. When the PCM no longer provides a ground
path, the TCC solenoid valve de-energizes and apply
fluid exhausts, releasing the TCC.
When the PCM detects low torque converter slip when
the PCM commands the TCC OFF, then OTC P0742
sets. DTC P0742 is a type B DTC.

Circuit Description
The torque converter clutch (TCC) solenoid valve is a
normally-open exhaust valve that is used with the
torque converter clutch pulse width modulation
(TCC PWM) solenoid valve in order to control fluid
acting on the converter clutch apply valve. The TCC
solenoid valve attaches to the transmission case
assembly extending into the pump cover. When
grounded (energized) by the powertrain control module
(PCM), the TCC solenoid valve stops converter
signal oil from exhausting. This causes converter

signal oil pressure to increase and move the converter


clutch apply valve against spring force and into the
apply position. In this position, release fluid is open to
an exhaust port and converter feed fluid fills the
apply fluid circuit. The converter feed fluid applies the
TCC. When the PCM no longer provides a ground
path, the TCC solenoid valve de-energizes and apply
fluid exhausts, releasing the TCC.
When the PCM detects low torque converter slip when
the PCM commands the TCC OFF, then DTC P0742
sets. DTC P0742 is a type B DTC.

Circuit Description
The pressure control (PC) solenoid valve is an
electronic device that regulates transmission line
pressure based on the current flow through its
coil winding. The magnetic field produced by the coil
moves the solenoid's internal valve which varies
pressure to the pressure regulator valve. The
powertrain control module (PCM} controls the PC
solenoid valve by applying a varying amount of
amperage to the solenoid. The applied amperage can
vary from 0.1 to 1.1 amps. Low amperage (0.1 amp}
indicates high line pressure. High amperage
(1.1 amps} indicates low .line pressure. The duty cycle
of the PC solenoid valve is expressed as a
percentage of energized ON time. Zero percent
indicates zero ON time (non-energized} or no current
flow. Approximately 60% at idle indicates maximum
ON time (energized} or high current flow. The
PCM determines the appropriate line pressure for a
given load by comparing the throttle position (TP}
voltage, the engine speed and other inputs.
When the PCM detects a continuous open or short to
ground in the PC solenoid valve circuit or the PC
solenoid valve, then OTC P0748 sets. DTC P0748 is a
type O OTC.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The system voltage is 9-18 volts.
The engine is running.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The PC solenoid valve duty cycle reaches its high limit
(approximately 95%) or low limit (approximately 0%).

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM does not illuminate the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL}.
The PC solenoid valve is OFF.
The PCM freezes shift adapts from being updated.
The PCM stores OTC P0748 in PCM history.

Conditions for Clearin.g the DTC


A scan tool clears the DTC from PCM history.
The PCM clears the DTC from PCM history if the
vehicle completes 40 consecutive warm-up
cycles without a non-emission-related diagnostic
fault occurring.
The PCM cancels the OTC default actions when
the fault no longer exists and the ignition switch
is OFF long enough in order to power
down the PCM.

Circuit Description
The 2 - 3 shift solenoid (SS) valve controls the fluid
flow acting on the 2 - 3 shift valves. The 2 - 3 SS valve
is a normally-open exhaust valve that is used with
the 1 - 2 SS valve in order to allow four different
shifting combinations. The solenoid attaches to the
control valve body within the transmission. The
2 - 3 SS valve receives ignition voltage through
circuit 239. The powertrain control module (PCM)
controls the solenoid by providing the ground path on
circuit 1223.
When the PCM detects a continuous open or short to
ground in the 2 - 3 SS valve circuit or the
2 - 3 SS valve, then DTC P0758 sets. DTC P0758 is a
type A DTC.

Conditions for Running the OTC


The system voltage is 8-18 volts.
The engine speed is 300 RPM for 5 seconds.
The engine is not in fuel cutoff.

Conditions for Setting the OTC


DTC P0758 sets if either of the following conditions
occurs for 5 seconds.
The PCM commands the solenoid ON and the
voltage input remains high (B+).
The PCM commands the solenoid OFF and the
voltage input remains low (0 volts).

Action Taken When the OTC Sets


The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL).
The PCM commands third gear only.
The PCM commands maximum line pressure.
The PCM inhibits TCC engagement.
The PCM freezes shift adapts from being updated.
The PCM stores DTC P0758 in PCM history.

Conditions for Clearing the MIUOTC


The PCM turns OFF the MIL during the third
consecutive trip in which the diagnostic test runs
and passes.
A scan tool clears the DTC from PCM history.
The PCM clears the DTC from PCM history if the
vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without an
emission-related diagnostic fault occurring.
The PCM cancels the DTC default actions when
the fault no longer exists and the ignition switch
is OFF long enough in order to power
down the PCM.

Circuit Description
The automatic transmission fluid pressure (TFP)
manual valve position switch consists of five pressure
switches (two normally-closed and three
normally-open) and a transmission fluid temperature
(TFT) sensor combined into one unit. The combined
unit mounts on the valve body.
The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies the
battery voltage tor each range signal. By grounding
one or more of the circuits through various
combinations of the pressure switches, the PCM
detects which manual valve position you select. The
PCM compares the actual voltage combination of
the switches to a TFP manual valve position switch
combination table stored in memory.

The TFP manual valve position switch cannot


distinguish between PARK and NEUTRAL because
the monitored valve body pressures are identical. With
the engine OFF and the ignition switch in the RUN
position, the TFP manual valve position switch
indicates PARK or NEUTRAL. Disconnecting the
transmission 20-way connector removes the ground
potential for the three range signals to the PCM. In this
case, with the engine OFF, and the ignition switch
in the RUN position, 02 will be indicated.
When the PCM detects an invalid state of the TFP
manual valve position switch or the TFP manual valve
position switch circuit by deciphering the TFP
manual valve position switch inputs, then OTC P1810
sets. OTC P1810 is a type B OTC.

Transmission/Transaxle
Conditions for Running the OTC
No VSS assembly DTCs P0502 or P0503.
The system voltage is 9-18 volts.
The engine speed is greater than 450 RPM for
5 seconds.
The engine is not in fuel cutoff.
The engine torque is 50-450 lb ft.
The engine vacuum is 0-105 kPa.

Conditions for Setting the OTC


OTC P1810 sets if any of the following conditions
occurs:

Condition 1
The PCM detects an illegal TFP manual valve position
switch state for 60 seconds.

Condition 2
The engine speed is less than 100 RPM for
0.1 second; then
the engine speed is 100-600 RPM for
0.05 second; then
the engine speed is greater than 600 RPM.
The vehicle speed is less than 3 km/h (2 mph).

The PCM detects a gear range of 02, 04 or


REVERSE during an engine start.
All conditions are met for 5 seconds

Condition 3
The TP angle is 7-50%.

Automatic Transmission - 4L60-E 7-197


Conditions for Clearing the MIUDTC
The PCM turns OFF the MIL during the third
consecutive trip in which the diagnostic test runs
and passes.
A scan tool clears the OTC from PCM history.
The PCM clears the OTC from PCM history if the
vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without an
emission-related diagnostic fault occurring.
The PCM cancels the OTC default actions when
the fault no longer exists and the ignition switch
is OFF long enough in order to power
down the PCM.

Diagnostic Aids
Refer to the TFP Manual Valve Position Switch
Logic table for the normal range signals and
the illegal combinations. ln the table, ON is O volts,
OFF is 12 volts.
Inspect the wiring at the PCM, the transmission
connector and all other circuit connecting points
for the following conditions:
- A backed out terminal
- A damaged terminal
- Reduced terminal tension
- A chafed wire
- A broken wire inside the insulation
- Moisture intrusion
- Corrosion
When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open
condition, massage the wiring harness while
watching the test equipment for a change.
Refer to the TFP Manual Valve Position Switch
Resistance Check or the Functional Test
Procedure tor further information.

Circuit Description
The torque converter clutch pulse width modulation
(TCC PWM) solenoid valve controls the fluid acting on
the converter clutch valve. The converter clutch
valve controls the TCC application and release. The
solenoid attaches to the control valve body within
the transmission. The solenoid receives ignition
voltage through circuit 239. The powertrain control
module (PCM) controls the solenoid by providing
a ground path on circuit 418. Current flows through
the solenoid coil according to the duty cycle
(percentage of ON and OFF time). The TCC PWM
solenoid valve provides a smooth engagement of the
torque converter clutch by operating during a duty
cycle percent of ON time.
When the PCM detects a continuous open or short to
ground in the TCC PWM solenoid valve circuit or
the TCC PWM solenoid valve, then OTC P1860 sets.
OTC P1860 is a type B DTC.

Conditions for Running the OTC


The system voltage is 9-18 volts.
The engine speed is greater than 450 RPM for
5 seconds.
The engine is not in fuel cutoff.

The PCM commands first gear.


The TCC duty cycle is less than 10% or greater
than 90%.

Conditions for Setting the OTC


OTC P1860 sets if either of the following conditions
occurs for 5 seconds:
The PCM commands the solenoid ON (90%) and
the voltage input remains high (B+).
The PCM commands the solenoid OFF (0%) and
the voltage input remains low (0 volt).

Action Taken When the OTC Sets


The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator
lamp {MIL) during the second consecutive
trip in which the conditions for setting the OTC
are met.
The PCM inhibits TCC engagement.
The PCM inhibits 4th gear if the transmission is in
hot mode.
The PCM freezes shift adapts from being updated.
The PCM stores DTC P1860 in PCM history
during the second consecutive trip in which
the conditions for setting the DTC are met.

Transmission/Transaxle

Automatic Transmission - 4L60-E 7.;.205

Circuit Description
The torque converter clutch pulse width modulation
{TCC PWM) solenoid valve controls the fluid acting on
the converter clutch valve. The converter clutch
valve controls the TCC application and release. The
solenoid attaches to the control valve body within
the transmission. The solenoid receives ignition
voltage through circuit 239. The powertrain control
module {PCM) controls the solenoid by providing
a ground path on circuit 418. Current flows through
the solenoid coil according to the duty cycle
{percentage of ON and OFF time). The TCC PWM
solenoid valve provides a smooth engagement of the
torque converter clutch by operating during a duty
cycle percent of ON time.
When the PCM detects a continuous open or short to
ground in the TCC PWM solenoid valve circuit or
the TCC PWM solenoid valve, then OTC P1860 sets.
OTC P1860 is a type B OTC.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The system voltage is 8-18 volts.
The engine speed is greater than 300 RPM for
5 seconds.

The engine is not in fuel cutoff.


The PCM commands first gear.
The TCC duty cycle is less than 10% or greater
than 90%.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


OTC P1860 sets if either of the following conditions
occurs for 5 seconds:
The PCM commands the solenoid ON (90%) and
the voltage input remains high {B+).
The PCM commands the solenoid OFF (0%) and
the voltage input remains low (0 volt).

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive
trip in which the conditions for setting the OTC
are met.
The PCM inhibits TCC engagement.
The PCM inhibits 4th gear if the transmission is in
hot mode.
The PCM freezes shift adapts from being updated.
The PCM stores OTC P1860 in PCM history
during the second consecutive trip in which
the conditions for setting the OTC are met.

Transmission/Transaxle

Automatic Transmission - 4L60-E 7-209

Conditions for Clearing the MIUDTC


The PCM turns OFF the MIL during the third
consecutive trip in which the diagnostic test runs
and passes.
A scan tool clears the OTC from PCM history.
The PCM clears the OTC from PCM history if the
vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without an
emission-related diagnostic fault occurring.
The PCM cancels the OTC default actions when
the fault no longer exists and the ignition switch
is OFF long enough in order to power
down the PCM.

Conditions for Setting the OTC


OTC P1870 sets if the following conditions occur for
three TCC cycles.
The TCC is commanded ON for 5 seconds.
The TCC is at maximum duty cycle for 1 second.
The TCC slip speed is 80--800 RPM for
7 seconds.
Important: The following actions may occur before
the OTC sets.
If the TCC is commanded ON and at maximum
duty cycle for 5 seconds, the TP angle is
10-40%, and the transmission slip counter has
incremented to either 1 or 2 (out of 3 to increment
the fail counter for the current ignition cycle),
then the following slip conditions and actions may
increment the fail counter for the current
ignition cycle:
These conditions must occur sequentially.
- Condition 1: If the TCC slip speed is
80--800 RPM for 7 seconds, then the PCM
will command maximum line pressure
and freeze shift adapts from being updated.
- Condition 2: If Condition 1 is met and
the TCC slip speed is 80--800 RPM for
7 seconds, then the PCM will command the
TCC OFF for 1.5 seconds.
- Condition 3: If Condition 2 is met and the
TCC slip speed is 80--800 RPM for
7 seconds, then the fail counter on the
current ignition cycle is incremented.
The above slip conditions and actions may be
disregarded if the TCC is commanded OFF at any
time as a result of a driving maneuver (sudden
acceleration or deceleration).

Transmission!Transaxle
Action Taken When the OTC Sets
The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive
. trip in which the conditions for setting the OTC
are met.
The PCM inhibits TCC engagement.
The PCM commands maximum line pressure.
The PCM inhibits 4th gear if the transmission is in
hot mode.
The PCM freezes shift adapts from being updated.
The PCM stores OTC P1870 in PCM history
during the second consecutive trip in which
the conditions for setting the OTC are met.

Conditions for Clearing the MIUDTC


The PCM turns OFF the MIL during the third
consecutive trip in which the diagnostic test runs
and passes.
A scan tool clears the OTC from PCM history.
The PCM clears the OTC from PCM history if the
vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without an
emission-related diagnostic fault occurring.
The PCM cancels the DTC default actions when
the fault no longer exists and the ignition switch
is OFF long enough in order to power
down the PCM.

Diagnostic Aids
Internal transmission failures may set OTC P1870.

Circuit Description

Diagnostic Aids

The 2nd gear start switch enables the operator to


select a 2nd gear start for increased traction in slippery
driving conditions. When the operator selects a 2nd
gear start, the 2nd gear start switch input signal
momentarily toggles to zero volts. The PCM then turns
ON the 2nd gear start indicator lamp and de-energizes
the 1 - 2 shift solenoid valve, enabling second gear.
The 2nd gear start indicator lamp is located within the
2nd gear start switch.

If the electrical circuit checks are OK and 2nd gear


starts are not correct, then a mechanical/hydraulic
malfunction may exist.

During light and medium acceleration conditions, the


vehicle starts in 2nd gear when the 2nd gear start
is selected. However, 2nd gear starts are overridden
and 1st gear starts occur if a hard acceleration
condition (wide open throttle) is requested. A normal
1st gear start is obtained by toggling the 2nd gear start
switch again, or when the ignition switch is cycled
OFF, then ON.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
1. This step tests the second gear start switch
circuits.
2. This step tests for a voltage input from the PCM
to the 2nd gear start switch.
3. This step tests for a faulty 2nd gear start switch.
8. This step tests for a voltage input from the fuse to
the 2nd gear start switch.
9. This step tests for a faulty indicator lamp circuit
within the 2nd gear start switch.

Line Pressure Range


55-189 psi
64-324 psi

Before performing a line pressure check, verify that


the pressure control (PC) solenoid for the transmission
is receiving the correct electrical signal from the PCM:
1. Install a Scan Tool.

Caution: Keep the brakes applied at all times in


order to prevent unexpected vehicle motion.
Personal injury may result if the vehicle moves
unexpectedly.
Notice: The transmission may experience harsh, soft
or mushy shifts tor up to two days later.
2. Start the engine and set the parking brake.
3. Check for diagnostic trouble codes, including a
stored diagnostic code tor the PC solenoid.
4. Repair the vehicle if necessary. Include the
following areas:
Inspect the fluid level
Inspect the manual linkage at the transmission
Install or connect the Scan Tool.
Install or connect the oil pressure gauge at the
line pressure tap.
5. Put the gear selector in Park and set the
parking brake.
6. Start the engine and allow the engine to warm up
at idle.
7. Access the PCS Control test on the Scan Tool.
8. Increase DESIRED PCS in 0.1 amp increments.
Read the corresponding line pressure on the
pressure gauge. Allow the pressure to stabilize for
five seconds after each current charge.
9. Compare your data to the Drive-Park-Neutral line
pressure table below.
If your pressure readings differ greatly from the line
pressure table, refer to the Diagnosis Tables.
The Scan Tool is only able to control the PC solenoid
in Park and Neutral with the vehicle stopped. This
protects the clutches from extremely high or low
pressures in Drive or Reverse ranges.
Refer to the Line Pressure table. The pressures in the
table assume an engine speed of 1500 RPM and a
temperature of 66C (150F). The pressure will
vary with a change in temperature.

Important: Harsh engagement may be caused by any


of the following conditions:
High idle speed. Compare engine idle speed to
desired idle speed.
Commanded low PC solenoid current. Compare
PC solenoid reference current to PC solenoid
actual current.
A default condition caused by certain DTCs that
result in maximum line pressure to prevent
slippage.

Important: Soft or delayed engagement may be


caused by any of the following conditions:
Low idle speed. Compare engine idle speed to
desired idle speed.
Low fluid level.

If any of the above checks do not perform properly,
record the result for reference after completion of
the road test.

Upshift Control and Torque Converter Clutch


(TCC) Apply
The PCM calculates the upshift points based primarily
on two inputs: throttle angle and vehicle speed.
When the PCM determines that conditions are met for
a shift to occur, the PCM commands the shift by
closing or opening the ground circuit tor the
appropriate solenoid.
Perform the following steps:
1. Refer to the Shift Speed table in this section and
choose a throttle position of 12%, 25% or 50%.
All throttle angles shown should be tested to cover
the normal driving range.
2. Monitor the following scan tool parameters:
Throttle angle
Vehicle speed
Engine speed
Output shaft speed
Commanded gear
Slip speed
Solenoid states
3. Place the gear selector in the OVERDRIVE
position.
4. Accelerate the vehicle using the chosen throttle
angle. Hold the throttle steady.
5. As the transmission upshifts, note the vehicle
speed when the shift occurs for each gear
change. There should be a noticeable shift feel or
engine speed change within 1 to 2 seconds of
the commanded gear change.
6. Compare the shift speeds to the Shift Speed
table. Refer to Shift Speed. Shift speeds may
vary slightly due to transmission fluid temperature
or hydraulic delays in responding to electronic
controls.
Note any harsh, soft or delayed shifts or
slipping.
Note any noise or vibration.

pressure plate does not fully lock to the torque
converter cover. Instead, the pressure plate maintains
a small amount of slippage (about 20 RPM) in
SECOND, THIRD and FOURTH gears, depending on
the vehicle application. ECCC was developed to
reduce the possibility of noise, vibration or chuggle
caused by TCC apply. Typical apply speeds are
49-52 km/h (30-32 mph) in THIRD gear and
65-73 km/h (4o-45 mph) in FOURTH gear. Full
lockup is available at highway speeds on some
applications.
~m_portant: The TCC w!II not engage until the engine
1s m closed loop operation and the vehicle speed
is as shown in the Shift Speed table. Refer to Shift
Speed. The vehicle must be in a near-cruise condition
(not accelerating or coasting) and on a level road
surface.
8. Check for TCC apply in THIRD and
FOURTH gear.
Note the TCC apply point. When the TCC
'.3-PPlie~ there should be a noticeable drop
m engine speed and a drop in slip speed to
below 100 RPM. If the TCC apply can not
be detected:
- Check for DTCs.
- Refer to Torque Converter Diagnosis
Procedure.
Refer to the Shift Speed table for the correct
apply speeds.
Lightly tap and release the brake pedal. The
TCC will release on most applications.

Manual Gear Range Selection

Poor Acceleration at Low Speed

The shift solenoids control the upshifts in the manual


gear ranges.

If the stator is freewheeling at all times, the car tends


to have poor acceleration from a standstill. At
speeds above 50-55 km/h (30-35 mph), the car may
act normally. For poor acceleration, you should
first determine that the exhaust system is not blocked,
and the transmission is in First gear when starting out.
If the engine freely accelerates to high RPM in
NEUTRAL, you can assume that the engine and the
exhaust system are normal. Check for poor
performance in DRIVE and REVERSE to help
determine if the stator is freewheeling at all times.

Perform the following tests using 1O to 15%


throttle angle.

Torque Converter Diagnosis Procedure


The Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) is applied by fluid
pressure, which is controlled by a PWM solenoid
valve. This solenoid valve is located inside of
the automatic transmission assembly. The solenoid
valve is controlled through a combination of computer
controlled switches and sensors.

Torque Converter Stator


The torque converter stator roller clutch can have two
different malfunctions.
The stator assembly freewheels in both directions.
The stator assembly remains locked up at
all times.

Poor Acceleration at High Speed


If the stator is locked up at all times, performance is
normal when accelerating from a standstill. Engine
RPM and car speed are limited or restricted at
high speeds. Visual examination of the converter may
reveal a blue color from overheating.
If the converter has been removed, you can check the
stator roller clutch by inserting a finger into the
splined inner race of the roller clutch and trying to turn
the race in both directions. You should be able to
freely turn the inner race clockwise, but you should
have difficulty in moving the inner race
counterclockwise or yqu may be unable to move the
race at all.

Noise
Important: Do not confuse this noise with pump
whine noise, which is usually noticeable in PARK,
NEUTRAL and all other gear ranges. Pump whine will
vary with line pressure.
You may notice a torque converter whine when the
vehicle is stopped and the transmission is in DRIVE or
REVERSE. This noise will increase as you increase
the engine RPM. The noise will stop when the vehicle
is moving or when you apply the torque converter
clutch, because both halves of the converter are
turning at the same speed.
Perform a stall test to make sure the noise is actually
coming from the converter:
1. Place your foot on the brake.
2. Put the gear selector in DRIV~.

Notice: You may damage the transmission if you


depress the accelerator for more than six seconds.
3. Depress the accelerator to approximately
1,200 RPM for no more than six seconds.
A torque converter noise will increase under this load.

Torque Converter Clutch Shudder


The key to diagnosing Torque Converter Clutch (TCC)
shudder is to note when it happens and under what
conditions.
TCC shudder which is caused by the transmission
should only occur during the apply or the release of the
converter clutch. Shudder should never occur after
the TCC plate is fully applied.

7-230

Automatic Transmission - 4L60-E

If Shudder Occurs During TCC Apply or


Release
If the shudder occurs while the TCC is applying, the
problem can be within the transmission or the
torque converter. Something is causing one of the
following conditions to occur:
Something is not allowing the clutch.to become
fully engaged.
Something is not anowing the clutch to release.
The clutch is releasing and applying at
the same time.
One of the following conditions may be causing the
problem to occur:
Leaking turbine shaft seals
A restricted release orifice
A distorted clutch or housing surface due to long
converter bolts
Defective friction material on the TCC plate

If Shudder Occurs After TCC has Applied


If shudder occurs after the TCC has applied, most of
the time there is nothing wrong with the transmission!
The TCC is not likely to slip after the TCC has
been applied. Engine problems may go unnoticed
under light throttle and load, but they become
noticeable after the TCC apply when going up a hill or
accelerating. This is due to the mechanical coupling
between the engine and the transmission.
Once
is applied, there is no torque converter
(fluid coupling} assistance. Engine or driveline
vibrations could be unnoticeable before TCC
engagement.
Inspect the following components in order to avoid
misdiagnosis of TCC shudder. An inspection will also
avoid the unnecessary disassembly of a transmission
or the unnecessary replacement of a torque
converter.
Spark plugs - Inspect for cracks, high resistance
or a broken insulator.
Plug wires - Look in each end. If there is red dust
(ozone} or a black substance (carbon} present,
then the wires are bad. Also look for a white
discoloration of the wire. This indicates arcing
during hard acceleration.
Coil - Look for a black discoloration on the bottom
of the coil. This indicates arcing while the engine
is misfiring.
Fuel injector - The filter may be plugged.
Vacuum leak - The engine will not get a correct
amount of fuel. The mixture .may run rich or
lean depending on where the leak occurs.
EGA valve - The valve may let in too much or too
little unburnable exhaust gas and could cause the
engine to run rich or lean.
MAP/MAF sensor - Like a vacuum leak, the
engine will not get the correct amount of fuel for
proper engine operation.
Carbon on the intake valves - Carbon restricts the
proper flow of air/fuel mixture into the cylinders.

rec

Transmission/Transaxle
Flat cam - Valves do not open enough to let the
proper fuel/air mixture into the cylinders.
Oxygen sensor - This sensor may command the
engine too rich or too lean for too long.
Fuel pressure - This may be too low.
Engine mounts - Vibration of the mounts can be
multiplied by TCC engagement.
Axle joints - Check for vibration.
TP Sensor - The TCC apply and release depends
on the TP Sensor in many engines. If the TP
Sensor is out of specification, TCC may remain
applied during initial engine loading.
Cylinder balance - Bad piston rings or poorly
sealing valves can cause low power in a cylinder.
Fuel contamination - This causes poor engine
performance.
Replace the torque converter if any of the following
conditions exist:
External leaks appear in the hub weld area.
The converter hub is scored or damaged.
The converter pilot is broken, damaged, or fits
poorly into the crankshaft.
You discover steel particles after flushing the
cooler and the cooler lines.
The pump is damaged, or you discover steel
particles in the converter.
The vehicle has TCC shudder and/or no TCC
apply. Replace the torque converter only after
all hydraulic and electrical diagnoses have been
made. The converter clutch material may be
glazed.
The converter has an imbalance which cannot
be corrected. Refer to Torque Converter
Vibration Test.
The converter is contaminated with engine
coolant which contains antifreeze.
An internal failure occurs in the stator roller
clutch.
You notice excessive end play.
Overheating produces heavy debris in the clutch.
You discover steel particles or clutch lining
material in the fluid filter or on the magnet, when
no internal parts in the unit are worn or
damaged. This condition indicates that lining
material came from the converter.
Do Not Replace the Torque Converter if you discover
any of the following symptoms:
The oil has an odor or the oil is discolored, even
though metal or clutch facing particles are not
present.
The threads in one or more of the converter bolt
holds are damaged. Correct the condition with
a new thread inset.
Transmission failure did not display evidence of
damaged or worn internal parts, steel particles
or clutch plate lining material in the unit and inside
the fluid filter.
The vehicle has been exposed to high mileage
only. An exception may exist where the lining
of the torque converter clutch dampener plate has
seen excess wear by vehicles operated in
heavy and/or constant traffic, such as taxi,
delivery, or police use.

Torque Converter Vibration Test

Clutch Plate Diagnosis

To determine and correct a torque converter vibration,


the following procedure may have to be performed
several times to achieve the best possible torque
converter to flywheel balance.

Composition Plates

1. With the engine at idle speed and the transmission


in PARK or NEUTRAL, observe the vibration.
2. Turn the engine OFF.
3. Remove the torque converter bolts.
Refer to Torque Converter Cover Replacement.
4. Rotate the torque converter one bolt position.
5. Install torque converter bolts.
Refer to Torque Converter Cover Replacement.
6. With the engine at idle speed and the transmission
in PARK or NEUTRAL, observe the vibration.
Repeat this procedure until you obtain the best
possible balance.

Noise and Vibration Analysis

A noise or vibration that is noticeable when the vehicle


is in motion MAY NOT be the result of the
transmission.
If noise or vibration is noticeable in PARK and
NEUTRAL with the engine at idle, but is less
noticeable as RPM increases, the cause may be from
poor engine performance.
Inspect the tire for the following:
- Uneven wear
- Imbalance
- Mixed sizes
- Mixed radial and bias ply. Refer to Tires and
Wheels
Inspect the suspension components for the
following:
- Alignment and wear
- Loose fasteners
Refer to Front Suspension.
Inspect the engine and transmission mounts for
damage and loose bolts.
Inspect the transmission case mounting holes for
the following:
- Missing bolts, nuts, and studs
- Stripped threads
- Cracks
Inspect the flywheel for the following:
- Missing or loose bolts
- Cracks
- Imbalance

Automatic Transmission - 4L60-E

Inspect the torque converter for the following:


- Missing or loose bolts or lugs
- Missing or loose balance weights
- Imbalance

7-231

Dry the plates and inspect the plates for the following
conditions:
Pitting
Flaking
Wear
Glazing
Cracking
Charring
Chips or metal particles embedded in the lining
Replace a composition plate which shows any of these
conditions.

Steel Plates
Important: If the clutch shows evidence of extreme
heat or burning, replace the springs.
Wipe the plates dry and check the plates for heat
discoloration. If the surfaces are smooth, even if color
smear is indicated, you can reuse the plate. If the
plate is discolored with heat spots or if the surface is
scuffed, replace the plate.

Causes of Burned Clutch Plates


The following conditions can result in a burned
clutch plate:
Incorrect usage of clutch plates
Engine coolant in the transmission fluid
A cracked clutch piston
Damaged or missing seals
Low line pressure
Valve body conditions
- The valve body face is not flat
- Porosity between channels
- The valve bushing clips are improperly
installed
- The checkballs are misplaced
The Teflon seal rings are worn or damaged

Engine Coolant in Transmission


Notice: The antifreeze will deteriorate the Viton 0-ring
seals and the glue that bonds the clutch material to
the pressure plate. Both conditions may cause damage
to the transmission.
If the transmission oil cooler has developed a leak
allowing engine coolant to enter the transmission,
perform the following:
1. Disassemble the transmission.
2. Replace all of the rubber type seals. (The coolant
will attack the seal material which will cause
leakage.)
3. Replace the composition-faced clutch plate
assemblies. (The facing material may separate
from the steel center portion.)
4. Replace all of the nylon parts (washers).
5. Replace the torque converter.

Fluid Leak Diagnosis

Damaged or worn seal

General Method

Improper installation

1. Verify that the leak is transmission fluid.


2. Thoroughly clean the suspected leak area.
3. Operate the vehicle for 24 km (15 mi), or until
normal operating temperatures are reached.
4. Park the vehicle over clean paper or cardboard.
5. Shut OFF the engine.
6. Look for fluid spots on the paper.
7. Make the necessary repairs.

Powder Method
1. Thoroughly clean the suspected leak area with
solvent.
2. Apply an aerosol type powder, such as foot
powder, to the suspected leak area.
3. Operate the vehicle for 24 km (15 mi), or until
normal operating temperatures are reached.
4. Shut OFF the engine.
5. Inspect the suspected leak area.
6. Trace the leak path through the powder in order
to find the source of the leak.
7. Make the necessary repairs.

determine the amount of dye to use.
2. Detect the leak with the black light.
3. Make the necessary repairs.

Porous casting.

