Circuit/System Description |
The Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) is a high-speed multimedia network technology. The serial MOST
bus uses a ring topology and synchronous data communication to transmit audio, video, data and control information
between any devices attached.
The audio amplifier is a participant on the MOST network. The audio amplifier receives audio inputs and control
information from the MOST bus.
Each of the audio output channel circuits (+) and (-), at the audio amplifier have a DC bias voltage that is
approximately one half of the battery voltage. When using a DMM, each of the audio output channel circuits will
measure approximately 6.5 V DC. The audio being played on the system is produced by a varying AC voltage that is
centered around the DC bias voltage on the same circuit. The AC voltage is what causes the speaker cone to move
and produce sound.

Global Positioning System Short to Ground
Global Positioning System Open
Circuit/System Description
The navigation antenna is connected to the Telematics Communication Interface Control Module. The module
supplies 5 V to the antenna to power the internal amplifier through the center conductor of the antenna coax cable.
When the vehicle is equipped with the optional navigation system, a Navigation Antenna Signal Splitter is installed
to distribute the navigation signal to both the Telematics Communication Interface Control Module and the Human
Machine Interface Control Module. The Human Machine Interface Control Module supplies 5 V through the coax
cable to power the Navigation Antenna Signal Splitter.
Conditions for Running the DTC
• Radio On.
• System voltage is greater than 9 V and less than 16 V
• The navigation system/telematics communication interface control module tests the GPS antenna every 10 s.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The Telematics Communication Interface Control Module or Human Machine Interface Control Module detects a
short to ground on the GPS antenna signal circuit.
The Telematics Communication Interface Control Module or Human Machine Interface Control Module detects a
open/high resistance on the GPS antenna signal circuit.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• The Telematics Communication Interface Control Module or Human Machine Interface Control Module uses
the last reported position and the vehicle speed signal to calculate the vehicle position.
• Route guidance may be inaccurate.
• Turn by turn navigation may be inaccurate or inoperative.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
• The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.
• A history DTC will clear once 50 consecutive malfunction - free ignition cycles have occurred.
Diagnostic Aids
• The scan tool Telematics Communication Interface Control Module GPS signal parameter will display a Yes or
No dependent upon whether or not the module sees an increment of the seconds transmitted by GPS signals to
the Telematics Communication Interface Control Module. Upon entering this screen, the GPS signal title will
initially display Yes, regardless of the presence of time increment, for at least 2 seconds, while the algorithm in
the scan tool determines the status of the clock. If increment is found, Yes is continually displayed. If the clock
remains static, No is displayed. The scan tool looks for increment every second, regardless of current display.
• Inaccurate or aged GPS position concerns which are no longer present may have been due to the temporary
loss of GPS signal reception by the vehicle. Conditions such as tunnels or parking structures will restrict the
cellular phone and navigation antenna from a clear view of the satellites in the sky and may have caused this
temporary data loss.
• The GPS requires a clear line of sight to the sky to operate properly. In most cases the GPS will not have
reception near tall buildings or inside structures.

Diagnostic Fault Information
| Circuit | Short to | Open/High | Short to | Signal |
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Circuit/System Description |
The infotainment system has a USB port and a Auxiliary Audio Input Jack located in the center console. The
receptacle assembly receives fused battery voltage and ground from the harness to power the internal hub device as
well as providing additional amperage to power USB devices.
The internal hub device interfaces directly with the human machine interface control module via a standard USB
cable. A Mini type USB connector is used to connect the human machine interface control module and the USB
receptacle. Standard USB male to female connections are typically used for connecting USB cables together where
an in-line connection is required. An in-line cable connection is typically found between the console and I/P harness.
When a portable audio playback device is connected to the 3.5 mm (1/8 in.) auxiliary audio input jack an internal
switch opens the detection signal circuit within the hub. The HMI detects the device and AUX becomes available as
an audio source. Audio signals from the device are converted from analog to digital, these signals are then sent to the
HMI from the auxiliary input jack via USB.
The USB port allows connectivity to the infotainment system from portable media players or a USB storage device
(memory stick/flash drive). When a device is connected to the USB port, the system detects the device and switches
to USB as the audio source. Once connected, the device can be controlled from the radio controls.

DTC Descriptors
Global Positioning System Short to Ground
Global Positioning System Open
Circuit/System Description
The navigation antenna is connected to the Telematics Communication Interface Control Module. The module
supplies 5 V to the antenna to power the internal amplifier through the center conductor of the antenna coax cable.
When the vehicle is equipped with the optional navigation system, a Navigation Antenna Signal Splitter is installed
to distribute the navigation signal to both the Telematics Communication Interface Control Module and the Human
Machine Interface Control Module. The Human Machine Interface Control Module supplies 5 V through the coax
cable to power the Navigation Antenna Signal Splitter.
Conditions for Running the DTC
• Radio On.
• System voltage is greater than 9 V and less than 16 V
• The navigation system/telematics communication interface control module tests the GPS antenna every 10 s.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The Telematics Communication Interface Control Module or Human Machine Interface Control Module detects a
short to ground on the GPS antenna signal circuit.
The Telematics Communication Interface Control Module or Human Machine Interface Control Module detects a
open/high resistance on the GPS antenna signal circuit.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• The Telematics Communication Interface Control Module or Human Machine Interface Control Module uses
the last reported position and the vehicle speed signal to calculate the vehicle position.
• Route guidance may be inaccurate.
• Turn by turn navigation may be inaccurate or inoperative.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
• The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.
• A history DTC will clear once 50 consecutive malfunction - free ignition cycles have occurred.
Diagnostic Aids
• The scan tool Telematics Communication Interface Control Module GPS signal parameter will display a Yes or
No dependent upon whether or not the module sees an increment of the seconds transmitted by GPS signals to
the Telematics Communication Interface Control Module. Upon entering this screen, the GPS signal title will
initially display Yes, regardless of the presence of time increment, for at least 2 seconds, while the algorithm in
the scan tool determines the status of the clock. If increment is found, Yes is continually displayed. If the clock
remains static, No is displayed. The scan tool looks for increment every second, regardless of current display.
• Inaccurate or aged GPS position concerns which are no longer present may have been due to the temporary
loss of GPS signal reception by the vehicle. Conditions such as tunnels or parking structures will restrict the
cellular phone and navigation antenna from a clear view of the satellites in the sky and may have caused this
temporary data loss.
• The GPS requires a clear line of sight to the sky to operate properly. In most cases the GPS will not have
reception near tall buildings or inside structures.

Some vehicles equipped with the OnStarA® system have the capability of accessing voice mailboxes and other
automated phone systems by means of the steering wheel controls, while the OnStarA® Personal Calling feature is
in use. If the "Talk" or "Mute" button (depending upon the vehicle) on the steering wheel controls is depressed
during an OnStarA® Personal Calling call, the telematics communication interface control module receives the
message on the serial data bus from either the radio or body control module. This message is interpreted as a request
to turn any spoken numbers into dual tone multi-frequency tones to be delivered over the airwaves to the phone
system the user is communicating with. Complete instructions for operation of these features can be found in the
information provided to the customer with the OnStarA® system.
The steering wheel controls are a resistor network that consist of multiple momentary contact switches and a series
of resistors. The switches and resistor network are arranged so that each switch has a different resistance value.
When a switch is pressed, a voltage drop occurs in the resistor network, which produces a specific voltage value
unique to the switch selected, to be interpreted by either the radio or BCM. In the event the OnStarA® steering
wheel control functions are inoperative, technicians should refer to Steering Wheel Controls Malfunction , to begin
diagnosis of the steering wheel control concern.

Circuit/System Description |
Each of the audio output channel circuits (+) and (-), at the radio and audio amplifier (if equipped) have a DC bias
voltage that is approximately one half of battery voltage. When using a DMM, each of the audio output channel
circuits will measure approximately 6.5 V DC. The audio being played on the system is produced by a varying AC
voltage that is centered around the DC bias voltage on the same circuit. The AC voltage is what causes the speaker
cone to move and produce sound. The frequency (Hz) of the AC voltage signal is directly related to the frequency of
the input (audio source playing) to the audio system. Both the DC bias voltage and the AC voltage signals are needed
for the audio system to properly produce sound.
Diagnostic Aids
• Improper speaker mounting or loose trim may cause an audible buzz or distortion. Inspect the appropriate
speaker and the surrounding interior trim for proper and secure mounting.
The EL-50334-6 Audio System Diagnostic CD contains audio tracks that can be used to duplicate and isolate
such concerns. Tracks 11 and 12 contain audio sweep tones for testing for speaker and grill rattles.
If the speaker or surrounding interior trim is found to be loose or improperly secured, correctly secure the item.
• When equipped with an amplifier, it is possible for some individual circuit faults to affect more than one
speakers operation. Perform diagnostic tests in the sequence listed to avoid misdiagnosis.
• The amplifier control circuit will measure less than 1 V when the mute function is OFF, and approximately 8
V DC when at full mute. When mute is active, the radio stops sending the varying AC voltage to the
amplifier/speakers.

Telematics Communication Interface Control Module |
The OnStar Generation 10 system uses Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) to communicate data and
voice signals over the national cellular network. The module may also have the ability to act as a Wireless Local
Area Network (WLAN) Wi-Fi hotspot similar to a home wireless router. The module houses an internal WLAN
antenna enabling hotspot connectivity and streaming high speed media to the entertainment system. The module also
may enable Teletypewriter (TTY) and be capable of Bluetooth communication utilizing an internal antenna. The
module is capable of up to 4G LTE speeds and houses 2 technology systems, one to process Global Positioning
System (GPS) data, and another for cellular information. The module sends and receives all cellular communications
over two cellular antennas and cellular antenna coax cables.
The OnStar Gen 10 system has two antenna inputs, a primary cellular signal and a combined GPS/secondary cellular
signal. The OnStarA® system uses the United States Global Positioning System (GPS) signals to provide location on
demand. GPS is a space-based satellite navigation system that provides location and time information in all weather
conditions, anywhere on or near Earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites.
The module also has the capability of activating certain features such as, the horn, remote starting, initiating door
lock/unlock, or activating the exterior lamps using the serial data circuits. These functions can be commanded by the
OnStarA® Call Center per a customer request or mobile device app depending on vehicle and customer subscription.
Dedicated circuits are used to connect the telematics communication interface control module to a microphone, the
button assembly, radio, and if equipped the Back Up Battery (BUB). The telematics communication interface control
module communicates with the rest of the vehicle over the serial data bus.
Power is provided by a dedicated, fused B+ circuit. Ground is provided through the vehicle wiring harness attached
to the module. The power mode state is determined by the telematics communication interface control module
through serial data messaging.
OnStarA® Three Button Assembly
• The OnStarA® button assembly may be part of the rearview mirror, or a separate, stand alone unit. The button
assembly is comprised of 3 buttons or 3 capacitive touch buttons and status LED's or an error indicator. The
buttons are defined as follows:
• The answer/end button, which is black with a white phone icon or a white driver figure seated with voice
signals near its face, allows the user to answer and end calls or initiate speech recognition.
• The blue OnStarA® call center button, which displays the OnStarA® logo, allows the user to connect to
the OnStarA® call center.
• The emergency button, which displays white letters "SOS" with red background, sends a high priority
emergency call to the OnStarA® call center when pressed.
If the LED does not illuminate, this may indicate that the customers OnStarA® subscription is not active or has
expired. Push the blue OnStar button to connect to an advisor who can then verify the account status.
The telematics communication interface control module supplies 10 volts to the OnStarA® button assembly on the
keypad supply voltage circuit. When pressed, each button completes a circuit across a resistor allowing a specific
voltage to be returned to the telematics communication interface control module on the keypad signal circuit.
Depending upon the voltage range returned the telematics communication interface control module is able to identify
which button has been pressed.
The OnStarA® status LED or error indicator is located near the buttons. The LED is green when the system is ON
and operating normally. When any indicator is illuminated and flashing, it is an indication that a call is in progress.
When the LED is red, this indicates a system malfunction is present. In the event there is a system malfunction and
the OnStarA® system is still able to make a call, the LED will flash red during the call.
Each LED or error indicator is controlled by either the telematics communication interface control module over
dedicated LED signal circuits or by low speed GMLAN serial data depending on the inside rearview mirror option.
Ground for the LED is provided by the wiring harness attached to the button assembly.
Secondary OnStarA® Controls
Some vehicles may have an additional button that when pushed can engage the OnStarA® system. The button may
be a symbol of a face with sound waves, or may say MUTE, or be a symbol of a radio speaker with a slash through
it.
By engaging the OnStarA® system with this feature, the user can interact with the system by use of voice
commands. A complete list of these commands is supplied in the information provided to the customer. If the
information is not available for reference, at any command prompt the user can say "HELP" and the telematics
communication interface control module will return an audible list of available commands.
OnStarA® Microphone
The cellular microphone can be part of the rearview mirror assembly, or a stand-alone unit in the headliner or roof
console. In either case, the telematics communication interface control module supplies approximately 10V to the
microphone on the cellular microphone signal circuit. The microphone modifies the 10V depending on the volume
and voice being detected. A cellular microphone low reference circuit or a drain wire provides a ground for the
microphone. The microphone signal circuits pass through the telematics communication interface control module to
support entertainment voice recognition.
Cellular and GPS Antennas
The combination antenna will have any of the following antenna elements when equipped with OnStar:
• Primary cellular element
• Secondary cellular element
• GPS element
• Digital radio element
• AM/FM element
The Gen 10 OnStarA® system uses 2 cellular antenna elements to send and receive cellular data, the primary cellular
element and the secondary cellular element. The primary cellular signal is carried by a coax cable that connects the
antenna directly to the telematics communication interface control module. Details of the secondary cellular signal
are further described below.
The GPS antenna element is used to collect the signals of the orbiting GPS satellites. Within the antenna is housed a
low noise amplifier that allows for a more broad and precise reception of this data. Also housed within the antenna is
circuitry to combine the GPS signal and the secondary cellular signal. Without navigation, the combination
GPS/secondary cellular signal is carried by a coax cable that connects directly to the telematics communication
interface control module. The cable also provides a path for DC current for powering the antenna. With navigation,
the combination GPS/secondary cellular signal is carried by a coax cable that connects to the navigation signal
splitter. The splitter supplies the GPS signal to the navigation/entertainment system and the GPS/cellular signal to the
telematics communication interface control module.
The digital radio element collects digital radio signals from two satellites and where necessary terrestrial repeaters.
The digital radio signal is carried by a coax cable and connected to the digital radio receiver. Refer to Radio/Audio
System Description and Operation for further details.
The radio signal is sent from a broadcast station and is then received by the AM/FM radio antenna element. The
AM/FM radio signal is carried by a coax cable and is connected to the radio. Refer to Radio/Audio System
Description and Operation for further details.
OnStarA® RemoteLink
OnStarA® RemoteLink is a mobile app to link mobile devices to a vehicle for limited diagnostics and feature
controls. After downloading the app and registering the device, vehicle owners with an eligible vehicle can use their
mobile devices to access real-time data from their vehicle and perform specific commands remotely.
All communication between the app and the vehicle is powered by OnStar'sA® advanced connected vehicle
technology. An active OnStarA® account as well as a valid OnStarA® username and password are required to use
the app. The remote commands must be enabled by logging into the user's OnStarA® account prior to using the app.
Refer to the owners manual for available vehicle data and control features.
Compass Heading
The telematics communication interface module has a compass feature to calculate vehicle direction which is
displayed via the instrument panel cluster or designated display. The compass heading is determined by dead
reckoning until the GPS 3d fix is established. The dead reckoning is accomplished by using the yaw rate sensors and
wheel ticks to determine heading changes from a GPS known heading. The GPS 3d fix heading is determined by the
deferential of two locations. If "CAL" is displayed on the Instrument Panel Cluster or designated display refer to the
owners manual for steps to calibrate the compass.
BluetoothA® (If Equipped)
BluetoothA® wireless technology is a short-range communications technology intended to replace the cables
connecting portable and/or fixed devices while maintaining high levels of security. Only vehicles with steering wheel
controls will have BluetoothA® functionality. In order to utilize the vehicle's BluetoothA® system, a BluetoothA®
equipped cellular phone is required.
The BluetoothA® antenna is internal to the telematics communication interface control module, radio or human
machine interface module and is used to send and receive signals from a BluetoothA® enabled cellular phone. The
available features and functions are determined by the software within the device being used and the telematics
communication interface control module. The operating range of the signal from the vehicle is approximately 30
feet. Note that the operating range is dependent upon the cellular phone being used and battery level of the phone.
With BluetoothA® technology customers can experience hands-free calling as their BluetoothA® capable cellular
phones are wirelessly connected to the vehicle. It will allow customers to place and receive calls using the steering
wheel controls and voice recognition. The vehicle audio system will allow you to listen to your call through the
vehicle speakers and adjust volume through steering wheel or radio controls.
Not all BluetoothA® cellular phones are guaranteed to work with the vehicle's BluetoothA® system. Based on the
cellular phone's service provider and the manufacturer's implementation of BluetoothA®, not all phones support all
available BluetoothA® functionality. BluetoothA® enabled cellular phones will be tested for vehicle compatibility
and a feature compatibility list will be provided via the GM BluetoothA® website: http://www.gm.com/vc/bluetooth/
BluetoothA® Features Supported
The following is a list of features supported by the BluetoothA® system. Note that not all devices will support all of
the listed functions.
• Automatic reconnection - highest priority phone will automatically be connected to vehicle when vehicle
ignition is on
• Hands-free dialing- via digits, redial, name tags (phone number saved to a nametag via voice recognition)
• Answering a call
• Ending a call
• Mute a Call
• Rejecting a call - ignore an incoming call
• Call Waiting
• Three-way Calling - initiated from hands-free system
• Send Number During a Call - this is used when calling a menu-driven phone system
• Transfer a Call - transfer call from vehicle to cellular phone and visa versa
• Voice Pass-Thru - allow access to the voice recognition commands on the cellular phone
Pairing a BluetoothA® Cellular Phone to the Vehicle
In order to use hands-free calling, the cellular phone must be paired to the vehicle. Up to five devices can be paired
to the vehicle at one time, but only one can be connected at any given time. To pair a phone, the customer must know
how to operate the BluetoothA® functionality of their phone. The pairing process must only be done one time for
each phone, unless that phone's information is deleted. The system will always generate a password and will provide
that password if the device you are pairing does not support Secure Simple Pairing (SSP). If the device being paired
does support SSP the system will not provide the password and automatically pair the device. For safety reasons, the
pairing process is disabled while the vehicle is moving.
Once the BluetoothA® cellular phone has been paired with vehicle, it will automatically connect to the vehicle when
the ignition is on and the device is on. When more than one paired phone is in the vehicle, the phone with the highest
priority will be connected. If the cellular phone is in use while getting into the vehicle, the phone can be switched to
hands-free mode with the press of a button. In addition, a call in progress can be transferred from the vehicle hands-
free mode to the phone to continue the call as the customer exits the vehicle.
Complete pairing instructions are provided in the Vehicle Owners Manual.
Back-up Battery (If Equipped)
NOTE: Do not disconnect the main vehicle battery or remove the OnStarA® fuse with the
ignition key in any position other than OFF. Disconnecting power to the OnStarA®
module in any way while the ignition is ON or with retained accessory power
activated may cause activation of the OnStarA® Back-Up Battery. This action is per
design as the back-up battery is designed to provide power to the telematics
communication interface control module so an emergency notification call can be
made after an event where the main battery is disabled. Once the Back-Up Battery is
activated it will stay on until the power is restored back to the telematics
communication interface control module. The telematics communication interface
control module naturally chooses the main supply voltage as it's default supply, but
if the main supply is removed or lost for any reason the OnStarA® module will use
the Back-Up Battery as a power supply as long as the default supply can not be
detected. The back-up battery is not rechargeable and once discharged below 9.5
volts the back-up battery must be replaced.
Certain OnStarA® equipped vehicles may also be equipped with a back-up battery. The back-up battery is a non-
rechargeable, lithium battery intended to provide an auxiliary power source for the telematics communication
interface control module in the event where power from the main vehicle battery is lost.
The back-up battery is intended to have a limited life span of approximately 4 years and is designed to maintain an
open circuit voltage between 16 V and 9 V throughout this period. This allows the battery to power the basic
functions of the telematics communication interface control module for least one 200 second (5 minute) call at the
end of the 4 year span, should the main vehicle battery be lost. In the case of a vehicle losing vehicle battery power,
OnStar will switch over to the backup battery based on an internal algorithm. It will look for an air-bag deploy, or
near-deploy, messages from the SDM. If there are no messages the OnStar module will stay wake for a few minutes
longer and monitor the buttons in the mirror. If not pressed, the modules will power down and shut off completely.
The back-up battery is connected to the telematics communication interface control module through the back-up
battery positive voltage circuit and back-up battery ground circuit and is protected from a short circuit by means of
an internal fuse. In the event the back-up battery, battery positive voltage circuit is shorted to the back-up battery
ground circuit or chassis ground, the fuse will open and render the back-up battery permanently inoperable. The
status of the back-up battery and its associated wiring is monitored by the telematics communication interface
control module.
WiFi Hotspot
The telematics communication interface control module acts as a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) WiFi
hotspot router and uses direct 4G LTE connectivity to the internet. It has the ability to connect up to 7 devices at one
time. A data plan is required and when purchased, a security default password is established. There are several ways
to change the SSID or password, by placing a call to the OnStar Call Center, by using the Gen 10 mobile app or
through the scan tool.
The system utilizes a secure autoconnect feature between the telematics communication interface control module and
the radio/HMI. No user interaction is required, it is always available and ready to connect to a dedicated in car
device. The ignition must be in Run, Accessory or RAP for WiFi to operate.
Audio System Interface
When the OnStarA® requires audio output, a serial data message is sent to the audio system to mute all radio
functions and transmit OnStarA® originated audio. The OnStarA® audio is transmitted to the vehicle audio system
by a dedicated signal circuit and a low reference circuit.
The audio system will mute and an audible ring will be heard though the speakers if the vehicle receives a call with
the radio ON.
On some vehicles, the HVAC blower speed may be reduced when the OnStarA® system is active to aid in reducing
interior noise. When the system is no longer active, the blower speed will return to its previous setting.
OnStarA® Sleep Cycle
The OnStarA® system uses a unique sleep cycle to allow the system to receive cellular calls while the ignition is in
the OFF position and retained accessory power mode has ended. This cycle enables the telematics communication
interface control module to perform remote functions, such as door unlock, as commanded over the air by the
OnStarA® Call Center, and to continue to maintain an acceptable level of battery electrical drain.
The OnStarA® system uses 4 states of readiness, depending upon the type of cellular market the vehicle is in when
the ignition is put into the OFF state:
• High power
• Low power
• Sleep
• Digital standby
The high power state is in effect whenever the ignition is in the ON or RUN position, or retained accessory power is
enabled, and the OnStarA® system is sending or receiving calls or when the system is performing a remote function.
The low power state is in effect when the OnStarA® system is idle with the ignition in the ON or RUN position, or
with retained accessory power enabled.
The sleep state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the retained accessory power has timed out while in
an analog cellular area. At a predetermined time recorded within the telematics communication interface control
module, the system re-enters the low power state to listen for a call from the OnStarA® Call Center for 1 minute.
After this interval, the system will again return to the sleep state for 9 minutes. If a call is sent during the 1 minute
interval, the OnStarA® system will receive the call and immediately go into the high power mode to perform any
requested functions. If no call is received during the 1 minute interval, the system will go back into the sleep mode
for another 9 minutes. This process will continue for up to 48 hours, after which the OnStarA® system will turn off
until the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position.
The digital standby power state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the retained accessory power has
timed out while in a digital cellular area. When in digital standby mode, the OnStarA® module is able to perform all
remote functions as commanded by an OnStarA® advisor at any time, for a continuous 120 hours. After 120 hours,
the OnStarA® module will go into sleep mode until a wake up signal from the vehicle is seen by the telematics
communication interface control module. If the OnStar module loses the digital cellular signal it will revert to analog
mode and follow the standard sleep state (9 minutes OFF, 1 minute standby) based on the time of the GPS signals,
this will continue until a digital cellular signal is again received.
If the OnStarA® system loses battery power while the system is in a standby or sleep mode, the system will remain
OFF until battery power is restored and the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position.
Features
The hands free, OnStarA® personal calling cellular phone feature is an additional feature of the OnStarA® system.
This feature is embedded within the telematics communication interface control module; however it must be
activated by an OnStarA® advisor. OnStarA® personal calling operates similar to most hand held cellular phones in
that the availability for its usage is based on minutes or units. The customer must have a current OnStarA®
subscription, as this feature cannot be utilized without it. To use OnStarA® personal calling, the customer must also
purchase units (minutes) as outlined in the owners guide provided with the OnStarA® system. Units begin to deplete,
1 unit is equal to 1 minute, as the customer makes outbound phone calls, answers inbound phone calls, or while
connected to the OnStarA® virtual advisor. In addition, units may also have an expiration date, depending upon the
type of units purchased.
Customers have the ability to store telephone numbers within the module, referenced by a nametag for the
convenience of frequently dialed numbers. After storing a nametag, the user can dial this number by initiating the
OnStarA® personal calling feature, speaking the word "call," and repeating the nametag assigned.
Turn by Turn Navigation allows the driver to contact OnStarA® to obtain directions for driving from a current
location to a desired location. The Turn by Turn Navigation system stores your planned route and continually checks
your position along that route, when you deviate from the planned route, the system will recognize this and prompt
the driver with verbal prompts for how to proceed. The driver then responds verbally to direct the system to continue
the current routing or to recalculate the route because of a missed turn.
The Advisor Record Feature allows the user to store any information given during a call with an OnStarA® Advisor.
Recording is activated by pressing the blue OnStar button during a call; pressing the button a second time stops the
recording. The stored information can be played back by pressing the phone button on the three button assembly and
using the voice command "Advisor Playback".
Teletypewriter (TTY) Users
OnStar has the ability to communicate to deaf, hard-of-hearing, or speech-impaired customers while in the vehicle.
The available dealer-installed TTY system can provide in-vehicle access to all of the OnStar services, except Virtual
Advisor and OnStar Turn-by-Turn Navigation.
Deactivated OnStarA® Accounts
In the event a customer has not renewed their OnStarA® account after expiration or the account was never activated,
OnStarA® will make a discrete cellular call to the vehicle to deactivate the OnStarA® system. Before taking this
action, customers are notified that the OnStarA® system in their vehicle will be deactivated unless they elect to
renew the account. After the OnStarA® account has been deactivated, customers will experience the following:
• The OnStarA® status LED will not illuminate.
• The OnStarA® system will NOT attempt to connect to the OnStarA® Call Center in the event of a collision or
if the vehicle's front air bags deploy for any other reason.
• An emergency button press will play a demo message indicating the service has been deactivated.
• An OnStarA® Call Center button press will connect the customer with a dedicated sales team who can sell an
OnStarA® subscription and reactivate the vehicle. Depending on the type of OnStarA® hardware in the
vehicle, the customer may first hear a demonstration message stating there is no current OnStarA®
subscription for the vehicle, and directing the customer what to do to activate services.
• OnStarA® personal calling will not be available, as this feature requires the customer to have a current
OnStarA® account. Attempts to use this feature may result in cellular connection failure messages and the
inability to connect to the number dialed.
Certain vehicles that have never had an active OnStarA® account, or that have been deactivated, may be unable to
establish a connection with the OnStarA® Call Center. When normal published diagnostic procedures do not indicate
a possible cause for the no connect concern, the vehicle may have been deactivated. For deactivated vehicles, a no
connect response should be considered normal operation. Further diagnosis and subsequent repair is only necessary
should the customer elect to become an active OnStarA® subscriber or renew the account subscription.
OnStarA® Cellular, GPS, and Diagnostic Limitations
The proper operation of the OnStarA® System is dependent on several elements outside the components integrated
into the vehicle. These include the National Cellular Network Infrastructure, the cellular telephone carriers within the
network, and the GPS.
The cellular operation of the OnStarA® system may be inhibited by factors such as the users range from an analog or
digital cellular tower, the state of the cellular carrier's equipment, and the location where the call is placed. Making
an OnStarA® key press in areas that lack sufficient cellular coverage or have a temporary equipment failure will
result in either the inability of a call to complete with a data transfer or the complete inability to connect to the
OnStarA® Call Center. The OnStarA® system may also experience connection issues if the identification numbers
for the module, station identification number, electronic serial number or manufacturers electronic ID, are not
recognized by the cellular carriers local signal receiving towers.
The satellites that orbit earth providing the OnStar system with GPS data have almost no failures associated with
them. In the event of a no GPS concern, the failure will likely lie with the inability of the system to gain GPS signals
because of its location, i.e. in a parking structure, hardware failure, or being mistaken with an OnStarA® call which
has reached the Call Center without vehicle data.
During diagnostic testing of the OnStarA® system, the technician should ensure the vehicle is located in an area that
has a clear unobstructed view of the open sky, and preferably, an area where analog or digital cellular calls have been
successfully placed. These areas can be found by successfully making an OnStarA® keypress in a known good
OnStarA® equipped vehicle and confirming success with the OnStarA® Call Center advisor. Such places can be
used as a permanent reference for future OnStarA® testing.
Mobile Identification Number and Mobile Directory Number
The telematics communication interface control module utilizes 2 numbers for cellular device identification, call
routing and connection, a mobile identification number and a mobile directory number. The mobile identification
number represents the number used by the cellular carrier for call routing purposes while the mobile directory
number represents the number dialed to reach the cellular device.
Operation of the OnStarA® Speech Recognition Systems
OnStarA® users communicate with 2 speech recognition systems. Speech recognition allows the user to speak to one
computer in the vehicle, and one reached over a phone line. The computer tries to understand the users command,
and responds by speaking back, or by taking the appropriate action, e.g. dialing the phone.
• Personal Calling uses a speech recognition system that resides in the vehicle. When the user presses the phone
button, the system states, Ready, and listens for the user's command. The user can speak commands to control
the hands-free phone.
• Virtual advisor is a remote speech recognition system that the caller can access by making a phone call. The
user connects to virtual advisor by requesting it during personal calling use. The user is then transferred to the
virtual advisor server and talks to it via a cellular connection.
The OnStarA® speech recognition systems use speech technology that is designed to understand a wide range of
American English speakers. Although there is no one right way to speak English, the system will work best when
users try to modify their pronunciation should they encounter difficulty. Users who do not obtain good results are
advised to try the tips and workarounds found in the Infotainment System Manual or the Owners Manual.
The entertainment system on this vehicle may have several different configurations available to it. To determine the
specific configuration of the vehicle, please see the Service Parts ID Label, and refer to RPO Code List .

Radio Circuit Operation
The radio does not use a discrete ignition feed circuit for power moding. The power mode master provides the
system power mode to the radio via serial data messages. The power mode master determines the system power
mode by processing power mode information from ignition switch inputs. Serial data power modes supported by the
radio are OFF, ACCESSORY, RUN, and CRANK REQUEST.
The vehicle harness provides a ground for the radio circuits. The radio may also be case grounded.
The radio communicates with other modules via serial data.
Each of the audio output channel circuits (+) and (-), at the radio have a DC bias voltage that is approximately one
half of battery voltage. The audio being played on the system is produced by a varying AC voltage that is centered
around the DC bias voltage on the same circuit. The AC voltage is what causes the speaker cone to move and
produce sound. The frequency (Hz) of the AC voltage signal is directly related to the frequency of the input (audio
source playing) to the audio system. Both the DC bias voltage and the AC voltage signals are needed for the audio
system to properly produce sound.
The remote enable circuit is a discrete 12 V signal supplied to infotainment system components when the radio is
producing audio, needs the front display on, needs video entertainment system components on, or needs to produce
chimes. This signal is used to control the power state of the components. There is no output on radio the remote
enable circuit when the vehicle is in the CRANK powermode, this is to minimize current consumption from the
attached modules and also to avoid audio pops during crank events.

The info display module has continuous power and ground. When the radio is on, a discrete 12 V signal is supplied
on the remote enable circuit to the color display module. This signal is used to control the power state of the module,
which is active when the signal is high and inactive when the signal is low.
The info display module receives digital video data from the radio for on-screen display information through a
dedicated video cable. The radio communicates with the info display module over the touch screen serial data
circuits for touch screen inputs and backlighting dimming level.
The radio controls communicate radio control inputs directly to the radio through the CAN Graphical Interface (CGI)
data circuits. After receiving the message the radio will perform the requested function. Messages communicated
between the radio and the radio/HVAC controls include the following:
• Button presses/knob rotations
• Commands for the state of indicators
• Radio control back-lighting
The HVAC controls are a separate component from the radio controls. HVAC data for controls and status indicators
is communicated between the HVAC controls and the HVAC control module with a separate LIN serial data circuit.
HVAC status screen information from the HVAC control module is transmitted to the radio on the GMLAN serial
data circuit. The radio then displays the desired screen information on the info display using the video data circuits.
Antenna System
The multi-band antenna is located on the roof of the vehicle. This type of antenna may be used with the AM/FM
radio, but is primarily for OnStarA® cellular and GPS signals and the XM™ Satellite Radio Service System, if the
vehicle has these features. Keep this antenna clear of snow and ice build up for clear reception. If the vehicle has a
sunroof, the performance of the system may be affected if the sunroof is open. Loading items onto the roof of the
vehicle can interfere with the performance of the system, ensure the multi-band antenna is not obstructed.
The radio provides battery voltage to the AM/FM amplifier in the antenna base using the center conductor of the
antenna coaxial cable. When a 12 V signal is seen by the amplifier, both AM and FM signals are amplified.
Radio Reception
The radio signal is sent from a broadcast station and is then received by an antenna. The strength of the signal
received depends on the following:
• The power output (wattage) of the broadcasting station
• The location of the vehicle (or receiver) relative to the broadcast tower.
• Height of the broadcast antenna
• Height of the receiving antenna
• Obstacles between the tower and the receiver
• Atmospheric conditions
• What band (AM or FM) the station is broadcasting
• Type of antenna and the ground plane
The XM satellite receiver is integrated into the radio. XM satellite radio provides digital radio reception. The XM
signal is broadcast from two satellites and, where necessary, terrestrial repeaters. The high power satellites allow the
antenna to receive the XM signal even when foliage and other partial obstructions block the antennas view of the
satellite. Terrestrial repeaters are used in dense urban areas. These repeaters will receive the satellite signal and re-
broadcast them at much higher power levels in order to ensure reception in areas with densely packed tall buildings.
A service fee is required in order to receive the XM service.
Radio Data System (RDS)
The RDS feature is available only on FM stations that broadcast RDS information. This system relies upon receiving
specific information from these stations and only works when the information is available. While the radio is tuned
to an FM-RDS station, the station name or call letters display. RDS data is carried in what is known as a "subcarrier".
A subcarrier is a frequency that the FM broadcaster is authorized to use to send data that is not audible in the main
audio program.
RDS functions will only work with FM broadcast stations that are broadcasting RDS data. Not all FM Broadcast
stations broadcast RDS data or offer all of the RDS services.
The information displayed is dependent upon the information broadcast by the particular station. The information
may vary greatly between stations. RDS functions may not work properly when reception is weak, reception is of
poor quality, or RDS is not implemented properly by the FM Broadcaster. In some cases, a radio station broadcasting
incorrect information may cause the RDS features of the radio to appear to work improperly.
With RDS, the radio can do the following:
• Display text information such as: station identification, type of programming, and general information (artist
and song title, station messages, call in phone numbers, etc.).
• Seek to stations broadcasting the selected type of programming
• Receive announcements concerning local and national emergencies
• Receive alert warnings of local or national emergencies. When an alert announcement comes on the current
radio station, ALERT! displays. You will hear the announcement, even if the volume is low or a CD is playing.
If a CD is playing, play stops during the announcement. Alert announcements cannot be turned off. ALERT! is
not affected by tests of the emergency broadcast system. This feature is not supported by all RDS stations.
Speaker Operation
Speakers turn electrical energy into mechanical energy to move air, using a permanent magnet and an electromagnet.
The electromagnet is energized when the radio or amplifier (if equipped) delivers current to the voice coil on the
speaker. The voice coil will form a north and south pole that will cause the voice coil and the speaker cone to move
in relation to the permanent magnet. The current delivered to the speaker is rapidly changing alternating current
(A/C). This causes the speaker cone to move in two directions producing sound.
Audio Amplifier (If equipped)
A fused battery voltage circuit provides the main amplifier power. A switched 12 V output from the radio is used to
control the power - state of the amplifier. To respond quickly to audio input and control signals, the amplifier is ON
in all vehicle power modes except OFF and CRANK Request. The internal amplifier bridges are fully powered and
unmuted when the amplifier receives the switched 12 V input.
The purpose of the amplifier is to increase the power of a voltage or current signal. The output signal of an amplifier
may consist of the same frequencies as the input signal or it may consist of only a portion of the frequencies as in the
case of a subwoofer or midrange speaker. The radio creates a low level stereo audio output signal, which is sent at
the user-defined volume level to the audio amplifier. The audio amplifier amplifies the signal and sends it to the
appropriate speakers. Each of the audio output channel circuits (+) and (-), from the amplifier have a DC bias voltage
that is approximately one half of battery voltage. The audio being played on the system is produced by a varying AC
voltage that is centered around the DC bias voltage on the same circuit. The AC voltage is what causes the speaker
cone to move and produce sound. The frequency (Hz) of the AC voltage signal is directly related to the frequency of
the input (audio source playing) to the audio system. Both the DC bias voltage and the AC voltage signals are needed
for the audio system to properly produce sound.
Theft Deterrent
The radio theft deterrent system is intended to disable or limit radio functionality if incorrect vehicle information is
received by the radio. The radio disables functionality if the VIN information received by the radio does not match
the VIN information that has been learned by the radio. The radio receives this information via serial data. A possible
cause of incorrect VIN info could be the radio was originally installed in another vehicle.
The radio has the following theft operating modes as part of the theft deterrent system:
• Normal Mode: The radio has learned a correct VIN sequence and the VIN information received via serial data
matches the learned VIN sequence. In this mode the radio has full functionality.
• No VIN Mode: The radio has not received or learned a correct VIN sequence. In this mode the radio has
limited functionality.
• Theft Detected Mode: The radio has learned a correct VIN sequence and the VIN information received via
serial data does NOT match the learned VIN sequence. In this mode the radio may be disabled or have limited
functionality. The radio display will indicate that theft protection is active.
Auxiliary Audio Input Jack (If equipped)
The infotainment system may have a 3.5 mm (1/8 in.) auxiliary audio input jack located in the center console. The
auxiliary audio input jack may interface directly with the radio, or be connected to the infotainment system via a
Multimedia Player Interface Module. When a portable audio playback device is connected to the auxiliary jack, an
internal switch detects the connection and the radio will switch to AUX as the audio source. Audio signals from the
device are sent to the radio from the auxiliary jack via the left, right, and common audio signal circuits.
• When a device is first connected to the 3.5 mm (1/8 in.) input jack the infotainment system automatically
switches to that device. If an auxiliary device has already been connected, press the AUX or CD/AUX button
to select the device.
• Playback of an audio device that is connected to the 3.5 mm jack can only be controlled using the controls on
the device.
• The volume control on the device may need to be adjusted to ensure sufficient playback volume through the
infotainment system.
USB Port (If Equipped)
The infotainment system may have a USB connector located in the center console. The USB connector may interface
directly with the radio, or be connected to the infotainment system via a Multimedia Player Interface Module. The
USB connector supports both USB standards 1.1 and 2.0.
USB Supported Devices:
• USB Flash Sticks (Thumb Drives)
• Portable USB Hard Drives
• Portable Digital Media Players (iPODA®, ZUNEA®, etc)
Depending on the USB device, some devices may not be recognized, or some features/functions may not be able to
be controlled with the radio controls. USB HUB devices are not supported.
BluetoothA® (If Equipped)
BluetoothA® wireless technology is a short-range communications technology intended to replace the cables
connecting portable and/or fixed devices while maintaining high levels of security. The operating range of the signal
is approximately 30 feet.
The available features and functions are determined by the type of device and the software within the devices being
used. For a feature or function to operate, it must be supported in both devices.
The first connection between devices is established through a process called pairing. In order to pair two devices, a
password (passkey) has to be exchanged between the two devices. One device will generate the password, the other
device accepts the password to complete the process. Once the devices are paired, future connections between the
devices will occur automatically when the devices are on and within range of each other.
The BluetoothA® hardware is internal to the radio. The radio supports streaming of data (music, voice, information)

Navigation System Components and Features (if equipped)
The navigation system, if equipped, provides the following:
• Connection to the global positioning system (GPS) antenna, which provides the vehicle position information.
• Route guidance with verbal prompts to the operator.
• Map data for navigation and map route guidance, stored on the internal hard drive.
• Traffic and weather information for display on the navigation system map (with active subscription, where
available).
The global positioning system (GPS) antenna is part of the multi-band antenna located on the roof of the vehicle. The
GPS antenna is used to collect the signals of the orbiting GPS satellites. Within the antenna is housed a low noise
amplifier that allows for a more broad and precise reception of this data. The GPS antenna amplifier is powered
through the coaxial cable.
The antenna is connected to the navigation radio through a signal splitter. The signal splitter is a component for
dividing the navigation signal into two paths without any transmission loss. This allows the use of a single GPS
antenna to provide a signal to both the navigation radio and the telematics communication interface module.
The map will display the route to the selected destination. Voice prompts alert the operator of upcoming events
(turns) and arrivals at the destination. The navigation system will automatically recalculate if the route is not
followed. The navigation radio uses data received from the global positioning system (GPS) satellites, the vehicle
speed signal. and serial data information to accurately display the current position of the vehicle.
The map database provides point of interest information. Points of interests are locations that are frequently visited.
Points of interest can be can be displayed on the map or set as a destination. The following are some of the available
Points of interests:
• Gas Station
• Restaurant
• College
• Police Station

Cruise Control Brake Switch Circuit
Circuit/System Description
The engine control module (ECM) monitors the brake pedal position sensor. When the brake pedal is applied,
the ECM detects a predetermined voltage signal. The ECM sends a serial data message to the body control
module (BCM) indicating the status of the stop lamps.
This diagnostic test functions on the assumption that a sudden decrease in vehicle speed is caused by a brake
pedal application. When the ECM detects that there is a 4.2 km/h (2.6 mph) or greater decrease in vehicle speed
within 0.25 s without a transition of the stop lamp switch, the ECM sets DTC P0571.
Conditions for Running the DTC
• The engine speed is greater than 700 RPM.
• The traction control system or the antilock brake system are not active and have not malfunctioned.
• The vehicle speed is greater than 48 km/h (30 mph).
• The diagnostic will disable when the wheel speed is less than 16 km/h (10 mph).
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The BCM detects either a low voltage signal on the stop lamp switch signal circuit when the serial data message
from the ECM indicates the brakes are applied, or a high voltage signal on the stop lamp switch signal circuit
when the serial data message from the ECM indicates the brakes are not applied.
Actions Taken When the DTC Sets
• The cruise control system is disabled.
• The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
• The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.