Find the Cause of the Leak


Pinpoint the leak and trace the leak back to the
source. You must determine the cause of the leak in
order to repair the leak properly. For example, if you
replace a gasket, but the sealing flange is bent, the new
gasket will not repair the leak. You must also repair the
bent flange,. Before you attempt to repair a leak, check
for the following conditions, and make repairs as
necessary:

Gaskets
Fluid level/pressure is too high
Plugged vent or drain-back holes
Improperly tightened fasteners
Dirty or damaged threads
Warped flanges or sealing surface
Scratches, burrs, or other damage to the sealing
surface
Damaged or worn gasket
Cracking or porosity of the component
Improper sealant used, where applicable
Incorrect gasket

Leak at the Torque Converter End


Converter leak in the weld area.
Converter seal lip cut. Check the converter hub
for damage.
Converter seal bushing moved forward and
damaged.
Converter seal garter spring missing from
the seal.
Porous casting of the transmission case or the
oil pump.

Leak at the Vent Pipe or the Fluid Fill Tube

transmission case.
2. Measure the resistance from terminal M to the
transmission case.
Are both resistances greater than the specified value?
1. Disconnect the TFP manual valve position switch
from the AfT wiring harness assembly.
Important: The resistance of the TFT sensor is
temperature dependent, and therefore varies far more than
any other device. Refer to Transmission Fluid Temperature
Sensor in Electronic Component Description
2. Using the J 39200 DMM, measure the resistance
between terminal A and terminal B of the TFP manual
valve position switch (TFT sensor).
Is the resistance within the specified range?
1. Measure the resistance from TFP manual valve
position switch terminal A to the transmission case.
2. Measure the resistance from TFP manual valve
position switch terminal B to the transmission case.
Are both resistances greater than the specified value?
Inspect for high resistance or a short:
Inspect the AfT wiring harness assembly for poor
electrical connections at the automatic
transmission 20-way connector, and at the TFP
manual valve position switch. Look for the following
conditions:
- A backed out terminal
- A damaged terminal
- Reduced terminal tension
- Moisture intrusion
- Corrosion
If diagnosing for an intermittent condition, massage
the wiring harness while watching the test equipment
for a change.

Description and Operation


Transmission General Information

Definitions and Abbreviations

How to Use This Section

Throttle Positions

This section provides the following information:

Engine Braking: A condition where the engine is


used to slow the vehicle by manually downshifting
during a zero throttle coastdown.

General diagnosis information on transmissions


A detailed description of the Hydra-matic
transmission operation
Procedures for diagnosing the Hydra-matic
transmission
When you diagnose any condition of the Hydra-matic
transmission, begin with the Functional Test
Procedure. This procedure indicates the proper path
of diagnosing the transmission by describing the basic
checks. This procedure will then refer you to the
locations of specific checks. After you have determined
the cause ofa condition, refer to Repair Instructions
for repair procedures. If the faulty component is
not serviceable without removing the transmission
from the vehicle, refer to Unit Repair for repair
information.

Basic Knowledge
Notice: Do not, under any circumstances, attempt to
diagnose a powertrain condition without basic
knowledge of this powertrain. If you perform diagnostic
procedures without this basic knowledge, you may
incorrectly diagnose the condition or damage the
powertrain components.
You must be familiar with some basic electronics in
order to use this section of the service manual.
You should also be able to use the following
special tools:
A Digital Multimeter (DMM)
A circuit tester
Jumper wires or leads
A line pressure gage set
The Functional Test Procedures verify the correct
operation of electronic components in the transmission.
These procedures eliminate the unnecessary removal
of transmission components.

Diagnosis
Notice: If you probe a wire with a sharp instrument
and do not properly seal the wire afterward, the
wire corrodes and an open circuit results.
Diagnostic test probes are now available that allow
you to probe individual wires without leaving the wire
open to the environment. These probe devices are
inexpensive and easy to install, and they permanently
seal the wire from corrosion.

Full Throttle Detent Downshift: A quick apply of


the accelerator pedal to its full travel, forcing a
downshift.
Heavy Throttle: Approximately 3/4 of accelerator
pedal travel (75% throttle position).
Light Throttle: Approximately 1/4 of accelerator
pedal travel (25% throttle position).
Medium Throttle: Approximately 1/2 of accelerator
pedal travel (50% throttle position).
Minimum Throttle: The least amount of throttle
opening required for an upshift.
Wide Open Throttle (WOT): Full travel of the
accelerator pedal (100% throttle position).
Zero Throttle Coastdown: A full release of the
accelerator pedal while the vehicle is in motion and in
drive range.

Shift Condition Definitions


Bump: A sudden and forceful apply of a clutch or
a band.
Chuggle: .A bucking or jerking. This condition may
be most noticeable when the converter clutch is
engaged. It is similar to the feel of towing a trailer.
Delayed: A condition where a shift is expected but
does not occur for a period of time. This could be
described as a clutch or band engagement that does
not occur as quickly as expected during a part
throttle or wide open throttle apply of the accelerator,
or during manual downshifting to a lower range.
This term is also defined as LATE or EXTENDED.
Double Bump (Double Feel): Two sudden
and forceful applies of a clutch or a band.
Early: A condition where the shift occurs before the
car has reached proper speed. This condition tends
to labor the engine after the upshift.
End Bump: A firmer feel at the end of a shift than at
the start of the shift. This is also defined as END
FEEL or SLIP BUMP.
Firm: A noticeably quick apply of a clutch or band
that is considered normal with a medium to heavy
throttle. This apply should not be confused with
HARSH or ROUGH.
Flare: A quick increase in engine RPM along with a
momentary loss of torque. This most generally
occurs during a shift. This condition is also defined as
SLIPPING.
Harsh (Rough): A more noticeable apply of a clutch
or band than FIRM. This condition is considered
undesirable at any throttle position.

Transmission/Transaxle

Hunting: A repeating quick series of upshifts and


downshifts that causes a noticeable change in engine
RPM, such as a 4 - 3-4 shift pattern. This condition
is also defined as BUSYNESS.
Initial Feel: A distinctly firmer feel at the start of a
shift than at the finish of the shift.
Late: A shift that occurs when the engine RPM is
higher than normal for a given amount of throttle.
Shudder: A repeating jerking condition similar to
CHUGGLE but more severe and rapid. This condition
may be most noticeable during certain ranges of
vehicle speed.
Slipping: A noticeable increase in engine RPM
without a vehicle speed increase. A slip usually occurs
during or after initial clutch or band apply.
Soft: A slow, almost unnoticeable clutch or band
apply with very little shift feel.
Surge: A repeating engine related condition of
acceleration and deceleration that is less intense than
CHUGG LE.
Tie-Up: A condition where two opposing clutch
and/or bands are attempting to apply at the same time
causing the engine to labor with a noticeable loss of
engine RPM.

Noise Conditions

Drive Link Noise: A whine or growl that increases


or fades with vehicle speed, and is most noticeable
under a light throttle acceleration. It may also be
noticeable in PARK or NEUTRAL operating ranges
with the vehicle stationary.
Final Drive Noise: A hum related to vehicle speed
which is most noticeable under a light throttle
acceleration.
Planetary Gear Noise: A whine related to vehicle
speed, which is most noticeable in FIRST gear,
SECOND gear, FOURTH gear or REVERSE. The
condition may become less noticeable, or go away,
after an upshift.
Pump Noise: A high pitched whine that increases in
intensity with engine RPM. This condition may also
be noticeable in all operating ranges with the vehicle
stationary or moving.
Torque Converter Noise: A whine usually noticed
when a vehicle is stopped, and the transmission
is in DRIVE or REVERSE. The noise will increase with
engine RPM.

3 - 2 Shift Solenoid Valve Assembly

Electronic Component Description


)

7-331

1 - 2 and 2 - 3 Shift Solenoid Valves

325350

8885

Important: The shift solenoid valve resistance should


measure 19-24 ohms minimum when measured at
20c (68F). The shift solenoid current flow should not
exceed 0.75 amps. The shift solenoid should
energize at a voltage of 7.5 volts or more (measured
across the terminals). The shift solenoid should
de-energize when the voltage is one volt or less.

If both solenoids lose power, third gear only results.

Important: The 3 - 2 shift solenoid valve assembly


resistance should be a minimum of 20-24 ohms
at 20C (68F).
The 3 - 2 shift solenoid valve assembly is an
ON/OFF solenoid that is used in order to improve the
3 - 2 downshift. The solenoid regulates the release
of the 3 - 4 clutch and the 2 - 4 band apply.
If a voltage fault is detected in the 3 - 2 shift solenoid
circuit, diagnostic trouble code P0785 will set.

Transmission Pressure Control Solenoid

The 1 - 2 and 2 - 3 shift solenoid valves (also


called A and B solenoids) are identical devices that
control the movement of the 1 - 2 and 2 - 3 shift valves
(the 3 - 4 shift valve is not directly controlled by a
shift solenoid). The solenoids are normally open
exhaust valves that work in four combinations to shift
the transmission into different gears.
The PCM energizes each solenoid by grounding the
solenoid through an internal quad driver. This
sends current through the coil winding in the solenoid
and moves the internal plunger out of the exhaust
position. When ON, the solenoid redirects fluid to move
a shift valve.
Important: The manual valve hydraulically can
override the shift solenoids. Only in 04 do the shift
solenoid states totally determine what gear the
transmission is in. In the other manual valve positions,
the transmission shifts hydraulically and the shift
solenoid states CATCH UP when the throttle position
and the vehicle speed fall into the correct ranges.
Diagnostic trouble codes P0753 and P0758 indicate
shift solenoid circuit voltage faults.

The PCM-controlled shift solenoids eliminate the need


for TV and governor pressures to control shift valve
operation.

325352

Important: Transmission pressure control solenoid


resistance should measure 3-5 ohms when measured
at 20C (68F).
The transmission pressure control solenoid is an
electronic pressure regulator that controls pressure
based on the current flow through its coil winding. The
magnetic field produced by the coil moves the
solenoid's internal valve which varies pressure to the
pressure regulator valve.

7-332

Automatic Transmission - 4L60-E

Transmissionffransaxle

The PCM controls the pressure control solenoid by


commanding current between 0.1 and 1.1 amps. This
changes the duty cycle of the solenoid, which can
range between 5 percent and 95 percent (typically less
than 60 percent). 1.1 amps corresponds to minimum
line pressure, and 0.1 amps corresponds to maximum
line pressure (if the solenoid loses power, the
transmission defaults to maximum line pressure).

Torque Converter Clutch PWM Solenoid Valve

The PCM commands the line pressure values, using


inputs such as the throttle position sensor.
The pressure control solenoid takes the place of the
throttle valve or the vacuum modulator that was
used on the past model transmissions.
If the duty cycle drops below 5 percent or rises above
95 percent, OTC P0748 will set.

Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Valve

Important: TCC PWM solenoid valve resistance


should be 10-11 ohms when measured at 20c
(68F), and 13-15 ohms when measured at
100C (212F).
The torque converter clutch PWM solenoid valve
controls the fluid acting on the converter clutch valve,
which then controls the TCC apply and release.
This solenoid is attached to the control valve body
assembly within the transmission. The TCC PWM
solenoid valve provides smooth engagement of the
torque converter clutch by operating on a negative duty
cycle a variable percent of ON time.
If a fault is detected in the TCC PWM circuit, code
P1860 will set.
8882

Important: The TCC solenoid resistance should be


21-26 ohms minimum when measured at 20C {68F).
If a fault is detected in the TCC solenoid circuit,
'
code PO?40 will set.
The torque converter clutch solenoid valve is a
normally open exhaust valve that is used to control
torque converter clutch apply and release. When
grounded (energized) by the PCM, the TCC solenoid
valve stops converter signal oil from exhausting.
This causes converter signal oil pressure to increase
and shifts the TCC solenoid valve into the apply
position.
The brake switch is an input to the PCM, and the
PCM directly controls the TCC apply based on
the brake switch status.

Automatic Transmission - 4L60-E 7-333

Transmission Fluid Pressure (TFP) Manual


Valve Position Switch

On the automatic transmission (A/T) wiring harness


assembly, pin N is range signal A, pin R is range
signal B, and pin P is range signal C. With the
A/T wiring harness assembly connected and the engine
running, a voltage measurement of these three lines will
indicate a high reading (near 12 volts) when a circuit is
open, and a low reading (zero volts) when the circuit is
switched to ground.
The transmission fluid temperature (TFT) sensor is
part of the TFP manual valve position switch assembly.

Vehicle Speed Sensor

8889

Important: Seven valid combinations and two invalid


combinations are available from the TFP manual valve
position switch. Refer to the TFP Manual Valve Position
Switch Logic table for valid/invalid combinations for
range signal circuits A, B and C.

The transmission fluid pressure (TFP) manual valve


position switch is a set of five pressure switches on the
control valve body that sense whether fluid pressure is
present in five different valve body passages. The
combination of which switches are open and closed is
used by the PCM in order to determine actual manual
valve position. The TFP manual valve position switch,
however, cannot distinguish between PARK and
NEUTRAL because the monitored valve body
pressures are identical in both cases.
The switches are wired to provide three signal lines
that are monitored by the PCM. These inputs are used
to help control line pressure, torque converter clutch
apply and shift solenoid valve operation. Voltage at
each of the signal lines is either zero or twelve volts.
In order to monitor the TFP manual valve position
switch operation, the PCM compares the actual voltage
combination of the switches to a TFP combination table
stored in its memory. If the PCM sees one of two illegal
voltage combinations, a DTC P1810 will result. A
DTC P1810 indicates a short circuit condition in either
the range signal A or the range signal C circuits.
The TFP manual valve position switch signal voltage
can be measured from each pin-to-ground and
compared to the combination table.

62801

Important: The sensor resistance is model dependent


and varies with speed from a minimum of 0.5 volts
AC at 100 RPM to more than 100 volts AC at
8000 RPM.
The vehicle speed sensor (or transmission output
speed sensor) controls shift points and calculates the
TCC slip.
The speed sensor contains a coil that gives off a
continuous magnetic field. A rotor rotates past
the sensor and the rotor teeth break the magnetic
field. Each break in the field sends a pulse to
the VSSB (Vehicle Speed Sensor Buffer). The VSSB
sends two signals to the PCM. The first is a 2002
pulse per mile (PPM) signal that is used by the engine.
The second is the transmission/transfer case 40
pulse per revolution (PPR) signal that is used in order
to control the transmission.
In two wheel drive (2WD) applications, the vehicle
speed sensor is located on the transmission extension
housing. Trans Output Speed = Transfer Case Speed,
DTC P0502 will set if a fault exists in the vehicle
speed sensor circuit 40 PPR line.

7..334

Automatic Transmission - 4L60-E

Automatic Transmission Fluid Temperature


Sensor
The automatic transmission fluid temperature (TFT)
sensor is part of the automatic transmission fluid
pressure (TFP) manual valve position switch assembly.
This sensor helps control torque converter clutch
apply and shift quality.
The TFT sensor is a resistor, or thermistor, which
changes value based on temperature. At low
temperatures the resistance is high, and at high
temperatures the resistance is low.
The PCM sends a 5 volt signal to the TFT sensor and
the PCM measures the voltage drop in the circuit.
You will measure a high voltage when the transmission
is cold and a low voltag.e when the transmission is
hot. Refer to the Temperature vs Resistance table.
If the TFT sensor circuit has a fault, DTC P0712
o.r P0713 is set. A DTC P0712 indicates a short citcuit
condition, while a DTC P0713 indicates an open
circuit condition. DTC P0218 is set if the transmission
is operating at a high temperature for a period
of time.

Electrical Connector

Transmission/Transaxle
The following items can affect the electrical connection:
Bent pins in the connector from rough handling
during connection and disconnection
Wires backing away from the pins or coming
uncrimped(in either the internal or the external
wiring harness)
Dirt contamination entering the connector when
disconnected
Pins in the internal wiring connector backing out
of the connector or pushed out of the connector
during reconnection
Excessive transmission fluid leaking into the
connector, wicking up into the external wiring
harness and degrading the wire insulation
Moisture intrusion in the connector
Low pin retention in the external connector from
excessive connection and disconnection of the
wiring connector assembly
Pin corrosion from contamination
Damaged connector assembly
Remember the following points:
In order to remove the connector, squeeze the
two tabs toward each other and pull straight
up without pulling by the wires.
Limit twisting or wiggling the connector during
removal. Bent pins can occur.
Do not pry the connector off with a screwdriver or
other tool.
Visually inspect the seals to ensure that they are
not damaged during handling.
In order to reinstall the external wiring connector,
first orient the pins by lining up the arrows on
each half of the connector. Push the connector
straight down into the transmission without twisting
or angling the mating parts.
The connector should click into place with a
positive feel and/or noise.
Whenever the transmission external wiring
connector is disconnected from the internal
harness and the engine is operating, DTCs will

Diagnostic Information and Procedures


Preliminary Checking Procedure
1. Before attempting to repair the following
components for any reasons other than an obvious
failure, identify the problem and probable cause:
The clutch
The transmission
Any related hydraulic components
2. Shifting difficulties such as the following conditions
indicate a large percentage of clutch and manual
transmission problems:
When any of these conditions occur, perform a
careful analysis of the difficulty before removing
the clutch or manual transmission for repairs.
A high shift effort
Gear clash
Gear grinding
Transmission blockout
3. Before removing the clutch hydraulic system,
remove the flywheel housing cover and measure
the travel of the clutch actuator pushrod in order to
verify the malfunction (6-Speed Only).
4. Ensure that the clutch actuator pushrod extends a
minimum of 11 mm (0.43 in) against the clutch
fork with the clutch pedal pushed fully to the floor.
Do not replace the hydraulic system if the
pushrod travel exceeds 11 mm (0.43 in).

Notice: Before opening the clutch master cylinder;


thoroughly clean the top and sides. This 1s in order to
prevent contamination of the system with dirt,
water, or other foreign material. Before adding fluid,
remove the clutch master cylinder reservoir diaphragm.
Carefully replace the diaphragm, cover gasket and
cover after filling the clutch master cylinder.

5. If the clutch actuator pushrod does not meet the


travel requirements, check the clutch master
cylinder reservoir fluid level.
Ensure that the clutch actuator cylinder is in
place when checking the fluid level.
When you add fluid to or refill the system after
service operations, the use of hydraulic clutch
fluid GM P/N 12345347 or the equivalent is
preferred over the standard DOT 3 brake fluid.
Do not over fill the reservoir. The upper portion
of the clutch master cylinder must accept fluid
that is displaced from the clutch actuator
cylinder as the clutch wears.
6. If the clutch master cyl1nder reservoir requires any
fluid, check the clutch hydraulic system
components for leakage.
Remove the rubber boots from the clutch
master cylinder.
Check for leakage past the pistons. A sight
wetting of the surfaces is acceptable.
Replace the hydraulic system if excessive
leakage is evident.

Clutch Spin Down Time


1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

Apply the park brake.


Block the vehicle wheels.
Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
Start the engine and allow the engine to idle.
Engage the clutch (release the clutch pedal).
Disengage the clutch (depress the clutch pedal):
maintain the clutch in the disengaged position for

Description and Operation

Principal Components
The following are the principal components of the
clutch system:
The driving members; attached to the engine and
turning with the engine.
The driven member; attached to the engine
driveline and transmission and turning with
the driveline and transmission.
The operating members; including the spring, the
clutch hydraulic system, and the clutch pedal
linkage, required to apply and release the
pressure, which hold the driving and driven
members in contact with each other.

Clutch Driving Members


The clutch driving members consist of two, flat
surfaced, iron plates, machined to a smooth finish. One
of these surfaces is the rear face of the engine flywheel
and the other is a comparatively heavy flat ring, with
one side machined, known as the clutch pressure plate.

Clutch Driven Members


The driven member {friction or clutch disc) consists of
a hub and a plate, with facings attached to the plate.
The clutch disc has cushion springs and dampening
springs. The cushion springs are slightly waved, or
curled. The cushion springs are attached to the plat,
and the clutch facings are attached to the springs.
When the clutch is engaged, the cushion springs
compress slightly to take up the shock of engagement.
The dampening springs are heavy coil springs set in a
circle around the hub. The hub is driven through these
springs. They help to smooth out the torsional vibration
so that the power flow to the transmission is smooth.
There are grooves in both sides of the clutch disc
facings. These grooves prevent the facings from
sticking to the flywheel face and pressure plate when
the clutch is disengaged. The grooves break any
vacuum that might form and cause the facings to stick
to the flywheel ore pressure plate.

Clutch Operating Members


The driving member and the driven member are held
in contact by spring pressure. This pressure is exerted
by a one-piece conical or diaphragm spring.
A diaphragm spring is a conical piece of spring steel
that has been specially stamped to give it greater
flexibility. The diaphragm is positioned between the
cover and the pressure plate so that the diaphragm
spring is nearly flat when the clutch is in the engaged
position. The action of this type of spring is similar to
that of an ordinary oil can.

The pressure of the inner rim of the spring on the


pressure plate decreases as the flat position is passed.
The inner rim of the diaphragm bears on the pressure
plate and is pivoted on a ring on the outer edge of
the pressure plate. The application of a pulling load on
the inner section of the pressure plate will cause the
inner rim to move away from the flywheel and allow the
pressure plate to move away from the clutch disc,
thereby releasing or disengaging the clutch. When
the pressure is released from the inner section, the
OIL CAN action of the diaphragm causes the
inner section to move in, and the movement of the
inner rim forces the pressure plate against the clutch
disc, thus engaging the clutch.
The clutch release bearing is moved by the actuator
assembly to move the release levers which move
the pressure plate to the rear, thus separating
the clutch disc from the flywheel when the clutch
pedal is depressed by the driver. A piston return spring
in the actuator cylinder preloads the clutch linkage
and assures a small load on the release bearing with
the actuator assembly at all times. As the clutch
disc wears, the diaphragm spring fingers move. forward
forcing the release bearing, actuator assembly, and
pushrod to move. This movement forces the actuator
cylinder piston to move forward in its bore, consuming
hydraulic fluid from the master cylinder reservoir,
thereby providing the SELF-ADJUSTING feature of
the hydraulic clutch linkage system.

Hydraulic Clutch Description


The clutch hydraulic system consists of a master
cylinder and an actuator cylinder. When pressure is
applied to the clutch pedal (pedal depressed), the
pushrod contacts the plunger and pushes it down the
bore of the master cylinder. In the first 0.8 mm
(0.031 in) of movement, the recuperation seal closes
the port to the fluid reservoir tank, and as the
plunger continues to move down the bore of the
cylinder, the fluid is forced through the outlet line to
the actuator cylinder. As fluid is pushed down the pipe
from the master cylinder, this in turn forces the
pistons in the actuator cylinder outward. As the
actuator cylinder piston moves forward, it forces the
release bearing to disengage the clutch pressure plate
from the clutch disc. On the return stroke {pedal
released), the plunger moves back as a result of the
return pressure of the clutch. Fluid returns to the
master cylinder and the final movement of the plunger
opens the port to the fluid reservoir, allowing an
unrestricted flow of fluid between system and reservoir.

Diagnostic Information and Procedures

lntermittents and Poor Connections


Diagnosis
For intermittents and poor connections, refer to
lntermittents and Poor Connections Diagnosis

Displaying DTCs
Use a scan tool (Tech 2) (refer to the scan tool user's
manual for menu navigation instructions) for reading
class 2 Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) regarding
the Electronic Brake!Traction Control Module
(EBTCM), Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC), Powertrain
Control Module (PCM), and Inflatable Restraint
Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM). The BCM
flashes DTCs, and is not part of the class 2 data line.
Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (OTC) Displaying
regarding BCM DTCs.

Clearing DTCs

Use one of these two methods for clearing class 2


Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) in the module
memory:
The scan tool (Tech 2) method.
The ignition cycle default method.
These methods will not clear DTCs:
Unplugging the modules electrical connectors.
Disconnecting the battery cables.
Turning the ignition switch off (except on an
ignition cycle default).
Important:

Check for proper module operation and the


absence of DTCs after completing the clearing
procedure.
When diagnostics and repairs are completed,
refer to the appropriate sections system check for
more information on related DTCs.
The BCM is not part of the class 2 serial data line and
flashes DTC codes. Refer to Clearing DTCs for
clearing BCM DTCs.

Scan Tool Method


Refer to the scan tool (Tech 2) user's manual for
menu navigation instructions.

Ignition Cycle Default


The modules clear a Diagnostic Trouble Code (OTC)
automatically when the malfunction that set such
OTC does not occur for 100 ignition cycles.

Scan Tool Diagnostics


Data Display
Use a scan tool (Tech 2) to read the status of inputs
and outputs for the class 2 serial data line (the BCM is
not part of the class 2 line). Use this information to
check that the module is sending and receiving
the proper data. Each module uses data received from
other vehicle systems in order to carry out some
functions. Therefore, if a module receives the incorrect
data from another vehicle system, the module may
function improperly. Use the scan tool in order
to review the data coming from its inputs and vehicle
systems that interact with that module.

Cycle Outputs
Use a scan tool to cycle outputs. Refer to the scan
tool user's manual for menu navigation instructions.
Use this feature to determine if the module is able
to activate an output, regardless of inputs. Use a scan
tool to select an output and command the module
to activate the output. The scan tool then displays the
status of the selected output. The status information
represents only what the module has commanded, not
what action was actually taken. Check if the module
is performing each of the selected output functions.
Each module uses information from other vehicle
systems, such as the Powertrain Co.ntrol Module
(PCM), in order to perform some of its functions.
Before starting diagnosis, read the circuit information
for each module and learn how each module
operates and interacts with other vehicle systems.
Understanding how the system operates will reduce
diagnostic time, avoid misdiagnosis, and prevent
unnecessary parts replacement.
Use a scan tool {Tech 2) to diagnose the module
when specified in the diagnostic tables. A scan tool
displays Diagnostic Trouble Codes (OTCs), the status
of inputs and outputs, and commands outputs on
and off.
Become very familiar with the capabilities and
diagnostic features. These self-diagnostic features are
referenced in the diagnostic tables, and are very
useful in diagnosing non-OTC setting malfunctions
as well.
Replace the module only when a diagnostic table
specifically direct you to do so. Inputs and outputs are
protected against shorts to battery or ground.
Therefore, do NOT replace the module after repairing
a short in the wiring. After repairing the wiring,
perform the diagnostic system check to verify the
repair. Most malfunctions related to a vehicle system,
such as the IP, are traceable to faulty wiring,
connectors and terminals, and occasionally some
other component.
Each module is very reliable and it is not likely the
cause of the malfunction. Replacing the module before
a complete diagnosis will usually result in a recurrence
of the original malfunction.

Data Link Communications

Body and Accessories

Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)


Each class 2 module stores DTCs as current or
history DTCs. If the module detects a malfunction, it
stores a DTC that corresponds to that particular
malfunction. If the module stores a current DTC and
the malfunction is no longer present, some DTCs
will remain current until the next ignition cycle.

Other DTCs change from current to history without


requiring a new ignition cycle when the fault is
no longer present. History DTCs are intermittent
malfunctions and must be diagnosed differently than
current DTCs. Refer to lntermittents and Poor
Connections Diagnosis for more information.

OTC U1000 Loss of Class 2 Serial Data Fault

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. 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
about five seconds of beginning serial data
communication, OTC U1000 is set. When more than
one critical parameter does not have an identification
number associated with it, the OTC will only be
reported once.

Conditions for Running the OTC


Voltage supplied to the module is in the
normal operating voltage range
(approximately 9 - 16 volts).
Diagnostic trouble codes U1300 and U1301 do
not have a current status.
The vehicle power mode (ignition switch position)
requires serial data communication to occur.

Conditions for Setting the OTC


At least one critical operating parameter has not been
associated with an identification number within
about five seconds after beginning serial data
communication.

Action Taken When the OTC Sets


The module uses a default value for the missing
parameter.

Conditions for Clearing the OTC


A current U1000 will clear when all critical
operating parameters for the module have been
associated with an identification number or at
the end of the current ignition cycle.
A history U1000 will clear upon receipt of a scan
tool Clear OTCs command.

Diagnostic Aids
When a malfunction (such as a blown fuse to a
module) occurs while modules are communicating, a
Lost Communication OTC is set current. When
the modules stop communicating (ignition is turned off)
the current Lost Communication OTC is cleared but
the history OTC remains. When the modules begin to
communicate again, the module with the blown
fuse will not be learned by the other modules so
U1000 is set current by the other modules. If
the malfunction occurs when the modules are not
communicating, only U1000 is set.

Test Description
1. A Lost Communication with 1XXX OTC with a
history status may indicate the cause of U1000.
2. The module(s) which is not communicating is the
likely cause of U 1000 being set.
7. The module which was not communicating due to
a poor connection to the class 2 serial data
circuit may have set Lost Communication with
1XXX OTCs for those modules that it was
monitoring.
9. The modules which can communicate indicate the
module which cannot communicate. You must
clear the OTC from these modules to avoid future
misdiagnosis.
11. If all modules are communicating, the module
which set U1000 may have done so due to some
other condition.
12. The module which set U 1000 is the likely cause of
the malfunction.

received on the class 2 serial data circuit.

Conditions for Clearing the OTC


A U1301 will clear when a valid class 2 message
is detected on the class 2 serial data circuit or at
the end of the current ignition cycle.
A history U1301 will clear upon receipt of a, scan
tool Clear DTCs command.

Diagnostic Aids
This OTC cannot be retrieved with a current
status. Diagnosis of an U1301 is accomplished via
the symptom, Scan Tool Does Not Communicate
with a Class 2 Device.
An intermittent condition is likely to be caused by
a short to voltage on the class 2 serial data
circuit. Refer to lntermittents and Poor
Connections Diagnosis. to isolate an intermittent
condition.

Scan Tool Inoperative


Circuit Description

Test Description

The data link connector {DLC) provides operating


power for the scan tool at terminal 16 {battery positive
voltage) and at terminal 4 (ground). The DLC
provides the class 2 serial data signal at terminal 2
and signal ground at terminal 5. The scan tool
will power up with the ignition off.

1. The CIG ACCY fuse supplies power to the DLC


terminal 16.

4. The DLC battery positive voltage and ground


circuits are functioning properly. The malfunction
must be due to the scan tool.

Scan Tool Does Not Communicate w/Class 2 Data Line


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.
Connecting a scan tool to the DLC allows
communication with the modules for diagnostic
purposes.
The diagnostic procedure assumes that all modules
are powered. When you are uncertain whether
this condition is met, perform the Diagnostic System
Check for the module in question. Diagnostic
trouble codes (DTCs) may be set due to this symptom
and during this diagnostic procedure. Complete the
diagnostic procedure in order to ensure all the
DTCs are diagnosed and cleared from memory.