Cruise control is a speed control system that maintains a desired vehicle speed under normal driving conditions
at speeds above 40 km/h (25 mph). Steep grades may cause variations in the selected vehicle speeds.
The following are the main components of the Cruise Control System:
• The accelerator pedal
• The brake pedal position (BPP) sensor
• The body control module (BCM)
• The cruise on/off switch
• The cruise control cancel switch
• The + RES switch (equivalent to resume/accelerate switch)
• The - SET switch (equivalent to set/coast switch)
• The engine control module (ECM)
• The throttle actuator control (TAC) motor (gasoline engines only)
• The vehicle speed sensor
The body control module (BCM) monitors the signal circuit of the cruise control switches, which are located on
the steering wheel. The BCM relays the cruise control switch status to the engine control module (ECM) via the
serial data circuit. The ECM uses the status of the cruise control switch to determine when to capture and
maintain the vehicle speed. The ECM monitors the vehicle speed signal circuit in order to determine the desired
vehicle speed.
Voltage is supplied to the cruise control switch via the steering wheel control switch reference voltage circuit
supplied by the BCM. The cruise control function switches are arranged in a resistive ladder design, with each
cruise control function switch having a different resistance value. The BCM detects a specific voltage value that
is associated with the cruise control function switch being activated. The BCM sends a serial data message to
the ECM indicating that the on/off switch is active. Similarly, when the normally open + RES switch or the
normally open - SET switch are pressed, the switch closes and the BCM detects the predetermined voltage
signal on the cruise control resume/accel and set/coast switch signal circuit. The BCM sends a serial data
message to the ECM indicating that the + RES switch or the - SET switch is active.
Cruise Control Engaged
The Cruise Control System will engage and adjust vehicle speeds, based on the activation of the following
cruise control switches, which are located on the steering wheel:
• On/Off
• + RES
• - SET
To engage the Cruise Control System, ensure that the vehicle speed is above 40.2 km/h (25 mph), turn the cruise
On/Off switch ON and momentarily press the - SET switch. The ECM will engage the Cruise Control System
and record the vehicle speed. The ECM sends a serial data message to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) in
order to illuminate the Cruise Engaged indicator in the IPC. Refer to the vehicle owner's manual for the location
and operation of the cruise control On/Off indicators and driver information center (DIC) messages.
Pressing the accelerator pedal while the Cruise Control System is engaged, allows the driver to override the
Cruise Control System in order to accelerate the vehicle beyond the current set vehicle speed. When the
accelerator pedal is released, the vehicle will decelerate and resume the current set vehicle speed.
The driver can also override the current set vehicle speed via the - SET switch and the + RES switch. When the
Cruise Control System is engaged, pressing and holding the - SET switch will allow the vehicle to decelerate
from the current set vehicle speed without deactivating the Cruise Control System. When the - SET switch is
released, the ECM will record the vehicle speed and maintain the vehicle speed as the new set vehicle speed.
When the Cruise Control System is engaged, momentarily pressing the - SET switch will allow the vehicle to
decelerate at a vehicle specific calibratable increment, commonly 1 km/h or 1 mph, each time that the - SET is
momentarily pressed, with a minimum vehicle speed of 38 km/h (24 mph). Refer to the vehicle Owner's Manual
for more information.
Pressing and holding the + RES switch, when the Cruise Control System is engaged, will allow the vehicle to
accelerate to a greater vehicle speed than the current set vehicle speed. When the + RES switch is released, the
ECM will record the vehicle speed and maintain the vehicle speed as the new set vehicle speed. When the
Cruise Control System is engaged, momentarily pressing the + RES switch will allow the vehicle to accelerate
at a vehicle specific calibratable increment, commonly 1 km/h or 1 mph, each time that the + RES switch is
momentarily pressed. Momentarily activating the + RES switch will recall the previous vehicle speed, after the
cruise control system has been disengaged by pressing the brake pedal, or CANCEL switch. Refer to the vehicle
Owner's Manual for more information.
Cruise Control Disengaged
The engine control module (ECM) disengages the cruise control operation based on the signals from the
following switches:
• The brake pedal position (BPP) sensor
• The On/Off switch
• The cruise control cancel switch
The Cruise Control System will disengage when the brake pedal is applied. The body control module (BCM)
monitors the BPP sensor via the BPP sensor signal circuit as the voltage signal increases while the pedal is
further applied. The ECM monitors the BPP signal through a discrete input and a serial data message signal
from the BCM indicating the brake status. When either signal indicates the brake pedal is applied, the ECM will
disengage the cruise control system.
The Cruise Control System will also disengage when the cruise control on/off switch is switched OFF, or the
cruise control cancel switch is activated. The body control module (BCM) determines when the cruise control
cancel switch is activated. When the normally open cancel switch is closed, the BCM detects the predetermined
voltage signal on the cruise control function switch circuit. The vehicle speed stored in the memory of the
engine control module will be erased when the cruise control On/Off switch is turned OFF, or the ignition
switch is turned OFF. The BCM sends a serial data message to the ECM in order to disengage the cruise control
system. When the Cruise Control System has been disengaged, the ECM sends a serial message to the
instrument panel cluster (IPC) in order to turn OFF the Cruise Engaged indicator.
Every time the Cruise Control System is disengaged, the ECM will keep track of the reason for system
disengagement. The last 8 disengagement reasons will be recorded within the ECM memory. The scan tool will
display the last 8 Cruise Disengage History parameters, in which one out of approximately 50 possible reasons
will be displayed in each of these 8 parameters. For the disengagement reason to be displayed within the scan
tool parameter the Cruise Control System is active and disengagement is requested.
When engagement of the system is requested but an engagement inhibit is present, the most recent inhibit
reason is recorded in the ECM history. The scan tool will display the most recent inhibit reason, in which one
out of approximately 50 possible reasons will be displayed.
Cruise Control Inhibited
The engine control module (ECM) inhibits the cruise control operation when any of the following conditions
exist:
• The ECM has not detected a brake pedal activation from the body control module (BCM) this ignition
cycle.
• A Cruise Control System DTC has been set.
• The vehicle speed is less than 38.6 km/h (24 mph).
• The vehicle speed is too high.
• The vehicle is in PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, or 1st gear.
• The engine RPM is low.
• The engine RPM is high.
• The system voltage is not between 9 volts and 16 volts.
• The Antilock Brake System (ABS)/Traction Control System (TCS) is active for more than a calibratable
time (typically 0.3 to 0.7 seconds).

ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The body control system consists of the body control module (BCM), communications, and various input and
outputs. Some inputs, outputs and messages require other modules to interact with the BCM. The BCM also has
discrete input and output terminals to control the vehicle's body functions. The BCM is wired to the high speed
GMLAN serial data bus, low speed GMLAN serial data bus and Multiple LIN buses and acts as a gateway
between them.
Power Mode Master
This vehicle body control module (BCM) functions as the power mode master (PMM). The ignition switch is a
low current switch with multiple discrete ignition switch signals to the PMM for determining the power mode
that will be sent over the serial data circuits to the other modules that need this information; the PMM will
activate relays and other direct outputs of the PMM as needed. Refer to Power Mode Description and
Operation for a complete description of power mode functions.
Gateway
The body control module (BCM) in this vehicle functions as a gateway or translator. The purpose of the
gateway is to translate serial data messages between the GMLAN high speed bus and the GMLAN low speed
bus for communication between the various modules. The gateway will interact with each network according to
that network's transmission protocol.
All communication between the BCM and a scan tool is on the high speed GMLAN serial data circuits. A lost
communication DTC typically is set in modules other than the module with a communication failure.
Body Control
The various body control module (BCM) input and output circuits are illustrated in the corresponding functional
areas on the BCM electrical schematics. Refer to the Body Control System Schematics for more detailed
information.
DATA LINK COMMUNICATIONS DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
NOTE: This is an overview of different serial data buses used by GM control modules
to communicate with each others. Use schematics to find out which serial data
buses are configured for a specific vehicle.
Circuit Description
There are many components in a vehicle that rely on information from other sources, transmit information to
other sources, or both. Serial data communication networks provide a reliable, cost effective, way for various
components of the vehicle to "talk" to one another and share information.
GM uses a number of different communication buses to insure the timely and efficient exchange of information
between control modules. When compared to each other, some of these buses are different in nature as far as
speed, signal characteristics, and behavior. An example of this is the High Speed GMLAN and Low Speed
GMLAN buses.
On the other hand, when other buses are compared to each other they have similar characteristics and simply
operate in parallel. In this case they are used to group together components which have high interaction.
Examples are the High Speed GMLAN, Powertrain Expansion, and Chassis Expansion buses. This allows them
to communicate with each other on a bus with reduced message congestion insuring faster and the more timely
exchange of information than if all vehicle control modules were on a single bus.
The majority of information that exists within a given network generally stays local; however some information
will have to be shared on other networks. Control modules designated as Gateway's perform the function of
transferring information between the various buses. A Gateway module is connected to at least 2 buses and will
interact with each network according to its message strategy and transmission models.
GMLAN provides the capability for a receiving control module to monitor message transmissions from other
control modules in order to determine if messages of interest are not being received. The primary purpose is to
allow reasonable default values to be substituted for the information no longer being received. Additionally, a
control module may set a Diagnostic Trouble Code to indicate that the control module it is expecting
information from is no longer communicating.
High Speed GMLAN Circuit Description
A High Speed GMLAN Bus is used where data needs to be exchanged at a high enough rate to minimize the
delay between the occurrence of a change in sensor value and the reception of this information by a control
device using the information to adjust vehicle system performance.
The High Speed GMLAN serial data network consists of two twisted wires. One signal circuit is identified as
GMLAN-High and the other signal circuit is identified as GMLAN-Low. At each end of the data bus there is a
120 Q termination resistor between the GMLAN-High and GMLAN-Low circuits.
Data symbols (1's and 0's) are transmitted sequentially at a rate of 500 Kbit/s. The data to be transmitted over
the bus is represented by the voltage difference between the GMLAN-High signal voltage and the GMLAN-
Low signal voltage.
When the two wire bus is at rest the GMLAN-High and GMLAN-Low signal circuits are not being driven and
this represents a logic "1". In this state both signal circuits are at the same voltage of 2.5 V. The differential
voltage is approximately 0 V.
When a logic "0" is to be transmitted, the GMLAN-High signal circuit is driven higher to about 3.5 V and the
GMLAN-Low circuit is driven lower to about 1.5 V. The differential voltage becomes approximately 2.0 (+/-
0.5) V.
Chassis High Speed GMLAN Circuit Description
The GMLAN Chassis Expansion Bus is basically a copy of the High Speed GMLAN Bus except that its use is
reserved for chassis components. This implementation splits message congestion between two parallel buses
helping to insure timely message transmission and reception. Sometimes communication is required between
the Chassis Expansion Bus and the primary High Speed GMLAN Bus. This is accomplished by using the K17
Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) as the Gateway module. Since the High Speed GMLAN Chassis
Expansion Bus and primary High Speed GMLAN Bus operate in the same manner, the diagnostics for each are
similar.
Powertrain High Speed GMLAN Circuit Description
The GMLAN Powertrain Expansion Bus is basically a copy of the High Speed GMLAN Bus except that its use
is reserved for Hybrid powertrain components or Diesel powertrain components in some cases. The bus is
optional based upon feature content. Sometimes communication is required between the Powertrain Expansion
Bus and the primary High Speed GMLAN Bus. This is accomplished by using the K20 Engine Control Module
(ECM) as the Gateway module. Since the High Speed GMLAN Powertrain Expansion Bus and the primary
High Speed GMLAN Bus operate in the same manner, the diagnostics for each are similar.
All diagnostic information is available only through the primary high speed GMLAN bus.
High Voltage Energy Management High Speed GMLAN Circuit Description
The GMLAN High Voltage Energy Management Bus is basically a copy of the High Speed GMLAN Bus
except that its use is reserved for Hybrid charging components of an electric vehicle. Sometimes
communication is required between the Low Speed GMLAN Bus and the High Voltage Energy Management
Bus. This is accomplished by using the K114B Hybrid Powertrain Control Module 2 as the Gateway module.
Since the High Speed GMLAN High Voltage Energy Management Bus and primary High Speed GMLAN Bus
operate in the same manner, the diagnostics for each are similar.
All diagnostic information is available only through the primary high speed GMLAN bus.
Object High Speed GMLAN Circuit Description
The GMLAN Object Bus is basically a copy of the High Speed GMLAN Bus except that its use is reserved for
the enhanced safety system. This implementation is used to isolate the heavy communication among the
enhanced safety system devices from the other vehicle buses, reducing congestion. The K124 Active Safety
Control Module is connected to the Object Bus as well as the Primary High Speed GMLAN Bus, the Chassis
Expansion Bus, and the Low Speed GMLAN Bus. The K124 Active Safety Control Module acts as a Gateway
module for all required communication between the Object Bus devices and devices on these other vehicle
buses. The GMLAN Object Bus operates in the same manner as the Chassis Expansion and Primary High Speed
buses and so the diagnostics are similar. The Object Bus is physically partitioned into a Front Object Bus and a
Rear Object Bus with each partition having its own communication enable circuit to activate the partition, but
functional operation of both is identical. The Front Object Bus standard devices are the K124 Active Safety
Control Module, the K109 Frontview Camera Module, and the B233B Radar Sensor Module - Long Range. The
Front Object Bus optional devices are the B233LF Radar Sensor Module - Short Range Left Front and the
B233RF Radar Sensor Module - Short Range Right Front. The Rear Object Bus is optional and when present
will have the K124 Active Safety Control Module and B233R Radar Sensor Module - Short Range Rear on the
bus, and optionally the Radar Sensor Module - Short Range Right Rear. All Object Bus components are
powered by the K124 Active Safety Control Module via the communication enable circuits, except the K109
Frontview Camera Module which is powered directly by battery.
Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) Circuit Description
The MOST Infotainment network is a dedicated high speed multimedia streaming data bus independent from
GMLAN. The MOST bus will be configured in a physical hardwired loop with each device within the bus sends
and receives data on an assigned MOST addresses in a set order. Each device on the MOST bus will be required
to have twisted pair copper wires (2 transmit TX, 2 receive RX, and 1 electronic control line which is a 12 V
wakeup signal line). The A11 Radio is the MOST Master and will monitor the bus for vehicle configuration,
Infotainment data messages and errors on the bus. The MOST initialization consists of a short 100 ms low
voltage pulse on the electronic control line (or MOST control line) connected to all devices contained on the
MOST ring. When the MOST devices receive this wakeup message, they will respond with a generic device
response. Once these initial responses on the MOST bus are reported successfully without error to the A11
Radio, the next responses will report the MOST device addresses, their functionality requirements and
capabilities within. The A11 Radio will learn this information and also record the address node sequence on the
MOST bus at this point. This node address list will now be stored within the A11 Radio as the MOST bus
configuration (called "Last Working MOST ID of Node 1 - 9" on scan tool data display).
When MOST receive, transmit, or control line faults are detected, transmit/receive messages will not be
received as expected from the wakeup request. The A11 Radio and the K74 Human Machine Interface Control
Module will then perform diagnostics to isolate these MOST faults. If the MOST control line is shorted low to 0
V for excess amount of time, the A11 Radio will set a U2098 DTC and K74 Human Machine Interface Control
Module will set a U0029 02 DTC. At this point the MOST bus will be unable to communicate until the shorted
MOST control line is repaired.
Once the shorted MOST control line diagnostics pass, the A11 Radio will attempt to resend the initial short
pulse attempts up to 3 times on the MOST control line. If the expected responses are not received, the A11
Radio continues into a failure mode setting a U0028 DTC and will continue on to send 300 ms long pulses
while DTC U0028 is current, which will enable the furthest upstream transmitting device to become the
surrogate MOST Master in this MOST fault/diagnostic mode. When the A11 Radio receives this new MOST
Master identity, the surrogate MOST master device can be identified based on scan tool data parameter
"Surrogate MOST Master Node Upstream Position". The scan tool and schematics will be used to determine the
MOST bus configuration and direction by utilizing the "Last Working MOST ID of Node 1 - 9" parameters
from the A11 Radio data display. When a fault is present, it will indicate the newly enabled "Surrogate MOST
Master Node Upstream Position" to the A11 Radio. This will assist in determining the location of the MOST
device/bus/control fault. The MOST device and circuits upstream from the surrogate MOST master device,
transmit, receive, or control lines will be the suspect areas for diagnostics at this point. These faults can be
associated with any of the MOST transmit, receive, or control line twisted copper wires or possibly an internal
device fault.
DTC U0028 will take approximately 10 s for diagnostics to set in the A11 Radio with an active fault condition.
With the latest software, the A11 Radio will report the Surrogate MOST Master Node Upstream Position value
when DTC U0028 is stored in history. When there is no MOST bus fault, this value is None. The U0028 DTC
state and the Number of MOST Communication Breaks parameter must be used with the Surrogate MOST
Master Node Upstream Position parameter for a successful diagnosis. This is used to help capture surrogate
information on intermittent fault conditions. The Number of MOST Communication Breaks counter will
increment each time the MOST bus state transitions from Normal Operation (Lock status) to Off State (Unlock
status) and will accumulate from 0-65535. After the Number of MOST Communication Breaks counter
increments 10 times, DTC U0028 will be set. It is important to clear DTC U0028 and reset the Surrogate MOST
Master Node Upstream Position value to None after a successful repair. The Surrogate MOST Master Node
Upstream Position value can be reset to None by disconnecting the A11 Radio power, disconnecting battery
cables, or 50 ignition power down cycles. This will also reset the Number of MOST Communication Breaks
counter to 0.
The K74 Human Machine Interface Control Module will set a U0029 00 DTC when it diagnoses a MOST bus
not communicating properly after one attempt. When the DTC U0029 00 is set by the K74 Human Machine
Interface Control Module without the corresponding DTC U0028 from the A11 Radio, it will be an indication
of an intermittent wiring/device condition. The A11 Radio may also set a U0029 7F DTC if there is an
intermittent wiring/device condition.
Low Speed GMLAN Circuit Description
Low Speed GMLAN Bus is used in applications where a high data rate is not required which allows for the use
of less complex components. It is typically used for operator controlled functions where the response time
requirements are slower than those required for dynamic vehicle control.
The Low Speed GMLAN Serial Data Network consists of a single wire, ground referenced bus with high side
voltage drive. During on road vehicle operation data symbols (1's and 0's) are transmitted sequentially at the
normal rate of 33.3 Kbit/s. For component programming only, a special high speed data mode of 83.3 Kbit/s
may be used.
Unlike the high speed dual wire networks, the single wire low speed network does not use terminating resistors
at either end of the network.
The data symbols to be transmitted over the bus are represented by different voltage signals on the bus. When
the Low Speed GMLAN Bus is at rest and is not being driven, there is a low signal voltage of approximately
0.2 V. This represents a logic "1". When a logic "0" is to be transmitted, the signal voltage is driven higher to
around 4.0 V or higher.
Local Interconnect Network (LIN) Circuit Description
The Local Interconnect Network (LIN) Bus consists of a single wire with a transmission rate of 10.417 Kbit/s.
This bus is used to exchange information between a master control module and other smart devices which
provide supporting functionality. This type of configuration does not require the capacity or speed of either a
High Speed GMLAN Bus or Low Speed GMLAN Bus and is thus relatively simpler.
The data symbols (1's and 0's) to be transmitted are represented by different voltage levels on the
communication bus. When the LIN Bus is at rest and is not being driven, the signal is in a high voltage state of
approximately Vbatt. This represents a logic "1". When a logic "0" is to be transmitted, the signal voltage is
driven low to about ground (0.0 V).
Communication Enable Circuit Description
Control modules on GMLAN high speed type networks enable or disable communication based on the voltage
level of this circuit. When the circuit voltage is high (around 12 V), communications are enabled. When the
circuit is low, communications are disabled.
Data Link Connector (DLC)
The data link connector (DLC) is a standardized 16-cavity connector. Connector design and location is dictated
by an industry wide standard, and is required to provide the following:
• Terminal 1: Low speed GMLAN communications terminal
• Terminal 2: Class 2 communications terminal
• Terminal 3: Object high speed GMLAN serial bus (+) terminal
• Terminal 4: Scan tool power ground terminal
• Terminal 5: Common signal ground terminal
• Terminal 6: High speed GMLAN serial data bus (+) terminal
• Terminal 7: Keyword communications terminal
• Terminal 11: Object high speed GMLAN serial bus (-) terminal
• Terminal 12: Chassis high speed GMLAN serial bus (+) terminal
• Terminal 13: Chassis high speed GMLAN serial bus (-) terminal
• Terminal 14: High speed GMLAN serial data bus (-) terminal
• Terminal 16: Scan tool power, battery positive voltage terminal
Serial Data Reference
The scan tool communicates over the various buses on the vehicle. When a scan tool is installed on a vehicle,
the scan tool will try to communicate with every control module that could be optioned into the vehicle. If an
option is not installed on the vehicle, the scan tool will display No Comm (or Not Connected) for that optional
control module. In order to avert misdiagnoses of No Communication with a specific control module, refer to
Data Link References for a list of control modules and the buses they communicate with. Use schematics and
specific vehicle build RPO codes to determine optional control modules.

MOST Bus
For symptom byte information, refer to Symptom Byte List .
Diagnostic Fault Information | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Circuit/System Description |
The Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) bus consists of a physical ring in which multimedia devices
share audio, video and infotainment system control data. Each device on the MOST bus transmits and receives
data via the MOST Bus Serial Data (+/- transmit/receive) circuits. The MOST bus diagnostic master is the
Radio. The MOST control circuit is connected to each device on the MOST bus. Each device provides a 12 V
signal on the MOST control circuit. The Radio initiates communication on the MOST bus at Vehicle "On" by
toggling the MOST control circuit low for 100 ms. Once each device recognizes the wakeup signal from the
Radio on the MOST control circuit, they will respond to the Radio on the MOST bus to indicate no faults are
present and normal communications will commence.
Conditions for Running the DTC
• The system voltage is between 9 - 16 V.
• The vehicle is ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A fault occurs on transmit, receive, electronic control lines, or internal device failure.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• Some or all of the infotainment system audio and displays may be inoperative.
• While a current U0028 is set, the Radio will continually send 400 ms low pulses on the MOST control
circuit every 2.5 s. This is a Ring Break Diagnostic indication to the devices on the ring to report a
Surrogate Master Upstream Position Node.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The MOST initialization is successful without errors and the MOST bus resumes normal communications.
Diagnostic Aids
• The EL-51578 MOST Bus Diagnostic Tool Kit when utilized will cause false GMLAN DTC's to be set as
a result, along with loss of bypassed MOST device infotainment functionality. These DTC's and missing
functionality should be ignored unless the system is completely assembled and a DTC or symptom is
present during the repair verification steps.
• To troubleshoot the intermittent condition, manipulate or wiggle MOST wiring harness and observe the
Radio's DTC U0028 status and the Radio scan tool Number of MOST Communication Breaks parameter
value.
• If the issue still exists after performing all verification and test steps in this diagnostic procedure, bypass
each MOST device individually on the MOST bus (except the Radio) while monitoring DTC U0028
status. If DTC U0028 remains current after each MOST device has been bypassed, disconnect the Radio
MOST harness connector. The entire MOST ring can now be tested with all MOST devices (except the
Radio) bypassed to determine if any circuit faults exist.
• The Radio's DTC U0028 will be set current with all MOST devices bypassed.

Diagnostic Fault Information | ||||||||||||||||||||

Circuit/System Description |
The serial data is transmitted on two twisted wires that allow speeds up to 500 Kb/s. The twisted pair is
terminated with two 120 Q resistors, one is internal to the engine control module (ECM) and the other can be a
separate resistor in a connector assembly or in another device. The resistors are used as the load for the
powertrain high speed GMLAN bus during normal vehicle operation. The powertrain high speed GMLAN is a
differential bus. The powertrain high speed GMLAN serial data bus (+) and powertrain high speed GMLAN
serial data (-) are driven to opposite extremes from a rest or idle level of approximately 2.5 V. Driving the lines
to their extremes, adds 1 V to the powertrain high speed GMLAN serial data bus (+) circuit and subtracts 1 V
from the powertrain high speed GMLAN serial data bus (-) circuit. If serial data is lost, devices will set a no
communication code against the non-communicating device. Note that a loss of serial data DTC does not
represent a failure of the device that set it.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The system voltage is between 9 - 16 V.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The device setting the DTC has attempted to establish communications on the powertrain high speed GMLAN
serial data circuits more than 3 times.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• The device suspends all message transmission.
• The MIL and battery indicators will illuminate, along with several DIC messages.
• DTC U0074 is a type A DTC.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
• A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
• A history DTC clears when the device ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat
of the malfunction.
• DTC U0074 is a type A DTC.
Diagnostic Aids
• Sometimes, while diagnosing a specific customer concern or after a repair, you may notice a history U
code present. However, there is no associated "current" or "active" status. Loss of communication U
codes such as these can set for a variety of reasons. Many times, they are transparent to the vehicle
operator and technician, and/or have no associated symptoms. Eventually, they will erase themselves
automatically after a number of fault-free ignition cycles. This condition would most likely be attributed
to one of these scenarios:
• A device on the data communication circuit was disconnected while the communication circuit is
awake.
• Power to one or more devices was interrupted during diagnosis.
• A low battery condition was present, so some devices stop communicating when battery voltage
drops below a certain threshold.
• Battery power was restored to the vehicle and devices on the communication circuit did not all re-
initialize at the same time.
• If a loss of communication U code appears in history for no apparent reason, it is most likely
associated with one of the scenarios above. These are all temporary conditions and should never be
interpreted as an intermittent fault, causing you to replace a part.
• Do not replace a device reporting a U code. The U code identifies which device needs to be diagnosed for
a communication issue.
• Communication may be available between the device and the scan tool with one or more GMLAN serial
data systems inoperative. This condition is due to the device using multiple GMLAN busses.
• The engine will not start when there is a total malfunction of the powertrain high speed GMLAN serial
data bus.
• Use Data Link References to determine which devices connect to the powertrain high speed GMLAN
serial data bus.

Diagnostic Fault Information | |||||
|
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Circuit/System Description |
The devices connected to the object high speed GMLAN serial data circuits monitor for serial data
communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among
the devices when the ignition switch is in any position other than OFF. The object high speed GMLAN serial
data bus uses terminating resistors that are in parallel with the object high speed GMLAN (+) and (-) circuits.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The system voltage is between 9 - 16 V.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A supervised periodic message that includes the transmitter device availability has not been received.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
Specific subsystems will not function.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
• A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
• A history DTC clears when the device ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 50, without a
repeat of the malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
• Use the Data Link References to identify the object detection high speed GMLAN devices.
• Sometimes, while diagnosing a specific customer concern or after a repair, you may notice a history U
code present. However, there is no associated "current" or "active" status. Loss of communication U
codes such as these can set for a variety of reasons. Many times, they are transparent to the vehicle
operator and technician, and/or have no associated symptoms. Eventually, they will erase themselves
automatically after a number of fault-free ignition cycles. This condition would most likely be attributed
to one of these scenarios:
• A device on the data communication circuit was disconnected while the communication circuit is
awake.
• Power to one or more devices was interrupted during diagnosis.
• A low battery condition was present, so some devices stop communicating when battery voltage
drops below a certain threshold.
• Battery power was restored to the vehicle and devices on the communication circuit did not all re-
initialize at the same time.
• If a loss of communication U code appears in history for no apparent reason, it is most likely
associated with one of the scenarios above. These are all temporary conditions and should never be
interpreted as an intermittent fault, causing you to replace a part.
• Do not replace a device reporting a U code. The U code identifies which device needs to be diagnosed for
a communication issue.
• Communication may be available between some devices and the scan tool with the object high speed
GMLAN serial data system inoperative. This condition is due to those devices using multiple serial data
communication systems.
• An open in the DLC ground circuit terminal 5 will allow the scan tool to operate but not communicate
with the vehicle.
• Technicians may find various Local Area Network (LAN) communication Diagnostic Trouble Codes
(DTC).
• Some devices may not have internal protection for specific voltage outputs and may open a battery
positive voltage or ignition voltage source fuse. If a voltage input fuse is open and no short is found in
that circuit, ensure that no device output voltage circuit is shorted to ground before replacing the device.

| |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Circuit/System Description |
The GMLAN high speed chassis expansion bus functions the same as the GMLAN high speed bus, and the two
buses operate in parallel. The expansion chassis bus was added to reduce message congestion on the primary
high speed bus. Since the GMLAN high speed chassis bus and primary GMLAN high speed bus operate in the
same manner, the diagnostics for each are the same.
The chassis high speed GMLAN serial data circuits also connect directly to the Data Link Connector (DLC).
Conditions for Running the DTC
The system voltage is between 9 - 16 V.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The device setting the DTC has attempted to establish communications on the chassis high speed GMLAN
serial data circuits more than 3 times.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• The device suspends all message transmission.
• The device uses default values for all parameters received on the serial data circuits.
• The device inhibits the setting of all other communication DTCs.
• DTC U0077 is a type A DTC.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
• A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
• A history DTC clears when the device ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat
of the malfunction.
• DTC U0077 is a type A DTC.
Diagnostic Aids
• Sometimes, while diagnosing a specific customer concern or after a repair, you may notice a history U
code present. However, there is no associated "current" or "active" status. Loss of communication U
codes such as these can set for a variety of reasons. Many times, they are transparent to the vehicle
operator and technician, and/or have no associated symptoms. Eventually, they will erase themselves
automatically after a number of fault-free ignition cycles. This condition would most likely be attributed
to one of these scenarios:
• A device on the data communication circuit was disconnected while the communication circuit is
awake.
• Power to one or more devices was interrupted during diagnosis.
• A low battery condition was present, so some devices stop communicating when battery voltage
drops below a certain threshold.
• Battery power was restored to the vehicle and devices on the communication circuit did not all re-
initialize at the same time.
• If a loss of communication U code appears in history for no apparent reason, it is most likely
associated with one of the scenarios above. These are all temporary conditions and should never be
interpreted as an intermittent fault, causing you to replace a part.
• A device may have a U code stored in history that does not require any repairs. Issues with late or
corrupted messages between devices can be temporary with no apparent symptom or complaint; this does
not mean the device is faulty. Do not replace a device based only on a history U code.
• Do not replace a device reporting a U code. The U code identifies which device needs to be diagnosed for
a communication issue.
• Communication may be available between the device and the scan tool with one or more GMLAN serial
data systems inoperative. This condition is due to the device using multiple GMLAN busses.
• Use Data Link References to determine what GMLAN serial data communications the non
communicating device uses.
• The device may not have internal protection for specific control circuits and may open a B+ or ignition
fuse. If a fuse is open and the B+ or ignition circuit is not shorted to ground, ensure none of the control
circuits are shorted to ground before replacing the non communicating device.

Circuit/System Description |
Devices connected to the high voltage energy management high speed GMLAN serial data circuits monitor for
serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are
exchanged among the devices when the vehicle is on. The high voltage energy management high speed
GMLAN serial data bus uses a terminating resistor that is in parallel with the high voltage energy management
high speed GMLAN (+) and (-) circuits.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The system voltage is between 9 - 16 V.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The device setting the DTC has attempted to establish communications on the high voltage energy management
high speed GMLAN serial data circuits more than 3 times.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• The device suspends all message transmission.
• The device uses default values for all parameters received on the serial data circuits.
• The device inhibits the setting of all other communication DTCs.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
• A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
• A history DTC clears when the device ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat
of the malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
• Sometimes, while diagnosing a specific customer concern or after a repair, you may notice a history U
code present. However, there is no associated "current" or "active" status. Loss of communication U
codes such as these can set for a variety of reasons. Many times, they are transparent to the vehicle
operator and technician, and/or have no associated symptoms. Eventually, they will erase themselves
automatically after a number of fault-free ignition cycles. This condition would most likely be attributed
to one of these scenarios:
• A device on the data communication circuit was disconnected while the communication circuit is
awake.
• Power to one or more devices was interrupted during diagnosis.
• A low battery condition was present, so some devices stop communicating when battery voltage
drops below a certain threshold.
• Battery power was restored to the vehicle and devices on the communication circuit did not all re-
initialize at the same time.
• If a loss of communication U code appears in history for no apparent reason, it is most likely
associated with one of the scenarios above. These are all temporary conditions and should never be
interpreted as an intermittent fault, causing you to replace a part.
• Do not replace a device reporting a U code. The U code identifies which device needs to be diagnosed for
a communication issue.
• Communication may be available between the device and the scan tool with one or more GMLAN serial
data systems inoperative. This condition is due to the device using multiple GMLAN busses.
• The engine may not start when there is a total malfunction of the high voltage energy management high
speed GMLAN serial data bus.
• Use Data Link References to determine which devices connect to the high voltage energy management
high speed GMLAN serial data bus.

Diagnostic Fault Information | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Circuit/System Description |
The serial data circuit is the means by which the devices in the vehicle communicate with each other. Once the
scan tool is connected to the serial data circuit through the Data Link Connector (DLC) on the driver side, the
scan tool can be used to monitor each device for diagnostic purposes and to check for diagnostic trouble codes
(DTCs). The Auxiliary Data Connector on the passenger side is used for expansion buses. When the vehicle is
on, each device communicating on the serial data circuit sends a state of health message to ensure that the
device is operating properly. When a device stops communicating on the serial data circuit, for example if the
device loses power or ground, the state of health message it normally sends on the serial data circuit disappears.
Other devices on the serial data circuit, which expect to receive that state of health message, detect its absence;
those devices in turn set a DTC associated with the loss of state of health of the non-communicating device. The
DTC is unique to the device which is not communicating and one or more devices may set the same exact code.
A loss of serial data communications DTC does not represent a failure of the devices that contain the stored
DTC.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The system voltage is between 9 - 16 V.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A supervised periodic message that includes the transmitter device availability has not been received.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• Specific subsystems will not function.
• DTC U0100 in the Transmission Control Module will cause the transmission to go into default gears.
• Both DTC U0100 in the Transmission Control Module and DTC U0101 in the Engine Control Module
will cause the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) to illuminate.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
• The Engine Control Module or Transmission Control Module turns OFF the MIL after 4 consecutive
ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
• A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
• A history DTC clears when the device ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 50, without a
repeat of the malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
• Sometimes, while diagnosing a specific customer concern or after a repair, you may notice a history U
code present. However, there is no associated "current" or "active" status. Loss of communication U
codes such as these can set for a variety of reasons. Many times, they are transparent to the vehicle
operator and technician, and/or have no associated symptoms. Eventually, they will erase themselves
automatically after a number of fault-free ignition cycles. This condition would most likely be attributed
to one of these scenarios:
• A device on the data communication circuit was disconnected while the communication circuit is
awake.
• Power to one or more devices was interrupted during diagnosis.
• A low battery condition was present, so some devices stop communicating when battery voltage
drops below a certain threshold.
• Battery power was restored to the vehicle and devices on the communication circuit did not all re-
initialize at the same time.
• If a loss of communication U code appears in history for no apparent reason, it is most likely
associated with one of the scenarios above. These are all temporary conditions and should never be
interpreted as an intermittent fault, causing you to replace a part.
• A device may have a U code stored in history that does not require any repairs. Issues with late or
corrupted messages between devices can be temporary with no apparent symptom or complaint; this does
not mean the device is faulty. Do not replace a device based only on a history U code.
• Do not replace a device reporting a U code. The U code identifies which device needs to be diagnosed for
a communication issue.
• Communication may be available between some devices and the scan tool with either the low or high
speed GMLAN serial data system inoperative. This condition is due to those devices using multiple serial
data communication systems.
• Use Data Link References to determine what serial data communications the device uses.
• Some devices may not have internal protection for specific control circuits and may open a B+ or ignition
fuse. If a fuse is open and the B+ or ignition circuit is not shorted to ground, ensure none of the control
circuits are shorted to ground before replacing the device.
• Some intermittent communication concerns may be caused by fretting corrosion on the serial data circuit
terminals. Inspect all connectors at the device that set the communication DTC, the device that the
communication DTC was set against, and any inline harness connectors between the two devices. Do not
replace a device based only on fretting corrosion. Refer to bulletin 09-06-03-004 for assistance with the
diagnosis and repair of this condition, if applicable.
• This diagnostic can be used for any device that is not communicating, regardless of the type of serial data
circuit it is connected to, providing the vehicle is equipped with the device.

Diagnostic Fault Information | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Circuit/System Description |
The Local Interconnect Network (LIN) Bus consists of a single wire with a transmission rate of 10.417 Kbit/s.
The serial data is transmitted over a LIN circuit between a master control module and other LIN devices within
a particular subsystem. If serial data communication is lost between any of the LIN devices on the LIN bus
network, the master control module will set a no communication code against the non-communicating LIN
device.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The system voltage is between 9 - 16 V.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A supervised periodic message that includes the transmitter device availability has not been received.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
Specific subsystems will not function.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
• A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
• A history DTC clears when the device ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 50, without a
repeat of the malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
• Sometimes, while diagnosing a specific customer concern or after a repair, you may notice a history U
code present. However, there is no associated "current" or "active" status. Loss of communication U
codes such as these can set for a variety of reasons. Many times, they are transparent to the vehicle
operator and technician, and/or have no associated symptoms. Eventually, they will erase themselves
automatically after a number of fault-free ignition cycles. This condition would most likely be attributed
to one of these scenarios:
• A device on the data communication circuit was disconnected while the communication circuit is
awake.
• Power to one or more devices was interrupted during diagnosis.
• A low battery condition was present, so some devices stop communicating when battery voltage
drops below a certain threshold.
• Battery power was restored to the vehicle and devices on the communication circuit did not all re-
initialize at the same time.
• If a loss of communication U code appears in history for no apparent reason, it is most likely
associated with one of the scenarios above. These are all temporary conditions and should never be
interpreted as an intermittent fault, causing you to replace a part.
• A device may have a U code stored in history that does not require any repairs. Issues with late or
corrupted messages between devices can be temporary with no apparent symptom or complaint; this does
not mean the device is faulty. Do not replace a device based only on a history U code.
• Do not replace a device reporting a U code. The U code identifies which device needs to be diagnosed for
a communication issue.
• Some devices may not have internal protection for specific control circuits and may open a B+ or ignition
fuse. If a fuse is open and the B+ or ignition circuit is not shorted to ground, ensure none of the control
circuits are shorted to ground before replacing the device.
• An open in the LIN bus serial data circuit between the splice pack and a LIN device will only affect that
specific LIN device. This type of failure will set a loss of communication DTC for each LIN device
affected and the other LIN devices will still communicate.
• This diagnostic procedure can be used to diagnose the common LIN DTCs: U1340, U1341, U1342,
U1343, U1344, U1345, U1346, U1347, U1348, U1349, U134A, U134B, U134C, U134D, U134E, U134F,

Circuit/System Description |
The serial data circuit is the means by which the devices in the vehicle communicate with each other. Once the
scan tool is connected to the serial data circuit through the Data Link Connector (DLC), the scan tool can be
used to monitor each device for diagnostic purposes and to check for diagnostic trouble codes (DTC). When the
vehicle is on, each device communicating on the serial data circuit sends a state of health message to ensure that
the device is operating properly. When a device stops communicating on the serial data circuit, for example if
the device loses power or ground, the state of health message it normally sends on the serial data circuit
disappears. Other devices on the serial data circuit, which expect to receive that state of health message, detect
its absence; those devices in turn set a DTC associated with the loss of state of health of the non communicating
device. A loss of serial data communications DTC does not represent a failure of the devices that contain the
stored DTC.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The system voltage is between 9 - 16 V.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A supervised periodic message that includes the transmitter device availability has not been received.