Diagnostic Aids
Use a J35616-A when probing or checking
electrical connector terminals. The J35616-A
prevents terminal damage, plus checks for proper
terminal contact tension.
If a short to B+ is present a history U1301 will set
in the modules. Refer to DTC U1301 Class 2
Short to Battery.
If a short to ground is present a history U1300 will
set in the modules. Refer to DTC U1300 Class 2
Short to Ground.
If the malfunction is intermittent refer to
lntermittents and Poor Connections Diagnosis.
Disconnecting modules and turning the ignition
switch to RUN may cause DTCs in these
modules. Check for DTCs in each module upon
completion of the required repair.
Make sure the theft deterrent system has not
caused a class 2 no communication malfunction.
Refer to Vehicle Theft Deterrent (VTD) System
Check.

Test Description

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.
3. DTCs U1300 and/or U1301 may be retrieved with
a history status. These DTCs are not the cause
of the present condition.
4. A state of health OTC with a history status may
be present along with a U1000 having a current
status. This indicates the malfunction occured
when the ignition was on.
5. Data link connector terminals 2 and 5 provide the
connection to the class 2 serial data circuit and
the signal ground circuit respectively.
7. A poor connection at terminal G would cause this
condition but will not set a OTC.
8. An open in the class 2 serial data circuit between
the DLC and star connector will prevent the scan
tool from communicating with any module.
This condition will not set a OTC.
9. 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 wiring for a short,
make sure there is not a module connected to the
wire being tested. This te$t isolates the PCM
class 2 serial data circuit.
11. This test isolates the SOM class 2 serial data
circuit.

13. This test isolates the EBTCM class 2 serial data


circuit.
15. This test isolates the instrument cluster class 2
serial data circuit.
19. If there are no current OTCs that begin with a U,
the communication malfunction has been
repaired.
20. The communication malfunction may have
prevented diagnosis of the customer complaint.

Headlamp Aiming (Screen Method)
Aiming By Screen Method

To correct the horizontal aim use the adjusting


screw located on the outer side of the headlamps.
To correct the vertical aim by use the adjusting
screw located in the top center of the headlamps.
Use a specific aiming area in a darkened location.
Ensure that the aiming area meets the followings:
- The area used must accommodate the
vehicle with a space of 7.6 m (25 ft) left over.
- Measure the additional 7.6 m (25 ft) from the
face of the headlamps to the front of the
screen.
- The floor that the vehicle rests on is level
with the bottom of the screen.
- If the floor is not level, then compensate for
the unlevel floor.
Ensure that the aiming screen meets the following:
- The screen (2) is 1.5 m (5 ft) high and
3.6 m (12 ft) wide.
- The surface of the screen (2) is a
matte white.
- The screen (2) is well shaded from
outside light.
- The screen (2) is correctly adjusted to the
floor on which the vehicle stands.
- The following items are present:
A vertical center line (2)
A horizontal center line (4) for the center
line of the lamps
A horizontally adjustable
horizontal tape (3)
2 laterally adjustable vertical tapes (9)

294749

Important: Adjust the horizontal lines or tape (3) on


the screen (2) for each vehicle that you inspect.
Vehicles of the same model and year may have
different standing height for the headlamps.
Make provisions for moving the aiming screen in
order to align the aiming screen parallel with the
rear axle of the vehicle.
- This will allow for a horizontal line (4) drawn
to pass through the center point between
the two headlamp capsules.
- The horizontal line (4) will be drawn
perpendicular from the center line of the
screen (2).
Once you set up the screen (2) in a permanent
location, paint a reference line (7) on the floor.
The reference line (7) will identify the proper
location of the headlamps when the headlamps
are being aimed.

Lighting Systems 8-155

Body and Accessories


If a regular commercial aiming screen is not
available, the screen may consist of the
following items:
A vertical wall that has a clear, uninterrupted area.
Ensure that the area is 1.8 m (6 ft) high and
3.6 m (12 ft) wide
Ensure that the area is finished with a washable,
nongloss white paint.

Vehicle Preparation
Prepare the vehicle for inspecting the headlamp
beam aim.
1. Perform the following to ensure an accurate
headlamp aim.
1.1. Completely assemble all of the components
on the vehicle.
1.2. Ensure that the fuel load is Y2 tank or less.
1.3. Ensure that the only other load in the
vehicle is the driver.
1.4. Mark the center of the front and rear
windows with narrow tape.
Use these sights to locate the center of the
vehicle.
1.5. Do this by moving the vehicle or the screen
until the center line (2) of the screen comes
into alignment with the two points.
1.6. Close the doors.
1.7. Rock the vehicle sideways in order to
stabilize the suspension.
2. Position the vehicle so that the vehicle is square
with the aiming screen.
3. Position the headlamps directly over the reference

4. Locate the vertical line (4) on the aiming screen
so that the vertical lines meets the following
criteria:
The vertical line is aligned with the center of
the rear window.
The vertical line is over the hood.

Domestic Low Beam


Check the following for the low beam headlamps.
1. With the low beams on, observe the beam's high
intensity zone on the screen.
2. To adjust the headlamp aim perform the following:
For the horizontal aim the left edge of the high
intensity zone should be on the vertical
axis (1), or within +102 mm (+4.0 in) (3), or (4)
-102 mm (-4.0 in) of the vertical axis (1).

Lighting Systems 8-201


Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) Ambient Light
Sensor
The DRL ambient light sensor is a light sensitive
variable resistor. The DRL ambient light sensor's
resistance decreases as the outside light intensity
increases. The DRL module performs the following
functions:
Measures the voltage drop across the DRL
ambient light sensor.
Determines whether the DRL ambient light sensor
should operate in the day mode or the low
light mode.

Park Brake Input


The DRL module will not operate any headlamps or
exterior lamps if the park brake is applied before
the ignition switch is turned to the RUN position. This
allows the driver to start the vehicle and keep the
headlamps OFF, as long as the park brake is applied.
The DRL module activates the headlamps when
the park brake is released with the ignition switch in
the RUN position. This feature functions only when the
park brake is applied before the ignition switch is
turned to the RUN position. The headlamps will not
turn OFF, if the park brake is applied after the ignition
switch is turned to the RUN position.

DRL Circuit Description


(Pontiac Domestic)
The Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) module is
designed to automatically operate the exterior lights
depending on the outside light conditions. The ambient
light sensor is replaced by a jumper.
The DRL module operates when the following occurs:
The ignition switch is in the RUN position.
The headlamps are OFF.
The park brake is OFF.
The DRL module applies voltage to the front turn
signal bulbs. Whenever the left or the right turn input
is received at the DRL modvle, the front turn signal
bulbs operate normally. When the park lamps or
the head lights are on, the DRL removes voltage from
the front turn bulbs.

Fog Lights Circuit Description


Domestic
With the Headlamp Swith in the HEAD or PARK
position, voltage is applied to one side of the Fog
Lamp Switch. When the Fog Lamp Switch is closed,
voltage is applied to one side.of the Fog Lamp
.
Relay Coil, energizing the relay (the other side of the
coil is grounded through the HI Beam Filament of
the Headlamps).
When energized, the normally open contacts of the
Fog Lamp Relay close, allowing voltage to be applied
to the Fog Lamps.
When the HI Beams are activated, ground is removed
to one side of the Fog Lamp Relay Coil, de-energizing
the relay and turning off the Fog Lamps.

8-202

Lighting Systems

Europe
With the headlamp switch in the HEAD position
voltage is applied to the fog lamp relay circuit 1O.
When the foglamp switch is turn on a ground is
inputted to the BCM through circuit 187. When the
BCM recieves this ground from circuit 187, it then .
sends an output ground signal to the fog lamp relay
through circuit 1977. At this point the relay in the
fog lamp relay is energized closing the internal switch.
Voltage is supplied through circuit 9, the fog lamp
relay and then circuit 122 to both fog lamps. The fog
lamps turn on when a ground voltage is applied
through circuit 122 and ground is provided through
circuit 1250.

Headlight Doors Circuit Description


When the headlamp switch is turned to the HEAD
position, battery voltage is applied to the headlamp
opening door actuator control module through
circuit. 10. The LH head lamp door opens when battery
voltage is applied to the LH headlamp opening door
assembly through circuit 576 and ground is applied to
circuit 577. The RH headlamp door opens when
battery voltage is applied to the RH headlamp opening
door assembly through circuit 578 and ground is
applied to circuit 579. When the headlamp switch is
moved to the OFF position battery voltage is no longer
applied to the headlamp opening door actuator
module through circuit 10. The LH headlamp door
closes when battery voltage is applied to the LH
headlamp opening door assembly through circuit 577
and ground is applied to circuit 576. The RH
headlamp door closes when battery voltage is applied
to the RH headlamp opening door assembly through
circuit 579 and ground is applied to circuit 578. Battery
voltage is constantly applied to the headlamp
opening door actuator control module from the LH
HDLP DOOR MiniFuse (circuit 840) and from the RH
HDLP DOOR, MiniFuse (circuit 740). The headlamp
opening door actuator control module is grounded
by circuit.150 to G106.

Headlight Leveling Circuit Description


Voltage is supplied to the headlamp leveling switch
with the headlamp switch in the HEAD position.
Circuit 150/250 provides ground under the same
conditions.
The headlamp leveling switch provides 4 headlamp
leveling positions. When a position is selected a
different resistance value is provided to the headlamp
leveling actuators. The actuators have a motor
logic internally driving a motor to move the headlamps
based on the resistance it receives. Ground is
provided through circuit 150 (LH) and 250 (RH) to the
actuators. Power is also supplied to the actuators
through circuit 1O when the headlamp switch is in the
HEAD position.
The driver controls both headlamp beams with the
headlamp leveling actuators which are mount
under the headlamp assembly. This feature is
especially useful when the vehicle carries load
changes drastically because the use of a switch helps
maintain a focused and level headlamp beam.

Body and Accessories


Exterior Lights Circuit Description
Daytime Running Lamps
The Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) module is
design~d to automatically operate the exterior lights,
depending on the outside light conditions. The
DRL control module operates in 2 modes:
The day mode allows the two front turn signal
lamps to be on and non-flashing.
The night mode allows the following components
to be on:
- Low beam headlamps
- Front side marker
- Park/turn lamps
- Tail lamps
The DRL module operates in the night mode when the
DRL ambient light sensor senses darkness. When
this happens, the night mode contacts close and
voltage is applied to the headlamps and other exterior
lights through the same circuit path as when the
headlamp switch is in the HEAD position.
The DRL module turns off the headlamps when the
engine stalls with the DRL in the night mode. The side
marker, park/turn and tail lamps are on while the
engine is being cranked. The headlamp switch
operates as usual.

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) Ambient Light


Sensor Input
The DRL ambient light sensor is a light sensitive
variable resistor. The DRL ambient light sensor
?ecreases in resistance as outside light intensity
increases. The DRL module measures the voltage
drop across the DRL ambient light sensor. The DRL
module then determines whether the day mode or
the night mode should be in operation.

Park Brake Input


The DRL module will not operate any headlamps or
exterior lamps if .the park brake is applied before
the ignition switch is turned to RUN. This allows the
operator to start the vehicle and keep the headlamps
off as long as the park brake is applied. The DRL
module will activate the headlamps when the
park brake is released with the ignition switch in RUN.
The park brake input feature will only function when
the park brake is applied before the ignition switch
is turned to RUN. The headlamps will not turn off if the
park brake is applied after the ignition switch is
turned to RUN.

Front Park/Turn and Front Side Marker


Whenever the park lamps are on, voltage is applied
fro!TI the TAIL LPS fuse through the headlamp
switch through circuit 9 to both the front side marker
lamps and the front park/turn lamps.

Body and Accessories

Rear Park/Turn, Rear Side Marker, Tail and


License Plate Lamps
Voltage is applied at all times from the TAIL LPS fuse
to the headlamp switch and the Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL} module through circuit 240. Voltage is
applied to circuit 9 when the headlamp switch is in the
PARK or the HEAD position. Voltage then flows to
all rear park/turn, rear side marker, tail and license
plate lamps, turning then on.

Turn Signal Lamps


Voltage is applied from the TURN 8/U fuse to the
normally closed pole of the hazard switch in the turn
signal switch when the ignition is in the RUN position.
The voltage then flows through circuit 141, which
feeds the turn signal lamp flasher. With the turn signal
switch in the turn left position, voltage is applied
through 2 circuits. Voltage flows through the turn signal
switch circuit 1414 at terminal H of harness
connector C216 and circuit 18 at terminal M of C216.
For circuit 1414, voltage flows through circuit 1414
to the instrument cluster for the left turn indicator, and
to the daytime running lamps module. Voltage then
flows through circuit 14 to the left front turn
signal lamp.
For circuit 18, voltage flows through circuit 18 to the
left rear turn signal lamp. Current flow heats the timing
element in the hazard lamp/turn signal flasher. The
timing element continuously opens and closes
the circuit for the right turn signal lamps, circuit 1415
terminal J of C216 and circuit 19 terminal N of C216.

Tail/StoplTurn Lamps
Voltage is applied when the ignition is in the RUN
position through the TURN B/U Fuse in the fuse block,
to the turn signal lamp flasher through circuit 141.
Then voltage is applied from the flasher to the
turn/hazard switch through circuit 16. When the turn
signal switch is placed in the TURN LEFT position,
voltage is applied through the closed contacts of the
turn signal switch, to the LH tail/stop/turn lamp through
circuit 18. The LH tail/stop/turri lamp is grounded
through circuit 1250. When the tum signal switch is
placed in the TURN RIGHT position, voltage is applied
through the closed contacts of the turn signal switch,
to the RH tail/stop/turn lamp through circuit 19. The RH
tail/stop/turn lamp is grounded through circuit 1250.

Hazard Lamps
Voltage is applied at all times from the STOP/HAZARD
fuse to the hazard lamp flasher through circuit 140.
The current flow heats the timing element in the hazard
lamp flasher. The voltage continuously opens and
closes circuit 27 to the turn/hazard switch and then to
all the turn signal lamps and both of the turn telltale
lamps. All of the turn signal lamps and both of the turn
telltale lamps flash on and off.

Lighting Systems

8-203

Stop Lamps
Voltage is applied at all times from the STOP/HAZARD
fuse to the stop lamp switch through circuit 140.
Voltage is applied from the stop lamp switch to the
turn/hazard switch through circuit 20 when the
brake pedal is depressed. The voltage turns on the
left and the right tail/stop/turn signal lamps and
the center high mounted stop lamp.

Backup Lights Circuit Description


Backup Lights
With the ignition switch in the RUN position, voltage is
applied through the TURN B/U Fuse 2 to the backup
lamp switch (manual transmission) or the transmission
range switch (automatic transmission) through
circuit 141. When either transmission is shifted into
reverse, voltage is applied through circuit 24 to
the backup lamps turning them on provided they have
ground circuit 1250.

Interior Lights Circuit Description

Body and Accessories

Lighting Systems

1/P Compartment Lamp


Ground is applied from G200 through circuit 650 to
the 1/P compartment lamp. When the 1/P compartment
door is opened, voltage is applied by the BCM
through circuit 149 to the 1/P compartment lamp.
Delayed Illumination
The BCM keeps the interior lights on for approximately
25 second after the doors and rear compartment are
closed. The BCM gradually decreases the voltage
on circuit 149 until the lamps are off. The lamps
immediately go out under either of the following
conditions:
The ignition switch is turned to the run or start
position
The vehicle doors are locked
Exit Lighting
The BCM illuminates the courtesy lamps for
approximately five seconds after the ignition key is
remove from the ignition switch. The lamps
immediately go out under either of the following
conditions:
The ignition key is reinserted into the ignition
switch
. The vehicle doors are locked
Illuminated Entry
When the remote control door lock transmitter is used
to access the vehicle, the BCM applies voltage
through circuit 149 to the interior lights. The lights
remain illuminated for approximately 40 seconds or
until the ignition is turned to the start position.
Inadvertent Power Control
The BCM turns off lamps that are left on to conserve
battery power. The BCM removes voltage from
circuit 149 and all lamps are turned off 10 minutes
after the ignition switch is turned to the off position.
After the 1O minute period, the BCM turns the lamps
back on under any of the following conditions:
Either door is opened
The rear compartment is opened
The 1/P compartment is opened
Eith~r of the courtesy/reading lamp switches are
turned on.

following:
The incandescent illumination lamps of the
instrument cluster
The vacuum fluorescent (VF) displays of the radio

Incandescent Dimming
When the headlamp switch is in the PARK or HEAD
position or in a low light condition with DRL active,
voltage is applied through circuit 9 to the 1/P dimmer
switch. Voltage from the 1/P dimmer switch is
applied through circuit 44, the 1/P dimmer fuse and
circuit 8 to the incandescent lamps. Turning the
1/P dimmer switch changes the voltage on circuit 8.
The changing voltage varies the intensity of the lamps.
Vacuum Fluorescent Dimming
When the headlamp switch is in the PARK or HEAD
position or in a low light condition with DRL active,
voltage is applied through circuit 9 to the 1/P dimmer
switch. Voltage from the 1/P dimmer switch is
applied through circuit 44, the 1/P dimmer fuse and
circuit 8 to the radio VF display. The radio VF display
dims for night viewing. Turning the 1/P dimmer
switch changes the voltage on circuit 8. The changing
voltage varies the intensity of the radio VF display.

Wiper Chatter Repair


Some vehicles may exhibit a condition where the
windshield wipers chatter and/or wipe unevenly.
Several items may contribute to this condition. To
completely repair this condition, ALL of the items listed
should be tested and repaired as necessary.
Clean the windshield glass.
Clean the wiper blade elements
Perform the wiper arm pressure test
Inspect the wiper blade element set

Windshield Glass Cleaning


Clean the windshield with windshield cleaner,
GM PN 1050011 or equivalent. The cleaner should not
harm the paint finish or scratch the glass. The glass
is clean when the water no longer beads, but
sheets across the entire glass surface.

Blade Element Cleaning


Lift each blade assembly off of the windshield and
clean the element with a cloth saturated with full
strength washer solvent. Then rinse the blade
assemblies with water.

Description and Operation


Windshield Wipers/Washer System
Description
The windshield wiper/washer system consists of a
permanent-magnet, depressed-pa'rk, wiper motor
assembly, wiper linkage assemblies, wiper arm and
blade assemblies, a washer pump mounted on a
washer solvent container, and a wiper/washer switch
assembly.

Body and Accessories


Pulse and timing functions, along with the demand
wash function, are controlled by a printed circuit board
in the wiper motor cover assembly. The wiper motor
also is equipped with RFI (radio frequency
interference) suppression.
Depressed-park positioning is accomplished by an
external drive mechanism on the wiper motor
assembly.

Wiper/Washer System Operation


In addition to the features of a conventional
(non-pulse) wiper system (mist, low and high speeds),
the pulse-type windshield wiper/washer system
includes an operating mode in which the wipers make
single sweeps with an adjustable time interval
between sweeps. The time interval is controlled by a
solid-state timer in the wiper motor assembly. The
duration of the delay interval is determined by
the delay resistor in the wiper/washer switch assembly.
When the wiper switch is turned off, the wiper motor
returns the wipers to the end of the sweep (innerwipe)
position and then reverses, activating its external
depressed-park mechanism to lower the wipers to the
park position.

Pulse Operation
With the wiper switch in DELAY (pulse), battery
voltage is applied to the wiper motor at terminal B
through CKT 143. Voltage also is applied to terminal D
through CKT 113 and terminal E through CKT 112.
The length of delay time between sweeps is controlled
by the variable-pulse delay resistor. The delay is
adjustable from 1-22 seconds.

Wipers/Washer Systems 8-237


When the washer switch is held in the ON position,
the wiper motor circuitry keeps the washer pump
on only as long as the washer switch is held ON.
If the wipers had been in DELAY, LO, or HI,
they would return to that operation after the wash
cycle. If in OFF, they then return to the park position
after 2-4 wipes.

Mist Operation
When the wiper switch is moved to MIST and released,
the wipers make one sweep at low speed and
return to the park position. If the wiper switch is held
in MIST, the wipers continue to operate until the switch
is released. The circuit operation is the same as
that of LO.

Special Tools and Equipment


Tool Number/ Description

Illustration

Wiper Arm Puller

532070

Low-Speed Operation
In the LO position of the wiper switch, battery
voltage is applied to the wiper motor connector at
terminal B through CKT 143, terminal E through
CKT 112, and terminal D through CKT 113.
High-Speed Operation
In the HI position of the wiper switch, battery voltage
is applied at terminal B, C, and E of the wiper
motor assembly through CKTs 143, 92, and 112.
Voltage also is applied at terminal D through CKT 113.
Park Position Operation
When turned OFF from any position, the wipers
complete the last sweep and park. When the wiper
switch is in OFF, the wiper motor assembly has battery
voltage applied to terminal B only, from CKT 143.
When the end-of-sweep switch opens, the control
circuit reverses the wiper motor which activates the
external depressed-park mechanism. The wiper motor
continues to run until the park switch opens.

Washer Operation
When the washer switch is turned ON, battery voltage
is applied to terminal D of the wiper motor assembly
through CKT 113. The washer switch also applies
voltage to terminal A which turns on the washer pump
through CKTs 94 and 228. The wiper motor has
voltage applied through the low-speed relay and
operates at low speed for 2-4 wipes after the washer
switch is released.

Speaker Noise - General

Use And Construction Of A Noise Sniffer


The noise sniffer can be used with the vehicle radio in
order to locate hot spots generating radio noise
interference. Hot spots can be found in the following
locations:
The harness
The upper part of the dash
Between the hood and the windshield
Making The Sniffer

5. Search for the noise (1 ).


Keep fingers off the 2 inch probe. For best results
place the sniffer (3) parallel to the wire (2).

Speakers General Diagnosis


Tools Required
J 39916 CD and Cassette Diagnostic Audio Kit

1. Make the sniffer from an old piece of antenna


lead-in from a mast or a power antenna
2. Remove the antenna base connector from the
antenna lead-in (4)
3. Cut away 2 inches of the coax shield (3).
The 2 inch section with the braided shield stripped
back becomes the antenna when plugged into
the radio antenna socket.
To Use The Noise Sniffer:

1. Listen to the complaint noise.


2. Disconnect the antenna ..
3. Plug the antenna into the antenna socket in order
to probe and search out hot spots.
4. Turn the radio volume up.

Important: Always compare the front speakers to the


front, and the rear speakers to the rear. Do not
compare the front speaker to the rear speaker for the
following reasons:
The front speaker and the rear speaker may be
different speakers.
The speakers mounting environment could cause
them to sound different.

Tones are used to test and evaluate coaxial speakers


or other complex speaker systems. The following
basic tones are used:
50 Hz tone
500 Hz warble tone
9 kHz spectral tone
The combination tone is a blend of the above
three tones.

Bass/Sub-Woofer Test (50 Hz Sine Tone)


The 50 Hz tone is used to evaluate the bass response
of an audio system. This tone is helpful in evaluating
audio systems which have separate subwoofer
amplifiers and speakers.

s..-272

Entertainment

Midrange Speaker Test (500 Hz Warble Tone)


The 500 Hz warble tone is used for the evaluation
of midrange speaker response. This tone is qualified
as a warble tone because it has different audio
characteristics than a sine tone. The warble tone
produces a warble sound. It is best to use a warble
tone than a sine wave at these tone midrange
frequencies, because the location of a warble tone
source (such as a speaker} is easier to identify.
A normal sine tone can set up a standing wave within
a vehicle which can make it difficult to determine
its source location.

Tweeter Test (9 kHz Spectral Tone)


The 9 kHz spectral tone is used for tweeter or high
frequency evaluation. This tone is a section of
frequencies of equal amplitudes, ranging from
8.5-9.5 kHz. The 9 kHz spectral tone sounds similar
to a group of crickets chirping.
The 9 kHz spectral tone is used for the following
reasons:
It is easy to locate the source of the 9 kHz
spectral tone. The tone sounds much like
a warble tone.
The 9 kHz spectral tone is easy to identify,
especially for people with high-end, hearing
loss problems.

All Speaker Test


The combination tone can be used in order to
diagnose numerous audio conditions, such as the
following conditions:
Distortion from the speakers
No sound emitting
You can use the combination tone in order to make
comparative AC voltage measurements on the speaker
terminals. Before you make these measurements,
ensure that the fade and balance controls are in the
detent position. A determination can be made in
the diagnosis of the speaker or the amplifier.

Body and Accessories


Speaker/Grill Rattle Test
(50 Hz to 8 kHz Swept Sine)
The next portion of the tape can be used in order to
diagnose rattle noises in the speaker and the grill.
This portion of the tape has 2 tests:
Two tones played back to back.
Variable frequency tone.
Frequency change is at a much slower rate than
the two tones played back to back test.
Both tests can be used in order to repair a speaker
rattle or a buzz sound.
If you have already identified the specific problem
area, you may complete the following actions:
Set the fade and balance controls to the correct
location.
Play the test tones in the problem area.

Motor Speed Test


There is a 2 minute time period marked in this portion
of diagnostic tape for the purpose of evalating the
cassette tape motor speed. This portion of the
diagnostic tape can be used to verify complaints of
abnormal sound from the cassette tape player.
Improper tape motor speed can cause audio
abnormalities, in some cases. If it takes
116 - 120 seconds in order to plat this portion of the
tape, the tape motor speed is acceptable.

Nose Diagnosis (Dead Space)


This portion of diagnostic tape can be used for noise
diagnosis, such as alternator whine, switch pops,
etc. These conditions can be easily detected during
the dead space (the blank space in between
subsequent songs}. This portion of the diagnostic tape
may be used in conjunction with Speaker Noise General.

through the tape door.
Use one of the following items in order to clean the
head and the capstan:
A cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol
A cassette cleaning kit
Follow the instructions with the kit to clean the
tape player.
Do not contact the tape head with magnetized tools. If
the head becomes magnetized, it will degrade
every cassette tape played in the tape player.
The tape deck has an added function that helps
prevent damage if the cassette tape breaks or
becomes jammed. The tape deck may eject the
scrubbing-type, cleaning cartridge after about
5 seconds. Therefore, insert the scrubbing-type
cleaner at least 3 times in order to clean the deck
thoroughly.

Clean the following components of the tape player


after every 50 hours of cassette operation:

A non-scrubbing, wet type tape cleaner can be used


in place of the scrubbing type. The non-scrubbing, wet
type uses a fabric belt in place of the tape and will
not eject after 5 seconds. However, the non-scrubbing,
wet type tape cleaner may not provide a thorough
cleaning, such as the scrubbing type cleaner.
No service is provided on tape cassettes. The cassette
manufacturer handles the warranties of the cassettes.
The test cassette used by the dealer should be
stored in its container in order to remain clean. Store
the cassettes away from extreme heat and direct

ETR AM/FM Stereo/Cassette with Theftlock

The following actions occur when a factory-equipped


audio system with an FM stereo radio receives an
FM stereo broadcast:
The radio switches to stereo operation.
An indicator on the radio illuminates.
Stereo operation means that the radio is separating
the stereo broadcast back into the two original
channels. The two channels are the LEFT channel
and the RIGHT channel. Stereo sound is more realistic
than non-stereo sound.
FM is normally static-free, but any of the following
factors may limit reception:
Terrain
Atmospheric conditions
Station strength
Distance from the transmitter
Buildings or other obstructions may cause the following
conditions:
Momentary static
Flutter
Station swapping
If reception is poor, turning to a different station that is
stronger will bring improvement.