• Communication may be available between the device and the scan tool with one or more GMLAN serial
data systems inoperative. This condition is due to the device using multiple GMLAN busses.
• Use Data Link References to determine what GMLAN serial data communications the non
communicating device uses.
• The device may not have internal protection for specific control circuits and may open a B+ or ignition

Diagnostic Fault Information | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Circuit/System Description |
Devices connected to the serial data circuits monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle
operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the devices. The devices have
prerecorded information about what messages are needed to be exchanged on the serial data circuits, for each
virtual network. The messages are supervised and also, some periodic messages are used by the receiver device
as an availability indication of the transmitter device. Each message contains the identification number of the
transmitter device.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The system voltage is between 9 - 16 V.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A supervised periodic message that includes the transmitter device availability has not been received.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• A driver information center message and/or a warning indicator may be displayed.
• The device is never signaled. Therefore, the specific subsystems will not function.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
• A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
• A history DTC clears when the device ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 50, without a
repeat of the malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
• Sometimes, while diagnosing a specific customer concern or after a repair, you may notice a history U
code present. However, there is no associated "current" or "active" status. Loss of communication U
codes such as these can set for a variety of reasons. Many times, they are transparent to the vehicle
operator and technician, and/or have no associated symptoms. Eventually, they will erase themselves
automatically after a number of fault-free ignition cycles. This condition would most likely be attributed
to one of these scenarios:
• A device on the data communication circuit was disconnected while the communication circuit is
awake.
• Power to one or more devices was interrupted during diagnosis.
• A low battery condition was present, so some devices stop communicating when battery voltage
drops below a certain threshold.
• Battery power was restored to the vehicle and devices on the communication circuit did not all re-
initialize at the same time.
• If a loss of communication U code appears in history for no apparent reason, it is most likely
associated with one of the scenarios above. These are all temporary conditions and should never be
interpreted as an intermittent fault, causing you to replace a part.
• A device may have a U code stored in history that does not require any repairs. Issues with late or
corrupted messages between devices can be temporary with no apparent symptom or complaint; this does
not mean the device is faulty. Do not replace a device based only on a history U code.
• Do not replace a device reporting a U code. The U code identifies which device needs to be diagnosed for
a communication issue.
• Communication may be available between the device and the scan tool with one or more GMLAN serial
data systems inoperative. This condition is due to the device using multiple GMLAN busses.
• Use Data Link References to determine what GMLAN serial data communications the non
communicating device uses.
• The device may not have internal protection for specific control circuits and may open a B+ or ignition
fuse. If a fuse is open and the B+ or ignition circuit is not shorted to ground, ensure none of the control
circuits are shorted to ground before replacing the non communicating device.

Circuit/System Description |
The serial data circuit is the means by which the devices in the vehicle communicate with each other. Once the
scan tool is connected to the serial data circuit through the Data Link Connector (DLC), the scan tool can be
used to monitor each device for diagnostic purposes and to check for diagnostic trouble codes (DTC). When the
vehicle is on, each device communicating on the serial data circuit sends a state of health message to ensure that
the device is operating properly. When a device stops communicating on the serial data circuit, for example if
the device loses power or ground, the state of health message it normally sends on the serial data circuit
disappears. Other devices on the serial data circuit, which expect to receive that state of health message, detect
its absence; those devices in turn set a DTC associated with the loss of state of health of the non communicating
device. A loss of serial data communications DTC does not represent a failure of the devices that contain the
stored DTC.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The system voltage is between 9 - 16 V.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A supervised periodic message that includes the transmitter device availability has not been received.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The device is never signaled. Therefore, the specific subsystems will not function.

Circuit/System Description |
Devices connected to the serial data circuits monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle
operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the devices. The devices have
prerecorded information about what messages are needed to be exchanged on the serial data circuits, for each
virtual network. The messages are supervised and also, some periodic messages are used by the receiver device
as an availability indication of the transmitter device. Each message contains the identification number of the
transmitter device.
Conditions for Running the DTC
• The system voltage is at least 10 V.
• The vehicle power mode master requires serial data communication to occur from this specific device.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A supervised periodic message that includes the transmitter device availability has not been received.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTC U1818 is a type A DTC.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTC U1818 is a type A DTC.
Diagnostic Aids
• Sometimes, while diagnosing a specific customer concern or after a repair, you may notice a history
U-code present. However, there is no associated "current" or "active" status. Loss-of- communication
U-codes such as these can set for a variety of reasons. Many times, they are transparent to the vehicle
operator and technician, and/or have no associated symptoms. Eventually, they will erase themselves
automatically after a number of fault-free ignition cycles. This condition would most likely be attributed
to one of these scenarios:
• A device on the data communication circuit was disconnected while the communication circuit is
awake.
• Power to one or more devices was interrupted during diagnosis.
• A low battery condition was present, so some devices stop communicating when battery voltage
drops below a certain threshold.
• Battery power was restored to the vehicle and devices on the communication circuit did not all re-
initialize at the same time.
• If a loss-of-communication U-code appears in history for no apparent reason, it is most likely
associated with one of the scenarios above. These are all temporary conditions and should never be
interpreted as an intermittent fault, causing you to replace a part.
• A device may have a U-code stored in history that does not require any repairs. Issues with late or
corrupted messages between devices can be temporary with no apparent symptom or complaint; this does
not mean the device is faulty. Do not replace a device based only on a history U-code.
• Do not replace a device reporting a U-code. The U-code identifies which device needs to be diagnosed for
a communication issue.
• Communication may be available between the device and the scan tool with one or more GMLAN serial
data systems inoperative. This condition is due to the device using multiple GMLAN busses.
• Use Data Link References to determine what GMLAN serial data communications the non
communicating device uses.
• The device may not have internal protection for specific control circuits and may open a B+ or ignition
fuse. If a fuse is open and the B+ or ignition circuit is not shorted to ground, ensure none of the control
circuits are shorted to ground before replacing the non communicating device.

Circuit/System Description |
The serial data circuit is the means by which the devices in the vehicle communicate with each other. Once the
scan tool is connected to the serial data circuit through the data link connector (DLC), the scan tool can be used
to monitor each device for diagnostic purposes and to check for diagnostic trouble codes (DTC). When the
vehicle is on, each device communicating on the serial data circuit sends a state of health message to ensure that
the device is operating properly. When a device stops communicating on the serial data circuit, for example if
the device loses power or ground, the state of health message it normally sends on the serial data circuit
disappears. Other devices on the serial data circuit, which expect to receive that state of health message, detect
its absence; those devices in turn set a DTC associated with the loss of state of health of the non communicating
device. A loss of serial data communications DTC does not represent a failure of the devices that contain the
stored DTC.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The system voltage is at least 11 V.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A supervised periodic message that includes the transmitter device availability has not been received for 10
seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The DTC U182D is a type B DTC.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The DTC U182D is a type B DTC.

operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the devices. The devices have
prerecorded information about what messages are needed to be exchanged on the serial data circuits, for each
virtual network. The messages are supervised and also, some periodic messages are used by the receiver device
as an availability indication of the transmitter device. Each message contains the identification number of the
transmitter device.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The system voltage is at least 10 V.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A supervised periodic message that includes the transmitter device availability has not been received.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• A driver information center message and/or a warning indicator may be displayed.
• The DTC U1833 is a type B DTC.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The DTC U1833 is a type B DTC.
Diagnostic Aids
• Sometimes, while diagnosing a specific customer concern or after a repair, you may notice a history U
code present. However, there is no associated "current" or "active" status. Loss of communication U
codes such as these can set for a variety of reasons. Many times, they are transparent to the vehicle
operator and technician, and/or have no associated symptoms. Eventually, they will erase themselves
automatically after a number of fault-free ignition cycles. This condition would most likely be attributed
to one of these scenarios:
• A device on the data communication circuit was disconnected while the communication circuit is
awake.
• Power to one or more devices was interrupted during diagnosis.
• A low battery condition was present, so some devices stop communicating when battery voltage
drops below a certain threshold.
• Battery power was restored to the vehicle and devices on the communication circuit did not all re-
initialize at the same time.
• If a loss of communication U code appears in history for no apparent reason, it is most likely
associated with one of the scenarios above. These are all temporary conditions and should never be
interpreted as an intermittent fault, causing you to replace a part.
• A device may have a U code stored in history that does not require any repairs. Issues with late or
corrupted messages between devices can be temporary with no apparent symptom or complaint; this does
not mean the device is faulty. Do not replace a device based only on a history U code.
• Do not replace a device reporting a U code. The U code identifies which device needs to be diagnosed for
a communication issue.
• Communication may be available between the device and the scan tool with one or more GMLAN serial
data systems inoperative. This condition is due to the device using multiple GMLAN busses.
• Use Data Link References to determine what GMLAN serial data communications the non
communicating device uses.
• The device may not have internal protection for specific control circuits and may open a B+ or ignition
fuse. If a fuse is open and the B+ or ignition circuit is not shorted to ground, ensure none of the control
circuits are shorted to ground before replacing the non communicating device.

Circuit/System Description |
The serial data circuit is the means by which the devices in the vehicle communicate with each other. Once the
scan tool is connected to the serial data circuit through the Data Link Connector (DLC), the scan tool can be
used to monitor each device for diagnostic purposes and to check for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). When
the vehicle is ON, each device communicating on the serial data circuit sends a state of health message to
ensure that the device is operating properly. When a device stops communicating on the serial data circuit, for
example if the device loses power or ground, the state of health message it normally sends on the serial data
circuit disappears. Other devices on the serial data circuit, which expect to receive that state of health message,
detect its absence; those devices in turn set a DTC associated with the loss of state of health of the non
communicating device. A loss of serial data communications DTC does not represent a failure of the devices
that contain the stored DTC.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The system voltage is between 9 - 16 V.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A supervised periodic message that includes the transmitter device availability has not been received.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The device is never signaled. Therefore, the specific subsystems will not function.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
• A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
• A history DTC clears when the device ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 50, without a
repeat of the malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
• Sometimes, while diagnosing a specific customer concern or after a repair, you may notice a history U
code present. However, there is no associated "current" or "active" status. Loss of communication U
codes such as these can set for a variety of reasons. Many times, they are transparent to the vehicle

Drive Motor Control Module 1 Lost Communication with Hybrid Powertrain Control Module
Drive Motor Control Module 2 Lost Communication with Hybrid Powertrain Control Module
For symptom byte information, refer to Symptom Byte List .
Circuit/System Description
The Motor Control Modules and the Hybrid Powertrain Control Module 1 are all internal to the Power Inverter
Module. The Motor Control Modules communicate only with the Hybrid Powertrain Control Module 1 with the
Hybrid Powertrain Control Module 1 sending out diagnostic trouble code information to other devices regarding
the Motor Control Modules. All circuits to the Hybrid Powertrain Control Module 1 and Motor Control
Modules are also internal to the Power Inverter Module and replaced as a single component.
Communication diagnostics for the serial data, including device power and ground as well as the wakeup
circuits for Motor Control Modules and the Hybrid Powertrain Control Module 1 are all diagnosed from
external sources only to the Power Inverter Module connector because any circuit fault condition within the
Power Inverter Module will cause a complete replacement.
Conditions for Running the DTC
• The system voltage is more than 10 V.
• The vehicle power mode master requires serial data communication to occur from this specific device.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A supervised periodic message that includes the transmitter device availability has not been received.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The device is never signaled. Therefore, the specific subsystems will not function.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
• A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
• A history DTC clears when the device ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 50, without a
repeat of the malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
• Sometimes, while diagnosing a specific customer concern or after a repair, you may notice a history
U-code present. However, there is no associated "current" or "active" status. Loss-of- communication
U-codes such as these can set for a variety of reasons. Many times, they are transparent to the vehicle

fuse. If a fuse is open and the B+ or ignition circuit is not shorted to ground, ensure none of the control
circuits are shorted to ground before replacing the non communicating device.
• If DTC U1845 or U1846 is only set current in the Hybrid Powertrain Control Module 1, the Power

corrupted messages between devices can be temporary with no apparent symptom or complaint; this does
not mean the device is faulty. Do not replace a device based only on a history U-code.
• Do not replace a device reporting a U-code. The U-code identifies which device needs to be diagnosed for
a communication issue.
• Communication may be available between the device and the scan tool with one or more GMLAN serial
data systems inoperative. This condition is due to the device using multiple GMLAN busses.
• Use Data Link References to determine what GMLAN serial data communications the non
communicating device uses.
• The device may not have internal protection for specific control circuits and may open a B+ or ignition
fuse. If a fuse is open and the B+ or ignition circuit is not shorted to ground, ensure none of the control
circuits are shorted to ground before replacing the non communicating device.

Diagnostic Fault Information | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Circuit/System Description |
The serial data circuit is the means by which the devices in the vehicle communicate with each other. Once the
scan tool is connected to the serial data circuit through the data link connector (DLC), the scan tool can be used
to monitor each device for diagnostic purposes and to check for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). When the
vehicle is ON, each device communicating on the serial data circuit sends a state of health message to ensure
that the device is operating properly. When a device stops communicating on the serial data circuit, for example
if the device loses power or ground, the state of health message it normally sends on the serial data circuit
disappears. Other devices on the serial data circuit, which expect to receive that state of health message, detect
its absence; those devices in turn set a DTC associated with the loss of state of health of the non communicating
device. A loss of serial data communications DTC does not represent a failure of the devices that contain the
stored DTC.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The system voltage is between 9 - 16 V.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A supervised periodic message that includes the transmitter device availability has not been received.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The device is never signaled. Therefore, the specific subsystems will not function.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
• A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
• A history DTC clears when the device ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 50, without a
repeat of the malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
• Sometimes, while diagnosing a specific customer concern or after a repair, you may notice a history
U-code present. However, there is no associated "current" or "active" status. Loss-of- communication
U-codes such as these can set for a variety of reasons. Many times, they are transparent to the vehicle
operator and technician, and/or have no associated symptoms. Eventually, they will erase themselves
automatically after a number of fault-free ignition cycles. This condition would most likely be attributed
to one of these scenarios:
• A device on the data communication circuit was disconnected while the communication circuit is
awake.
• Power to one or more devices was interrupted during diagnosis.
• A low battery condition was present, so some devices stop communicating when battery voltage
drops below a certain threshold.
• Battery power was restored to the vehicle and devices on the communication circuit did not all re-
initialize at the same time.
• If a loss-of-communication U-code appears in history for no apparent reason, it is most likely
associated with one of the scenarios above. These are all temporary conditions and should never be
interpreted as an intermittent fault, causing you to replace a part.
• A device may have a U-code stored in history that does not require any repairs. Issues with late or
corrupted messages between devices can be temporary with no apparent symptom or complaint; this does
not mean the device is faulty. Do not replace a device based only on a history U-code.

Battery Energy Control Module Lost Communication with Hybrid/EV Powertrain Control Module 2 on
High Voltage Energy Management CAN Bus
For symptom byte information, refer to Symptom Byte List .
Diagnostic Fault Information | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Circuit/System Description |
Devices connected to the serial data circuits monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle
operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the devices. The devices have
prerecorded information about what messages are needed to be exchanged on the serial data circuits, for each
virtual network. The messages are supervised and also, some periodic messages are used by the receiver device
as an availability indication of the transmitter device. Each message contains the identification number of the
transmitter device.
This diagnostic is used to check the loss of communication with the Hybrid/EV Powertrain Control Module 2
on high voltage energy management high speed GMLAN bus. The Battery Energy Control Module supervises a
periodic serial data message to check the communication status of the Hybrid/EV Powertrain Control Module 2.
If this message is not received within 1 s, this DTC is set.
Conditions for Running the DTC
• The device is awake and communicating.
• The system voltage is at least 9 V.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A supervised periodic message that includes the transmitter device availability has not been received within 1 s.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• No Cell Balancing function. However, cell balancing switch diagnostics still run.
• DTC U185B is a type B DTC.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTC U185B is a type B DTC.
Diagnostic Aids
• Sometimes, while diagnosing a specific customer concern or after a repair, you may notice a history U
code present. However, there is no associated "current" or "active" status. Loss of communication U
codes such as these can set for a variety of reasons. Many times, they are transparent to the vehicle
operator and technician, and/or have no associated symptoms. Eventually, they will erase themselves
automatically after a number of fault-free ignition cycles. This condition would most likely be attributed
to one of these scenarios:
• A device on the data communication circuit was disconnected while the communication circuit is
awake.
• Power to one or more devices was interrupted during diagnosis.
• A low battery condition was present, so some devices stop communicating when battery voltage
drops below a certain threshold.
• Battery power was restored to the vehicle and devices on the communication circuit did not all re-
initialize at the same time.
• If a loss of communication U code appears in history for no apparent reason, it is most likely
associated with one of the scenarios above. These are all temporary conditions and should never be
interpreted as an intermittent fault, causing you to replace a part.
• A device may have a U code stored in history that does not require any repairs. Issues with late or
corrupted messages between devices can be temporary with no apparent symptom or complaint; this does
not mean the device is faulty. Do not replace a device based only on a history U code.
• Do not replace a device reporting a U code. The U code identifies which device needs to be diagnosed for
a communication issue.
• Communication may be available between the device and the scan tool with one or more GMLAN serial
data systems inoperative. This condition is due to the device using multiple GMLAN busses.
• Use Data Link References to determine what GMLAN serial data communications the non
communicating device uses.
• The device may not have internal protection for specific control circuits and may open a B+ or ignition
fuse. If a fuse is open and the B+ or ignition circuit is not shorted to ground, ensure none of the control
circuits are shorted to ground before replacing the non communicating device.

| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Circuit/System Description |
Devices connected to the serial data circuits monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle
operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the devices. The devices have
prerecorded information about what messages are needed to be exchanged on the serial data circuits, for each
virtual network. The messages are supervised and also, some periodic messages are used by the receiver device
as an availability indication of the transmitter device. Each message contains the identification number of the
transmitter device.
Conditions for Running the DTC
• The system voltage is greater than 9.5 V.
• The vehicle power mode master requires serial data communication to occur from this specific device.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A supervised periodic message that includes the transmitter device availability has not been received.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The DTC U1879 is a type B DTC.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The DTC U1879 is a type B DTC.
Diagnostic Aids
• Sometimes, while diagnosing a specific customer concern or after a repair, you may notice a history
U-code present. However, there is no associated "current" or "active" status. Loss-of- communication
U-codes such as these can set for a variety of reasons. Many times, they are transparent to the vehicle
operator and technician, and/or have no associated symptoms. Eventually, they will erase themselves
automatically after a number of fault-free ignition cycles. This condition would most likely be attributed
to one of these scenarios:
• A device on the data communication circuit was disconnected while the communication circuit is
awake.
• Power to one or more devices was interrupted during diagnosis.
• A low battery condition was present, so some devices stop communicating when battery voltage
drops below a certain threshold.
• Battery power was restored to the vehicle and devices on the communication circuit did not all re-
initialize at the same time.
• If a loss-of-communication U-code appears in history for no apparent reason, it is most likely
associated with one of the scenarios above. These are all temporary conditions and should never be
interpreted as an intermittent fault, causing you to replace a part.
• A device may have a U-code stored in history that does not require any repairs. Issues with late or
corrupted messages between devices can be temporary with no apparent symptom or complaint; this does
not mean the device is faulty. Do not replace a device based only on a history U-code.
• Do not replace a device reporting a U-code. The U-code identifies which device needs to be diagnosed for
a communication issue.
• Communication may be available between the device and the scan tool with one or more GMLAN serial
data systems inoperative. This condition is due to the device using multiple GMLAN busses.
• Use Data Link References to determine what GMLAN serial data communications the non
communicating device uses.
• The device may not have internal protection for specific control circuits and may open a B+ or ignition
fuse. If a fuse is open and the B+ or ignition circuit is not shorted to ground, ensure none of the control
circuits are shorted to ground before replacing the non communicating device.

Lost Communication With Hybrid Powertrain Control Module on Chassis Expansion CAN Bus
For symptom byte information, refer to Symptom Byte List .
Diagnostic Fault Information | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Circuit/System Description |
Devices connected to the Chassis high speed GMLAN serial data circuits monitor for serial data
communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among
the devices. The devices have prerecorded information about what messages are needed to be exchanged on the
serial data circuits, for each virtual network. The messages are supervised and also, some periodic messages are
used by the receiver device as an availability indication of the transmitter device. Each message contains the
identification number of the transmitter device.
The Motor Control Modules and the Hybrid Powertrain Control Module 1 are all internal to the Power Inverter
Module. Communication diagnostics for the serial data, including device power and ground as well as the
wakeup circuits for Motor Control Modules and the Hybrid Powertrain Control Module 1 are all diagnosed
from external sources only to the Power Inverter Module connector because any circuit fault condition within
the Power Inverter Module will cause a complete replacement.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The system voltage is between 9 - 16 V.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A supervised periodic message that includes the transmitter device availability has not been received.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The device is never signaled. Therefore, the specific subsystems will not function.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
• A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
• A history DTC clears when the device ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 50, without a
repeat of the malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
• Sometimes, while diagnosing a specific customer concern or after a repair, you may notice a history U
code present. However, there is no associated "current" or "active" status. Loss of communication U
codes such as these can set for a variety of reasons. Many times, they are transparent to the vehicle
operator and technician, and/or have no associated symptoms. Eventually, they will erase themselves
automatically after a number of fault-free ignition cycles. This condition would most likely be attributed
to one of these scenarios:
• A device on the data communication circuit was disconnected while the communication circuit is
awake.
• Power to one or more devices was interrupted during diagnosis.
• A low battery condition was present, so some devices stop communicating when battery voltage
drops below a certain threshold.
• Battery power was restored to the vehicle and devices on the communication circuit did not all re-
initialize at the same time.
• If a loss of communication U code appears in history for no apparent reason, it is most likely
associated with one of the scenarios above. These are all temporary conditions and should never be
interpreted as an intermittent fault, causing you to replace a part.
• A device may have a U code stored in history that does not require any repairs. Issues with late or
corrupted messages between devices can be temporary with no apparent symptom or complaint; this does
not mean the device is faulty. Do not replace a device based only on a history U code.
• Do not replace a device reporting a U code. The U code identifies which device needs to be diagnosed for
a communication issue.
• Communication may be available between the device and the scan tool with one or more GMLAN serial
data systems inoperative. This condition is due to the device using multiple GMLAN busses.
• Use Data Link References to determine what GMLAN serial data communications the non
communicating device uses.
• The device may not have internal protection for specific control circuits and may open a B+ or ignition
fuse. If a fuse is open and the B+ or ignition circuit is not shorted to ground, ensure none of the control
circuits are shorted to ground before replacing the non communicating device.