AMAX Stereo Certification

All optional radios are AMAX certified. AMAX certified


receivers can reproduce the fidelity sound that is
transmitted by all AM stations but not received on all
AM radios.
AMAX certification includes some of the following
improvements:
High fidelity

~~~~~~~~

Adjustable receiver bandwidth:


- Wide bandwidth for high fidelity

C)ffi

- Narrow bandwidth for cutting out interference


Noise cancellation
Full stereo sound
Reception of more frequencies
External antenna capability
The range of most AM stations is greater than FM,
especially at night. The longer range can cause
stations to interfere with each other. AM is also subject
to noise pickup from storms or power lines. AMAX
certification reduces many of these types of conditions.

ignition is off. With the ignition switch in ACCY, RUN
or Retained Accessory Power (RAP), voltage is applied
to circuit 43 from the RADIO Fuse 17 to enable
radio operation.
When the park lights or headlights are turned on,
voltage is applied to the radio on circuit 9 from
the headlamp switch. When voltage is applied to
circuit 9 at the radio, the radio will illuminate the
display. With the headlights or park lights on, the radio
display may be dimmed manually using the IP
dimmer switch. The IP dimmer switch varies the

Steering Wheel Controls System


Circuit Description
Steering Wheel Radio Control Switches
The steering wheel control switches control the
following radio features:
Radio power
The volume
The station frequency
Voltage is supplied to the RH steering wheel controls
through the STG WHL CNTRL Fuse 3, circuit 243,
the SIR coil assembly when the ignition switch
is in ACCY, RUN or the RAP mode is active. The
switches are a ladder network consisting of the
switches and a series of resistors. The ladder network
allows each switch to have a different resistance.
The different resistances allow a different voltage
output to the radio for each switch pressed.
Voltage is supplied to both steering wheel controls
through the STG WHL CNTRL Fuse 13, circuit 1458,
through the SIR coil assembly. Ground is supplied
to both steering wheel controls from G200, circuit 650
through the SIR coil assembly. The steering wheel
control (SWC) switches use incandescent backlighting.
The illumination signal circuit 1458 is a pulse width
modulated (PWM) signal from the headlight switch.
The bulbs are serviceable.

SIR Coil Assembly


The SIR Coil Assembly contains 6 wires, four of which
are used by the SWC. The SWC allows voltage to
be sent from the steering wheel switches to the radio
while the steering wheel is being turned.

Power Antenna System Description


The rear-mounted, telescoping, rod-type antenna fully
extends whenever the radio is in use. The antenna
retracts when the following conditions exist:
The radio is off.
The ignition switch is in the OFF position.
The retained accessory power (RAP) is inactive.
The antenna mast is attached to a plastic cable that is
driven up and down by an electric motor. The motor
is automatically shut off by the limit switches when the
antenna reaches the full up or full down position.

Power Antenna System Circuit Description


When the radio is turned on voltage is applied from
the radio (circuit 314) to the radio power antenna
internal relay coil. Ground to the relay is supplied from
G200, circuit 650. The relay contacts close, and
battery voltage (from the RADIO ACCY Fuse 4, circuit
1040) is applied to the motor. Terminal B of the
motor is grounded through the up switch and the relay
contacts. The motor drives the antenna mast up.
When the antenna is at its full height, the up switch
opens and the motor stops.
When the radio or ignition switch is turned off, voltage
is removed from the relay coil. The relay contacts
open, applying battery voltage to the motor. The motor
terminal A is now grounded. The down switch at the
antenna now has voltage applied through the relay, the
voltage of the motor has reversed polarity. It runs in
the opposite direction, retracting the antenna mast.
At the end of the antenna's travel, the down
switch opens and breaks the current flow. Both sets of
switches are now in the places shown in the
schematic, the radio is off and the antenna mast
is down.
The antenna is connected to the radio by
coaxial cable.

Where to Find Electrical Schematics
Because more than one electrical system is located in
each subsection, each electrical system's schematics
are further broken down into operating systems, or
cells. Each set of electrical system schematics
will have a cell number that remains common across
all vehicle platforms. Cells are organized by
subsystems with most containing a circuit schematic

and the associated text. For example, the cruise


control schematic will be located in the cruise
control subsection and the schematic title will begin
with cell 34.
Some subsections may have more than one circuit
schematic such as Power Distribution, Interior
Lights and Air Conditioning.

When diagnosing a horn problem use the service


information located in the Horns (cell 40) service
category. The following schematic is a typical example
of a schematic with its supporting text.

Important: The schematic does not represent the


components and wiring as they physically appear on
the vehicle. For example, a 4~foot length of wire is
treated no differently in a schematic from one which is
only a few inches long.

The wiring schematic is the cornerstone of electrical


diagnosis. Schematics break the entire electrical
system into individual circuits, showing the electrical
current paths when a circuit is operating properly.
Wiring which is not part of the circuit of interest
is referenced to another page where the circuit is
shown complete. Schematics use a top (power)
to bottom (ground) sequence to present electrical
information.

How to Use Schematic Reference Tables

Name

The schematic reference table is used when a


circuit continues into another electrical system's
schematic. The schematic reference table matches all
references made on schematics to the appropriate
service category type number and service category
where the schematic's continuation is shown.

The name cells provide the name of the components


that are used on the schematic(s). If a connector
is listed the number of cavities are also provided. This
represents the total number of cavities in the
connector regardless of how many connectors are
actually used.

How to Use Schematic Icon Tables


The schematic icon table shows all icons on schematic
with their definition or references.

How to Use Component Location Tables

General Electrical Diagnosi~ Procedures


Basic Knowledge Required
Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be
difficult to use the diagnostic procedures contained in
this section. 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.
Refer to Strategy Based Diagnosis in General
Information in order to properly diagnose and repair
the customer concern.

Symptom Diagnostic Example


The following is an example of a symptom and the
correct course of action taken by the technician.

Important: Research for possible bulletins, DTCs and


the vehicle's service history. Also, thoroughly screen
the customer regarding the problem in order to
complete the repair of the vehicle and completely
satisfy the customer when a DTC or a symptom
diagnosis is not available.
Verify the Customer Concern, Check the
Problem
Customer complaint is the headlamps are inoperative.
Verify the normal operating procedure of the circuit
and the components that sh~re that circuit. Refer
to Strategy Based Diagnosis.

Body and .Accessories


Review the Headlamps Electrical Schematic
(Preliminary Checks)
Review the schematic, it is essential to understand
how a circuit should work before trying to figure
out why it doesn't. After understanding how a circuit
should operate, read the schematic again, this
time keeping in mind what has been learned by
operating the circuit. Since both the low beam
headlamps are inoperative, ensure that the following
components are operating properly.
The headlamp Switch.
The YEL wire.
. Low contacts of the Headlamp Dimmer Switch.
C100 terminal 1E.
The TAN wires.
Grounds G105 and G109.
Refer to Strategy Based Diagnosis.

Perform the System Check


The system check indicates that the low beam
headlamps operate when the high beam switch is in
high. Also, the high beam indicator illuminates but
neither high beam headlamp operates. Refer to
Strategy Based Diagnosis.

Check for Bulletins


Utilizing a combination of Techline tools and the
information accumulated from the Preliminary Checks,
check for bulletins.

Isolate the Root Cause


At this point analyze and (diagnose the problem), and
develop text. Since the high beam indicator
illuminated when the headlamp dimmer switch was in
the high position, the high contacts of the headlamp
dimmer switch and the LT GRN wire between the
headlamp dimmer switch and C100 are good.
At this point, it is extremely unlikely that the high
beam filaments in the RH and LH headlamps are both
open or that both headlamp connections are bad.
The cause must be a bad connection at C100 or an
open in the LT GRN wire between C100 and the
RH headlamp.

Wiring Systems 8-341

Body and Accessories


Repair and Verify Fix

Check the thoroughness of the repair by performing a


final system check on the headlamp circuit. This of
course means making sure that both high beams, both
low beams, and the high beam indicator are working.

From isolating the root cause, basically the problem


has been diagnosed. Using the Component Location
Table and the corresponding figure, quickly find
C100 and the LT GRN wire, locate the exact trouble
point and make the repair.

Checking Aftermarket Accessories


Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the
following circuits:

Caution: Refer to SIR Service Precautions Caution


in Cautions and Notices.
SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on
circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol.
Notice: Refer to 080 II Symbol Description Notice in
Cautions and Notices.
OBDII circuits, all such circuits are indicated on
circuit diagrams with the OBDII symbol.
Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM)
as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems.
If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to
verify that these add-on accessories are not the
cause of the problems.
\
)

Possible causes of vehicle problems related to


aftermarket accessories include:
Power feeds connected to points other than the
battery.
Antenna location.
Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle
electronic modules or wiring.
Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna
feed line.
Check for recent service bulletins detailing
installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories.

Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter

Troubleshooting with a Test Lamp

Notice: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Cautions


and Notices.

Notice: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Cautions and


Notices.
A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low
impedance circuit for voltage.
The J 34142-8 Test Lamp 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.

Important: Circuits which include any solid state


control modules, such as the PCM, should only be
tested with a 1O megohm or higher impedance digital
multimeter such as the J 39200.
The J 39200 Instruction Manual is a good source of
information and should be read thoroughly upon
receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future
reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order
to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While
a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much
resistance exists between two points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good
continuity.
Important: Disconnect the power feed from the
suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a
DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply
such a small voltage to measure resistance that
the presence of voltages can upset a resistance
reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can
cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out
if a component is affecting a measurement take a
reading once, then reverse the leads and take
a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state
component is affecting the measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of
connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
Backprobe both ends of the connector and either
hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness
for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving. Refer to Probing
Electrical Connectors.
Disconnect the harness at both ends of the
suspected circuit where it connects either
to a component or to other harnesses.
If the system that is being diagnosed has a
specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used
in order to simplify connecting the DMM to
the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.

Troubleshooting with a Short Finder


The J 8681-A can locate hidden shorts to ground.
The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic field in the
shorted circuit and shows the location of the short
through the body trim or sheet metal.

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.
Notice: 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.

Backprobe
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the
terminals from the harness side. (back) of the
connector.
Important:
Backprobe connector terminals only when
specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack)
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.

lntermittents and Poor Connections
Diagnosis

Notice: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Cautions and


Notices.
The following procedures test for a short to ground in
a circuit.

Most intermittents 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. Refer to Testing for
Proper Terminal Contact below for the speci1ic
procedure.
Poor terminal to wire connection. Some conditions
which fall under this description are poor crimps,
poor solder joints, crimping over wire the
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 Testing for Electrical lntermittents for test
procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage
conditions.

With a DMM

Testing for Proper Terminal Contact

Testing for Short to Ground

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 n position.
4. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of
the circuit to be tested.
5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good
ground.
6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance
(OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit.

With a Test Lamp


1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module)
from the suspect circuit.
2. Disconnect the load.
3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to battery
positive voltage.
4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to one
end of the circuit to be tested.
5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to
ground in the circuit.

Fuse Powering Several Loads


1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse
that is open.
2. Open the first connector or switch leading from
the fuse to each load.
3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be
sure that the fuse is powered).
When the DMM displays voltage the short is in
the wiring leading to the first connector or
switch.
If the DMM does not display voltage refer to
the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM
displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.

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 make 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 J 38125-8
Terminal Repair Kit or the J 38125 - 4 Instruction
Manual for terminal identification.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal
contact.
1. Separate the connector halves.
2. Visually inspect the connector halves for
contamination. Contamination may result in
a white or green build-up within the connector
body or between terminals. This causes high
terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or
an open circuit. An underhood or underbody
connector that shows signs of contamination
should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals,
and connector body.

Body and Accessories

3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the


J 38125-8, 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 tor 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 tor splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side
connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage cir deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675
Flat Wire Probe Adapter Kit on the flat wire
harness connector in order to test the circuit in
question.

J 39200 displays 100 ms RECORD and emits an
audible tone (beep).
Important: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length
of time an input must stay at a new value in order
to record the full change.

5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing


the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the
connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations.

Circuit Protection - Fuses

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.

8786

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 J 39200 DMM or a continuity tester.
If the element is open or continuity is suspect,
replace the fuse with one of equal current rating.

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 two.

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 J 39200
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.

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.

H02S Wiring Repairs

Notice: 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 38125-8.

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 ord!,!r to
change the location of a splice.
Adlust splice locations so that each splice is at
least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:

When adding a length of wire to the existing


harness, use the same size wire as the
original wire.
Perform one of the following items in order to
find the. correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert
the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gauge.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin
with the largest opening in the wire
stripper and work down until achieving a
clean strip of the insulation.
Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of
insulation from each wire to be spliced.
Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect
the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure
after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according
to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the splice sleeves and the
crimp tool nests.

5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-B in


order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

9502

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.

7.5 mm (0.31")

68639

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.

9503

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 tubi~g:
The tubing will shrink completely as the heat 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 System Wire Splice Repair


Apply a new splic8 (not sealed) from the J 38125-8 if
damage occurs to any of the original equipment
splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR wiring harness.
Carefully follow the instructions included in the
kit for proper splice clip application.

Push to Seat Connectors


Terminal Removal

Follow the steps below in order to repair push to seat


connectors.

Connector Position Assurance (CPA)


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 (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.

Flat Wire Repairs


Notice: 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.

Diagnostic Information and Procedures


lntermittents and Poor Connections

Intermittent and History DTCs


History DTCs are codes that indicate that the BCM
detected a fault which has disappeared.
Any OTC that begins with the digit 3 is a history OTC.
The fault will be stored as a history code under
either of the following conditions:
The fault is an intermittent failure.
The fault exists in a system which is not currently
being operated.
If you cannot determine the cause of the failure
through visual inspection, complete the following steps:
1. Connect a DVM to the suspected circuit.
2. Drive the vehicle.
3. Observe the readings. An abnormal voltage or
resistance reading when the failure occurs
indicates that the condition may be in the
suspected circuit.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Displaying


Entry Into Diagnostics

If a malfunction occurs in a system monitored by the


BCM, the BCM stores a diagnostic trouble code (OTC)
in memory. DTCs are stored by the BCM as either
current or history codes. A current OTC means that the
fault was present when the diagnostic mode was
entered. A history OTC means the fault occurred
sometime after the DTCs were last cleared from the
BCM memory. History codes are displayed even
though the fault is not currently present. If a current
OTC is stored the corresponding history code will
always be stored. In the diagnostic mode the BCM
displays any DTCs stored in memory. The DTCs are
displayed as flash codes through the security
indicator lamp on the instrument cluster (IPC). When
working on any system controlled by the BCM the
technician should always refer to this section
and check for DTCs.
Perform the following steps to enter the BCM
diagnostic mode:
Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position
Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position
Remove the Radio fuse 17 from the 1/P fuse block
Turn the ignition switch to the ACCY position
(the BCM sounds 1 or 2 audible warning tones)
Within five seconds, turn the ignition switch to the
OFF position and immediately (within 1 second)
back to the ACCY position (the BCM sounds three
audible warning tones to signal entry into the
diagnostic mode)

The BCM will begin flashing. trouble codes four


seconds after entering the diagnostic mode. Each
flash of the security indicator lamp on the IPC
represents a number. For example, one flash followed
by two quick flashes represents code 12. Each
code is displayed three times before the next code is
displayed. Stored DTCs are displayed in numerical
order. Once the last code is displayed, the list begins
again with the first code. The display continues
until the diagnostic mode is exited.
When in the diagnostic mode, a change at certain
BCM inputs will cause the BCM to respond to
the change. For example, if either door lock switch is
pressed the BCM will flash the fasten seatbelt
indicator on the IPC and sound an audible warning
tone. The BCM will also attempt to perform the ,
operation normally performed by the switch operation.
In this case, as long as the system is functioning
properly, the BCM will lock the doors. This is an easy
way for the technician to test the door lock actuators,
switches and associated wiring without removing
the door trim or components.
The BCM will also respond to a change at either
shock sensor input. The tamper input is activated by
minor blows to the vehicle. The shock input is activated
by heavy blows. In the diagnostic mode either will
cause the BCM to activate the horn relay and
the horns will sound. The BCM will also flash the
fasten seatbelt indicator on the IPC and sound
an audible warning tone. An effective method of
checking the shock sensor and associated wiring is to
tap on the shock sensor while in the diagnostic mode.
Switching the interior lamps switch on and off while
in the diagnostic mode will cause the BCM to flash the
fasten seatbelt indicator on the IPC, sound an
audible warning tone, and flash the courtesy lamps.
On vehicles equipped with theft deterrent, each
transition of the interior lamps command input will
cause the BCM to step to next action in the
following list:

1. Courtesy lamps flash


2. Horns sound
3. Exterior lights flash

OTC Display Order

Intermittent and History DTCs

In the diagnostic mode, diagnostic trouble codes


(OTCs) are displayed in the following order:

History DTCs are codes that indicate that the BCM


detected a fault which has disappeared.
'
Any OTC that begins with the digit 3 is a history DTC.
The fault will be stored as a history code under
either of the following conditions:
The fault is an intermittent failure.
The fault exists in a system which is not currently
being operated.
If you cannot determine the cause of the failure
through visual inspection, complete the following steps:
1. Connect a DVM to the suspected circuit.
2. Drive the vehicle.
3. Observe the readings. An abnormal voltage or
resistance reading when the failure occurs
indicates that the condition may be in the
suspected circuit.

1. OTC 12
2. Any current OTCs (OTC 21-0TC 25) or any
history OTCs (OTC 31-0TC 35)
3. The remote control door lock transmitter diagnostic
OTCs (OTC 41-0TC 45)
These OTCs will display if they are evoked while
in the diagnostic mode.
4. The begin configuration display (OTC 55). DTC 55
and 2 configuration numbers are always displayed.
The first number following OTC 55 is the
hardware configuration. The second number is the
software configuration.
5. After the configuration numbers are displayed, the
entire list is repeated beginning with DTC 12.
System faults are stored as current or history DTCs.
When working on systems controlled by the body
control module, always refer to this section and test
for OTCs.

Clearing DTCs
Clearing BCM DTCs
Current DTCs (21 to 25) remain stored by the body
control module (BCM) and are displayed in the
diagnostic mode as long as the BCM detects the fault.
Once the fault is corrected, the current OTCs are
cleared by the BCM. To clear history DTCs (31 to 35)
press and hold the door unlock switch for
four seconds while the BCM is in the diagnostic mode.
The BCM will sound three audible warning tones to
confirm that the DTCs are cleared.
To clear BCM history DTCs on vehicles without power
door locks, backprobe with a fused jumper from
BCM connector C1 terminal D to ground for four
seconds. The BCM will sound three audible warning
tones to confirm that the history OTCs have been
cleated.

Circuit Description

Test Description

Voltage is applied at all times from the POWER ACCY


Fuse 7 through circuit 640 to the SECURITY indicator
lamp on the instrument cluster.
Ground is applied by the body control module (BCM)
through circuit 728 to the SECURITY indicator
lamp when the ignition switch is in the RUN or
BULB TEST position.
When the ignition switch is turned to the RUN or
BULB TEST position, the SECURITY indicator lamp
illuminates for approximately 5 seconds in order
to verify the circuit operation.
The BCM also uses the SECURITY indicator lamp in
order to display the DTC flash codes by grounding
CKT728.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the


diagnostic table.

Conditions for Setting the OTC


DTC 12 is always set and displayed when the body
control module (BCM) is in the diagnostic mode.
DTC 12 indicates that the diagnostic function is in
progress. If DTCs do not display when the BCM is in
the diagnostic mode, refer to the following
diagnostic chart.

1. This step tests the SECURITY indicator lamp


operation at the BULB TEST.
2. This step tests the BCM operation in the
diagnostic mode.
3. This step tests the BCM output to the retained
accessory power (RAP) components.
4. This step tests circuit 75 for a short to ground.
5. This step tests the BCM operation in the
diagnostic mode after the repair to circuit 75.
7. If the SECURITY indicator lamp does not
illuminate, this step determines if the fault is in the
BCM or the SECURITY indicator circuit.
8. This step tests for a poor connection at the BCM.
9. This step tests for an open in circuit 640.
1O. This step tests for an open in circuit 728.

Test Description

The fault is corrected and the OTC memory clearing


procedure is completed.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the


diagnostic table.
1. This step tests for an open in circuit 40 or
circuit 1002 between B+ and the BCM.
3. This step determines if the radio operates. The
radio may not work due to a short to ground
in circuit 75 or a defective BCM.
4. This step determines if there is a short in either
circuit 43 or circuit 243. A short in either circuit
43 or circuit 243 would allow the radio to play with
the ignition switch in the OFF position and a
door open.
6. This step determines circuit 341 is shorted to B+.

Diagnostic Aids
If the only OTC that flashes is a HISTORY code
(OTC 33), the problem may be intermittent. Perform
the test shown while ''wiggling" the wiring and
connectors. This can often cause the fault to appear.
Test for a poor connections at the BCM connector,
which could cause an open or an intermittent
fault. Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)

Wake-up and Sleep Modes


Wake-up signals are signals which turn on the BCM.
Once active, the BCM begins monitoring and
controlling the system functions listed above. With the
ignition switch in the OFF position the BCM ceases
control of the system functions after a 1O minute
period. This is the sleep mode. During the sleep mode
the BCM monitors several circuits for changes in
status. The BCM wakes up when a change is detected
in any of the following inputs:
Courtesy lamps
Remote keyless entry
Ignition switch
Park lamps
Headlamps
Side door locks
Rear compartment lid ajar indication switch

Power Requirements
The BCM will operate properly with a system
voltage of 9-16 volts.
Operating current measured at the BCM battery
terminals in the awake mode should not exceed the
following values:
75 milliamps with the ignition switch in the
OFF position
250 milliamps with the ignition switch in the
RUN position
Operating current measured at the BCM battery
terminals in the sleep mode should not exceed the
following values:
Two milliamps on vehicles without theft
deterrent (UA6)
Three milliamps on vehicles with theft
deterrent (UA6)
Operating current measured at the BCM IGN1 and
IGN3 terminals should not exceed 15 milliamps.

BCM Replacement
Technicians should not replace the BCM unless
directed to do so by the diagnostic procedures in this
section. Most system faults are traceable to faulty
wiring, connectors or components. The BCM is very
reliable and is not likely the cause of the fault. Do not
replace the BCM before performing a complete
diagnosis. This may result in the replacement of a
good BCM and a recurrence of the fault.
Important:
If the BCM is replaced refer to theft deterrent
system to program the new BCM to the
current ignition key.
A new BCM is shipped from the supplier in the
factory test mode. This mode allows only
limited functionality the BCM controlled systems.
When a new BCM is installed it is necessary
to exit the factory test mode prior to returning the
vehicle to the customer. To restore the BCM
to normal operation, turn the ignition switch from
the RUN position to the OFF position 10 times
or enter the program mode as described in theft
deterrent systems.

Diagnostic Information and Procedures


lntermittents and Poor Connections
Diagnosis
Intermittent faults in electronic systems may be very
difficult to detect and to diagnose accurately. The
instrument cluster may detect different malfunctions
under different vehicle conditions. For this reason,
a thorough test drive is. often needed in order to repeat
a fault condition. If the system malfunction is not
repeated during the drive test, a good description of
the complaint may be useful in locating an intermittent
fault condition. Also, perform tests while moving
related wiring and connectors. This can often cause
the malfunction to reoccur.
Faulty wires or connections cause most intermittent
problems. When an intermittent condition is suspected,
inspect the suspected circuits for these conditions:
Poor mating of connector halves, or backed
out terminals.
Improperly formed or damaged terminals.
Wire chafing.
Poor wire to terminal connections.
Dirty or corroded terminals.
Connector body damage.
The following conditions may result in intermittent
instrument cluster operation with no DTCs stored:
Any condition which results in the interruption
of power to the instrument cluster.
The battery voltage is out of range
(below 6V or above 16V).
A loose or damaged ground.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Displaying


Use a scan tool (Tech 2) for reading instrument
cluster Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). Refer to the
scan tool user's manual for menu navigation
instructions.

Clearing DTCs
Use one of these two methods for clearing Diagnostic
Trouble Codes (DTCs) in the instrument cluster
memory:
The scan tool (Tech 2) method.
The ignition cycle default method.
These methods will not clear instrument cluster DTCs:
Unplugging the instrument cluster electrical
connector by removing the instrument cluster.
Disconnecting the battery cables.
Turning the ignition switch off (except on an
ignition cycle default).
Important: Check for proper instrument cluster
operation and the absence of DTCs after completing
the clearing procedure.

Scan Tool Method


Refer to the scan tool (Tech 2) user's manual for
menu navigation instructions.

Ignition Cycle Default


The instrument cluster clears a Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC) automatically when the malfunction that
set the DTC does not occur for 100 ignition cycles.

Scan Tool Diagnostics


Data Display
Use a scan tool to display instrument cluster data.
This information assists in determining whether
the instrument cluster is operating properly and
whether the instrument cluster is sending or receiving
the proper data to and from a particular system.
The instrument cluster uses data received from other
systems in order to carry out some functions. If
the instrument cluster receives incorrect data from
another system, the instrument cluster may appear to
function improperly. Use the scan tool in order to
review the data from the systems that interact with the
instrument cluster. An example would be an oil
pressure gauge. An oil pressure gauge that is not
displaying the proper oil pressure involves the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The cluster
processes information received from the PCM and
displays the oil pressure on the gauge. To diagnose
this condition using a scan tool, select the PCM
data display function, then check if the PCM is
receiving and interpreting the proper oil pressure data
from the sensor. If the PCM is not reading the
proper oil pressure the instrument cluster is not the
problem and the PCM must be further diagnosed. If the
PCM is receiving and interpreting the proper oil
pressure data, use the scan tool gauge sweep function
to command the oil pressure gauge to move to the
high pressure or low pressure position. This is
an example of how the scan tool can provide
diagnostic information without any time spent on
disassembly of the vehicle or probing of circuits. This
example can also be applied to an indicator
malfunction.

A Diagnostic System Check - Instrument Cluster

Circuit Description
The Instrument Cluster Diagnostic System Check is
an organized approach to identify problems associated
with the module. This check must be the starting
point for any module complaint, and will direct you to
the next logical step in diagnosing the complaint.
The module is a very reliable component and is not
likely the cause of the malfunction. Most system
complaints are linked to faulty wiring and connectors,
and occasionally to components. Understanding
the computer system and using the tables correctly
will reduce diagnostic time and prevent unnecessary
parts replacement.

Diagnostic Aids
The following conditions may result in an
intermittent operation of the module with no
OTC stored:
- Any condition which results in the interruption
of power to the module
- Out of range battery or ignition voltage
Specification
Normal module operating voltage:

9.0-16.0 V
- A loose or damaged ground(s)
- An open or shorted serial data line
An intermittent failure in the electronic system
may be very difficult to detect and to accurately
diagnose. The module tests for different
malfunctions under different vehicle conditions.
For this reason, a thorough test drive is often
needed in order to repeat a malfunction. If
the system malfunction is not repeated during the
test drive, a good description of the complaint
may be very useful in locating an intermittent
malfunction. Faulty electrical connections or wiring
causes most intermitting problems. When an
intermitting condition is suspected, check
the suspected circuits for the following conditions:
- Poor mating of connector halves or backed
out terminals
- Improperly formed or damaged terminals
- Wire chafing
- Poor wire-to-terminal connections
- Dirty or corroded terminals
- Damage to connector bodies

Use the J 35616-A whenever a diagnostic


procedure requests probing or checking a terminal.
Using this adapter will ensure that no damage
to the terminal will occur, and will give an idea of
whether contact tension is sufficient.
If the OTC is a history OTC, the problem may be
intermittent. Perform the tests shown while
moving related wiring and connectors. This can
often cause the malfunction to occur. Perform
a thorough inspection of all related wiring
and connectors pertaining to the history OTC
stored. Refer to lntermittents and Poor
Connections Diagnosis.
Exit all scan tool tests before cycling the ignition
OFF to ON unless the scan tool instructions
direct otherwise. Follow the operating instructions
in the scan tool operator's manual. Failure to
follow these instruction may set DTCs, cause
vehicle system malfunctions, set false DTCs, or
cause scan tool malfunctions.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table:
1. This test determines if communication can be
established with the instrument cluster.
2. This test checks for stored instrument
cluster DTCs.