Circuit/System Description |
When the vehicle is ON, the A11 Radio initializes the Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) bus by
sending a short 100 ms low voltage pulse on the electronic control line (or MOST control line) connected to all
MOST devices contained on the MOST ring. When MOST receive, transmit, or control line faults are detected,
transmit/receive messages will not received as expected from the wakeup request. The A11 Radio and the K74
Human Machine Interface Control Module will then perform diagnostics to isolate these MOST faults. If the
MOST control line is shorted low to 0 V for excess amount of time, the A11 Radio will set a U2098 DTC and
K74 Human Machine Interface Control Module will set a U0029 02 DTC. At this point the MOST bus will be
unable to communicate until the shorted MOST control line is repaired.
Conditions for Running the DTC
• The system voltage is between 9 - 16 V.
• The vehicle is ON.
• The Radio is ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
• The Radio senses a short to ground on the MOST control circuit.

check the communication status of the Hybrid/EV Powertrain Control Module 2. If this message is not received
within 400 ms, the Battery Energy Control Module increases its fail count. When this fail count is over X Cal
Value (7) during Y Cal Value (10 samples), the diagnostic status of this code is set to Failed and transmitted
over high voltage energy high speed GMLAN bus to the Hybrid/EV Powertrain Control Module 2.
Conditions for Running the DTC
• Vehicle ON.
• The system voltage is at least 9 V.
• The DTC U180B is not set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A supervised periodic message that includes the transmitter device availability has not been received within 400
ms.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The DTC U2602 is a type B DTC.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The DTC U2602 is a type B DTC.
Diagnostic Aids
• Sometimes, while diagnosing a specific customer concern or after a repair, you may notice a history U
code present. However, there is no associated "current" or "active" status. Loss of communication U
codes such as these can set for a variety of reasons. Many times, they are transparent to the vehicle
operator and technician, and/or have no associated symptoms. Eventually, they will erase themselves
automatically after a number of fault-free ignition cycles. This condition would most likely be attributed
to one of these scenarios:
• A device on the data communication circuit was disconnected while the communication circuit is
awake.
• Power to one or more devices was interrupted during diagnosis.
• A low battery condition was present, so some devices stop communicating when battery voltage
drops below a certain threshold.
• Battery power was restored to the vehicle and devices on the communication circuit did not all re-
initialize at the same time.
• If a loss of communication U code appears in history for no apparent reason, it is most likely
associated with one of the scenarios above. These are all temporary conditions and should never be
interpreted as an intermittent fault, causing you to replace a part.
• A device may have a U code stored in history that does not require any repairs. Issues with late or
corrupted messages between devices can be temporary with no apparent symptom or complaint; this does
not mean the device is faulty. Do not replace a device based only on a history U code.
• Do not replace a device reporting a U code. The U code identifies which device needs to be diagnosed for
a communication issue.
• Communication may be available between the device and the scan tool with one or more GMLAN serial
data systems inoperative. This condition is due to the device using multiple GMLAN busses.
• Use Data Link References to determine what GMLAN serial data communications the non
communicating device uses.
• The device may not have internal protection for specific control circuits and may open a B+ or ignition
fuse. If a fuse is open and the B+ or ignition circuit is not shorted to ground, ensure none of the control
circuits are shorted to ground before replacing the non communicating device.

Circuit/System Description |
The serial data is transmitted on two twisted wires that allow speeds up to 500 Kb/s. The twisted pair is
terminated with two 120 Q resistors, one is internal to the engine control module (ECM) and the other can be a
separate resistor in a connector assembly or in another device. The resistors are used as the load for the High
Speed GMLAN bus during normal vehicle operation. The high speed GMLAN is a differential bus. The high
speed GMLAN serial data bus (+) and high speed GMLAN serial data (-) are driven to opposite extremes from
a rest or idle level of approximately 2.5 V. Driving the lines to their extremes, adds 1 V to the high speed
GMLAN serial data bus (+) circuit and subtracts 1 V from the high speed GMLAN serial data bus (-) circuit. If
serial data is lost, devices will set a no communication code against the non-communicating device. Note that a
loss of serial data DTC does not represent a failure of the device that set it.
Diagnostic Aids
• Sometimes, while diagnosing a specific customer concern or after a repair, you may notice a history
U-code present. However, there is no associated "current" or "active" status. Loss-of-communication
U-codes such as these can set for a variety of reasons. Many times, they are transparent to the vehicle
operator and technician, and/or have no associated symptoms. Eventually, they will erase themselves
automatically after a number of fault-free ignition cycles. This condition would most likely be attributed
to one of these scenarios:
• A device on the data communication circuit was disconnected while the communication circuit is
awake.
• Power to one or more devices was interrupted during diagnosis.
• A low battery condition was present, so some devices stop communicating when battery voltage
drops below a certain threshold.
• Battery power was restored to the vehicle and devices on the communication circuit did not all re-
initialize at the same time.
• If a loss-of-communication U-code appears in history for no apparent reason, it is most likely
associated with one of the scenarios above. These are all temporary conditions and should never be
interpreted as an intermittent fault, causing you to replace a part.
• Do not replace a device reporting a U code. The U code identifies which device needs to be diagnosed for
a communication issue.
• Communication may be available between some devices and the scan tool with the high speed GMLAN
serial data system inoperative. This condition is due to those devices using multiple serial data
communication systems.
• An open in the DLC ground circuit terminal 5 will allow the scan tool to operate but not communicate
with the vehicle.
• The engine will not start when there is a total malfunction of the high speed GMLAN serial data bus.
• Technicians may find various Local Area Network (LAN) communication Diagnostic Trouble Codes
(DTC) and no low speed GMLAN communications with the scan tool.
• These conditions may be caused by the installation of an aftermarket navigation radio module (see
bulletins). Some customers may comment of one or more of the following concerns:
• Vehicle will not crank
• Vehicle cranks but will not start
• Vehicle stability enhancement system warning lights and messages
• PRNDL gear indicator position errors

Diagnostic Instructions
• Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
• Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.
Diagnostic Fault Information | ||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||
Circuit/System Description |
The serial data is transmitted over a single wire to the appropriate devices. The transmission speed for GMLAN
low speed is up to 83.33 Kbit/s. Under normal vehicle operating conditions, the speed of the bus is 33.33 Kbit/s.
The devices toggle the serial data circuit between 0 - 5 V during normal communications. To wake the devices
connected to the low speed GMLAN serial data circuit, a voltage wake up pulse of 10 V is sent out. If serial
data is lost, devices will set a no communication code against the non-communicating device. A loss of serial
data communications DTC does not represent a failure of the device that set it.
Diagnostic Aids
• Sometimes, while diagnosing a specific customer concern or after a repair, you may notice a history U
code present. However, there is no associated "current" or "active" status. Loss of communication U
codes such as these can set for a variety of reasons. Many times, they are transparent to the vehicle
operator and technician, and/or have no associated symptoms. Eventually, they will erase themselves
automatically after a number of fault-free ignition cycles. This condition would most likely be attributed
to one of these scenarios:
• A device on the data communication circuit was disconnected while the communication circuit is
awake.
• Power to one or more devices was interrupted during diagnosis
• A low battery condition was present, so some devices stop communicating when battery voltage
drops below a certain threshold.
• Battery power was restored to the vehicle and devices on the communication circuit did not all re-
initialize at the same time.
• If a loss of communication U code appears in history for no apparent reason, it is most likely
associated with one of the scenarios above. These are all temporary conditions and should never be
interpreted as an intermittent fault, causing you to replace a part.
• Do not replace a device reporting a U code. The U code identifies which device needs to be diagnosed for
a communication issue.
• Communication may be available between the device and the scan tool with the low speed GMLAN serial
data system inoperative. This condition is due to the device using both the high and low speed GMLAN
systems.
• An open in the low speed GMLAN serial data circuit between the splice pack and a device will only
affect that specific device. This type of failure will set a loss of communication DTC for each device
affected, and the other devices will still communicate.
• An open in the Data Link Connector ground circuit terminal 5 will allow the scan tool to operate but not
communicate with the vehicle.
• The engine may not start when there is a total malfunction of the low speed GMLAN serial data circuit.
• Technicians may find various Local Area Network (LAN) communication Diagnostic Trouble Codes
(DTC) and no low speed LAN communications with the scan tool.
• These conditions may be caused by the installation of an aftermarket navigation radio device (see
bulletins). Some customers may comment of one or more of the following concerns:
• Vehicle will not crank
• Vehicle cranks but will not start
• Vehicle stability enhancement system warning lights and messages
• PRNDL gear indicator position errors

Circuit/System Description |
The vehicle ON/OFF switch has a single LED that indicate the vehicle power mode. When the vehicle is in the
off mode, the LED is not illuminated. Pressing and holding the vehicle ON/OFF switch up to 10 s, without the
brake pedal applied, will enter the Vehicle Service Mode and the blue LED will illuminate. With the vehicle
OFF and the brake pedal applied, pressing the vehicle ON/OFF switch once, the vehicle will enter the Vehicle
ON mode and the blue LED will illuminate.
The vehicle ON/OFF switch contains two individual switches that provides redundant switch inputs to both the
body control module (BCM) and the keyless entry control module. The BCM supplies the vehicle ON/OFF
switch a constant B+ signal. The BCM monitors this signal to determine if the switch is released or pressed.
When the vehicle ON/OFF switch is not pressed, voltage on the signal circuit is pulled down through two
resistors in the switch. When the vehicle ON/OFF switch is pressed, voltage on the signal circuit is pulled down
through only one resistor, changing the voltage seen at the BCM and indicating that the vehicle ON/OFF switch
is pressed.
The keyless entry control module monitors voltage on the switch in the same manner as the BCM, but monitors
the s switch located in the vehicle ON/OFF switch. The keyless entry control module also controls the backup
power for the ignition run relay through the control circuit by applying voltage to the ignition voltage circuit.
This circuit is a pass-thru in the BCM and will energize the ignition circuit when the vehicle is in Service Mode,
the vehicle is ON, or when a remote start is requested.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Control module voltage is 9 - 16 V.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
• The voltage seen at the BCM monitored switch does not match the voltage seen at the keyless entry
control module monitored switch.
• The above condition exists for more than 1 s
• The control module detects a short to ground in the vehicle ON/OFF switch signal circuit
• The above condition exists for more than 1 s
• The control module detects an open in the vehicle ON/OFF switch signal circuit
• The above condition exists for more than 1 s
• The control module detects an open in the vehicle ON/OFF switch signal circuit
• The above condition exists for more than 1 s
• The control module detects a change in the ignition mode without observing a switch press
• The above condition occurs 4 consecutive times
• The control module detects a continuously closed vehicle ON/OFF switch
• The above condition exists for more than 1 min
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
No action is taken.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
• A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
• A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive module ignition cycles without a repeat of the malfunction.

Circuit/System Description |
The vehicle ON/OFF switch has a single LED that indicates the vehicle power mode. When the vehicle is in the
OFF mode, the LED is not illuminated. Pressing and holding the vehicle ON/OFF switch for at least 5 s,
without the brake pedal applied, will enter the Vehicle Service Mode and the blue LED will illuminate. With the
vehicle OFF and the brake pedal applied, pressing the vehicle ON/OFF switch once, the vehicle will enter the
Vehicle ON mode and the blue LED will illuminate.
The vehicle ON/OFF switch contains two individual switches that provides redundant switch inputs to both the
body control module (BCM) and the keyless entry control module. The BCM supplies the vehicle ON/OFF
switch a constant B+ signal. The BCM monitors this signal to determine if the switch is released or pressed.
When the vehicle ON/OFF switch is not pressed, voltage on the signal circuit is pulled down through two
resistors in the switch. When the vehicle ON/OFF switch is pressed, voltage on the signal circuit is pulled down
through only one resistor, changing the voltage seen at the BCM and indicating that the vehicle ON/OFF switch
is pressed.
The keyless entry control module monitors voltage on the switch is the same manner as the BCM, but monitors
the second switch located in the vehicle ON/OFF switch.

Circuit/System Description |
The vehicle ON/OFF switch has a single LED that indicate the vehicle power mode. When the vehicle is in the
off mode, the LED is not illuminated. Pressing and holding the vehicle ON/OFF switch for up to 10 s, without
the brake pedal applied, will enter the Vehicle Service Mode and the blue LED will illuminate. With the vehicle
OFF and the brake pedal applied, pressing the vehicle ON/OFF switch once, the vehicle will enter the Vehicle
ON mode and the blue LED will illuminate.
The vehicle ON/OFF switch contains 2 individual switches that provides redundant switch inputs to both the
body control module (BCM) and the keyless entry control module. The BCM supplies the vehicle ON/OFF
switch a constant B+ signal. The BCM monitors this signal to determine if the switch is released or pressed.
When the vehicle ON/OFF switch is not pressed, voltage on the signal circuit is pulled down through 2 resistors
in the switch. When the vehicle ON/OFF switch is pressed, voltage on the signal circuit is pulled down through
only one resistor, changing the voltage seen at the BCM and indicating that the vehicle ON/OFF switch is
pressed.
The keyless entry control module monitors voltage on the switch is the same manner as the BCM, but monitors
the second switch located in the vehicle ON/OFF switch. The keyless entry control module also controls the
backup power for the ignition run relay through the control circuit by applying voltage to the ignition voltage
circuit. This circuit is a pass-thru in the BCM and will energize the ignition circuit when the vehicle is in
Service Mode, the vehicle is ON, or when a remote start is requested.

GENERAL ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSIS
Basic Knowledge Required
Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures contained in the
service manual. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (V),
current (A), and resistance (Q). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as
understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire.
CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES
WARNING: Refer to SIR Warning .
Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams
with the SIR 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.

USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS
Special Tools
EL-35616 Terminal Test Probe Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools .
WARNING: This procedure should not be performed on high voltage circuits. Performing
this procedure on high voltage circuits may result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION: Do not insert test equipment probes (DMM etc.) into any connector or fuse
block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A
deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system
failure. Always use the J-35616-F GM Approved Terminal Release Tool Kit in
order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to
probe terminals.
When using the J-35616-F GM Approved Terminal Release Tool Kit, ensure the
terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do
not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal
cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger
terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616-F GM
Approved Terminal Release Tool Kit label on the inside of the J-35616-F GM
Approved Terminal Release Tool Kit for the correct adapter along with the
connector end view for terminal size.
PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS
Special Tools
EL-35616 Terminal Test Probe Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools .
WARNING: This procedure should not be performed on high voltage circuits. Performing
this procedure on high voltage circuits may result in serious injury or death.
NOTE: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal
position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals.
Front probe
Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector.
CAUTION: Refer to Test Probe Caution .
NOTE: When probing female 0.64 terminals, it is important to use the correct adapter.
There have been some revisions to the test adapter for 0.64 terminals. The
proper adapter for 0.64 terminals is the J-35616-64B which has a gold terminal
and a black wire between the base and tip. Failure to use the proper test
adapter may result in damage to the terminal being tested and improper
diagnosis.
NOTE: The proper adapter for probing the terminals for fuses, relays, or diodes in an
electrical center is J-35616-35. Using any other tool or adapter may damage the
terminal being tested.
Refer to the following table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for front probing connectors: | ||||||
|
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Backprobe |
NOTE: |
|
• Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care
in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe
too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe.
• After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal
damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact.
Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector.
TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER
Special Tools
EL-39200 Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools .
WARNING: High voltage circuits should only be tested using a digital multimeter (DMM)
and test leads with at least a CAT III rating, such as the J 39200-A Digital
Multimeter. Failure to follow the procedures may result in serious injury or
death.
CAUTION: Refer to Test Probe Caution .
Digital Multimeter (DMM) Basic Requirements
Service information is validated using digital multimeters that meet or exceed the following requirements.
Using a multimeter that does not meet these basic requirements may give inaccurate readings which could lead
to an incorrect diagnosis.
1. Four digits displayed
2. Voltage, current, resistance, frequency, diode test settings, and min-max function
3. Display positive and negative values
1. Have at least 10 M fi input impedance
2. Test a DC voltage range of 0.1 - 1000 V.
3. Test an AC voltage range of 0.1 - 1000 V.
1. Test a DC current range of 0.1 pA - 10 A.
2. Test an AC current range of 0.1 pA - 10 A.
Test a resistance range of 0.1 fi - 40 Mfi and displays infinite for a value greater than 40 M fi (O.L. (Over-
load))
Test for a frequency range of 0.5 HZ - 199 K HZ
1. Apply at least 2 mA when performing the diode bias test
2. Display the break over voltage drop (0 - 3 V) of a forward biased diode
3. Display infinite (O.L. (Over-load)) when a diode is reverse biased
1. Can update at a 25 ms sample rate
2. Saves and displays minimum and maximum values
NOTE: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the engine
control module (ECM), should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher
impedance digital multimeter such as the EL-39200.
The DMM instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the
DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a
test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM indicates how much
voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp will not illuminate even though
voltage is present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low
resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
NOTE: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance
with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage
to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance
reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a
component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If
the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
• Probe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or
tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving.
Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors.
• Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to
other harnesses.
• If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to
simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.
TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP
EL-35616-200 Test Light - Probe Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools .
WARNING: This procedure should not be performed on high voltage circuits. Performing
this procedure on high voltage circuits may result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION: Refer to Test Probe Caution .
A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. A digital multimeter (DMM)
should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp
shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM indicates how much voltage is
present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp will not illuminate even though voltage is
present.
The EL-35616-200 kit is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12 V light bulb with an attached pair of
leads.
To properly operate this tool use the following procedures.
When testing for voltage:
1. Attach one lead to ground.
2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present.
3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested.
When testing for ground:
1. Attach one lead to battery positive voltage.
2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present.
3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested.
USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES
EL 35616-20F Fused Jumper Wire
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools .
NOTE: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged.

Fig. 1: Fused Jumper Wire Courtesy of GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY |
The EL 35616-20F Fused Jumper Wire includes banana jack connectors that provide adaptation to most
connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20 A fuse which may not be suitable for
some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested.
MEASURING VOLTAGE
Special Tools
EL-39200 Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools .
WARNING: Before working on any high voltage system, be sure to wear the following
Personal Protection Equipment:
• Safety glasses with appropriate side shields when within 50 feet of the
vehicle, either indoors or outdoors
• Certified and up-to-date Class "0" Insulation gloves rated at 1000V with
leather protectors
• Visually and functionally inspect the gloves before use.
• Wear the Insulation gloves at all times when working with the high
voltage battery assembly, whether the system is energized or not.
Failure to follow the procedure exactly as written may result in serious injury or
death.
CAUTION: Refer to Test Probe Caution .
The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit.
1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary.
2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods:
• Vehicle power mode to Vehicle in Service Mode or Vehicle On.
• Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls.
• Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested.
3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the digital multimeter (DMM).
4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested.
5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground.
6. The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP
EL - 39200 Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools .
CAUTION: Refer to Test Probe Caution .
The following procedure determines the difference in voltage potential between 2 points.
![]() |
Fig. 2: Measuring Voltage Drop Courtesy of GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY |
1. Set the Digital Multimeter (DMM) to the V (DC) position.
2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to one point of the circuit to be tested.
3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the circuit.
4. Operate the circuit.
5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points.
MEASURING FREQUENCY
EL - 39200 Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools .
CAUTION: Refer to Test Probe Caution .
The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal.
NOTE: Connecting the Digital Multimeter (DMM) to the circuit before pressing the Hz
button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range.
1. Apply power to the circuit.
2. Set the DMM to the V (AC) position.
3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested.
4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground.
5. Set to Hz on the DMM.
6. The DMM will display the frequency measured.
Because a test lamp can light with up to 200 Q in a ground or low reference circuit they are not recommended
to be used for this type of test. A low impedance test lamp can light and indicate the circuit is good when there
is as much as 20 - 30 Q present, while a high impedance test lamp can light with up to 200 Q present in the
circuit. This is why the Digital Multi-Meter (DMM) is used when validating a ground or low reference circuit
continuity.
When using the DMM there are many vehicle conditions that can affect the ground and low reference continuity
testing. If these conditions are not met, a ground or low reference circuit test can fail on a good circuit. This
may cause longer diagnosis time and incorrect component replacement.
Any current flow through a ground or low reference circuit, while being tested, will skew the DMM continuity
reading, or display a reading higher than when there is no current flowing. Performing a ground or low
reference circuit continuity test, in reference to the vehicles battery negative terminal, will have the highest risk
of failing a good ground or low reference circuit test than any other ground reference point. The best ground test
points would be a control module housing (if the control modules housing is metal and grounded), door jamb
striker (if attached to metal), under dash metal frame work, engine block, or body ground studs (other than
where the negative battery cable is attached).
A typical DMM ground or low reference circuit continuity reading can be as high as 100 Q with the vehicle
power mode in Vehicle ON or Vehicle in Service Mode, and drop to 15 - 25 Q after switching the vehicle off.
The reading will drop below 10 Q after 30 - 40 s, then below 5 Q after 60 s. Once the vehicle completely goes
to sleep (generally 3-10 min) the reading will drop below 0.3 Q.
The following list of conditions may need to be met to ensure a valid continuity reading on a ground or low
reference circuit:
• Vehicle off
• Transmitter out of range of the vehicle
• Retained Accessory Power off (open and close the driver door after vehicle off)
• Battery charger set at a 2 A or less charge rate
• Scan tool not communicating with any vehicle control module (in some cases it may need to be
disconnected from the DLC)
• All entry doors closed
• Headlamps off(auto headlamps disabled)
• Any delay lighting off
• HVAC after blow off
• Any accessory that can work when the vehicle power mode is Vehicle OFF
• Wait up to 60 s (after all other listed conditions are met)
Locking the doors with a remote transmitter can greatly reduce the time to achieve a valid ground or low
reference continuity test result.
There are some low reference circuits that use a driver to isolate the circuit while the ignition is off. This is done
in most cases for accidental reverse battery connections or reverse polarity jump starting. When this driver is
present, the ignition will need to be on to validate the circuit.

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.
TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
EL-39200 Digital Multimeter (DMM)

TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS
EL-35616 Terminal Test Probe Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools .
WARNING: This procedure should not be performed on high voltage circuits. Performing
this procedure on high voltage circuits may result in serious injury or death.
When the condition is not currently present, but is indicated in DTC history, the cause may be intermittent. An
intermittent may also be the cause when there is a customer complaint, but the symptom cannot be duplicated.
Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of causing the condition before trying to locate an
intermittent condition.
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following
items:
• Wiring broken inside the insulation
• Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
• Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps,
poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion in the wire
to terminal contact area, etc.
• Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The conductor
can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff sections of wire
in the suspect circuits.
• Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent open or
short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
• Wiring that comes in contact with hot or exhaust components
• Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order
to verify the customer concern.
• Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
• Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder
operation.
Testing for Terminal Fretting
Some intermittent conditions can be caused by wire terminal fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion is a build-up
of insulating, oxidized wear debris that can form when there is a small motion between electrical contacts. The
oxidized wear debris can pile up enough at the electrical contact spots that the electrical resistance across the
connection increases. Movement between the contacting surfaces as small as 10 to 100 microns can cause
fretting. To put this in perspective, a sheet of paper is about 100 microns thick, so fretting motion is small and
hard to see. Vibration and thermal expansion/contraction are the main sources that create fretting motion. Since
vehicles vibrate and can experience large temperature swings, they are a good source for fretting motion. Tin,
copper, nickel, and iron surfaces are all susceptible to fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion can be difficult to
see but it looks like small, dark smudges on the terminals contact surface.
To correct a fretting condition disconnect the suspect connector and add dielectric grease / lubricant (Nyogel
760G or equivalent, meeting GM specification 9986087) to both sides of the connector terminals. Then
reconnect the connector and wipe away any excess lubricant. This will correct the additional terminal contact
resistance due to the terminal fretting corrosion.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect
component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between
the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged
connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause
contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion,
causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always
use the EL-35616 kit when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining
the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the
female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses and relays in
a bussed electrical center (BEC). Use EL-35616 kit to test for proper terminal contact. Failure to use EL-35616
kit can result in improper diagnosis of the bussed electrical center.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Separate the connector halves.
2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green
build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance,
intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of
contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal/terminated lead, verify that the retention force is significantly different
between a known good terminal and the suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the
connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to
ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in
question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
• Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying voltage to
a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply circuits that may
also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors, fuses, and any
intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component. A test lamp or a DMM
may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit to carry sufficient current.
Operate the component to test the ability of the circuit to carry sufficient current. Refer to Circuit
Testing, and Power Distribution Schematics .
• Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple ground
circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need to be tested.
Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the connections at the
component and in splice packs, where applicable. Operate the component to test the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Refer to Circuit Testing, and Ground Distribution Schematics .
Temperature Sensitivity
• An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when the
component/connection is hot.
• Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type of
intermittent condition, where applicable.
• If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
• High ambient temperatures
• Underhood/engine generated heat
• Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
• Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
• If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
• Low ambient temperatures - In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
• The condition only occurs on a cold start.
• The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
• Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is temperature
related.
• If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the condition.
Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) or other types of
electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
• A mis-routed harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary ignition
components, motors, generator, etc. - These components may induce electrical noise on a circuit that
could interfere with normal circuit operation.
• Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven solenoid or
switch - These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will occur when the
malfunctioning component is operating.
• Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way radios,
amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc. - These accessories may
create interference in other circuits while operating and the interference would disappear when the
accessory is not operating. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories.
• Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays may
contain a clamping diode.
• The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
• There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
• A new service control module is installed.
• A control module from another vehicle is installed.
• Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
NOTE: DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME
software/calibration files that are already present in the control module.
This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.
• Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming is
found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to Control
Module References for replacement, setup, and programming.
INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS
Special Tools
EL-25070 Heat Gun
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools .
WARNING: Before working on any high voltage system, be sure to wear the following
Personal Protection Equipment:
• Safety glasses with appropriate side shields when within 50 feet of the
vehicle, either indoors or outdoors
• Certified and up-to-date Class "0" Insulation gloves rated at 1000V with
leather protectors
• Visually and functionally inspect the gloves before use.
• Wear the Insulation gloves at all times when working with the high
voltage battery assembly, whether the system is energized or not.
Failure to follow the procedure exactly as written may result in serious injury or
death.
Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is caused by
vibration, torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary
to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can
consist of a wide variety of actions, including:
• Wiggling the harness
• Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
• Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
• Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
• Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected,
wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate
here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. Another option is, with the component commanded ON and
OFF by the scan tool, to move related connectors and wiring and observe the component operation. With the
vehicle ON, move related connectors and wiring while monitoring vehicle operation. If harness or connector
movement affects the data displayed, component/system operation, or vehicle operation, inspect and repair the
harness/connections as necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floor
jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by
manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their
connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to the Min/Max mode and connected to
the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents.
Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results
as well.
There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault
condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while
manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally
high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the EL-25070 heat gun.
Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high
temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition.
The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating
temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not
allow for the same control, however.
Low Temperature Conditions
Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the
shade can have the desired effect.
If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or
cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18A°C (0A°F) from one
end and +71A°C (160A°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. In addition, circuit
cooling spray can be used to cool down a component or circuit.
Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in
an effort to duplicate the concern.
Duplicating Failure Conditions
• If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate and/or capture the failure conditions.
• Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, where applicable, contains the conditions that were present when the
DTC set.
1. Review and record Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
2. Clear the DTCs using the scan tool.
3. Switch the vehicle power mode to Vehicle Off and wait 15 seconds.
4. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions that were noted in Freeze Frame/Failure Records
data, as closely as possible. The vehicle must also be operating within the Conditions for Running
the DTC. Refer to Conditions for Running the DTC in the supporting text if a DTC is being
diagnosed.
5. Monitor DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate Ran, when the enabling
conditions have been satisfied long enough for the DTC to run. The scan tool will also indicate
whether the DTC passed or failed.
• An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the DMM connected to a suspected circuit. An abnormal
reading on the DMM when the concern occurs, may help you locate the concern.
TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS
Special Tools
EL-39200 Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools .
WARNING: This procedure should not be performed on high voltage circuits. Performing
this procedure on high voltage circuits may result in serious injury or death.
Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient
points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment.
Testing for Short to Ground
Testing for Continuity
Testing for a Short to Voltage
If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the EL-39200 DMM.
This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the DMM. The DMM will generate
an audible tone when a change is detected.
NOTE: The DMM must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the
DMM can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum
(MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured.
1. Connect the DMM to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a
suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on
connecting the DMM to the circuit.
2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) or V (DC) position.
3. Press the range button of the DMM in order to select the desired voltage range.
NOTE: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a
new value in order to record the full change.
4. Select the MIN MAX function of the DMM. The DMM displays the 100 ms RECORD and emits an
audible tone (beep).
5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the
connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent
Fault Conditions.
6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been
recorded.
7. Press the MIN MAX button until the MAX value is displayed and note the value.
8. Press the MIN MAX button until the MIN value is displayed and note the value.
9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values.
• If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 V or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
• If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 V an intermittent
open or high resistance condition does not exist.
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Reviewing Stored Data in Global Diagnostic System (GDS)
A snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the
snapshot is being made. A snapshot is used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. In
GDS 2 there is not a traditional snapshot as there has been in the past. GDS 2 saves all past VIN and diagnostic
data for future viewing. GDS 2 automatically records data whenever the user views Module Diagnostics,
Vehicle Diagnostics and/or Systems Diagnostics. Module Diagnostics includes DTC Data, Identification
Information, Data Display, Control Functions and Configuration/Reset Functions. Vehicle Diagnostics includes
Vehicle Wide DTCs. Systems Diagnostics includes Inspection/Maintenance Status and Inspection/Maintenance
Information.
The Review Stored Data function allows viewing and playing of previously recorded vehicle data. This

CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSES
EL - 39200 Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools .
The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an
excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or
incomplete circuit. Fuses are a one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is
overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine if the element in the fuse is
broken (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a Digital Multimeter (DMM) or a continuity tester.
If the element is broken or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating.
Fuse Types | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
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.
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.
This type greatly increases its resistance when excessive current passes through it. The excessive current
heats the PTC device, as the device heats its resistance increases. Eventually the resistance gets so high
that the circuit is effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the PTC unit will not reset until the
circuit is opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once the voltage is removed the circuit
breaker will re-close within a second or 2.
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS
EL - 39200 Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools .
NOTE: When repairing a fusible link, fusible links cut longer than 225 mm
(approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection.
Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located
between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a Digital Multimeter
(DMM) at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must
be replaced with fusible link of the same gauge size.

Identifying Connectors |
Knowing the connector manufacturer is helpful when trying to locating the correct connector repair procedure.
There are many different connector designs used on GM vehicles and it is sometimes difficult to identify the
connector manufacturer. The information in this document should help with the identification of connector
manufactures.
The following connector manufacturers make most of the connectors found in GM vehicles:
• AFL/EPC (Alcoa Fujikura Ltd./Engineered Plastics Components)
• Bosch
• Delphi
• FCI (Framatome Connectors International)
• JAE (Japan Aviation Electronics)
• JST (Japan Solderless Terminals)
• Kostal
• Molex
• Sumitomo
• Tyco/AMP
• Yazaki
Identifying the manufacturer of a connector is often difficult. When trying to determine the manufacturer of a
connector, look for specific identifying marks that are unique to that connector supplier. Most of these identify
marks are hard to find or see. Check the connector carefully and refer to the information below for pictures and
descriptions of connector identification markings.
• Most of AFL's connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will not
have any markings on them.

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

Circuit/System Description |
The Hybrid Powertrain Control Module 2 monitors the ambient air temperature sensor with a low reference
circuit and 5 V signal circuit. The Hybrid Powertrain Control Module 2 monitors the voltage drop across the
sensor, which is proportional to temperature. When the ambient air temperatures are cold, the resistance of the
sensor is high and the voltage signals are high. When the ambient air temperatures are hot, the resistance of the
sensors is low and the voltage signals are low. The Hybrid Powertrain Control Module 2 sends the ambient air
temperature signal to the Instrument Cluster via serial data. The Instrument Cluster displays the temperature on
the driver information center.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The system voltage is between 9 - 16 V.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The instrument cluster detects the sensor signal circuit is more than 88A°C (190A°F).
The instrument cluster detects the sensor signal circuit is less than -40A°C (-40A°F).
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The Instrument Cluster uses a default air temperature value for further calculations. The driver information
center displays no ambient air temperature information.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The DTC will become history if the instrument cluster no longer detects a malfunction.

Engine Oil Pressure Sensor Circuit Low Voltage.
Engine Oil Pressure Sensor Circuit High Voltage
Diagnostic Fault Information
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Circuit/System Description |
The engine oil pressure sensor changes voltage based on the engine oil pressure. The engine oil pressure sensor
is a 3-wire sensor comprising of the signal circuit, the low reference circuit and the 5 V reference circuit. The
engine control module (ECM) supplies 5 V to the engine oil pressure sensor via the 5 V reference circuit and
provides ground via the low reference circuit. The ECM monitors the signal circuit of the engine oil pressure
sensor to determine if the engine oil pressure sensor voltage is within the normal operating range of
approximately 1 - 4 V. When the engine oil pressure is high, the engine oil pressure sensor voltage is high and
the ECM senses a high signal voltage. When the engine oil pressure is low, the engine oil pressure sensor
voltage is low and the ECM senses a low signal voltage. The ECM sends the engine oil pressure information to
the instrument cluster via serial data. The instrument cluster will illuminate or display the engine oil pressure
indicator when the engine oil pressure is low.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The engine is running.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
• The ECM detects that measured oil pressure is at least 47 kPa (6.8 psi) less than or 50 kPa (7.3 psi) higher
than the predicted oil pressure.
• The engine oil pressure is outside of a calculated working range determined by engine speed and
temperature.
• The above condition is present for greater than 10 s.
• The ECM detects that the engine oil pressure sensor signal circuit is less than 0.2 V.
• The above condition is present for greater than 10 s.
• The ECM detects that the engine oil pressure sensor signal circuit is greater than 4.8 V.
• The above condition is present for greater than 10 s.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• The ECM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostics test fails. The ECM displays this
information in the Failure Records on the scan tool.
• The instrument cluster illuminates the engine oil pressure indicator.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
• The DTC becomes history when the conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present.
• The history DTC clears after 40 malfunction-free warm-up cycles.
Diagnostic Aids
DTC P0521 can set if engine oil pressure is outside the calculated engine oil pressure model stored in the engine
control module. This can be an indication of mechanical engine issues causing lower than expected engine oil
pressure.

Diagnostic Instructions
• Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
• Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
• Refer to Diagnostic Procedure Instructions to provide an overview of each diagnostic category.
Circuit/System Description
The instrument cluster displays the engine coolant temperature, fuel level, vehicle speed and the engine speed
based on the information from the engine control module (ECM). The ECM sends information via serial data to
the body control module (BCM). The BCM then sends the information via serial data to the instrument cluster
to display the engine coolant temperature, fuel level, the engine speed, the vehicle speed and the distance
travelled, either in kilometers or miles, based on the vehicle requirements. The instrument cluster will display
dashes when its VIN does not match the VIN received from the BCM.
Diagnostic Aids
If the VIN mismatch is corrected the odometer will once again be displayed in the instrument cluster. If the
vehicle is driven for a calibrated distance with a VIN mismatch, it will cause the instrument cluster odometer to
enter into an error mode and lock itself. When this occurs the dashes will remain on the display even after
correcting the VIN mismatch. The vehicle odometer status data display on the scan tool can be used to identify
a locked odometer. The only way to unlock the instrument cluster (clear the dashes from the display) is to
perform an SPS programming event. Failure to follow the diagnostic and programming procedures may result in
either an improper odometer value or a module replacement.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The audible warnings alert the driver of a system concern or a critical vehicle condition. The radio generates the
audible warnings through the speakers. The radio receives audible warning requests via the serial data circuit. If
the radio receives multiple audible warning requests, the warning with the highest priority sounds first. On
vehicles without a radio, a chime module generates the audible warnings and receives audible warning requests
via the serial data circuit. Either the radio or the chime module is the chime producer. The following lists the
audible warning sounds:
1. Single pulse gong
2. Multiple pulse gong
3. Single pulse beep
4. Multiple pulse beep
5. Click
6. Clack
Auto Stop Mode
The chime producer activates when the vehicle comes to a stop and the driver or passenger door is opened as
requested by the body control module.
Fasten Safety Belt Warning
The chime producer activates the fasten safety belt audible warning as requested by the body control module
(BCM). The BCM sends a serial data message to the chime producer indicating the chime as a multiple gong.
The fasten safety belt warning sounds and the fasten safety belt indicator illuminates when the following occurs:
• The ignition switch transitions to ON.
• The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) detects that the drivers seat belt is not
buckled and the signal is low. The SDM sends a serial data message to the BCM indicating the seat belt
status. The instrument cluster receives a serial data message from the BCM indicating the driver seat belt
status.
If the seat belt is buckled when the ignition is turned ON, the chime does not sound. If the seat belt is buckled
while the chime is sounding, the chime stops. If the seat belt is unbuckled after the initial transition to ON, the
chime does not sound.
Lights On Warning
The chime producer activates the lights on warning as requested by the BCM. The BCM sends a serial data
message to the chime producer indicating the chime as a multiple gong. The lights on warning sounds when the
following occurs:
• The ignition is OFF.
• The BCM determines that the driver door is open and the signal circuit is low.
• The BCM determines that the headlamp switch is in the park or head position.
Brake Warning
The chime producer activates the brake audible warning as requested by multiple control modules. The BCM,
electronic brake control module or the parking brake control module sends a serial data message to the chime
producer indicating the chime as a multiple gong. The brake warning sounds and the BRAKE indicator
illuminates when the following occurs:
• The ignition is ON.
• The vehicle speed is greater than 8 km/h (4.9 mph). The instrument cluster receives a serial data message
from the engine control module (ECM) indicating the vehicle speed.
• The BCM determines that the parking brake is engaged and the signal circuit is low.
• The brake fluid is low.
Door Ajar Warning
The chime producer activates the door ajar audible warning as requested by the BCM. The BCM sends a serial
data message to the chime producer indicating the chime frequency of a medium rate and continuous duration.
The door ajar warning sounds and the appropriate door ajar indicator illuminates in the driver information
center when the following occurs:
• The BCM determines that a door (driver door, passenger door, left rear door, right rear door) is open and
the signal circuit is low. The instrument cluster also receives a serial data message from the BCM
indicating the door ajar status.
• The vehicle is not in PARK. The BCM receives a serial data message from the ECM/BCM indicating the
gear position.
Object Detection
The chime producer activates the object detection audible warning as requested by the object alarm module.
When an object is within the measuring range of the sensor, the ultrasonic pulse is reflected and is received by
the sending or a neighboring sensor. The sensor converts this signal into a voltage signal and sends this signal to
the object alarm module. The object alarm module evaluates the received sensor signals. As soon as an object is
within the measuring range, the object alarm module sends a message via CAN-Bus to the chime producer in
order to give out the acoustic distance signal. The measuring range is between 30 - 120 cm (11.81 - 47.24 in).
From a distance of 120 cm (47.24 in), the acoustic signal is active. The frequency of the beep sound increases
with decreasing distance. From a distance less than 30 cm (11.81 in), the sound becomes continuous.
Additional Warnings
The following warnings have an associated instrument cluster indicator or driver information center message:
• Turn Signal Indicators - The chime producer activates the audible warning as requested by the BCM. The
chime produces two different chimes, one when the turn signal turns off and another when the turn signal
turns on.
• Vehicle Overspeed Message - The chime producer activates the audible warning as requested by the
BCM. The BCM sends a serial data message to the chime producer.
• Fuel Level Low Message - The chime producer activates the audible warning as requested by the BCM.
The BCM sends a serial data message to the chime producer.
• Oil Pressure Indicator - The chime producer activates the audible warning as requested by the BCM. The