3. This test determines whether communication can
be established with other modules connected to
the Class 2 serial data line.
4. This test checks for any open instrument cluster
power fuses.
5. This test checks the instrument cluster power
circuits. If the test light does not turn on, there is
an open in the instrument cluster power circuit.
6. This test checks the instrument cluster ground
circuits. If the test light does not turn on, there
is an open in the instrument cluster power circuit.

Repair Instructions
IP Service Precautions
The Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic
Module (SOM) can maintain enough voltage to cause
a air bag deployment for up to 1O minutes after
any of the following situations occur:
The ignition switch is turned to the OFF position.
The battery is disconnected.
The fuse that is powering the SOM is removed.

Many of the service procedures require removal of the


AIR BAG fuse and disconnection of the deployment
loops. These actions help avoid an accidental air bag
deployment. If the inflator modules are disconnected
from the deployment loops, service can begin
immediately without waiting for the 1o minute time
period to expire.

Description and Operation


Instrument Cluster Description
The instrument cluster is centered above the steering
column in the instrument panel (1/P). The instrument
cluster contains gages and indicator lamps that provide
the driver with vehicle performance information.
Warning lights come on when there may be or is a
problem with one of the vehicle's functions. Some
warning lights come on briefly when the vehicle
is started to let you know they are working. Gages can
indicated when there may be or is a problem with
one of the vehicle's functions. Often gages and
warning lights work together to let you know when
there is a problem with the vehicle.
The instrument cluster includes the following gages:
Fuel gage
Engine coolant temperature gauge
Voltmeter
Speedometer
Odometer
Trip odometer
Tachometer
The instrument cluster contains the following
indicator lamps:
Headlamp high beam symbol
Fasten seatbelt reminder
Turn signal directional arrows
Skip shift
Oil change
Hatch ajar
The instrument cluster also contains the following
warning indicator lamps:
ABS INOP
AIRBAG
ASR OFF (acceleration slip regulation,
Chevrolet V8 only)
BRAKE
CHECK GAGES
LOW COOLANT symbol (V8 engines only)
LOW OIL
LOW TRAC (on vehicles with ASR or TCS
systems only)
REDUCED ENG PWR (V6 engines only)
SECURITY
SERVICE ENGINE SOON
SERVICE VEHICLE
TCS OFF (traction control system, on Pontiac
vehicles with V8 engines only)
Electric power is directed to the appropriate lamps and
gauges of the instrument cluster by a flexible printed
circuit. This circuit is attached to the back of the
instrument cluster case. Two multiple connectors and
the snap-in bulb sockets help to hold the printed
circuit to the back of the instrument cluster.

The instrument cluster is non-serviceable, except as


noted in this section. The instrument cluster must
be replaced as a unit.
When an instrument cluster is replaced, the law
requires that the odometer reading of the replacement
unit be set to register the same mileage as the
prior odometer. If the same mileage cannot be set the
law requires that the following actions be performed:
1. Set the replacement odometer to zero.
2. Install a label on the driver's door frame, providing
the following information:
The previous odometer reading
The date of the replacement
Refer to Odometer Repair Label Description.

Instrument Cluster Gauge Operation


Engine Coolant Temperature Gage
The coolant temperature sending unit is mounted to
the engine. The unit is mounted at a point where
the unit is exposed to the coolant being circulated
through the engine coolant passages. The sending unit
contains a temperature-sensitive variable resistor
that senses and reacts to coolant temperature.
Resistance decreases as temperature increases.
When electric power is supplied to the engine coolant
temperature gage, current flows through the gage.
The current flows to the variable resistor and then to a
ground at the engine. The position of the gage
pointer is determined by the strength of the current
flowing through the gage. When the engine coolant is
cold the following situations exist:
The resistance is high.
The current flow is low.
The pointer indicates a cold reading.
As the coolant temperature increases, the following
situations occur:
The resistance decreases.
The current flow is high.
The pointer moves toward the center of the gauge.
Prolonged driving or idling in very hot weather
may cause the pointer to move beyond this point. An
overheat condition exists if the pointer goes into
the red zone at the upper limit of the scale.
Dial calibrations go far above the normal boiling point
of water, which is 100C (212F). This is because
the cooling system is pressurized. The increase
in pressure also increases the boiling temperature of
the coolant. This action permits the coolant to
reach temperatures above those possible with a
non-pressurized system without boiling. The higher
operating temperature of the cooling system that
results gives greater cooling efficiency and other
benefits.

Fuel Gage
The fuel gage sending unit i.s mounted on the top
surface of the fuel tank. The fuel level sender
itself consists of the following two components:
A iloat that rides on the surface of the fuel in
the tank
A variable resistor 'that is. controlled by the
float arm
When electric power is supplied to the fuel gage,
current flows through the gage to the variable resistor
and then to a ground. The position of the gage
pointer is determined by the strength of the current
that is flowing through the gage.
If the tank is full the following situations occur:
The resistance of the vatiable resistor is
high (90 Q).
The current flow through the gage is minimum.
The pointer indicates that the gage reads
full (F) on the gauge dial.
If the fuel level is low the following situations occur:
The reisistance of the variable resistor is low.
The current flow through the gage is high.
The pointer indicates a low fuel level reading.
Intermediate fuel levels cause the pointer to indicate
the corresponding position between F. and E.

Oil Pressure Gage


The oil pressure gage indicates the pressure of the
lubricating oil flow provided by the engine oil
pump. The oil pressure gage sending unit is a variable
resistor that is mounted to the engine block. The
sending unit senses the oil pressure in a main
oil passage just downstream from the engine oil pump.
When electric power is supplied to the gage, current
flows through the gage to the resistor in the sending
unit and then to the ground at the engine block.
The position of the oil pressure gage pointer is
determined by the strength of the current flowing
through the gage.
When oil pressure is low the following situations exist:
The resistance of the sending unit is low.
Current flow through the gage is high;
The gage indicator needle shows a low pressure
reading.
As oil pressure increases the follt>wing
situations occur:
The resistance of the sending unit resistor
increases.
Current flow through the gage is reduced.
Under normal conditions the oil pressure reading
should be measure 138-414 kPa (20-60 psi). Engine
oil pressure should never fall below a reading of
28 kPa (4 psi), even at idle.

Speedometer
The electric speedometer does not have a
speedometer cable. The source of speed information
is a small permanent magnet alternating current
generator called a vehicle speed sensor (VSS).

8-,601

The VSS is mounted on the transmission. The shaft of


the VSS fits into rotor teeth on the transmission
output shaft in the same manner as the speedometer
cable of a mechanical speedometer system. The
transmission output shaft rotates and turns the rotor
teeth near a magnetic pick-up within th.e VSS.
This generates an alternating current in the coil with
a frequency that is proportional to the speed of
the vehicle.
The alternating current from the VSS is sent to the
powertrain control module (PCM).
The PCM modifies the current to a series of direct
current pulses at a frequency proportional to tile speed
of the vehicle. These pulses form a vehicle speed
signal that is transmitted to the speedometer.
At the speedometer, a solid state circuit uses the
speed signal in order to regulate the distribution of the
current from the fuse block to 2 electromagnetic
coils. The magnetic coils are at right angles to each
other, near the base of the speedometer pointer pivot.
At the base of the speedometer pointer pivot is a
magnet that is acted upon by the magnetic fields of
the 2 coils. The relative strength of the 2 magnetic
fields determines the position of the magnet and
accordingly, the position of the speedometer pointer.
Pulses from the solid state circuit also are used in
order to drive a small electric stepper motor. The
stepper motor turns the numbered wheels of
the odometer and the trip odometer. The numbered
wheels are geared so that when any one wheel
completes a revolution, the next wheel to the left is
turned one-tenth of a revolution. Every tenth of a
revolution advances the displayed number by one unit.
The trip odometer can be reset to zero at any time.
This allows the driver to record the distance traveled
from any selected starting point.

Tachometer
The tachometer signal comes from the PCM. The
tachometer displays the engine speed in thousands of
revolutions per minute (rpm).

Voltmeter
The voltmeter is an instrument that shows the voltage
of the vehicle electrical system. The voltmeter
indicates the ability of the charging system to keep the
storage battery charged. The voltmeter is wired in
parallel with other circuits in the vehicle.
When the engine is running the voltmeter indicates
charging system voltage. If the engine is not running
and the ignition switch is in the RUN or ST ART
position the voltmeter will show battery voltage. The
voltmeter can be used as a first step in diagnosing
many electrical problems. Battery voltage drop can be
seen while the engine is cranking. After the engine
is running, generator output voltage is indicated.
The voltmeter should read between 11-13 volts during
extended idle or just after starting. As the electrical
load is increased, or in stop-and-go driving, the pointer
may rotate temporarily to the bottom of the scale. A
voltmeter reading continuously below 11 volts or above
16 volts indicates an electrical system problem.

Instrument Cluster Indicator Operation

Air Bag Indicator Lamp

Fasten Seat Belts Indicator Lamp

The AIR BAG indicator lamp will light in order to warn


the driver of a potential supplemental inflatable
restraint (SIR) system problem that could prevent the
proper deployment of the air bags in an accident.
When the ignition switch is first turned on, the lamp will
flash seven times. This flashing verifies the proper
operation of the lamp circuit and the sensing and
discriminating module (SDM). A scan tool can be used
in order to read diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) in
the SDM and to clear all DTCs after repair. For
additional information, including service precautions,
refer to Supplemental Inflatable Restraints (SIR).

The FASTEN SEATBELTS indicator lamp will go on


when one of the following conditions exist:
The ignition switch is in the RUN position.
The ignition switch is in the BULB TEST position.
The ignition switch is in the START position.
The driver's seatbelt is unbuckled.
The FASTEN SEATBELTS indicator lamp will remain
on until the driver's seatbelt is buckled.
For more information, refer to Audible Warnings
Description Warning/Reminder Chimes.

Turn Signal Indicator Lamps


The left or right turn signal indicator lamp will illuminate
when the multi-function lever on the left side of the
steering column is moved to signal a turn. The
turn/hazard switch in the steering column receives an
on-and-off flashing current from the fuse block and
the turn signal flasher unit in the convenience center
when the ignition switch is in one of the following
positions:
RUN
START
BULB TEST
When the multi-function lever is moved the turn/hazard
switch routes the current to circuits that feed the
following lamps:
The left front turn signal lamp
The right front turn signal lamp
The left rear tail/stop/turn signal lamps
The right rear tail/stop/turn signal lamps
The circuit to the left or right front turn signal lamp,
and the cornering and sidemarker lamps has a branch
that feeds the appropriate turn indicator lamp in the
instrument cluster. This causes the lamps to flash
when the exterior lamps are indicating a tum.
When the hazard warning button on the right side of
the steering column is pressed in the following
lamps in the instrument cluster flash:
The left front turn signal lamps
The right front turn signal lamps
The cornering lamps
The sidemarker lamps
The rear tail/stop/turn lamps
Both turn signal indicator lamps
Power for the hazard warning system reaches the
tum/hazard switch from the fuse block and the hazard
flasher in the convenience center. Power is supplied
with the ignition switch in any position. When the
hazard warning system is flashing, the turn signal
circuits are inoperative.

Service Engine Soon Indicator Lamp


The SERVICE ENGINE SOON indicator lamp in the
instrument cluster will come on when turning the
ignition ON or OFF. This serves as a bulb and system
check. The light should go off after the engine
starts unless a problem has been detected by the
system.
For diagnosis, refer to Engine Controls.

Low Coolant Indicator Lamp (VS Only)


With a low coolant level, the circuit made by the
low coolant probe has very high resistance (over
50,000 Q). The low engine coolant indicator module
senses the voltage change at the low coolant
level input. The indicator module provides ground to
the LOW COOLANT indicator and the indicator
lights up. The LOW COOLANT indicator is grounded
for 1.5 seconds when the ignition switch is initially
turned the ON position, causing the LOW COOLANT
indicator to light.

Low Oil Indicator Lamp


The LOW OIL indicator ground is controlled by the
engine oil level indicator control module. In order
to check for a low oil condition, the low oil module
looks for a ground through the oil level switch. This is
done after the ignition switch has been turned to
the OFF or LOCK position.
The low oil module tests for a low oil condition as
follows:
32 minutes after the ignition switch is turned to
the OFF or LOCK position, if the previous
ignition cycle was less than 12 minutes
3 minutes after the ignition switch is turned to the
OFF or LOCK position, if the previous ignition
cycle was longer than 12 minutes.
When the oil level is low, the low oil module loses the
ground through the oil level switch. This means
that the oil level switch is open, indicating low oil level.
This action causes the low oil module to ground the
LOW OIL indicator for the duration of the next
ignition cycle.
When the low oil module is grounded through the oil
level switch, the low oil module ground the LOW
OIL indicator. This allows a bulb test when the ignition
switch is turned to the RUN position during the next
ignition cycle. The bulb test takes 4-5 seconds.

check when the vehicle is first started. The light
stays on for 60 seconds after the vehicle is started the
oil needs to be changed. The light may indicate to
change the oil sooner than suggested in the
maintenance schedule. The light comes on when the
system predicts that the oil's remaining useful life
is almost up. To reset the oil life monitor perform the
following:
1. Turn the ignition to the RUN position.
2. Push .and hold the TRIP/OIL RESET button for
12 seconds.
3. The OIL CHANGE light will start to flash to
confirm the system is reset.
4. The reset is complete when the OIL CHANGE
light goes out.

Brake Warning Lamp


When the ignition switch is turned to the RUN position
the BRAKE warning lamp will come on for
approximately 3 seconds. If the parking Qrake is set,
the lamp will remain on. The lamp may also be
illuminated by information from the electr6nic brake
control module (EBCM) to the electronic brake/traction
control module (EBTCM).
The BRAKE warning lamp may be activated by the
brake combo valve when the ignition switch is turned
to one of the following positions:

For more information, refer to Engine Electrical.

ABS INOP Indicator Lamp


The ABS INOP indicator lamp is part of the antilock
brake system. When the ignition switch is turned to the
RUN position, the ABS INOP lamp will turn on for
approximately 3 seconds. The lamp will turn off if no
ABS malfunction is detected. If a malfunction is
detected, the lamp will remain on.
If. the ABS INOP indicator lamp co.mes on while
driving, there is a malfunction in the antilock brake
system. For more information, refer to Antilock Brakes.

ASR Indicator Lamp


Chevrolet VS Only
The accelerated slip regulation (ASR) system limits
wheel spin if the ASR senses that one or both of the
rear wheels begin to lose traction. When this
happens, the ASR system works the rear brakes and
reduces engine power in order to limit wheel spin.
The ASR indicator lamp will come on if one of
the following conditions exist:
There is a system failure.
The driver turns off the system.
The engine is starting.

When the ignition switch is turned to the crank


position the following lamps will come on:

Remote Keyless Entry System Circuit


Description
Circuit Operation
The body control module (BCM) is designed with an
internal antenna. The BCM picks up transmitted
radio frequencies from a hand held remote control
door lock transmitter. The transmitter has sufficient
power for operating the system from up to
7-10 meters (22-33 ft) from the vehicle.
The side door lock actuators and the rear compartment
lid release actuator contain an electronic circuit
breaker (ECB). ECB resistance increases if the
actuator is overloaded. Resistance returns to normal
after the voltage is removed from the actuator
terminals.

Remote Control Door Lock Transmitter


Functions
Lock
When the lock button on the remote control door lock
transmitter is pr~ssed, the body control module (BCM)
grounds the coil of relay 5. A voltage pulse is
applied from the BCM through circuit 295 to both side
door lock actuators. Ground is applied from G200
through circuit 650, the BCM and circuit 694
and circuit 1663 to the actuators. the driver and
passenger doors lock. The BCM turns off all of the
courtesy lamps as visual confirmation that a lock
function was performed.
Unlock
When the unlock button on the remote control door
lock transmitter is pressed once, the body control
module (BCM) grounds the coil of relay 3. A voltage
pulse is applied from the BCM through circuit 694
to the left side door lock actuator. Ground is applied
from G200 through circuit 650, the BCM and
circuit 295 to the actuator. The driver door unlocks.
The BCM also grounds the dome/courtesy lamps
through CKT 156 for approximately 40 seconds
to provide illuminated entry. The BCM then initiates
the theater dimming function until the BCM receives an
ignition ON input.
When the unlock button on the transmitter is pressed
a second time within 5 seconds, the BCM grounds
the coil of relay 3. A voltage pulse is applied from the
BCM through circuit 1663 to the right side door
lock actuator. Ground is applied from G200 through
circuit 650, the BCM and circuit 295 to the actuator.
The passenger door unlocks.

Keyless Entry

Body and Accessories

Rear Compartment Lid Release

Programming the Body Control Module

Automatic Transmission
Voltage is applied at all times from the PWR ACCY
fuse through circuit 640 to the normally open contacts
of the rear compartment lid release relay. When the
rear compartment lid release button on the remote
control door lock transmitter is pressed twice, voltage
is applied from the body control module (BCM)
through circuit 253 to the coil of the rear compartment
lid release relay. If the transmission is in the PARK
or NEUTRAL position, the relay is energized. The relay
then appiies battery voltage through circuit 56 to the
rear compartment lid release actuator. Ground is
applied from G400 through circuit 1550 to the
actuator. The rear compartment lid opens.

The body control module (BCM) is capable of


accepting vehicle access code (V AC) programming
from any four remote control door lock transmitters.
Up to four remote control door lock transmitters can be
programmed. When four.transmitters are programmed,
they must be programmed one after the other,
during the same program sequence. Transmitters may
not be programmed simultaneously. Each transmitter
is manufactured with a permanent VAC combination
(one of over 4 billion combinations). The code
cannot be changed for the life of the transmitter. The
BCM can only be programmed by the transmitters
while in the program mode.

Manual Transmission
Voltage is applied at all times from the PWR ACCY
fuse through circuit 640 to the normally open contacts
of the rear compartment lid release relay. When the
rear compartment lid release button on the remote
control door lock transmitter is pressed twice, voltage
is applied from the body control module (BCM}
through circuit 253 to the coil of the rear compartment
lid release relay. If the park brake is set, the park
brake switch is closed and the relay is energized. The
relay then applies battery voltage through circuit 56
to the rear compartment lid release actuator. Ground is
applied from G400 through circuit 1550 to the
actuator. The rear compartment lid opens.

Important:
When you replace a lost or damaged transmitter,
program all of the remote control door lock
transmitters.
The first transmitter code that you program will
always be in all four memories unless additional
transmitters are programmed.
Program the remote keyless entry system for one
. vehicle at a time ..
If you program two or more vehicles and the
vehicles are close to each other, one transmitter
could be programmed to more than one
vehicle.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
2. Remove the RADIO fuse from the fuse block.
3. Cycle the ignition switch from the OFF position to
the RUN position 3 times within 5 seconds.
The body control module (BCM) will verify entry
into the programming mode by performing
the following actions:
3.1 . Locking both of the doors
3.2. Unlocking the driver door
3.3. Releasing the rear compartment lid
4. Press and hold both the LOCK and UNLOCK
buttons on the remote control door lock
transmitter for approximately 15 seconds.
The following actions will occur:
The BCM will confirm that the transmitter code
is programmed by performing the following
actions:
4.1 . Locking both of the doors
4.2. Unlocking the driver door
4.3. Releasing the rear compartment lid
Any transmitter code that was previously
programmed is erased.
The BCM is programmed to the transmitter.

Illuminated Entry Operation


The dome lamp (coupe} or the rear courtesy lamps
illuminate whenever a remote control door lock
transmitter unlock request is received by the body
control module (BCM}. The BCM provides voltage
through circuit 149 to the dome lamp (coupe) or the
rear courtesy lamps (convertible}. Ground is applied
from the BCM through circuit 156 to the lamps.
The lamps illuminate whenever a remote control door
lock transmitter request is received.
With a LOCK request, the dome lamp (coupe) or the
rear courtesy lamps (convertible) are immediately
turned off. This action provides visual confirmation that
a lock function was performed.
With an unlock or a rear compartment lid release
request, the dome lamp (coupe) or the rear courtesy
lamps (convertible) are turned on. The lights remain on
for 40 seconds in order to provide illuminated entry
and hatch area illumination.
Illuminated entry is disabled when the BCM detects
ignition ON voltage.

Description and Operation


Horns Operation
The horn system starts at the underhood electrical
center with the horn MiniFuse fuse. The circuit goes
from the horn MiniFuse fuse to the the H/L DR
HORN MaxiFuse and from there to the horn relay. At
the relay the circuit splits. One branch of the circuit
goes through the relay coil to the horn switch in
the steering column. The other branch of the circuit
goes through the relay contacts to the horn.
When clo:.:;ed, the horn switch provides a ground path
for the horn relay coil. The current flows into the
relay coil, closing the contacts which allows the horn
to sound.

Horns Circuit Description (Chevrolet)


Battery voltage is applied at all times to the horn relay
at the following terminals:
Terminal E6
Terminal E8
A ground is placed on the horn relay coil at terminal F8
when one of the following actions occur:
A horn switch is pressed
The body control module (BCM) initiates a
tamper/alarm cycle

The horn relay contacts close. This action applies


battery voltage to the horns. The horns continue
to sound until one of the following actions occur
The horn switch is released.
The tamper/alarm cycle ends.
For Pontiac horn circuit description refer to Horns
Circuit Description (Pontiac)

Horns Circuit Description (Pontiac)


Battery voltage is applied at all times to the horn relay
at the following terminals:
Terminal E6
Terminal EB
A ground path is provided to the horn relay coil at
terminal FB under the following conditions:
When the inflator module is pressed agains1 a
spring loaded ground plate in the steering wheel.
When the BCM initiates a tamper/alarm cycle
The horn relay contacts close. This action applies
battery voltage to the horns. The horns continue
to sound until one of the following actions occur:
The inflator module is released.
The tamper/alarm cycle ends.

Diagnostic Information and Procedures


lntermittents and Poor Connections
Tools Required
J 39200 Digital Multimeter
Important: In order to prevent misdiagnosis, verify
that no DTCs are stored in the PCM by performing the
On-Board Diagnostic System Check. Look for DTCs
that indicate a problem in the PASS-Key II fuel enable
circuit. Refer to Engine Controls.
The following are the most likely causes of intermittent
starting or cranking complaints due to the
PASS-Key II:
Incorrect resistance measurement of the ignition
key resistance
Intermittent relay
In order to test for incorrect resistance measurements,
use the following steps:
If only one key functions properly, clean or
replace the faulty key. If you have tried a key that
did not function properly, you must wait 3 minutes
for the Tamper Mode timer to expire. After
3 minutes you may try a new key.
If none of the keys function properly, one of the
following conditions is present:
- The lock cylinder is dirty or defective.
- The key resistance circuit wiring,
connections, or contacts are faulty.
Use the following steps in order to measure the key
resistance circuit with an ohmmeter:
1. Use the J 39200 in order to measure resistance
across the key contacts while the key is removed
from the vehicle.
2. Disconnect the Body Control Module (BCM).
3. Insert the key into the ignition.
4. Set the J 39200 to MIN MAX.
5. Measure the resistance across terminals C2 and
07 of the BCM harness connector C3.
6. Rotate the steering wheel from side to side.
7. Listen for an audible tone from the J 39200. A
tone indicates that the resistance is fluctuating.
If the resistance is fluctuating, inspect the
wiring and the wiring connections to the
lock cylinder for an intermittent condition. An
example of an intermittent condition is a
poor connection or a broken wire inside the
insulation.
If the resistance is not within 5 ohms of the
resistance measured on the key, inspect
for a dirty or defective lock cylinder.

8. In order to test for a resistance change, rotate the


key to aH p9ssible positions. Monitor the results. A
resistance change of over 5 ohms indicates a
problem with the lock cylinder or the key contacts.
.Use the following steps in order to test for
intermittent relay:
1. If the SECURITY indicator illuminates for the
5 second bulb check then goes out, inspect
the relay. If the connections to the relay are OK,
install a new relay.
2. If the SECURITY indicator remains illuminated
longer than the 5 second bulb check when the
vehicle will not crank, the relay is not the cause of
the condition.
3. If you need to turn the key several times before
the engine cranks, the relay is not functioning
properly. Inspect the connections to the relay. If
the connections to the relay are OK, install a
new relay.
'
If you cannot start t~e engine immediately after a fault,
the relay is not the problem. Complete the
following steps:
Verify that the connector to the Body Control
Module (BCM) is tight.
Verify that the connector terminals to the BCM
are clean.
Inspect the powertrain control module (PCM) for
DTCs. Refer to Engine Controls.
Manipulate the harness. Inspect the power and
the ground to the module.
During an ignition cycle the SECURITY indicator
will illuminate. The indicator will remain illuminated
for at least 1 minute when a problem exists in
the key resistance circuits. The indicator will go out
when the condition stops.
In order to determine whether the BCM is
intermittent, lightly tap the BCM. The BCM is not
typically intermittent.

The use of the transmitter is the primary method of
arming the CTD system. The transmitter has four push
buttons which perform the following functions:
Lock the vehicle door and. arm the CTD system
Unlock the vehicle doors and disarm the CTD
system
Open the rear compartment.
Initiate the Panic mode during which the horns
sound and park lamps flash
The side door lock switches can also be used to arm
and disarm the CTD system. The security indicator
LED flashes to confirm the system is armed. The LED
is visible on top of the instrument panel to provide
the system status and as a warning to intruders. The
status of the CTD system can be determined by
the output of the LED as described below:
1. The LED flashes once per second with a door
open and the CTD system unarmed.
2. The LED is on steady when the CTD system is
waiting for the doors to close before arming.
3. The LED flashes briefly every two seconds when
the CTD system is armed.
4. The LED flashes twice every two seconds when
the CTD system has sounded the alarm due to
an impact to the vehicle.
5. The LED flashes three times every two seconds
when the CTD system has sounded the alarm
due to the opening of a door or the rear
compartment.
6. The LED is off when the CTD system is off,
disarmed, or the vehicle doors are open for longer
than ten minutes.
The theft deterrent shock sensor detects impacts to
the vehicle. The shock sensor determines the level of
the impact to the vehicle and signals the BCM to
sound one of the following alarm cycles:
For low level impacts to the vehicle, the BCM
sounds the horn and flashes the park lamps twice.
For high level impacts to the vehicle, the BCM
repeatedly sounds the horn and flashes
the park lamps.

Disarm the lift window panel


- Press the panic button in order to complete
the following actions:
Silence the alarm
Keep the doors locked
Keep the alarm system activated
The alarm will deactivate after 2 minutes.
If the alarm is activated by an improper ignition
key, press any button on the remote transmitter
in order to deactivate the alarm.

System Components
Remote Control Door Lock Transmitter

The remote transmitter is the primary device to disarm


the theft deterrent system. If the vehicle has universal
theft deterrent, the remote transmitter has a panic
button. Press this button to sound the car alarm; press
it again to turn the alarm off. As with the other
functions, operation of this feature is subject to the
range of the transmitter.
Shock Sensor

The chock sensor is located near the spare tire in the


hatch area. Its sensitivity has been set to comply
with various local regulations requiring vehicle contact
to set off the alarm. It can be adjusted if more or
less sensitivity is desired. If sensitivity is increased too
much, it may give false alarms caused by gusts of
wind or other natural events that may shake the
vehicle. To adjust, remove the label covering the
adjustment knob and adjust as desired. Turn clockwise
to increase sensitivity. Turn counterclockwise to
decrease sensitivity. The red lamp on the shock sensor
illuminates at shock levels that would cause the full
(2 minute) alarm to sound. Different levels of shock are
required on the various body panels and windows to
activate the sensor, depending on the material (plastic,
steel or glass) and distance from the shock sensor.
Two levels of alarms are available through the
shock sensor.
Two horn blasts and lamp flashes for
non-threatening blow to the vehicle.
A full 2 minute alarm for harder blows to the
vehicle.
The shock sensor is ignored by the system during
ignition ON, when the rear compartment lift window
panel is open, when the alarm is disarmed, 5 seconds
after the horn sounds, or when customized to be
ignored.
Theft Ceterrent Relay

The theft deterrent relay controls the park lamps. The


BCM provides a ground path for the relay when
the theft deterrent is activated.

8-670 Theft Deterrent


The shock sensor is ignored by the BCM under any of
the following conditions:
The ignition switch is in the ON position
The rear compartment lid is open
Up to five seconds after the CTD system is armed
When feature customization is used to disable
the UTD system
When armed, the CTD system will monitor the
following to determine when to sound an alarm:
Ignition key lock cylinder
Theft deterrent shock sensor
Front side door locks
Rear compartment lid ajar indication switch
The CTD system provides vehicle security along with
the PASS-Key II Vehicle Theft Deterrent (VTD)
system by controlling the following:
Fuel enable
Starter enable
Audible alarm (horns)
Visual alarm (park lamps)

Vehicle Theft Deterrent (VTD) Description


The Personal Automotive Security System
(PASS-Key II) is standard equipment on the vehicle.
The system is designed to prevent vehicle theft by
disabling the engine unless an ignition key with
a specific electrical resistance is used in the ignition
cylinder. The PASS-Key 11 system and the universal
theft deterrent operate separately. The universal
theft deterrent system is optional. The PASS-Key 11
system includes the following components:
The ignition key
The ignition cylinder
The body control module (BCM)
The starter relay
The powertrain control module (PCM)

Vehicle Theft Deterrent (VTD) Operation


The PASS-Key 11 system is designed to prevent the
engine from starting if the proper resistance is not
sensed from the ignition key. Of the 15 key codes or
resistance values available, only one will work
with each BCM. Once the key code is programmed
into the BCM, the resistance value is stored in a
non-volatile memory.
The PASS-Key 11 system prevents the engine from
starting by controlling the starter relay and the
PCM fuel enable input. If the PCM does not sense the
proper frequency signal on the fuel enable input,
fuel will not be provided to the engine.

Body and Accessories


If the wrong resistance value is sensed when the
ignition switch is in the RUN position, the BCM will not
ground the starter enable circuit and will not output
the fuel enable signal for approximately three minutes.
The engine is prevented from starting and discourages
the thief from trying key codes or resistance values
at random.
If the correct resistance value is sensed when the
ignition switch is in the RUN position, the BCM
will ground the starter enable circuit and output the
fuel enable signal. The engine will start normally.
If the PASS-Key 11 system detects an open or short
to ground when the ignition switch is in the RUN
position, the BCM will default to fail enable. Fail enable
occurs when the proper key resistance is sensed
before the open short to ground occurs. This has to
occur for 1 minute before the fail enable is engaged.
Fail enable will illuminate the security indicator
lamp and allow the operator to stop and start the
vehicle until the problem is corrected.

System Components
Ignition Key
The ignition key for vehicles with the PASS-Key II
system is a typical square ignition key blank and
resistor. The key blank and resistor are not serviceable
separately. There are 15 different resistance values.
The ignition key also has mechanical cuts similar
to non-PASS-Key 11 ignition keys. When servicing the
PASS-Key 11 system, obtain all ignition keys, if
possible, and verify proper values using J 35628-A.

Ignition Cylinder
The ignition cylinder contains a set of electrical
contacts used to measure the resistor in the ignition
key. When servicing the cylinder, be certain to
maintain proper wire routing. A two pin connector at
the base of the steering column connects the contacts
to the vehicle wiring. The connector is also used for
diagnostic purposes.
Body Control Module (BCM)
The BCM contains the logic of the PASS-Key 11
system. The BCM has inputs from the battery, ignition
circuits, key resistor, shock sensor, door lock, jamb,
and hatch switches. The BCM has outputs to 1he
starter, and fuel enable, security lamp circuits and also
the remote hatch release. The BCM also controls
power locks, interior lamps, horn chirps and parking
lamps flashes for locking and arming functions.
Ignition Input
The ignition input is used to turn the BCM on. When
the BCM is on, it will read the resistor and control
the outputs accordingly. When the BCM is off
the resistor is not read, and the starter relay and fuel
enable output will not allow the engine to start.
When the ignition switch is in the OFF position, the
battery input to the BCM will draw about 75 milli-amps
for the first ten minutes and about 2.4 rnilli-amps
after 1O minutes of ignition off.

Body and Accessories


Key Resistor Inputs
The key resistor inputs are used to determine if the
correct ignition key is being used to start the vehicle.
The key resistor inputs are read when the ignition
is turned on. If the key code (resistance value) of the
ignition key matches the value stored in the BCM,
the starter relay and fuel enable output will allow the
vehicle to start.
Starter Enable Output
The starter enable circuit controls the starter relay.
When the BCM sees the proper resistance at
the ignition key, it grounds the starter enable circuit
which allows the engine to be started. If the BCM does
not sense the proper resistance at the ignition key,
it will not ground the starter enable circuit.
Fuel Enable Output
The fuel enable circuit is an output from the BCM and
an input to the PCM. When the BCM senses the
proper resistance at the ignition key, it will output a
signal to the PCM. If the BCM does not see the proper
resistance at the ignition key, it will not output the
signal to the PCM, the engine will start momentarily,
then stall.

Security Indicator Lamp Output


The SECURITY lamp circuit is a indicator lamp output.
The lamp output will be grounded during a 5 second
bulb test at key on, at any time that the BCM is
preventing the engine from starting, during an open or
short to ground, or in the BCM is not properly
programmed.
Starter Relay
The starter relay is used to stop the engine from
cranking if the correct resistance is not sensed at the
ignition key. It prevents the engine from cranking
by opening the circuit to the starter solenoid switch.
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
The PCM reads the fuel enable circuit to determine if
fuel injection should be allowed. If the fuel enable
signal is not present, the PCM will not allow fuel
injection and normal engine operation.

Theft Deterrent 8-671


Vehicle Theft Deterrent {VTD) Circuit
Description
Circuit Operation
PASS-Key II Vehicle Theft Deterrent (VDT) allows
the vehicle to start only when the resistance pellet of
the ignition key is recognized by the body control
module (BCM). If an incorrect resistance value is not
recognized by the BCM, the engine is prevented
from starting in two ways:
Battery voltage is disabled through the starter
relay to the starter solenoid.
The fuel injectors are disabled by the powertrain
control module (PCM).
On vehicles equipped with VDT, the BCM will initiate
an audible alarm cycle if an attempt is made to
start the vehicle with the incorrect ignition key.
Voltage is applied to the BCM through circuit 39 when
the ignition key is inserted into the ignition lock
cylinder and turned to the START position. The BCM
checks the pellet resistance of the ignition key
through circuit 1073 and 1074 and the ignition key
lock cylinder. If resistance is correct, the BCM applies
ground through circuit 625 to the starter relay coil.
The relay contacts close, applying voltage to the
starter solenoid. At the same time, the BCM applies a
fuel enable signal through circuit 229 to the
powertrain control module (PCM). The PCM then
allows the vehicle to start and run, then checks
circuit 229. If the fuel enable signal is present from the
BCM the engine continues to run. If the signal is not
present, the PCM disables the fuel injectors and the
engine stops.
If the resistor pellet is the wrong value, the BCM
disables vehicle starting for approximately 3 minutes.
The starter relay and the fuel injectors are disabled.
After the 3 minute period the vehicle can be started
with the correct ignition key.

8-672

Theft Deterrent

Security Indicator Operation


The BCM grounds the instrument cluster circuit 728
to illuminate the security indicator. The following
describes the conditions and modes of the indicator
illumination:
1. When the ignition switch is turned to the RUN
or Start position, the indicator illuminates for a
5 second bulb test.
2. When an attempt is made to start the vehicle with
an incorrect ignition key, the indicator is
illuminated for approximately 3 minutes. The
vehicle is disabled and the indicator remains
illuminated for the entire 3 minute period,
regardless of the position of the ignition switch.
3. Under any of the following conditions the indicator
will flash at a rate of once per second and the
vehicle will not start:
The resistor sensing contacts of the ignition
switch are open
Circuit 1073 or circuit 1074 are open or
shorted
4. If the ignition key resistor pellet reads infinite
(open), the vehicle is disabled and the indicator
flashes once per secdnd, however the vehicle will
start immediately if a good key is used.
5. When an unprogrammed BCM is installed, the
vehicle will start but the indicator will flash ar a
rate of once per second under these conditions:,
The resistor sensing contacts of the ignition
switch are open
Circuit 1073 or circuit 1074 are open or
shorted
If the ignition key resistor pellet reads
infinite (open)

Body and Accessories


6. Circ~it 1073 and circuit 1074 are continuously
monitored by the BCM. The indicator illuminates
If a fault is detected in either circuit 1073 or
circuit 1074 for one minute. If the fault goes away
for one minute, the indicator turns off and the
system functions normally.
7. ~f any ~f the above faults occur while the engine
1s running or when the ignition switch is turned to
the off position, the indicator turns on. The
VDT system is disabled and the BCM allows the
vehicle to start in the Fault Enable mode. The
indicator will remain on whenever the ignition
switch is in the RUN position until the fault
is corrected. The indicator remains illuminated for
approximately one minute after the fault is
corrected.

Description and Operation


Cruise Control System Description
Cruise control is a speed control system that maintains
a desired vehicle speed under normal driving
conditions. Steep grades may cause variations in the
selected speeds.
The cruise control system performs the following
functions:
Cruise
Coast
Resume speed
Accelerate
Incrementally raise or lower speeds
1.6 km/h (1 mph)
The following components are the primary components
of the cruise control system:
The functional control switches
The cruise control niodule
The vehicle speed sensor
The cruise control release switch
The stoplamp and torque converter clutch (TCC)
switch
The cruise control switches
The cruise control switch wiring harnesses
The cruise control system uses a cruise control
module in order to obtain the desired vehicle cruise
operation. The cruise control module is mounted
on the left engine compartment inner side rail. The
module contains the electronic controller and the
electric stepper motor. The cruise control module
contains a low speed limit that will prevent system
engagement below a minimum speed of 40 km/h
(25 mph). The module is not serviceable. The module
uses the following 2 important components for
cruise operation:
An electronic controller
- The controller monitors the vehicle speed.
- The controller operates the electric
stepper motor.

Body and Accessories


An electric stepper motor
- The electric stepper motor moves a ribbon
and the throttle linkage in order to maintain
the desired cruise speed.
- Movement to the ribbon and the throttle
linkage is in response the electronic
controller.
The cruise control operations are located on the
multifunction turn signal lever.
The following cruise control switches disengage the
cruise control system:
The release (brake) switch
The stoplamp and TCC switch
The clutch switch or the clutch anticipate switch
These switches are mounted on the following
components:
The brake pedal bracket
The clutch pedal bracket
When the brake pedal or clutch pedal is depressed,
the following actions occur:
The cruise control system is electrically
disengaged.
The throttle returns to the idle position.
If the vehicle is equipped with traction control
(acceleration slip regulation), the cruise control will
disengage in a low traction situation.

Cruise Control System Operation


Cruise Control Switches
The following cruise control switches disengage the
cruise control system:
The release switch
The stoplamp and TCC switch
The clutch switch or the clutch anticipate switch
These switches are mounted on the following
components:
The brake
The accelerator

Cruise Control System Circuit Description


(VS VIN G)
The electro-motor cruise control is a speed control
system that maintains a desired vehicle speed under
normal driving conditions. The system has the
capability to perform the following actions:
CRUISE
COAST
RESUME SPEED
ACCELERATE
TAP-UP
TAP-DOWN
CANCEL
The driver may cancel the cruise control by
simultaneously depressing the following buttons:
SET

RIA
The cruise control module contains the following
components:
An electronic controller
An electric motor
The controller performs the following operations:
Monitors vehicle speed
Operates the electric motor

Body and Accessories


In response to the controller, the motor moves a cable
attached to the throttle linkage in order to vary the
throttle position. This action maintains the desired
cruise speed. The cruise control module contains a low
speed limit that will prevent system engagement
below a minimum speed of approximately 25 mph.
The module is controlled by mode control switches.
The mode control switches are located on the
multi-function lever. Cruise control operation requires
that the operator set an initial speed using the
SET/COAST button before the RESUME/ACCEL
function is active.
Battery voltage is applied to terminal F of the cruise
control module when the ignition switch is in the RUN
position. When the slider switch is moved to the
ON position, battery voltage is applied to terminal A of
the cruise control module. The cruise control module
needs to receive brake input voltage at one of
the following terminals once each ignition cycle before
allowing cruise to operate:
Terminal D
Terminal G
The brake input voltage is received at the cruise
control module through the following components:
1. The A/C CRUISE Fuse 12
2. The cruise control release brake switch
3. The cruise control clutch switch on vehicles
equipped with a manual transmission
The voltage to the cruise control module terminal D is
interrupted. if either of the above switches is open.
Terminal G must see a ground path through the
CHMSL bulb in order for the cruise to operate properly.
If the brake pedal is depressed, battery voltage is
present at the module terminal G. When the slider
switch is moved to the RESUME/ACCEL position,
battery voltage is applied to terminal of the module.
With the set switch depressed, battery voltage is
present at cruise module terminal B. Cruise module
connector terminal K is the speed signal terminal.
During operation the voltage will oscillate between the
following levels:
A high of 4 to 5 volts
A low of near ground
The cruise module ground is at module terminal E.
For V6 VIN K models, refer to Cruise Control System
Circuit Description (V6 VIN K).

a wetting solution aids in lifting and positioning the
stripe or decal during installation. A wetting solution
also ensures a better bond between the stripe or decal
and the panel. Repair and refinish operations must
be completed before the stripe or decal is installed.
Freshly painted surfaces must be allowed to dry
thoroughly. Solvents in freshly painted surfaces can
lead to subsequent blistering problems if the stripe or
decal is applied before the paint is completely dry.
The striping material highlights vehicle surfaces
imperfections. All panel surface imperfections, paint
defects, and uneven twCr-tone paint break lines must
be eliminated before the stripe or decal application.
1. Remove necessary molding or trim, molding
attaching clips, handles, side marker lamps
and/or other stripe or decal overlapping parts.
2. Clean repair surfaces, adjacent panels and
openings as required.
3. Remove the stripe or decal by starting at one

Diagnostic Information and Procedures


Body Waterleak Repair

6. Inspect the windshield weatherstrip.

GM vehicles are designed to operate under


normal environmental conditions.
The design criteria for sealin materials.and
components takes into consJderation the sealing
forces required to withstand the natural elements.
These specifications cannot take into
consideration all artificial conditiohs such as high
pressure car washes.
The water leak test procedure has been correlated
to the natural .elemehts and will determine the
abilityof a vehicle to perform under normal
operating conditions.


The fir~t step in diagnosin'g a leak is determining
the conditions under which a leak occurs. If the
,
general leak area can be found, the exact
entry pbint can be isolated using a water hose or
air hose. Some trim panels or components
may need to be removed in order to repair
the leak.
A leak around a door, a rear lift window, or a roof
lift off panel does not necessarily indicate a bad
weatherstrip. An adjustment of a door, a door
window, a rear lift window panel, or a roof lift off
panel, may resolve the condition.

7. Perform a generalized water test using a test


stand this is necessary to determine where to
preform a localized test.

Generalized Testing

398230

Waterleak Test Preparation

If the leak source is not obvious the generalized test


method using water test stands should be used. Once
the general leak area is located one of the localized
test procedures can be used to pin point the leak.
Refer to Localized Testing (Spot Testing), Water Hose
Test or Air Hose Test.
1. Submit the vehicle to a water spray of 155 kPa
(22 psi) for 10 to 20 minutes.
2. When testing the windshield seal, tape off the
weatherstrip, sealing the front of the roof lift off
panel or convertible top, and set the stands so
the nozzles point approximately 30 degrees down
and 45 degrees toward the rear of the vehicle.
3. When testing the windshield header and front
body pillar weatherstrips set the stands so the
nozzles point approximately 30 degrees down
and 45 degrees toward the rear of the vehicle.
398230

1. Park the vehicle on a flat surface.


2. Inspect the fit of the door glass to the
weatherstrips.
3. Inspect the fit of the removable roof panel, if
equipped to the body.
4. Inspect the fit of the convertible top, if equipped to
the body.
5. Inspect the joint of the roof side weatherstrip to
the A-pillar and the B-pillar weatherstrip.

4. When testing the side of the vehicle set the stands


so the nozzles point approximately 30 degrees
down and 45 degrees toward the rear of the
vehicle.
5. When testing the rear window and rear
compartment lid set the stands 600 mm (24 in)
from the corner of the rear window with the
nozzles pointing approximately 30 degrees down
and 30 degrees toward the front of the vehicle.

1. Remove any trim that might obstruct your view.


95572

1. Begin the test at the base of the suspected area


and continue up slowly until the leak is located.

2. Have a helper inside the vehicle to detect the


actual leak point.
3. Use a hose with no nozzle (unrestricted
water flow).

95574

2. Pinpoint the leak area before any repair is made.


Random repair may only temporarily restrict water
entry and make future diagnosis and repair
more difficult.
3. Continue localized testing in the same general
area in order to confirm that all of the leaks
have been located.

95576

4. When water testing weatherstrips:


Aim the water so that the water falls only on
the window side or only on the body panel
side of a weatherstrip, or tape across the
weatherstrip between the body panel and the
weatherstrip.
Remove the tape and test again. This will help
in determining whether the leak is between
the weatherstrip and the window or between
the weatherstrip and the retainer.

Notice: The air hose test should only be used on fully
cured urethane adhesive. Otherwise, damage to
the urethane adhesive bead could result in
additional leaks.

95574

1. Apply soapy water to the outside of the suspected


leak area.
2. Apply air pressure using an air hose from inside
of the vehicle.
Do not exceed 205 kPa (30 psi) of air pressure.
Do not apply air pressure unless the urethane
has completely cured.

1. Dust will leak into the vehicle where water will not.
This particularly happens in the lower portion of
the vehicle's interior.
2. Forward motion of the vehicle can create a slight
vacuum which pulls air and dust inside the
vehicle.
3. To determine the location of the dust leaks,
perform the following steps:
3.1. Remove the floor mats.
3.2. Drive the vehicle on a dusty road.
3.3. Examine the interior.
Dust in the shape of a small cone or slit will
usually be found at the point of leakage.
3.4. Mark the points of leakage.
3.5. Shine bright lamps on the underside of the
floor and cowl.
The interior should be darkened when
performing this step.
3.6. Have an assistant check the inside of the
vehicle for any points where the light shines
through.
3.7. Mark the leakage points.
3.8. Check the welded joints.

Weatherstrip Waterleak Repair


Removal Procedure
Before removing the weatherstrip attempt to repair the
water leak by adjusting or shimming, the weatherstrip,
door, door glass, folding top, or the panel.
If the weatherstrip is removed the weatherstrip should
be replaced.
1. Pull the weatherstrip from the retainer while
cutting through the adhesive with a spatula.
Most weatherstrips are bonded to the retainers
with adhesive.
Try not to tear the weatherstrip, keeping the
weatherstrip intact aids in removal.
2. Remove all the old adhesive from the retainer or
remove the retainer.
Important: Most retainers are backed with foam
sealing tape. To avoid scratching an acrylic roof panel
do not use a scraper to remove the foam sealing
tape adhesive from the panel.

Air/Wind Noise

Body and Accessories

Air/Wind Noise

Diagnostic Information and Procedures


Air/Wind Noise
Caution: An assistant should drive the vehicle
while the technician checks for the location of the
reported condition. Otherwise, personal injury
could result.
To analyze a reported windnoise condition, test drive
the vehicle to determine the origin of the noise.
Choose a regular route for the road test. The road
should consist of smooth and straight streets that run
in all 4 directions, North, South, East, and West.
The area should have little traffic or little noise
to eliminate interference with the test.
Important: Often there is one primary leak source and
one or more secondary leaks that contribute to the
noise condition. Repairing only one of the contributing
leak sources may not completely repair the total
condition but only reduce the condition.
The following are four common methods for diagnosing
wind noise:
The vehicle will be driven at the speed in which the
customer noticed the noise, or until the noise is heard.
Maintain safe and legal speeds.
Many of the waterleak diagnosis tests are also used
for the windnoise diagnosis.
Most of the windnoise is caused by either leaking
seals or misaligned body surfaces. The following are
three basic types of wind noise:
Whistle
Roar
Rush
When moving at highway speeds, air pressure inside
the vehicle becomes significantly greater than the
air pressure outside. When a leak occurs, the escaping
air causes a hiss or a whistle.
Wind roar occurs when air passes over or through an
opening between the two body surfaces. To correct
the condition, adjust the alignment to the body
surfaces.
Wind rush occurs when air passes over the vehicle's
body, and is related to the aerodynamics of the
vehicle. Wind whistle and wind roar are serviceable.
Rule out wind whistle and wind roar before concluding

that the wind noise is due to wind rush.

Diagnose wind whistle or wind roar using the following


procedure:
1. Note the detail for wind noise:
The perceived location
The location where the noise is the loudest
When the noise occurs
The vehicle speed
The interior fan speed
The position of the windows.
What the noise sounds like
2. Inspect the vehicle for the possible cause of the
windnoise.
3. Test drive the vehicle and determine if the
windnoise is external or internal.
4. Perform a visual inspection of the following
components:
Loose fasteners
Torn weatherstrips
Broken weld joints
Sealer and/or adhesive skips

Tracing Powder or Chalk Test

Clean the weatherstrips and the contact surfaces with


cleaning solvent.
1. Apply powder or calk in an unbroken line to the
contact surface of the weatherstrip surrounding
the perimeter of the suspected areas. Ensure that
the areas are free of chalk or powder.
2. Close the panel completely without slamming the
panel. Closing the panel completely presses the
weatherstrip firmly against the mating surface.
3. Inspect the applied line on the weatherstrip. The
applied line is marred where contact is good. A
corresponding imprint is on the mating sur1aces.
4. Gaps or irregularities in the powder or the chalk
line on the mating surfaces indicate the areas
with a poor seal.

Exterior Windnoise
Notice: If masking the grille or headlamp bezel areas,
care must be taken not to restrict airflow. Restricting
airflow can cause vehicle overheating.
Exterior windnoise is louder when the vehicle is driven
with one or more windows down. Exterior windnoise
occurs when air passes over the body panels,
the seams, or the openings. Use the following items
during the test drive in order to aid in the
detection of leaks.
Mechanic's stethoscope or heater hose
Masking tape 51 mm (2 in) in width
Strip caulk
China marking pencil
1. While driving, determine the location of the
exterior windnoise by lowering one window
at a time. If the location corresponds with the
condition in step 2, pull .over and make a
temporary repair with 51 mm (2 in) wide

Diagnostic Information and Procedures


Squeaks and Rattles
Unwanted noises are usually caused by improperly
controlled relativ~ motion between components. There
are four means to prevent noises after component
replacement or repair.
Attach the components securely so there is no
relative motion during operation.
Separate the components so there is no contact
under normal operating conditions.
Insulate the components so no sound occurs with
relative motion between the surfaces.
Provide a low friction surface to eliminate a stick
slip motion.

3. Foam strips are to be installed 1.0 to 3.0 mm


inboard from the glass interface edge of the
inlet screen
A single (10 in x 1 in) foam strip added to the
interference, may be sufficient.
Or, two strips may be required:
Foam strips are to butted together at the
center where the left and right inlet screens
interlock.
- Right side foam strip length is
955 mm (37.60 in).
- Left side foam strip length is
1055 mm (41.54 in).

Noise Description

Noises are listed in this section under the area of the


vehicle they are perceived to be coming from, not
necessarily where the noise ordinates. There may be
duplications .since a single noise may be perceived
to be coming from multiple areas of the vehicl.e.
Under each noise is listed the problem {symptom),
possible cause, and corrective action {diagnosis and
repair). if disassembly is required, a reference is
given to the section in the manual describing
the process.
When disassembly is required to gain access to the
source of the noise, it is advisable to correct other
possible noises in that general area before
reassembly.

This information is a guide to some of the more


common problems that have been experienced but not
a substitute for the user's powers of perception.
There is no substitute for a good set of ears.
To communicate a noise, words must be used. Many
different words can be used to describe a noise.
The noise description table lists noises and their

71185

1. Start the engine.


2. Activate the rear window defogger system.
3. Ground one test lamp lead.

Important: The lamp brilliance will decrease


proportionately to the increased resistance in the grid
line as the probe is moved from the feed bus wire
to the ground bus wire. Test all of the grid lines in at
least two places in order to eliminate the possibility
of bridging a break. The range of test lamp brilliance
may vary from one window to another.
If the test lamp shows full brilliance at both
ends of the grid lines, inspect for a loose
ground wire contact to body ground.
If an abnormal lamp reading is apparent on a
specific grid line, place the test lamp lead on
that grid at the feed bus bar and move the lead
toward the ground bus bar until the lamp
goes out. This will indicate the location of
the break.

Window Polishing
Minor Scratch and Abrasion Removal
1. Remove or reduce minor scratches and abrasions
by following the polishing procedure.
2. Take precautions in order to prevent distortions of
vision.
3. Double vision may result if an attempt is made to
remove deep scratches. Do not remove deep
scratches from an area in the driver's line
of vision. Replace the glass.
4. The following procedure was developed using a

cerium oxide compound. Following the


manufacturer's directions when any other
materials are used.

Recommended Equipment

264840

A low speed (600 - 130 RPM) rotary polisher.


A wool felt, rotary polishing pad 7 mm (3 in)
in diameter and 51 mm (2 in) thick.
Powered cerium oxide mixed with water. This is
the abrasive compound.

Polishing Procedure
1. Mix at least 44 ml (1.5 oz) of the cerium oxide
compound with enough water to obtain a
creamy consistency.
If the mixture is too thick it will cake on the felt
pad more quickly.
If the mixture is too runny, more polishing time
will be required.
2. Draw a circle around the scratches on the
opposite side of the glass with marking crayon or
equivalent.
3. Draw a line directly behind the scratches in order
to serve as a guide for locating the scratch while
polishing.
4. Cover the surrounding area with masking paper in
order to catch the drippings or splattered polish.
5. Dip the felt pad attached to the polisher into the
mixture.
Do not submerge the pad.
Do not allow the pad to stay in the mixture as

Description and Operation


Adhesive Service Kit Description

Extended Method Description

The GM Adhesive Caulking Kit P/N 10952983 contains


the following items:
2 different primers
A urethane adhesive with a nozzle
Daubers
Instructions with warnings
Use the urethane adhesive caulking kit for the
following procedures:
Replacement of any urethane adhesive-installed
window using the short method
Replacement of any urethane adhesive-installed
window using the extended method
You may use an equivalent urethane adhesive system
if the system meets GM Specification GM 3651M.
Always follow the system manufacturer's instructions
for application, handling, and curing.

Use the extended method when the original urethane


adhesive bead left on the window opening pinchweld
flange (after window removal) cannot serve as a
base for the new window, or in any case where the
use of the short method is in doubt.
This method includes the following cases:
The replacement of a majority of the urethane
adhesive bead, where a thin film of the original
bead remains
Applying pinchweld primer to any exposed painted
areas on the pinchweld flange
No mounds or loose pieces of urethane adhesive
should remain on the pinchweld flange. Do not remove
all traces of urethane adhesive.

Short Method Description


Use the short method where the original urethane
adhesive bead left on the window opening pinchweld
flange (after window removal) can serve as a base
for the new window. This method uses a small bead of
urethane adhesive in order to adhere the window in
the opening to the original urethane adhesive bead.
Use the short method when the original bead of
urethane adhesive meets one of the following
conditions:
Intact, without portions of the bead missing
Solidly adhered to the pinchweld flange with no
corrosion present on the flange
Uniform in shape. Smooth, without multiple cuts or
loose material present
Also use the short method under the following
conditions:
When repainting of the opening or collision
repair/sheet metal replacement is not required.
When urethane adhesive deterioration is
not evident (no powdery residue).

Important:
If corrosion of the pinchweld flange is present, or
if sheet metal repairs or replacements are
required, refinish the pinchweld flange in order to
present a clean, primer-only surface.
If paint repairs are required, mask the flange
bonding area (prior to applying the color coat) in
order to provide a clean, primer-only surface.
Appropriate materials for these primer applications
are typically two component catalyzed products
such as BASF DE17, DUPONT 2610, PPG DP90,
or an equivalent Follow the manufacturer's
directions for the mix, the application, and the
drying times.
After repairing the opening as indicated, shake the
pinchweld primer #3 (black) well. Using a new
dauber, apply the primer to the primed surface of
the flange in the bonding area. Allow the primer
to dry for 1O minutes.
Use the extended method of replacement and the
appropriate urethane bead size when installing
the window.

Stationary Window Description


Most stationary windows, specifically windshields, are
retained to the body with urethane adhesive which
adheres the window to the body. This increases
structural integrity. The reinstallation of the windows
with urethane adhesive requires either partial or
complete replacement of the urethane adhesive bead:
The short method (also known as short cut or
close cut) is the partial replacement.
The extended method (also known as long
method, full strip, or full cut) is the complete
replacement.

Reveal Molding Description

Rear Window Defogger Circuit Description

The re\Jeal molding for the windshield and rear


window are a vinyl trim that fits between the edge of
the window and the body. The reveal moldings
are hand pressed into place. The reveal moldings are
retained with urethane adhesive. Trim the reveal
molding if needed for certain applications. Trim the
reveal moldings as needed to allow room for both the
molding and urethane adhesive to fit in the cavity
between the window and the body.

Voltage is applied at all times from the DEFOG/SEATS


CKT BRKR 12, circuit 1240, to the rear defogger
timer/relay. When the ignition switch is turned to the
RUN position voltage is appplied by the HVAC Fuse 6,
circuit 241, to the rear defogger switch and the rear
defogger timer/relay. Ground is provided at all times to
the rear defogger switch and the rear defogger
timer/relay through G200, circuit 650.

Rear Window Defogger Description


The rear window defogger system consists of the
following components:
A tinted glass
The tinted glass has a number of horizontal
ceramic silver compound lines.
Two vertical bus bars
The bus bars are baked into the inside surface
during the glass forming operation.
The feed wire terminal is soldered to the bus bar on
the left side. The ground wire terminal is soldered
to the bus bar on the right side. This system operates
on battery voltage. Heat from the window may not
be detected by finger touch. The length of time
required in order to remove interior fog from the rear
window will very with the following conditions:
Vehicle speed
Outside window temperature
Atmospheric pressure
Number of passengers inside the vehicle
This system uses a switch with an integral indicator
lamp. After 5 to 10 minutes of system operation,
an automatic timer will automatically turn the system
off. Turn one of the following switches to OFF in order
to turn off the system during the operating period.
Defogger switch
Ignition switch

Rear Window Defogger Operation


The rear window defogger system consists of the
following components:

The feed terminal (+) and the ground terminal (-) are
soldered to the bus bar.

Stationary Windows

Rear Defogger Operation


When the rear defogger switch is pressed, voltage is
momentarily applied to the solid state device within
the rear defogger timer/relay through circuit 292. Along
with this, voltage is also supplied through circuit 241
and ground through circuit 650 to the solid state
device. When all three of these inputs occur the solid
state device provides a ground to the solenoid
within the rear defogger timer/relay. Voltage is supplied
at all times to the solenoid through the DEFOG/SEATS
CKT BRKR 12, circuit 1240. When the ground is
applied to the solenoid the switch contact within the
rear defogger timer/relay closes providing voltage
to the rear defogger grid through circuit 293. The rear
defogger grid receives ground at all times through
G310, circuit 1150 (coupe) or G320, circuit 1750
(convertible). When the rear defogger grid receives
voltage through circuit 293 the rear defogger operates.
The rear defogger timer/relay contains an internal
timer in order to control the time the internal contacts
are closed. The defog cycle lasts 10 minutes when
the ignition switch is turned to the RUN position
and the rear defogger switch is pressed for the
first time.
When the rear defogger switch is pressed again after
the 10 minute time out, the rear defogger will run
in a 5 minute defog cycle. This rear defogger will run
at 5 minute cycles each time the rear defogger
switch is pressed until the ignition switch is turned to
the OFF position and then back to the RUN
position. The defog cycle will then reset to the original
10 minutes.
Rear Defogger On Indicator
Ground is always supplied to the rear defogger switch
on indicator through G200 circuit 650. When the
switch contact within the rear defogger timer/relay
closes voltage is not only provided to the rear defogger
grid through circuit 293, but to the on indicator in
the rear defogger switch. When this voltage is applied
the indicator turns on and stays on until the rear
defogger is shut off or turns off after the 1O minute
cycle. The indicator will turn and remain on as long as
the rear defogger is running. The on indicator turns
off when the rear defogger turns off.

Description and Operation

Body Front End Description

Lubrication

The hood is composed of 2-sided galvanized steel,


except in 2-28 SS and Trans Arn WS6 packages
in which cases the hoods are fiberglass. Rigidity is
obtained by the use of reinforcement braces and
brackets located so no interference with the adjustment
or service repair hood wiH occur. The hood primary
latch is attached to the hood primary latch support.
The front fenders are composed of reinforced rel;lction
injection molded (RRIM) urethane. The front fenders
attach to the both the unibody structure and the
wheelhouse panels.

For lubrication of the hood hinges, hood latch release


pawl, hood latch and pivots, headlamp door, etc.,
refer to Maintenance and Lubrication.

Anti-Corrosion Materials
Anti-corrosion materials are part of the coating on
most metal panels to provide rust resistance. When
servicing these panels, use only GM replacement parts
and recoat with specified service primers and paints.

Power Door Locks Circuit Description

Removal Procedure

Important: Power door locks are controlled by


the body control module (BCM). The BCM contains
the Retained Accessory Power (RAP) subsystem. The
RAP subsystem allows the door locks to operate for
10 minutes after the ignition is turned off and
both of the doors remain closed. The RAP subsystem
also allows the door locks to operate for 35 seconds
after exiting the vehicle and closing the doors.
The door locks are enabled whenever either door is
open unless the ignition key is in the ignition and
the lockout prevention feature is enabled. Refer
to retained accessory power for a complete
understanding of RAP operation.
Both door lock actuators lock or unlock when either
door lock switch is pressed. The locks are operated by
reversible actuators. The door lock switches operate
the actuators by applying a ground input signal to
the BCM. The BCM then commands the actuators to
lock or unlock. When the right door lock switch or
the left door lock switch is moved to the lock position,
the BCM applies battery voltage to both actuators
through circuit 295. The actuators are grounded by the
BCM through circuit 694 and circuit 1663. When the
right door lock switch or the left door lock switch
is moved to the unlock position, the BCM applies
battery voltage to the actuators through circuit 694 and
circuit 1663. Both of the actuators are grounded by
the BCM through circuit 295. The ground is supplied to
the BCM by G200 through circuit 650.

Description and Operation


Power Windows Circuit Description
Important: The power windows system has voltage
applied by the Windows circuit breaker. The body
control module (BCM) contains the Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) subsystem. The RAP
subsystem allows the windows to operate for
10 minutes after the ignition is turned off or until a
door is opened. Refer to retained accessory power for
a complete understanding of RAP operation.
With the ignition switch in the RUN or ACCY position
or the BCM in the RAP mode, voltage is applied
to the Windows circuit breaker. Circuit 341 applies the
voltage from the Windows circuit breaker to the left
side window switch, right side window switch and the
power window control module. The front side door
window motors and the switches are grounded
by circuit 750 and G200 through the left switch. The
right window can be operated from the right and
left switches. The left window can only be operated
from the left switch. The windows are driven by
reversible motors. Each window is controlled by a
switch that is normally closed to ground. When
any switch is moved to the up position, battery voltage
is applied to the window motor through circuit 164
or circuit 666. The motor is grounded through
circuit 165 or circuit 667. When any switch is moved
to the down position the voltage polarity at the window
motor is reversed. Battery voltage is applied to the
motor through circuit 165 or circuit 667. The motor is
grounded through circuit 164 or circuit 666.
Each window motor contains an internal electronic
circuit breaker. If a window switch is held in the up or
down position after the window is fully opened or
closed, the circuit breaker opens to stop the motor.
The circuit breaker also opens to stop the window
when the window becomes obstructed during
operation. The circuit breaker resets when the
voltage to the motor is interrupted.
Express Down Feature
The power window system also includes an express
down feature. The feature allows the left window
to open completely when the left window switch is
momentarily pressed in the down position. All of
the solid state circuitry for the express down feature is
contained in the power window control module.

Door Lock Feature Customization

The body control module (BCM) can be programmed


to customize the power door lock operation. The
two programmable functions are described below.
Refer body control systems for BCM programming
information.
Last Door Closed Locking
The last door closed locking feature allows delayed
door locking on all vehicles equipped with power door
locks. This feature assures that all vehicle doors
are locked after the driver and all passengers have
exited the vehicle. When the driver door lock switch is
pressed, an audible warning tone sounds three
times to indicate that the last door closed locking
function is initiated. The doors lock automatically,
three seconds after both doors are closed. Pressing
the door lock switch to the unlock position after
the warning tones cancels the last door closed locking
function. Pressing the door lock switch to the lock
position twice locks the doors immediately. The last
door closed locking function does not work if the
ignition key is in the ignition switch and the lockout
prevention feature is enabled. The last door closed
locking feature is disabled from the factory. Refer
to body control systems to enable the last door closed
locking feature.

Body and Accessories

Lockout Prevention
The lockout prevention feature prevents the driver
from locking the ignition key in the vehicle. The power
door locks are disabled with the ignition key in the
ignition and a door open. When t_he door l?ck switch is
pressed with a door open an audible wa_rn,~~ sounds
five times as a reminder to remove the 1grnt1on
key. The lockout prevention feature is disabled from
the factory. Refer to body control systems to
enable the lockout prevention feature.

Power Mirrors Circuit Description


Chevrolet
Each outside rearview mirror has two reversible
motors. One motor adjusts the mirror up and down.
The other motor adjusts the mirror left and right.
The motors are controlled by the outside rearview
mirror switch. The outside rearview mirror switch
consists of two different switches. The mirror select
switch is used to select the mirror to be adjusted. The
mirror position switch controls the movement of the
selected mirror.
The power mirror system has voltage applied by the
PWR ACCY fuse through circuit 640 to the outside
rearview mirror switch. When the left mirror is selected
with the select switch, the mirror position switch
controls the left mirror. When the position switch is
pressed to the up position, voltage is applied through
circuit 88 to the up/down motor of the left mirror.
Ground is applied from G200 through circuit 750, the
outside rearview mirror switch and circuit 82 to the
up/down motor. The left mirror moves up. Wh~~
the position switch is pressed to the down pos1t1on,
voltage is applied through circuit 82 to the up/down
motor of the left mirror. Ground is applied through
circuit 88 to the up/down motor. The voltage polarity to
the left mirror is reversed and the mirror moves
down. The left/right motor of the left mirror operates
similar to the up/down motor. When the position switch
is pressed to the left position, voltage is applied
through circuit 82 to the left/right motor of the left
mirror. Ground is applied through circuit 81 to
the left/right motor. The left mirror moves to the left.
When the position switch is pressed to the right
position, voltage is applied through circuit 81 to the
right/left motor of the left mirror. Ground is applied
through circuit 82 to the right/left motor. The voltage
polarity to the left mirror is reversed and the mirror
moves to the right.
The right mirror operates the same way when the
mirror select switch is moved to the right position.

Doors 8-897
Each mirror motor contains an internal electronic
circuit breaker. If a mirror position switch is held in the
up/down position or the left/right position after the
mirror movement stops, the circuit breaker opens to
protect the motor. The circuit breaker also opens
to stop the motor if the mirror becomes obstructed
during operation. The circuit breaker resets when the
voltage to the motor is interrupted.

the left mirror is reversed and the mirror moves
down. The left/right motor of the left mirror operates
similar to the up/down motor. When the position switch
is pressed to the left position, voltage is applied
through circuit 82 to the left/right motor of the left
mirror. Ground is applied through circuit 81 to
the left/right motor. The left mirror moves to the left.
When the position switch is pressed to the right
position, voltage is applied through circu!t 81 t~ the
right/left motor of the left mirror. Ground 1s applied
through circuit 82 to the right/left motor. The V?ltage
polarity to the left mirror is reversed and the mirror
moves to the right.
The right mirror operates the same way when the
mirror select switch is moved to the right position.
Each mirror motor contains an internal electronic circuit
breaker. If a mirror position switch is held in the
up/down position or the left/right position after the
mirror movement stops, the circuit breaker opens to

Description and Operation

Power Folding Top Circuit Description


Important:
The folding top pump assembly has voltage
applied from the WINDOWS CKT BAKR 30A. The
WINDOWS CKT BAKR 30A is controlled by the
Retained Accessory Power (RAP) module.
For a complete understanding of the RAP
operation, refer to Retained Accessory Power
Circuit Description in Body and Accessories.
Do not attempt to operate the power folding top
unless the vehicle is parked.
Release all of the latches before lowering the
power folding top.
Re-engage all latches after raising the power
folding top.
Voltage is applied from WINDOWS CKT BAKR 30A to
the folding top switch through circuit 341 when the
ignition switch is in RUN, ACCY or the vehicle in in the
RAP mode.
The folding top pump assembly receives the ground
through the folding top switch, which is grounded
through G201, circuit 1550.
There is also a folding top relay option which also
provides ground to the folding top switch. The folding
top relay receives voltage from the WINDOWS
CKT BAKR 30A through circuit 341.

The relay receives ground through circuit 816/434


from the park neutral position switch in the PARK or
NEUTRAL position, circuit 451, and G110. As
long as the vehicle is in PARK or NEUTRAL, ground
is provided to the relay. With power and ground to
the relay the solenoid within is energized closing the
internal switch. This allows ground from G201,
circuit 1350 to the folding top switch. This feature
allows the folding top to only open and close when the
vehicle is in the PARK or NEUTRAL position.
The folding top pump is driven by a reversible
permanent-magnet motoL T.he motor is controlled by
the folding top switch, which is normally closed to
the ground. When the folding top switch is moved to
the UP position, battery voltage is provided to the
folding top pump assembly through circuit 162.
The folding top pump assembly will receive ground
through circuit 163. This action will drive the .
power folding top to close. When the switch is
released, the switch contacts will return to their normal
grounded position.
Operation of opening the power folding top is identical
as described above except voltage is applied
through circuit 163 and ground through circuit 162.

Description and Operation


Power Lumbar Circuit Description
Each seat incorporates a power inflate/deflate system
which alters the shape of the seat using air bladders.
Both power seats operate utilizing the power seat
cushion air control module and pump assembly. The
power seat cushion air control module and pump
assembly are mounted under the passenger seat. A
seat jumper harness from the passenger seat connects
the circuitry and the bladder tubing to the driver seat.
Driver Lumbar Support
The solenoids and relays within the power seat
cushion air control modul~ are grounded from
G305 circuit 1450. Voltage is supplied at all times
to both of the lumbar inflator switches from the
DEFOG/SEATS Circuit Breaker 12
through CKT 1240. The driver and passenger
lumbar inflator switch has 2 switches on it. One
switch inflates and deflates the lumbar support.
The other switch inflates and deflates the
side bolster support. When the driver lumbar
inflator switch, lumbar switch, is pressed to the
inflate position voltage is supplied through
the switch, through circuit 904n66 to the solenoid
within the power seat cushion air control
module. Simultaneously battery voltage is applied
to the inflate relay within the power seat cushion
air control module. The power seat cushion
air control module inflate relay closes applying
power to the pump assembly motor in the inflate
direction. The other side of the motor is
grounded through G305. When the pressure
switch inside the power seat cushion air control
module senses a bladder full/empty condition, the
ground to the solenoid valve is electrically
opened. In response, the power seat cushion air
control module shuts off the pump by opening
the ground to the inflate relay until the driver
lumbar inflator switch, lumbar switch, is released.
Operation of the driver bolster support and
the passenger lumbar switch is identical to the
driver lumbar switch.

Power Seats Circuit Description


There are 3 reversible motors operating the
power seats:
The Forward/Back Motor
The forward/back motor moves the entire seat
forward and back.
The front height motor
The front height motor tilts the front of seat.
The rear height motor
The rear height motor tilts the rear of the seat.
The front and rear height motors can be operated
at the same time.
When the middle of the power seat switch is
moved up or down, the front and rear height
motors move the entire seat up and down.

Motor Operation
All circuits leading to all three motors are grounded
at all times from G305. When the forward position
on the power seat switch is pressed, voltage is
supplied from the DEFOG/SEATS Circuit
Breaker 12 through circuit 1240, the power seat
switch forward position, circuit 285 to the
forward/back motor. The motor is grounded from
G305, circuit 1450, the power seat switch,
and circuit 284. This drives the motor forward.
When the back position is pressed on the power
seat switch, voltage is now applied through
circuit 284 and ground is provided through
circuit 285. This reversed polarity causes the
motor to run in the opposite direction. Operation
of the individual front and rear heights operate
identical to that of the forward/back motor.
The front and rear heights can be operated at the
same time through the power seat switch. When
the middle of the power seat switch is pressed
to the up position, voltage is supplied from
the DEFOG/SEATS Circuit Breaker 12 through
circuit 1240, the power seat switch,
circuits 282 and 286 to both motors. Both motors
are grounded from G305, circuit 1450, the
power seat switch and circuits 283 and 287.
This drives both motors. The down position has
identical operation to the up position except
for reversing power and ground.
Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB)
Each motor contains an Electronic Circuit
Breaker (ECB).
When the motor is overloaded the ECB resistance
increases until opening.
When the overload is removed the ECB closes
and resistance returns to normal.

Front Seats Description


Front Seat
The front seats are bucket seats.
The driver and the front passenger seats have the
following features:
Inertia seatback locks
Manual seatback recliners
Manual seatback adjuster
For the driver's seat only, the following features can
be ordered:
A 4-way manual seat adjuster
A 6-way power seat adjuster
Also, both driver and front passenger seats can be
ordered as pneumatic seats. Pneumatic seats have an
adjustable thigh support. For Pontiac only, inflatable
lumbar and lateral support bladders can be ordered.
The seatback and the cushion have formed foam pads
that fit the contours of the seatback and the seat
cushion frames.

Seats

Body and Accessories

Front Seatback

Lift the reclining control handle in order to change the


seatback angle. Lifting the recliner control handle
releases the lock bars and lets the seatback pivot
forward and rearward. Releasing the recliner control
handle lets the cam plate move counterclockwise. This
causes the lock bar teeth to lock the seatback in a
new position. The recliner control handle should return
automatically to its original position.

8-1022

Bucket seats have a tubular frame seatback and a


standard manual seatback recliner. The recliner control
is mounted on the outboard side of the seat. The
recliner control operates the seatback angle. The inner
hinge arm bolt acts as a pivot point for the seatback.
The recliner control has an inertia seatback lock
that lets the occupant move the seatback without
the lever.
The inertia seatback lock locks the seatback. Use the
emergency release lever in order to move the
seatback if the following conditions occur:
If the vehicle stops or slows suddenly
If the vehicle is declined 20 degrees or more

Rear Seats Description


The rear seat construction in the Camaro and Firebird
vehicles consists of a solid bench type seatback
with individual seat bottom cushions separated by the
driveline tunnel. Both the rear seat back and the
individual seat bottom cushions are fastened to the
vehicle with steel loop-type fasteners and bolts. Each
of the cushions and the seatback can be serviced
individually.

Cleaning Vinyl Trim


Use warm water and a clean cloth.
1. Rub with a clean, damp cloth to remove dirt. You
may have to do it more than once.
2. Things like tar, asphalt, and shoe polish will stain
if you dont get them off quickly. Use a clean cloth
and a vinyl/leather cleaner. See your dealer for
this product.

Cleaning Leather Trim


Use a soft cloth with lukewarm water and a mild soap
or saddle soap and wipe dry with a soft cloth. Then,
let the leather dry naturally. Do not use heat of
any kind to dry.
For stubborn stains, use a leather cleaner. See
your dealer for this product.
Never use oils, varnishes, solvent-based or
abrasive cleaners, furniture polish or shoe polish
on leather.
Soiled or stained leather should be cleaned
immediately. If dirt is allowed to work into
the finish, it can harm and permanently discolor
the leather surface.

8-1040 Interior Trim


Cleaning the Headliner
Removal Procedure
The following items are required in order to clean the
headliner panel:
GM P/N 1051398 fabric cleaning solvent for
coated fabrics or equivalent
Hand gloves
Clean cloths
A knife, scrapper, or equivalent in order to remove
any loose soil from the headliner panel.
1. Scrape the.heavy soil off the headliner panel. Use
care not to force the soil further into the headliner.
2. Soak a clean cloth in solvent, wring out, and allow

the cloth to partially dry.

Important: Move the pad periodically in order to keep


a clean area of the cloth over the coiled spot.
3. Dab the soiled area with the damp cloth pad. Do
not rub the area.

Cleaning Agents
Remember, cleaning products can be hazardous.
Some are toxic. Others can burst into flame if
you strike a match or get them on a hot part of the
vehicle. Some are dangerous if you breathe their
fumes in a closed space. When you use anything from
a container to clean a vehicle, be sure to follow the
manufacturers warnings and instructions. And always
open your doors or windows when you're cleaning
the interior.
Gasoline
Benzene
Naptha
Carbon Tetrachloride
Acetone
Paint Thinner
Turpentine
Lacquer Thinner
Nail Polish Remover
They can all be hazardous, some more than others,
and they can all damage the vehicle if used. In
addition, dont use alcohol, laundry soap, bleach, and
reducing agents as they can also damage the
vehicle.

Cleaning of Fabric Trim


For cleaning fabric trim, Multi-Purpose Interior Cleaner
and Capture Non-Solvent Dry Spot and Soil Remover
is recommended. They will clean normal spots
and stains very well. You can get GM-approved
cleaning products from your dealer parts supply. Here
are some cleaning tips:
Always read the instructions on the cleaner label.
Clean up stains as soon as you can, before
they set.
Carefully scrape off any excess staining liquid.

Body and Accessories


Use a clean cloth or sponge, and change to a
clean area often. A soft brush may be used if
stains are stubborn.
If a ring forms on fabric after spot cleaning, clean
the entire area immediately or it will set.

Cleaning Glass Surfaces


Glass should be cleaned often. GM Glass Cleaner or
a liquid household glass cleaner will remove normal
tobacco smoke and dust films on interior glass.
Dont use abrasive cleaners on glass because they
may cause scratches. Avoid placing decals on
the inside rear window, since they may have to be
scraped off later. If abrasive cleaners are used on the
inside of the rear window, an electronic defogger
element may be damaged. Any temporary license
should not be attached across the defogger grid.

Removal of Specific Stains


Special Fabric Cleaning Problems
Stains caused by such things as catsup, coffee
(black), egg, fruit, milk, soft drinks, vomit, urine, and
blood can be removed as follows:
Carefully scrape off excess stain, then sponge the
soiled area with cool water.
If a stain remains, follow the multi-purpose interior
cleaner instructions described earlier.
If an odor lingers after cleaning vomit or urine,
treat the area with a water/baking soda solution:
1 teaspoon (5 ml) of baking soda to 1 cup (250 ml)
of lukewarm water.
Let dry.
Stains caused by candy, ice cream, mayonnaise, chili
sauce and unknown stains can be removed as
follows:
1. Vacuum and brush the area to remove any dirt..
2. Always clean a whole trim panel or section.
Mask surrounding trim along stich or welt lines.
3. Mix powdered cleaner following the directions on
the container label to form thick suds.
4. Use suds only and apply with a clean sponge.
Don't saturate the material and don't rub it
roughly.
5. As soon as you've cleaned the section, use a
sponge to remove the suds.
6. Wipe cleaned area with a clean, damp towel
or cloth.
7. Wipe with a clean cloth and let dry.

Body Rear End Description


This section contains the service operations necessary
for the removal, installation, and adjustment of rear
end components. Information relating to liftgate glass

Rear Compartment Lid Release Circuit


Description
Circuit Operation
The rear compartment lid release relay is controlled by
the body control module (BCM). The rear compartment
lid release is operated by pressing the rear
compartment lid release switch inside the vehicle
when the ignition switch is in the ACCY or RUN
position.
Battery voltage is applied at all times from the PWR
ACCY Fuse through circuit 640 to the normally
open contacts of the rear compartment lid release
relay from PWR ACCY Fuse 7.

When the rear compartment lid release switch is


pressed, ground is applied from G200 through circuit
650, the switch and circuit 1576 to the rear
compartment lid release signal input of the BCM. The
BCM then applies voltage through circuit 253 to
the rear compartment lid release relay coil.
Ground is applied to the relay coil through circuit 33 or
circuit 816 under either of the following conditions:
For automatic transmission, the park neutral
position switch is in (P) Park or (N) Neutral
For manual transmission, the park brake switch is
closed
The normally open relay contacts close and voltage i~
applied from the relay through circuit 56 to the rear
compartment lid release actuator. Ground is applied to
the actuator from G400 through circuit 1550 and the
rear compartment opens.
The rear compartment lid release actuator contains an
electronic circuit breaker (ECB). The ECB resistance
increases if the motor is overloaded. Resistance
returns to normal after the voltage is removed from
the actuator terminals.

(2 in) wide, which can be cut from leftover
pieces of SMC.
5. Apply a thin coat of Goodwrench Structural
Bonding Epoxy GM P/N 12345726, or equivalent,
to the entire joint area extending across the cut
lines and across the backing strip.
Use tacky mesh tape or an equivalent
reinforcement matting.
Allow to cure according to the adhesive
manufacturer's recommendations.
6. Shape and refinish the repair areas as necessary
to resemble the original appearance.

Bonding Procedure

Important: Use the following procedure when bonding


undamaged SMC to epoxy-coated steel.
1. Prime all the bare metal areas with an
anti-corrosion material. Refer to GM 4901 Refinish
Manual for approved materials
Some paint manufacturers recommend a
pre-primer when bonding to epoxy.
Always refer to the paint manufacturer's
recommendations.
Do not combine paint systems.
2. Clean the bond area with a lint-free rag using a
water-based cleaner.
3. Scuff both surfaces to be bonded using a scuff
pad such as 3M's Scotch-Brite Red scuff pad
PIN 07447 or equivalent.
4. Ensure that the surface is clean and dry before
applying the adhesive.
Use compressed air.
Do not wipe the surface with a hand or a rag.

5. Determine whether the adhesive is applied to the


vehicle or the replacement panel.
6. Apply a consistent adhesive bond to the prepared
surfaces.
7. Mechanically retain the panel in place in order to
wet out the adhesive along the entire bonding
surface.
8. Allow the area to cure according to the adhesive
manufacturer's recommendations.

General Plastic Repair Instructions


The following procedures should be followed when
repairing all types of thermoset plastic:
1. Use the supplies and the repair materials from the
same manufacturer. Do not intermix systems.
Mixing materials from different manufacturers can
produce unsatisfactory results.
2. Clean the inner and outer surfaces of the repair
area with a soap impregnated scouring pad in
order to remove any dirt or mold release agent. A
mold release agent is used during manufacturing
in order to prevent the part from sticking to
the mold. This release agent may be present in
large enough concentrations to affect adhesion.
3. After washing, clean the area a second time with
a wax and grease remover. Use only enough of
the remover to dampen a cloth. Too much of
the solvent will saturate the panel and may
rl'!igrate out later, affecting the finish. Use a tack
rag and air for finish cleanup. Allow the panel
to dry thoroughly.
4. Apply force around the damaged area in order to
look for hidden damage such as hairline cracks.
Small cracks and faults in the bonds and the
panels will eventually grow larger if left
unattended. Drill a 3 mm (1/8 in) hole at each end
of a crack in order to prevent any further
cracking.
5. Remove the surface finish from the area to be
repaired. Adhesives are designed to adhere to
the plastic substrate, not the finish ..
6. Prime a metal surface before applying the repair
material.
7. Repair the inner surface of the panel first.
8. When using a mat reinforcement to repair the
inner or outer surface of a panel, inspect that
there are no strands of the mat left uncovered or
unsaturated with the repair material. If exposed,
the mat may act as a wick and draw moisture into
the repair area, affecting the integrity and the
finish.
9. Inspect the rear of the damaged panel for tool
clearance. If accessing the repair with a
saturation roller, a grinder, or a sander is
impossible, do the repairs by hand.

8-1076

Plastic Panel Information and Repair

10. Align the damaged or spliced area with a brace


and clamps if the damage is severe. For a
smaller repair, use a heavy tape on the outer
surface in order to maintain the alignment until the
inner repair material has cured.
11. If welding is necessary, do not allow the flame or
the welding heat to come into direct contact with
the plastic body panels. Protect the surrounding
area with a fire retardant fabric. Several layers of
aluminum foil make an excellent heat shield if
not in direct contact with the flame.
12. Inspect the rear side of the work area before
making repairs in order to avoid possible
damage to wires, motors, etc.

Body and Accessories


13. Fiberglass parts will not yield or take a set as with
steel parts, thus they cannot be straightened. If
poor alignments are suspected, due to a collision
or other damage inspect the steel reinforcements
for damage and replace or repair them before
repairing the plastic parts

14. Save any useful size pieces of repair material


when cleaning up the work area. These pieces
can be used for reinforcing smaller repair areas.
15. Force dry Structural Bonding Epoxy with heat.
Heat speeds the cure time and increases the
bond strength. Follow the manufacturer's curing
recommendations.

Plastic parts can be identified by the SAE the code,


which is usually found on the rear of the part, and/or by
the characteristics of the plastic. Knowing the type
of plastic aids in selecting the proper repair materials
and in selecting the proper repair procedure.
Look for the SAE code stamped into the part.

1. Match the code to those in the plastic identification
chart to determine whether the plastic is
thermoplastic or thermoset plastic, and whether
the plastic is rigid or flexible. Refer to Plastic
Identification and Refinishing Systems.
2. Identify any special handling procedures. Refer to
Handling Precautions For Plastic.

Sand a spot near the damaged with Grade 36


Roloc Disc.
Thermoplastic (polyolefin) material melts or frays
when sanded.
Thermoset (non-polyolefin) material sands cleanly.
Thermoplastic and thermoset plastics can be either
rigid or flexible. Thermoplastic plastic parts are
best repaired with a hot iron plastic material-feed
welder, but are usually replaced. Thermoset plastic can
be repaired with epoxy or other more rigid two
package repair material.
For rigid thermoset repair materials refer to Repair
Materials - Rigid Plastic Part.
For flexible thermoset repair materials refer to

Plastic Repair Precautions


Adhere to the following precautions during thermoset
plastic repair:
1. Apply protective cream to any exposed skin in
order to prevent skin irritation.
2. Wear rubber gloves.
3. Wear safety glasses when using compressed air
and when sanding.
4. Immediately remove any mixture that comes into
contact with skin. The mixture hardens quickly.
5. Wear an air supplied respirator or dust mask
when grinding or sanding.

6. Use a sander with a vacuum attachment whenever


possible in order to control any dust.
7. Wash skin with cold water in order to alleviate
minor skin irritation from glass and resin dust.
8. Do not get any of the repair material on clothing.
9. Use repair materials in a well-ventilated area.
The repair materials may produce toxic fumes.
10. Follow the repair material manufacturer's
instructions.
11. Close all containers after use. Dirt or moisture
contamination of the repair material can result
in an unsatisfactory repair.

Anti-Corrosion Treatment and Repair

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: Approved safety glasses and gloves
should be worn when performing this procedure
to reduce the chance of personal injury.

Caution: When applying sound deadeners, or


anti-corrosion materials due care and preventative
measures must be exercised to prevent any
material from being sprayed into door and quarter
panel mechanisms such as door locks, window
run channels, window regulators and seat
belt retractors, as well as any moving or rotating
mechanical or suspension parts on the underbody,
particularly the parking brake cable. Atter material
application, be sure that all body drain holes
are open. Improper application may increase
chance of corrosion damage or limit the operation
of moving parts, resulting in personal injury.
Caution: Foam sound deadeners must be removed
from areas within 152.4 mm (6 in) of where flame
is to be used for body repairs. When reinstalling
foam sound deadeners, avoid inhaling fumes
as bodily injury may result.
Caution: Approved safety glasses and gloves
should be worn when performing this procedure
to reduce the chance of personal injury.
Notice: The anti-theft label found on some major body

All paint finish repairs of rigid exterior surfaces must


meet GM standards. The GM Approved Refinish
Materials book GM P/N 4901 M-D identifies the paint
systems you may use. Always refer to the latest
revision of the 4901 M-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 1 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

panels MUST be covered before performing any


painting, rustproofing or undercoating procedures. The
mask must also be removed following those
procedures. Failure to follow these precautionary steps
may result in liability for violation of the Federal Vehicle
Theft Prevention Standard, and subject the vehicle
owner to possible suspicion that the part was stolen.
Anti-corrosion materials providing rust resistance are
used on the interior and the exterior surfaces of
the metal panels. These materials include the following
metals:

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

142064

One-sided galvanized zinc


Two-sided galvanized zinc
Zinciron alloy steels

8-1104 Paint/Coatings

Body and Accessories

These treated metals are used on the following


components:

The fenders
The doors
The quarter panels
The rocker panels
The lids
The floor pans
The wheelhousings
Other critical parts
Metal conditioners and primers are used on the
interior and the exterior surfaces along with protective
waxes on the interior surfaces in the areas where
moisture might accumulate. Sealers are applied along
the exposed joints and the moisture-repelling
asphaltic sound deadeners are applied inside the
wheel wells, the doors, and on some underbody
components.

142049

These sealers are intended to prevent water and dust


from entering the vehicle and also are anti-corrosion
barriers. Sealers are applied to such areas as
rear compartment lid hem flanges, wheelhouse,
quarter outer, floor, cowl, roof, and various other panel
to panel attaching points. The originally sealed
joints are obvious and any damage to these sealed
locations should be corrected by resealing. Attaching
points of new replacement panels should be
resealed. Replacement lids and doors will also require
sealing in the hem flange areas.

Flanged joints, overlap joints, and seams should be


sealed using a quality sealer of medium-bodied
consistency. The sealer used. must retain its flexible
characteristics after curing and be paintable.

142051

Any procedure that disturbs these special treatments,


such as panel replacement or collision damage
repair operations, may leave the metal unprotected
and result in corrosion. Proper recoating of these
surfaces with service-type anti-corrosion material is
essential.
Metal conditioners and primer coatings are applied to
all metal panels at the time of vehicle manufacture.
After repair and/or replacement parts are installed, all
accessible bare metal surfaces must be treated
with metal conditioner and reprimed using a zinc
chromate primer. This operation is to be performed
prior to the application of sealers, waxes, deadeners,
and antirust compounds. Refer to Basecoat/Clearcoat
Paint Systems.

142047

Open joints which require bridging of the sealer in


order to close a gap should be sealed using a
heavy-bodied caulking material. Follow the label
directions for the material selected.

Body and Accessories

Paint/Coatings

Color application may be required in order to restore


repaired areas such as hood, fenders, doors, quarters,
lid, roof, engine compartment, underbody, and inner
panels to original appearance. When this is necessary,
conventional refinishing preparation, undercoat
buildup, and color application techniques should be
followed. Refer to Basecoat/C/earcoat Paint Systems.

8-1105

Anti-corrosion compounds are light-bodied materials


designed to penetrate between metal-to-metal
surfaces, such as pinch weld joints, hem flanges, and
integral panel attaching points where metal surfaces
are difficult to coat with conventional undercoating
materials, and are inaccessible for painting. Material
suited for this type of application is GM P/N 12346225
Anti-Corrsion Compound Clear (Oil Base) or
equivalent. Conventional undercoating is
recommended in order to coat large areas such as
replacement door and quarter outer panels, floor pan
sections, lids, hoods, fenders, etc. During undercoating
operations, care should be taken to prevent the
material from being sprayed into door and quarter
panel hardware mechanisms such as door locks, glass
run channels, window regulators, and seat belt
retractors. On the underbody, the material should not
be applied to any moving or rotating part, energy
absorbing bumper components, or shock absorbers.
After undercoating, ensure that all body drain holes are
open. Refer to Basecoat/Clearcoat Paint Systems
for the sequence of application steps for anti-corrosion
materials.

142062

Deadener materials (spray-on type) are used on


various metal panels in order to provide corrosion
resistance and joint sealing. They control the general
noise level inside the passenger area of the vehicle.
When deadeners are disturbed because of damage,
are removed during repair operations, or a new
replacement panel is installed, ihe deadener material
must be replaced by a service equivalent material.
The application pattern and location of deadener
materials can be determined by observing the original
production installation.

142054

142058

Cleaning of the interior and underbody panel surfaces


is necessary when original galvanized or other
anti-corrosion materials have. been burned off during
welding or heating operations. Removal of the residue
from burning will require additional care in such
areas as interior surfaces of box-type construction and
when configurations of the metal panels limit access
to interior surfaces. One or more of the following
methods will remove the residue.
Sandblasting is an excellent method for cleanup
and preparation of open joints, underbody
components, and hem flange areas. Sandblasting
is most effective and should be used.
When access is possible, scraping with a putty
knife or scraper can be used.
A jet of compressed air will remove most residue
and could be effective in a limited access areas.

Environmental Fallout (Acid Rain)


Since the severity of the condition varies from area to
area, proper diagnosis of the damage extent is
.
critical to the success of repairs. Perform diagno~is
under high intensity fluorescent lighting, on horizontal
surfaces (hood, roof panel, rear compartment lid)
after the surfaces have been properly cleaned. There
are 3 basic types of acid rain damage:
Surface Level Contamination: May be repaired by
simply washing the vehicle, cleaning the surface
with a silicone, wax and grease remover, neutralizing
acidic residue and finesse polishing. Refer to
Surface Level Contamination Repair in this procedure.
Clearcoat Etching: Slight etching still noticeable
after the above washing and finesse polishing
procedure. Refer to Slight Clearcoat Damage - Wet
Sanding, Finesse Polishing in this procedure.
Basecoat Etching: Severe etching beyond the

clearcoat into the basecoat. Refer to


Basecoat/C/earcoat Paint Systems.

Paint/Coatings 8-1107
Slight Clearcoat Damage - Wet Sanding,
Finesse Polishing
Notice: Removing more than 0.5 mils of the clearcoat
can result in early paint failure. The clearcoat
contains ultraviolet screeners. Do not finesse sand
more than what is required to remove the defect.
Important: Always refer to manufacture's packaged
instructions for the detailed procedures of materials
used for compounding or polishing.
1. Select a small test area on the damaged panel.
2. Readings of the paint film build should be
taken prior to the operation. Refer to
Paint Gauges.
3. Wet sand the damaged area using an ultra-fine
sandpaper and rubber sponge sanding block.
Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for
detailed procedures for the materials used in the
repairs. During the wet sand process:
3.1. Use ample amounts of water.
3.2. Work slowly in order to prevent removing
too much clearcoat.
4. Remove the excess water with a rubber squeegee
and inspect the area. If wet sanding has repaired
the damage, continue the sanding procedure
on the enUre panel.
5. Apply a finesse-type polish with a foam pad.
Remove any swirl marks with a dual action
orbital polisher and foam pad. Refer to Clearcoat
Repair Specifications - 3M Products or Clearcoat
Repair Specifications - Meguiar Products. If
(during the repair) you suspect or observe that
etching has penetrated into the basecoat,
too much clearcoat has been removed during
sanding or base color is transferred to pad during
polishing, the affected areas may require
clearcoat/basecoat application or refinishing.
Refer to Basecoat!Clearcoat Paint Systems.
6. Polish the entire vehicle after all damage has
been repaired.

Surface Level Contamination Repair


Notice: Removing more than 0.5 mils of the clearcoat
can result in early paint failure. The clearcoat
contains ultraviolet screeners. Do not finesse sand
more than what is required to remove the defect.

Important: Always refer to manufacture's packaged


instructions for the detailed procedures of materials
used for compounding or polishing.
1. Thoroughly wash the repaired area with Liquid
Wash and Wax GM P/N 1052870.
2. Dry the area thoroughly.
3. Clean the affected area with silicone, wax and
grease remover.
4. Neutralize left over acidic residue by cleaning
damaged areas with mixture of baking soda
and water (1 tablespoon of baking soda per
1 quart of water). Rinse thoroughly and dry the
panel completely.
5. Apply finesse-type polish with a foam panel. If
damage has been repaired, remove any swirl
marks with dual action orbital polisher and foam
pad. Refer to C/earcoat Repair Specifications 3M Products or Clearcoat Repair Specifications Meguiar Products.
6. If some damage remains, refer to Slight Clearcoat
Damage-Wet Sanding, Finesse Polishing in this
procedure.

Paint Gauges
Use a paint gauge before, during and after the
sanding process in order to accurately measure how
much clearcoat has been removed. Paint gauges
measure the total thickness of the finish and when
used, determine how much clearcoat has been
removed during the repair process. Paint gauges range
from magnetic pull type to sophisticated electronic
types and are available from a variety of sources. The
older magnetic type gauges, at best have a 5 percent
accuracy range and are not sensitive enough to
detect removal of 0.020 mm 0.5 mil; (0.0005 in)
clearcoat. The newer type magnetic gauges have
improved accuracy ranges. Most gauges are confined
to checking either ferrous metal (steel) or non
ferrous metal (aluminum} panel. At this time, there are
no viable gauges for reading film thickness on
composite (SCM Doors, RIM Fenders) panels. The
more sophisticated (ETG) electronic paint thickness
gauges digital type gauges are able to read film
thickness on both ferrous and non-ferrous metal panel.
Digital (ETG) gauges may have an accuracy range
of 1 percent and include thickness standards for
recalibration. The following paint thickness gauges are
available. Call 1 - 800-GM-TOOLS for information.

Clearcoat Thickness
The clearcoat on the vehicle is typically
0.059- 0.078 mm (1.5- 2 mils; 0.0015-0.0020 in.)
thick. The clearcoat contains ultraviolet screeners.
Removing more than 0.5 mils (0.019 in.) of the
clearcoat may result in early paint failure.

Rail Dust Damage Repair


Caution: Approved safety glasses and gloves
should be worn when performing this procedure
to reduce the chance of personal injury.

Important: If rail dust has penetrated into the


basecoat, the panel requires refinishing. Ensure all the
rail dust has been removed prior to refinishing or
the rust spots will return.
Rail dust damage comes from the tiny iron particles
produced from the friction between the train wheels
and the track. It can also be deposited on vehicles if
stored near any operation producing iron dust (i.e.,
steel ore yards). This dust can either lay on top of, or
embed into the paint surface. It is usually diagnosed
as bumps in the paint surface or rust colored spots in
the paint.
1. Move the vehicle to a cool shaded area and
ensure the vehicle surfaces are cool during
the removal process.
2. Thoroughly wash the repair area with Liquid Wash
and Wax GM P/N 1052870 or the equivalent.
3. Wipe the area dry.
4. Clean the affected area with silicone, wax and
grease remover.
5. Perform the removal process according to the
manufacturer's directions of the type of repair
material used (Gel Type Oxalic Acid or Clay Type
Non-Acid Based). If, upon inspection, some
particles are still present, the process may be
repeated. If the damage has been repaired,
complete the repair to the entire panel.
6. Polish the entire panel after the removal process.
Refer to Clearcoat Repair Specifications 3M Products or Clearcoat Repair Specifications Meguiar Products. If small pits remain in the
clearcoat after all of the damage has been
repaired, refer to C/earcoat Repair wlo
Repainting.

Reference Points - Symmetrical

Reference Points - Asymmetrical

Symmetrical reference points are two corresponding


points on opposite sides of the centerline that
have equal specifications in length and height.
Symmetrical reference points are used in order to
make quick inspections in order to determine
underbody structural damage. All measurements
provided in the dimensions charts are symmetrical
unless otherwise noted.

When two corresponding reference points have


different measurements, the measurements are
asymmetrical. If you perform a quick cross-check and
the measurements are unequal, use the dimensions
charts in order to verify it the measuring points
are symmetrical or asymmetrical.

Diagnostic Information and Procedures


Alignment Checking

Checking Frame to Body Alignment

If a vehicle is involved in an accident that may result


in a bent or sprung frame, inspect the vehicle for
the following conditions:
Proper frame alignment
Steering geometry
Wheel alignment
There are two different methods for determining
vehicle measurements:
The tram gauge method
The three-dimensional method

A misaligned frame may move up or down or to the


side of where the rail should be. These possibilities
must be checked.
The easiest way to check body alignment is with
tramming gauges and universal measuring systems
made for this purpose. Detailed instructions are
normally supplied at the time of purchase. Instructions
for equipment usage are not given in this manual.
Whether alignment is checked with or without gauges,
the vehicle must be parked on a level section of
floor. Certain conditions call for preliminary inspections
before actually inspecting the frame. Suspension
problems may make it appear that the vehicle frame is
out of alignment. A weak spring may make the
vehicle appear to have a twisted frame.
A visual inspection of the top and the bottom flanges
of each rail may reveal the specific are where sag
or buckle exists. In the case of sag, wrinkles may
appear on the top of the upper flange. Wrinkles on the
bottom of the lower flange are definite evidence of
buckle. To inspect the frame to body alignment
perform the following:
1. Raise and suitably support the vehicle. Refer to
Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General
Information.
2. Inspect the suspension for worn or damaged
components.
3. Inspect for floor pan for damage.
4. Inspect for frame damage.
5. If the frame can not be re-aligned, replacement
may be necessary.
Inspect the frame to body alignment by inserting a
19 mm (0.75 in) diameter guide pin or drill bit into the
frame to body bolt holes.

Tram Gauge Method


A tram gauge is a quick reference for determining
vehicle damage. The tram gauge set requires a vertical
pointer that is capable of reaching 914 mm (36 in).
Measure the engine compartment components
from point to point using the vertical pointers equally
set. Use the vertical pointers in order to make
other measurements on the horizontal plane of the
datum line, parallel to the underbody. Ensure that the
pointers are set as specified for each point. When
measuring dimensions to the gauge holes, measure to
the center of the holes flush to the adjacent surface
metal. Cross-check the diagonal dimensions in order to
verify the dimensional accuracy of the vehicle
underbody.
Three-Dimensional Method
If you are measuring the structural repair, ensure that
the repair equipment is capable of simultaneously
measuring the following multiple points:
The height
The length
The width
Measure the vehicle body in order to obtain accurate
comparisons to the vehicle structure. Universal
measuring systems combine the use of equipment
and techniques in order to make underbody and
upperbody three dimensional measurements. The
universal system provides accurate simultaneous
measurements of the following items:
Height
Length
Width

Description and Operation


Datum Description
The datum line is a base line parallel to the plane of
the underbody or the frame where all vertical
measurements originate. A datum line is an imaginary
horizontal plane that runs below and parallel to the
vehicle. The height dimensions are calculated at right
angles from the datum to a given control or reference
point on the underbody.
The height dimensions determine the location of the
datum based on the equipment being used. Therefore,
different datum lines are established for the same
vehicle. You can add an equal amount from all height
dimensions and create a new datum line for
your usage.

Centerline Description

A centerline is an imaginary vertical plane that is


perpendicular to the length of the datum plane through
the center of the vehicle. The centerline is any line
drawn through the center of the vehicles datum plane.

Child Restraint Belt Tether Location


(Child Seat)

Caution: A child in a rear-facing child restraint can


be seriously injured if the right-front passenger's
air bag inflates. This is because the back of a
rear-facing child restraint would be very close to
the inflating air bag. It Is always better to secure a
child restraint in the rear seat. If a forward-facing
child seat is suitable for your child, ALWAYS move
the front passenger seat as far back as It will go
and then install the child restraint. Be sure the
child restraint position does not conflict with any
additional requirements provided by the
manufacturer. For more information, refer to the
vehicle owner's manual and the instructions
that came with the child restraint.
When the child seat is used in the front seat, it is
installed by connecting the following components:
The child seat tether
The seat belt at the seating position to the rear
A special dealer-installed tether must be used in order
to secure the child seat tether when a child seat
that requires a top strap will be used in the rear seat.
The child seat must be used only at the seating
position for which the anchor is installed. This action
will ensure that the angle of the child seat tether
is correct.

Description and Operation


Seat Belt System Description
Restraint System
Seat belts are the primary means of occupant restraint.
Seat belts help to keep the occupant(s) inside the
passenger compartment and to gradually reduce the
impact forces during the following events:
Frontal impact type crashes
Rear impact type crashes
Side impact type crashes
Roll-over type crashes
II seat belt retractors have emergency locks. The
retractors remain unlocked during normal operation
and under normal driving conditions. The retractors
remain unlocked during normal conditions in order to
allow free movement of the upper body of each
occupant.
A pendulum locks the seat belt webbing into position.
The pendulum causes a locking bar to engage a
cog on the spool of the retractor mechanism when the
following conditions occur:
A rapid extraction of the seat belt webbing from
the retractor
An abrupt change in the vehicle speed
An abrupt change in the vehicle direction
Operation of the vehicle on a steep upgrade
Operation of the vehicle on a steep downgrade
The seat belts have an automatic locking {cinch)
feature. Te cinch feature is activated wlien the seat
belt webbing is completely extended from the retractor.
The cinch feature prevents the webbing from
extending beyond the position from which the webbing
is allowed to retract.
Use of the cinch feature is recommended for securing
a child seat.
The cinch feature may be canceled by allowing the
webbing to wind completely back into the retractor.
After the cinch feature is canceled, the webbing
is unlocked. The webbing will then extend from the
retractor.
This vehicle is also equipped with a Supplemental
Inflatable Restraint {SIR) System. Refer to SIR System
Component Description and Definitions for more
information about the SIR system.

Diagnostic Information and Procedures


lntermittents and Poor Connections

SIR General Diagnosis

Faulty electrical connections or wiring may cause most


intermittents. Inspect for the following conditions:
Poor mating of connector halves
Terminals not fully seated in the connector body
(backed out)
Dirt or corrosion on the terminals
Ensure that the terminals are clean and free of
any foreign material that may impede proper
terminal contact.
Damaged connector body - exposing the terminals
to moisture and dirt
Improper terminal orientation with the component
or mating connector
Improperly formed or damaged terminals
Carefully inspect all connector terminals in
problem circuits in order to ensure good contact
tension. Use a corresponding mating terminal
in order to inspect for proper tension. Refer
to Checking Terminal Contact in Electrical
Diagnosis for the specific procedure.
Use the J 35616-A Connector Test Adapter Kit
whenever a diagnostic procedure requests
inspecting or probing a terminal. Using the adapter
will ensure that no damage to the terminal will
occur, and will indicate whether contact tension is
sufficient. If contact tension seems incorrect,
check the terminal for contact.
Poor terminal to wire connection
This includes the following conditions:
- Poor crimps
- Poor solder joints
- Crimping over wire insulation rather than the
wire itself
- Corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area
Wire insulation that is rubbed th rough
This causes an intermittent short as the bare area
touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
Wiring broken inside the insulation
This condition may cause a continuity inspection
to show a good circuit. If only 1 or 2 strands
of a multi-strand type wire are intact, resistance
may be too high.
In order to avoid any of the above conditions when
making wiring or terminal repairs, always follow
the instructions for wiring and terminal repair in Wiring
Repairs.

SIR Diagnostic Trouble Codes


Caution: In order to avoid deploying the air bag
when troubleshooting the SIR system, use onfy the
equipment specified in this manual and the
instructions given in this manual. Failure to use
the specified equipment as instructed could cause
air bag deployment, personal injury to you or
someone else, or unnecessary SIR system repairs.
The SIR Diagnostic System Check must always be
the starting point of any SIR system diagnosis.
The SIR Diagnostic System Check tests for proper
AIR BAG warning lamp operation and inspects for
SIR Diagnostic Trouble Codes (OTC) using the scan
tool. The following describes the difference between
current and history SIR DTCs:
Current SIR DTCs - Malfunctions that are
presently being detected. Random Access
Memory (RAM) stores the current SIR DTCs.
Turning the ignition switch to the OFF position
erases current SIR DTCs. The presence of
a current SIR OTC will cause the inflatable
restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SOM) to
turn ON the AIR BAG warning lamp.
History SIR DTCs - All malfunctions detected
since last clearing of history memory. Electrically
Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory
(EEPROM) stores the history SIR DTCs. A scan
tool clear codes command will erase
history SIR DTCs.
Some SIR DTCs are latched and can not be cleared.
Latched SIR DTCs will require replacement of the
SOM after proper diagnostics.

Use of Special Tools


Ensure that you are familiar with the tools in this
service category listed under Special Tools. You
should know how to measure voltage and resistance.
Diagnosis requires proper use of the following tools:
The Scan Tool
The J 38715-A SIR Driver/Passenger Load Tool
The J 35616-A Connector Test Adapter Kit
The J 39200 Digital Multimeter

SIR 9-29

Restraints
SIR Diagnostic System Check

Caution: In order to avoid deploying the air bag


when troubleshooting the SIR system, use only the
equipment specified in this manual and the
instructions given in this manual. Failure to use
the specified equipment as instructed could cause
air bag deployment, personal injury to you or
someone else, or unnecessary SIR system repairs.
Caution: If any water enters the vehicle's interior
up to the level of the carpet or higher and
soaks the carpet, the sensing and diagnostic
module (SOM) and the SOM harness connector
may need to be replaced. The SOM could be
activated when powered, which could cause
deployment of the air bag(s) and result in personal
injury. Before attempting these procedures, the
SIR system must be disabled. Refer to Disabling
the SIR System in this section. With the ignition
OFF, inspect the SOM mounting area, including the
carpet. If any significant soaking or evidence of
significant soaking is detected, you must perform
the foflowing steps:

Remove all water.


Repair the water damage.
Replace the SOM harness connector.
Replace the SOM.

Failure to follow these procedures could result in


possible air bag deployment, personal injury,
or otherwise unneeded SIR system repairs.
These diagnostic procedures will help you to find and
repair SIR system malfunctions. This service
category also contains information for repairing SIR
system malfunctions. For best results, use the
diagnostic tables, and follow the sequence
listed below:
1. Perform the SIR Diagnostic System Check. All
SIR diagnostics must begin with the SIR
Diagnostic System Check. The SIR Diagnostic
System Check determines the following:
Proper AIR BAG warning lamp operation
Ability of the SDM to communicate through the
data link connector (DLC}
Existence of SIR diagnostic trouble
codes (DTC}

2. Refer to the diagnostic table as directed by the


SIR Diagnostic System Check. The diagnostic
tables will help enable you.to diagnose any
SIR system malfunction. Bypassing these
procedures may result in the following:
Extended diagnostic time
Incorrect diagnosis
Incorrect parts replacement
3. Repeat the SIR Diagnostic System Check after
you perform any repair or diagnostic procedures.
This will verify that you correctly performed
the repair. This will also ensure that no other
malfunctions exist.

Circuit Description
The ignition switch supplies Ignition 1 voltage to the
inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module
(SDM} at terminal A1 using the AIR BAG Fuse. When
the ignition switch is first turned to the RUN position,
the SDM responds by performing tests on the SIR
system and then commanding the AIR BAG warning
lamp OFF after it has flashed seven times.

Diagnostic Aids
You must diagnose the diagnostic trouble codes in the
order specified by the SIR Diagnostic System
Check. Failure to do so may result in the following:
Extended diagnostic time
Incorrect diagnosis
Incorrect parts replacement

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
1. This step checks to see if the AIR BAG warning
lamp flashes seven times when the ignition key
is turned to the RUN position.
2. This step checks to see if the SIR warning lamp
turns OFF after it had flashed seven times.
3. This step checks to see if the scan tool can
communicate with the inflatable restraint sensing
and diagnostic module (SDM}.
4. This step checks to see if there are any current
DTCs present.
6. This step checks to see if the scan tool can

Wiring Repair
The supplemental inflatable restraint {SIR) system
requires special wiring repair procedures due to
the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific
procedures and instructions when working with the
SIR 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 system terminals unless
specifically indicated by the terminal package.
Tools Required
J 38125-8 Terminal Repair Kit

SIR Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal


Metal Pin) Repair
Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to
repair the damaged SIR 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-B. You must use the splice
crimping tool in order to apply these splices.
The terminals.in the SIR 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 (SOM) harness connector,
use 1 of the following 2 components in order to replace
the SOM harness connector:
The SOM harness connector pigtail assembly
The SOM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other
SIR connection, use the appropriate connector
repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire
connection. Replace the entire SIR wiring harness, if
needed, in order to maintain SIR circuit integrity.

SIR 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 Wire Repair


Tools Required
J 38125-B Terminal Repair Kit
Important: Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems
in order to determine the correct wire size for the
circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this
information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the
wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gauge size {0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use
the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the
J 38125-8. 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 gauge.


- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin
with the largest opening in the wire
stripper and work down until achieving a
clean strip of the insulation.
Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of
insulation from each wire to be spliced.
Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect
the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure
after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according
to wire size.
Refer to the following table for color coding of the
splice sleeves, and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-B in
order to position the splice sleeve in the proper
color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.

SIR System Wire Splice Repair
Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-B if
dar:nage oc~urs to any of the original equipment
splices (3 wrres or more) in the SIR 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 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 (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.

Sensor Replacement Guidelines


The SIR 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. For example, a moderate collision where
the front of the vehicle impacts a tree. If the vehicle
has a SIR sensor mounted forward of the radiator it
must be replaced.
'

Replace the sensor whether or not the air bags


have deployed.
Replace the sensor even if it appears to be

Live (Undeployed) Inflater Module


Take special care when handling or storing a live
(undeployed) inflator module. An air bag deployment
produces rapid gas generation. This may cause
the inflator module, or an object in front of the inflator
module, to jettison through the air in the event of
an unlikely deployment.

Shipping Procedures
Ref~r to the latest service bulletins for proper SIR
inflator module shipping procedures.

Scrapping Procedure
During the course of a vehicle's useful life, certain
situations may arise which will necessitate the disposal
of a live (undeployed) inflator module. The following
information covers the proper procedures for the
disposing of a live inflator module. Deploy the inflator
module before disposal. Do not dispose of the
module through normal disposal channels.

Caution: In order to prevent accidental deployment


of the air bag which could cause personal injury,
do not dispose of an undeployed inflator module
as normal shop waste. The undeployed inflator
module contains substances that could cause
severe illness or personal injury if the sealed
container is damaged during disposal. Use the
following deployment procedures to safely dispose
of an undeployed inflator module. Failure to
dispose of an inflator module as instructed may
be a violation of federal, state, province,

Handling a Deployed lnflator Module


After the inflator module has deployed, the surface of
the air bag may contain a powdery residue. This
powder consists primarily of cornstarch (used
to lubricate the bag as it inflates), and byaproducts of
the chemical reaction. The deployment reaction
produces sodium hydroxide dust (similar to lye soap).
The sodium hydroxide quickly reacts with the
atmospheric moisture. This atmospheric moisture
converts the sodium hydroxide into sodium carbonate
and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). Therefore,
you will probably find no sodium hydroxide present
after the deployment. Gloves and safety glasses
are recommended, however, as a precaution. Gloves
and safety glasses help to prevent possible irritation
of the skin or eyes.

System Description

68681

The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) system


supplements the protection offered by the driver
and front passenger seat belts (2). The SIR system
deploys an air bag (1) from the center of the steering
wheel and from the right side of the instrument panel.
The knee bolsters (3) and the steering column
absorb crash energy. The driver and passenger knee
bolsters are below the instrument panel.

The SIR system consists of the following components:


Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic
Module (SDM)
Inflatable Restraint Steering Wheel Module
Inflatable Restraint Steering Wheel Module Coil
Inflatable Restraint IP Module
AIR BAG warning lamp in the instrument cluster
The inflatable restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module
(SDM), inflatable restraint steering wheel module
coil (SIR coil assembly), inflatable restraint steering
wheel module (driver inflater module), inflatable
restraint IP module (passenger inflater module), and
connector wires make up the deployment loops.
The function of the deployment loops is to supply
current through the inflater modules, which will cause
deployment of the air bags. Deployment occurs
when the SDM detects vehicle velocity changes severe.
enough to warrant deployment.
The SDM contains a sensing device (Accelerometer)
that converts vehicle velocity changes to an
electrical signal. The SDM compares this electrical
signal to a value stored in memory. When the
generated signal exceeds the stored value, the SDM
performs additional signal processing and compares
the generated signals to values stored in memory.
When two of the generated signals exceed the stored
values, the SDM will cause current to flow through
the inflater modules, deploying the air bags.

9-94 SIR
SIR System Component Description and
Definitions
Component Description
Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic
Module
The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module
(SOM) performs the following functions in the SIR
system:
Energy Reserve - The SOM maintains 23 Volt
Loop Reserve (23 VLR) energy supplies to
provide deployment energy for the air bags.
Ignition voltage can provide deployment energy if
the 23 Volt Loop Reserves malfunction.
Crash Detection - The SOM monitors vehicle
velocity changes in order to detect frontal crashes
that are severe enough to warrant deployment.
Air Bag Deployment - During a frontal crash of
sufficient force, the SDM will cause enough
current to flow through the frontal inflater modules
to deploy the frontal air bags
Frontal Crash Recording - The SOM records
information regarding the SIR system status during
a frontal crash. .
Malfunction Detection - The SOM performs
diagnostic monitoring of the SIR system electrical
components. Upon detection of a circuit
malfunction, the SOM will set a Diagnostic Trouble
Code (OTC).
Malfunction Diagnosis - The SOM displays SIR
Diagnostic Trouble Codes and system status
information through the use of a scan tool.
Driver Notification - The SOM warns the vehicle
driver of SIR system malfunctions by controlling
the AIR BAG warning lamp in the instrument
cluster via Class 2 serial data.
The SOM connects to the SIR wiring harness using
the following connector(s):
The 18-way connector provides power, ground, and all
the required interfaces for the frontal air bag
deployment loops.
The SOM receives power when the ignition switch is
in the RUN position.

Restraints
AIR BAG Warning Lamp
The AIR BAG warning lamp is represented by an icon
graphic. Ignition voltage is applied to the AIR BAG
warning lamp when the ignition switch is turned to the
RUN position. The inflatable restraint sensing and
diagnostic module (SOM) controls the lamp by
commuhicating with the instrument cluster over the
Class 2 serial data circuit. The SIR system uses
the AIR BAG warning lamp to do the following:
Verify proper SIR system operation by
commanding the lamp OFF via Class 2 serial data
after seven flashes. The instrument cluster
flashes the lamp seven times when the ignition
switch is first turned to the RUN position.
When lit, alerts the driver of electrical system
malfunctions that could affect the operation of the
SIR system. Certain malfunctions can result in:
- Deployment of the air bag(s) without a
crash;
- Non-deployment of the air bag(s) in the
event of a crash; or
- Deployment of the air bag(s) for conditions
less severe than intended.
The AIR BAG warning lamp is the key to driver
notification of SIR system malfunctions. Refer to the
SIR diagnostic system check for proper lamp
operation.

Inflatable Restraint Steering Wheel Module Coil


The inflatable restraint steering wheel module
coil consists of two or more current-carrying coils. The
inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil
attaches to the steering column. Two of the
current-carrying coils allow rotation of the steering
wheel while maintaining continuous contact of
the driver frontal deployment loop to the inflatable
restraint steering wheel module.
There is a shorting bar on the yellow 2-way connector
near the base of the steering column that connects
the inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil to the
SIR wiring harness. The shorting bar shorts the
circuits to the inflatable restraint steering wheel module
coil and inflatable restraint steering wheel module
during the disconnection of the yellow 2-way
connector. The shorting of the inflatable restraint
steering wheel module coil and inflatable restraint
steering wheel module circuitry wilfhelp prevent
unwanted deployment of the air bag when servicing
the steering column or other SIR system components.
lnflator Modules
The inflater modules consist of an inflatable bag and
an inflator. An inflator consists of a canister of
gas-generating material and an initiating device. The
initiator is part of the deployment loop. When the
vehicle is in a frontal crash of sufficient force,
the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module
(SOM) causes current to flow through the frontal
air bag deployment loops. Current passing through the
initiator ignites the material in the inflator module.
The gas produced from this reaction rapidly inflates the
air bag.

SIR 9-95

Restraints
There is a shorting bar on the inflatable restraint
steering wheel module side of the upper steering
column connector that connects the inflatable restraint
steering wheel module coil to the in,flatable restraint
steering wheel module. The shorting bar shorts across
the inflatable restraint steering wheel module circuits
during the disconnection of the upper steering
column connector. The shorting of the inflatable
restraint steering wheel module circuitry will help
prevent unwanted deployment of the air bag when
servicing_ the inflatable restraint steering wheel module,
the steering column or other SIR system components.
There is a shorting bar on the inflatable restraint
IP module connector that connects to the SIR wiring
harness. The shorting bar shorts across the inflatable
restraint IP module circuits during the disconnection
of the inflatable restraint IP module connector.
The shorting of the inflatable restraint IP module
circuitry will help prevent unwanted deployment of the
air bag when servicing the inflatable restraint IP
module, the instrument panel or other SIR system
components.
Steering Column
The steering column is energy absorbing. The steering
column can compress during a frontal crash in order
to decrease the chance of injury to the driver.

Knee Bolster
The knee bolsters. absorb energy and control the
forward movement of the vehicle's front seat occupants
during a frontal crash, by limiting leg movement.

Definitions
Air Bag: An inflatable cloth cushion designed to
deployJn certain frontal or side impact crashes. The air
bags distribute the impact load more evenly over
the occupant's head and torso in order to supplement
the safety belt protection.

be 14.0-16.0 V. During engine cranking, the voltage
can be as low as 1o.o V.
Bulb Test: The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) will
flash the air bag warning lamp indicator 7 time
when the ignition switch is turned from OFF to RUN.
The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic
module (SDM) then commands the IPC to turn the
warning indicator OFF through serial data
communication. This indicates that there are no
malfunctions in the SIR system. If a SIR system
malfunction is present, the IPC flashes the warning
indicator seven times and the SDM then commands
the IPC to turn the warning lamp indicator ON. An
IPC malfunction could prevent the IPC from flashing
the indicator.

Class 2:

A serial data communications protocol.

Continuous Monitoring Tests: The inflatable


restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM)
continuously monitors the SIR system during each
60 millisecond interval. The IGNITION 1 voltage at the
module must be within the normal operating voltage
range for the continuous monitoring to occur.
These tests follow the power-on tests.
Data Link Connector (DLC): The DLC electrically
connects to. many on-board computers and allows
communication with an off-board computer such as a
scan tool.
Datum Line: A base line parallel to the plane of the
vehicle underbody or the frame. All vertical
measurements originate from this base line.
Deploy: To inflate the air bag.
Deployment Loops: The circuits that supply the
current to the inflater modules for air bag deployment.
Deployment Loop Voltage Out Of
Range Test: This test is run during power-on and
continuous monitoring diagnostics. The inflatable
restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM)
performs this test in order to inspect for a short circuit
to B+ or ground within the deployment loops. If the
SDM detects a short circuit to voltage within a
deployment loop, the resistance measurement test for
that deployment loop will be not be run.
Deployment Loop Resistance
Measurement Test: This test is run during power-on
and continuous monitoring diagnostics. The inflatable
restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM)
performs this test in order to inspect for proper
deployment loop resistance. This test is run after the
voltage out of range test as long as a short to B+
does not exist within the deployment loop.
Diagnostic Trouble Code (OTC): An alphanumeric
designator used by the inflatable restraint Sensing
and Diagnostic Module (SDM) in order to indicate
specific SIR system malfunctions.
EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable
Read Only Memory): Memory that does not require
power to the inflatable restraint Sensing and
Diagnostic Module (SOM) in order to retain its
contents.
Higher Priority Fault: Each OTC has an assigned
priority based on its detectability with other DTCs
present. The priority corresponds to the detectability of
the malfunction only. This does not relate to the
seriousness of the malfunction with respect to
deployment or non deployment under any given
condition.
Ignition Cycle: The operation of the ignition switch
causes this cycle to occur. The inflatable restraint
Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SOM) must first
sense IGNITION 1 input greater than 9.0 V with the
ignition switch in RUN. The IGNITION 1 input voltage
must remain above 9.0 V for at least 1O seconds
before turning the ignition switch to OFF.

9-96 SIR
Ignition 1: A B+ circuit receiving power with the
ignition switch in the RUN position.
Inflatable Restraint IP Module: An assembly
located on the RH of the IP consisting of an inflatable
air bag, an inflator, and an initiator.
Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic
Module (SOM): The SIR control module that
provides reserve energy to the deployment loops,
deploys the air bags when required, and performs
diagnostic monitoring of all SIR system components.
Inflatable Restraint Steering Wheel Module: An
assembly located in the steering wheel hub consisting
of an inflatable bag, an inflator, and an initiator.
Inflatable Restraint Steering Wheel
Module Coil: An assembly of two or more current
carrying coils mounted within the steering column hub.
The assembly allows the rotation of the steering
wheel while maintaining continuous electrical circuit
contact. Two of the coils provide continuous contact of
the driver deployment loop to the inflatable restraint
steering wheel module.
Initiator: Located in the inflator module, the initiator
initiates the chemical reaction that inflates the air
bag when sufficient current flows through the
component.
Normal Operating Voltage Range: 9.0-16.0 V
when measuring between the inflatable restraint
Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SOM) IGNITION
POSITIVE VOLTAGE terminal and ground.
Power-on Tests: Tests that the inflatable restraint
Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SOM) performs
on the SIR system once per ignition cycle. These tests
occur immediately after the module receives
IGNITION 1 voltage, and before the continuous
monitoring tests.
Scan Tool: An off-board computer that reads
on-board computer diagnostic information through the
use of a DLC.
Serial Data: The information communicated to an
off-board computer using the DLC. Some of this
data represents the status of the SIR system.
SIR:

Supplemental inflatable restraint.

SIR Wiring Harness: The wires and connectors that


electrically connect the components in the SIR
system.
SOH:

State Of Health

23 VLR: The 23 volt loop reserve. The energy


supply that is internal to the inflatable restraint Sensing
and Diagnostic Module (SOM).

Special Tools Description
J 38125-B Terminal Repair Kit
Use the J 38125-8 Terminal Repair Kit for SIR wiring
repair. This kit contains a special crimping tool,
heat torch, and sealed splices. Do not use the
terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR
system terminals unless specifically indicated by
the terminal package.

J 38826 SIR Deploymel')t Harness


Use the J 38826 SIR Deployment. Harness in order to
deploy a ~river inflator module outside of the
vehicle. Use one of the following adapters in order to
connect the deployment harness to the inflator
module:
The J 38826- 20 SIR Deployment Harness
Adapter (pigtail connector)
The J 38826-50 SIR Deployment Harness
Adapter (integral connector)

J 38715-A SIR Driver/Passenger Load Tool


Use the J 38715-A SIR Driver/Passenger Load Tool
only when the SIR diagnostics call for it. The Load
Tool is used as a diagnostic aid and a safety device in
order to prevent inadvertent inflator module
deployment.
The load tool has four yellow connectors attached to
its case. The three small connectors are electrically
functional ar:id serve as resistive load substitutions.
The large dummy connector does not serve as a load
substitution and is not used. Use no more than two
connectors at any time.
One of the small connectors is used in order to
substitute the load of the inflatable restraint steering
wheel module. It is connected at the top of the steering
column to the inflatable restraint steering wheel
module coil using the J 38715 - 30 adapter.
A second small connector is used in order to substitute
the load of the inflatable restraint steering wheel
module and the inflatable restraint steering wheel
module coil. The second small connector is connected
at the base of the steering column to the SIR wiring
harness using the J 38715 - 90 adapter.
The third small connector is used to substitute the
load of the inflatable restraint IP module. The
third small connector may need to be connected to the
SIR wiring harness using the J 38715 - 5 adapter.
Substitute the resistance of the inflater module in order
to determine whether .an inflator circuit component is
causing a system m.aifunction. Use the load tool
only when specifically called for in the diagnostic
procedures.