CHANGE TIMING BELT MESSAGE
The Instrument Cluster monitors the odometer mileage to determine when timing belt (if equipped) replacement
may be necessary. After the vehicle has accumulated approximately 100,000 miles (160,000 kilometers), the
Instrument Cluster may display the CHANGE TIMING BELT message. After the engine timing belt has been
replaced, reset the CHANGE TIMING BELT message by locating and removing the fuses that supply power to
the Instrument Cluster for two minutes.
Transmission Shift Lever Position Indicator
The Transmission Shift Lever Position Indicator (if equipped) is located on the center console and indicates the
current transmission shift lever position. The Transmission Shift Lever Position Indicator receives power and
ground and is controlled by the Body Control Module (BCM) via serial data. The Transmission Control Module
determines transmission shift lever position based on signals from the Transmission Internal Mode Switch and
sends the shift lever position information to the BCM via serial data.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Displays Test
The instrument cluster displays a preview of information that includes electric range, charging, odometer, and
battery status. This happens when the driver door is first opened, and following the welcome animation before
starting the vehicle.
A CHARGING OVERRIDE/INTERRUPTION OCCURRED message may display on the lower left of the
screen to indicate that a charging override or interruption has occurred due to:
• Override of charging settings by vehicle owner via OnStar.
• Unintended interruption of AC power at the vehicle's charge port.
• Interruption of charging by the utility company via OnStar as authorized by vehicle owner.
Refer to the owners manual for a complete list of vehicle charging status screen messages.
Indicators and Warning Messages
Refer to Indicator/Warning Message Description and Operation.
Battery and Driver Efficiency Gauges
Refer to the owner's manual for descriptions and explanations of Battery and Driver Efficiency Gauges.
Fuel Level Gauge
The instrument cluster displays the fuel level based on the information from the ECM. The ECM converts the
data from the fuel level sensors to a fuel level signal. The ECM sends the fuel level signal via a High Speed
CAN-Bus signal to the BCM. The BCM then sends the information via a Low Speed CAN-Bus signal to the
instrument cluster to display the fuel level. If the fuel level falls under 11% the instrument cluster switches on
the low fuel level indicator. The fuel gauge defaults to empty if:
• The ECM detects a malfunction in the fuel level sensor circuit.
• The BCM detects a loss of serial data communications with the ECM.
• The instrument cluster detects a loss of serial data communications with the BCM.
Speedometer
The instrument cluster displays the vehicle speed based on the information from the ECM. The ECM sends the
vehicle speed information via a High Speed CAN-Bus signal to the BCM. The BCM then sends the vehicle
speed information via a Low Speed CAN-Bus signal to the instrument cluster in order to display the vehicle
speed, either in kilometers or miles, based on the vehicle requirements. The speedometer defaults to 0 km/h (0
MPH) if:
• The BCM detects a loss of serial data communications with the ECM.
• The instrument cluster detects a loss of serial data communications with the BCM.
Odometer
The instrument cluster displays the vehicle odometer in the driver information center. The ECM send a distance
rolling count message on GMLAN to the body control module (BCM). The BCM uses this information to
calculate the vehicle odometer. This odometer value is then sent to the instrument cluster on GMLAN. The
instrument cluster does not calculate the odometer. The odometer displays miles or kilometers as selected in the
Units menu.
The odometer value is stored in multiple modules. The instrument cluster is a secondary storage module for the
odometer, while the BCM is the primary storage and accumulator.
In addition to storing the odometer value for the vehicle, the instrument cluster and the BCM store the VIN.
Software checks are performed to ensure these modules, and their stored odometer information, can not be
move or transferred between different vehicles.
If the VINs do not match, the instrument cluster will go into an error mode and display "—" (dashes). If the
VIN mismatch exists over a calibrated distance, the instrument cluster will "lock" the odometer display and
only show dashes, even if the VIN mismatch is subsequently correct. The only way to clear or "unlock" the
instrument cluster is to perform a BCM programming event using SPS.
Compass
The vehicle may have a compass display on the Driver Information Center. The compass receives its heading
and other information from the Global Positioning System (GPS) antenna. If applicable, the GPS antenna is
located with the telematics communication interface control module.
Driver Information Center Display
In the lower middle of the instrument cluster, an additional display is installed. Its task is to give additional
information, such as an odometer or error codes. This part of the instrument cluster is available in 4 different
variants, mostly depending on the assembled engine. For further information refer to Driver Information
Center (DIC) Description and Operation.

SYMPTOMS - FIXED AND MOVEABLE WINDOWS
1. Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle before using the symptom tables in order to verify that all of
the following are true:
• There are no DTCs set.
• The control modules can communicate via the serial data link.
2. Review the power window system operation or rear window defogger system operation in order to familiarize
yourself with the system functions. Refer to the following:
Rear Window Defogger Description and Operation
Power Windows Description and Operation
Visual/Physical Inspection
• Inspect for aftermarket devices which could affect the operation of the rear window defogger. Refer to
Checking Aftermarket Accessories .
• Inspect the easily accessible or visible system components for obvious damage or conditions which could
cause the symptom.
Intermittent | ||
|
Poor electrical connections or wiring cause most intermittent conditions. Perform a careful visual/physical check for
the following conditions:
• Poor mating of the connector halves or a terminal not fully seated in the connector body
• An improperly formed or damaged terminal
• Reform or replace connector terminals in the problem circuit in order to ensure proper contact tension.
• Poor terminal to wire connection requires removing the terminal from the connector body in order to perform
the check.
Use a scan tool in order to help detect intermittent conditions. The scan tool has several features that can be used to
locate an intermittent condition. The snapshot feature can capture and store data parameters within the scan tool
when the malfunction occurs. This information can then be reviewed in order to see what caused the malfunction.

WINDOW MOTOR PROGRAMMING - EXPRESS FUNCTION
Window Motor Normalized Procedure
A window motor that has not been normalized will no longer perform the express up and express down functions,
this may occur during the following conditions:
• When a window motor has been disconnected
• When a door harness has been disconnected
• When the battery has been disconnected or replaced
NOTE: When DTC B3205 4B & 3210 4B are set, the following warnings will be displayed on
the driver information center:
Open, then Close Driver Window
Open, then Close Passenger Window
These warnings will clear once the windows have been "Normalized" and the
respective DTC will clear.
To normalize the window motor, follow these steps:
NOTE: The doors must be completely closed prior to normalizing the windows, a door
that is open or ajar may cause the power window to function abnormally or to
become inoperative while performing the normalizing procedure. If this occurs,
verify that the door is completely closed then repeat the normalizing
procedure.
1. Vehicle in Service Mode.
2. Starting with the window completely UP, press and hold the power window switch until the window is fully
open and continue holding the switch down for approximately 5 seconds after the window is completely open.
3. Pull the power window switch up until the window is fully closed and continue holding the switch up for
approximately 5 seconds after the window is completely closed.
The window should now be normalized and the window should perform the express up and express down functions.
Window Motor Relearn Procedure
A relearn procedure may need to be performed for any Local Interconnect Network (LIN) window motor for the
following conditions:
• When the window glass is out of alignment
• When the window glass has been replaced
• When the door has been replaced
• When the window regulator has been replaced
NOTE: Prior to performing the relearn procedure the vehicle must have all 4 wheels
properly inflated and mounted, the vehicle must be sitting on a level surface and all
doors must be completely closed.
To relearn the window motor, follow these steps:
1. Vehicle in Service Mode.
2. With a scan tool, select Module Diagnosis, Body Control Module, Configuration/Reset Functions and then
select the appropriate Clear Window Learn Values for the window motor requiring the relearn procedure.
3. After the learn procedure, exit the scan tool learn procedure completely, the power window cannot be
normalized and will not function until you exit the program.
4. Starting with the window completely UP, press and hold the power window switch until the window is fully
open and continue holding the switch down for approximately 5 seconds after the window is completely open.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
FULL-CUT METHOD DESCRIPTION
NOTE: |
|
Use only the full cut method, also known in the field as full strip method, when installing windows.
This method includes the following:
• The replacement of a majority of the urethane adhesive bead. Remove all but approximately 2 mm (3/64 in) of
the existing bead of urethane adhesive from the pinch-weld flange.
• Apply pinch-weld primer to any exposed painted areas on the pinch-weld flange.
No mounds or loose pieces of urethane adhesive should remain on the pinch-weld flange. Do not remove all traces of
urethane adhesive.
POWER WINDOWS DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Power Windows System Components
The power window system consists of the following components:
• Driver window/outside rearview mirror switch
• Passenger window switch
• Left rear window switch
• Right rear window switch
• Right rear door latch
• Left rear door latch
• Window motors in each of the doors
• 25A Fuse
• Body control module (BCM)
Driver Express Up and Express Down Power Window Motor
The driver door contains a window motor is smart motor that will detect excessive resistance while performing the
express up function and automatically reverse direction to prevent injury to any occupants that may become trapped
between the closing window and the door frame. The automatic reverse safety feature can be overridden by pulling
and holding the window switch.
The logic circuit within the window motor monitors the up, down and express signal circuits which are normally
equal to B+ voltage. When a switch is used on the driver window/outside rearview mirror switch, the contacts close
causing a voltage drop within the appropriate signal circuit. The driver window motor will detect the voltage drop
and will command the window to move in the direction requested.
Passenger, Left Rear and Right Rear Express Down Window Motors
For the passenger, right rear and left rear doors, when their window switch is pressed in the down position, battery
positive voltage is applied to their respective window motor control circuit and ground to the other window motor
control circuit causing that window to open. When the individual window switch is pulled in the up position, voltage
and ground is applied to the window motor in the opposite direction causing that window to close. The return path to
ground is supplied through the inactive control circuit being normally grounded through the window switch.
Each passenger and rear window switch communicates to the BCM by a serial data circuit. When the driver wishes
to control the passenger, left rear or right rear window, the driver will use the appropriate switch on the driver
window/outside rearview mirror switch. When this switch is used, a serial data message is sent to the BCM
requesting a window motor command, the BCM will then send a serial data message to the appropriate door window
switch which will then command that window to move in the direction requested.
Lockout Switch Feature
The driver window/outside rearview mirror switch contains a window lockout switch, when the driver presses the
window lockout switch, a serial data message is sent to the BCM which will send a disable command to the rear
window switches, the rear window switches will then ignore all functions when a passenger uses the rear window
switch. The rear window motor commands will still function normally when the driver uses the appropriate switches
on the driver window/outside rearview mirror switch.
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Rear Window Defogger System Components
The rear window defogger system consists of the following components:
• HVAC Control Module
• HVAC Controls Switch Assembly
• Rear Defogger Relay
• Rear Defogger Grid
• Driver Outside Rearview Mirror
• Passenger Outside Rearview Mirror
• 40A Fuse

Rear Window Defogger Operation |
The rear defog control system utilizes a single zone backlight design, driven with a single relay configuration.
Additionally, up to two outside rear view mirrors can be heated if required. A switch for the customer to control the
system is provided within the HVAC controls switch assembly. Also included in the HVAC controls switch assembly
is an indicator to inform the customer with the current state of the system. The system is only operational when the
vehicle is ON/RUN.
Pressing the heated rear window switch causes the HVAC controls switch assembly to send a serial data message to
the HVAC control module requesting rear window defog operation. The HVAC control module upon receipt of the
serial data message will provide voltage to the coil side of the rear defogger relay, this will energize the relay causing
the relay switch contacts to close allowing B+ voltage to flow through the rear defogger grid control circuit to the
rear defogger grid.
When the rear heated rear window switch is pressed and the vehicle is ON/RUN, the rear window defogger grid will
activate and will turn off automatically depending upon the vehicle speed (refer to owner's manual for rear window
defogger operation cycles)
Heated Mirrors
The heated mirrors are also controlled through the rear defogger relay. Whenever the rear window defogger is turned
on battery voltage is supplied to the mirror heater elements through the left and right mirror heater element control
circuits.
Most stationary windows, specifically windshields, are retained to the body with adhesive which adheres the window
to the body, increasing structural integrity. The reinstallation of the windows with adhesive requires complete
replacement of the adhesive bead, and is known as the full cut method. All stationary windows must use a adhesive
systems which meet GM Specification GMW-15672.
For replacement of any adhesive-installed window, use the full cut method only.
Use an adhesive that is approved by GM, Specification GMW-15672.
Use these materials based on specific manufacturer. Do NOT intermix primers or adhesives from one manufacturer
to another.
Always follow the system manufacturers instructions for application, handling, and curing.

REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
WIRE TO WIRE REPAIR - HORNS
Special Tools
• EL-38125-10 Splice Sleeve Crimping Tool (non GMNA)
• J-38125-5A Ultra Torch Special Tool
• J-38125-8 Splice Sleeve Crimping Tool (GMNA)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools .
WARNING: In order to reduce the risk of personal injury, loss of high voltage isolation to
ground and higher system impedance, do not attempt to repair any HV wiring,
connector, or terminal that is damaged. High voltage coaxial type cables are not
repairable. Never attempt to repair a coaxial type cable. The entire
cable/harness or component must be replaced. In order to maintain system
integrity and personal safety, never attempt to repair any high voltage wiring,
cables, or terminals. Performing this procedure on high voltage circuits may
result in serious injury or death.
NOTE: If the wiring harness internal to the transmission is damaged, the wiring
harness must be replaced. The use of splice sleeves in an attempt to repair the
internal transmission wires, connectors, or terminals could result in
performance issues.
NOTE: Do not splice wires in Door Harness Grommets.
NOTE: The DuraSeal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features:
• A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat
shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside.
• A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides the necessary low
resistance contact integrity for these sensitive, low energy circuits.
Use only DuraSeal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except high voltage and
specialty cables. Use DuraSeal splice sleeves where there are special requirements such as moisture sealing.
Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using DuraSeal splice sleeves.
Splice Sleeve Selection | ||||||||||||||||||
|
NOTE: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the
procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip
with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
• Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness in
order to avoid wire insulation damage.
• Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except Tefzel and coaxial.
• Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the
location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness
branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
• When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
• Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
• Find the wire on the schematic and convert to regional wiring gauge size.
• 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 5.0 mm (0.20 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. For high temperature wiring, slide a section of high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing down the length of
wire to be spliced. Ensure that the shrink tubing will not interfere with the splice procedure.
5. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool
nests.
![]() |
Fig. 2: Splice Sleeve Crimping Tool With 4 Crimp Nests |
6. The EL-38125-10 splice sleeve crimping tool has four crimp nests. The largest crimp nest (4) is used for
crimping 10 and 12 gauge wires. The second largest crimp nest (3) is used for crimping 14 and 16 gauge
wires. The third largest crimp nest (2) is used for crimping 18 and 20 gauge wires. The smallest crimp
nest (1) is used for crimping 22 to 26 gauge wires. The crimp nests are referenced in the table (farther
above) under the crimp tool nest color.

Fig. 3: Splice Sleeve Crimping Tool With 3 Crimp Nests |
7. The J-38125-8 splice sleeve crimping tool has three crimp nests. The largest crimp nest (3) is used for
crimping 10 and 12 gauge wires. The second largest crimp nest (2) is used for crimping 14 and 16 gauge
wires. The smallest crimp nest (1) is used for crimping 18 to 20 gauge wires. The crimp nests are
referenced in the table (farther above) under the crimp tool nest color.
8. Use the splice sleeve crimp tool in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of
the splice sleeve crimp tool. For the four crimp nest tool, use the three largest crimp nests to crimp the
splice sleeves. For the three crimp nest tool, use all three crimp nests to crimp the splice sleeves. Use the
four and three crimp tool diagrams (above) and the table (farther above) to match the splice sleeve with
the correct crimp nest. The crimp tool diagram callout numbers match the numbers in the table (under
crimp tool nest color).
9. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1)
from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice
sleeve in the proper nest.

12. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
13. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
• The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
• A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
Weatherpack™ Wiring Repair
NOTE: Some replacement pigtail connectors may be delivered without the terminated
leads installed into the connector. For Weatherpack™ connectors, all
terminated leads included in the package should to be installed into the
connector. If the connector end view shows that a terminal is not occupied, the
extra terminated lead(s) need to be installed and the end(s) sealed using a
DuraSeal splice sleeve and taped back into the harness.
1. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. Refer to Folded-Over Wire
Repair for splicing wires of 0.35 mm or less (22, 24, 26 gauge sizes) and for splicing wires of different
gauges.

2. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the high temperature heat shrink tubing.
3. Gradually move the heat from the center to the open end of the tubing:
• The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
• A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
4. Replace any reflective tape and clips that may have been removed during the repair.
CONNECTOR RECONNECTION - HORNS
EL-35616 Terminal Test Probe Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools .
When the condition is not currently present, but is indicated in DTC history, the cause may be intermittent. An
intermittent may also be the cause when there is a customer complaint, but the symptom cannot be duplicated.
Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of causing the condition before trying to locate an
intermittent condition.
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following
items:
• Loose, corroded, or painted terminal stud/fastener
• Wiring broken inside the insulation
• Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
• A terminal not seated all the way into the connector body
• Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps,
poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion in the wire
to terminal contact area, etc.
• Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The conductor
can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff sections of wire
in the suspect circuits.
• Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent open or
short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
• Wiring that comes in contact with hot or exhaust components
• Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order
to verify the customer concern.
• Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
• Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder
operation.
Testing for Terminal Fretting
Some intermittent conditions can be caused by wire terminal fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion is a build-up
of insulating, oxidized wear debris that can form when there is a small motion between electrical contacts. The
oxidized wear debris can pile up enough at the electrical contact spots that the electrical resistance across the
connection increases. Movement between the contacting surfaces as small as 10 to 100 microns can cause
fretting. To put this in perspective, a sheet of paper is about 100 microns thick, so fretting motion is small and
hard to see. Vibration and thermal expansion/contraction are the main sources that create fretting motion. Since
vehicles vibrate and can experience large temperature swings, they are a good source for fretting motion. Tin,
copper, nickel, and iron surfaces are all susceptible to fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion can be difficult to
see but it looks like small, dark smudges on the terminals contact surface.
To correct a fretting condition disconnect the suspect connector and add dielectric grease / lubricant (Nyogel
760G or equivalent, meeting GM specification 9986087) to both sides of the connector terminals. Then
reconnect the connector and wipe away any excess lubricant. This will correct the additional terminal contact
resistance due to the terminal fretting corrosion.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect
component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between
the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged
connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause
contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion,
causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always
use the EL-35616 kit when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining
the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the
female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses and relays in
a bussed electrical center. Use the EL-35616 kit to test for proper terminal contact. Failure to use the EL-35616
kit can result in improper diagnosis of the bussed electrical center.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Separate the connector halves.
2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green
build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance,
intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of
contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal/terminated lead, verify that the retention force is significantly different
between a known good terminal and the suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the
connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to
ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter into the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
• Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying voltage to
a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply circuits that may
also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors, fuses, and any
intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component. A test lamp or a DMM
may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit to carry sufficient current.
Operate the component to test the ability of the circuit to carry sufficient current. Refer to Circuit Testing
, and Power Distribution Schematics .
• Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple ground
circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need to be tested.
Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point (screw or stud). Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Operate the component to test the
ability of the circuit to carry sufficient current. Refer to Circuit Testing , and Ground Distribution
Schematics .
Temperature Sensitivity
• An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when the
component/connection is hot.
• Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type of
intermittent condition, where applicable.
• If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
• High ambient temperatures
• Underhood/engine generated heat
• Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
• Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
• If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
• Low ambient temperatures - In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
• The condition only occurs on a cold start.
• The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
• Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is temperature
related.
• If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the condition.
Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference or other types of electrical
noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
• A mis-routed harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary ignition
components, motors, generator etc. - These components may induce electrical noise on a circuit that could
interfere with normal circuit operation.
• Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven solenoid or
switch - These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will occur when the
malfunctioning component is operating.
• Installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way radios, amplifiers,
electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc. - These accessories may create
interference in other circuits while operating and the interference would disappear when the accessory is
not operating. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories .
• Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays may
contain a clamping diode.
• The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
• There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
• A new service control module is installed.
• A control module from another vehicle is installed.
• Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
NOTE: DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME
software/calibration files that are already present in the control module.
This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.
• Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming is
found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to Control
Module References for replacement, setup, and programming.

Circuit/System Description |
When a keyless entry transmitter is inserted into the transmitter pocket/slot and the ignition mode switch is
pressed, the transponder embedded in the transmitter is energized by the immobilizer antenna exciter coil. The
transponder transmits a signal to the body control module (BCM). The BCM then compares this value to a
value stored in memory. If the value is correct, the BCM will send the prerelease password via the serial data
circuit to the engine control module (ECM). If the learned key code does not match or a transponder value is not
received, the BCM will send the start disable password to the ECM.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Vehicle is ON or in Service Mode.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The BCM detects a circuit fault on the immobilizer antenna circuits.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• Vehicle starting will be disabled.

DTC B3055: NO TRANSPONDER MODULATION OR NO TRANSPONDER
Diagnostic Instructions
• Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
• Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
• Refer to Diagnostic Procedure Instructions to provide an overview of each diagnostic category.
DTC Descriptor
No Transponder Modulation or No Transponder
For symptom byte information, refer to Symptom Byte List .
Circuit/System Description
When a vehicle key is inserted into the key slot and the vehicle on/off switch is pressed, the transponder
embedded in the head of the key is energized by the exciter coils. The energized transponder transmits a signal
that contains its unique value, which is received by the body control module (BCM). The BCM then compares
this value to a value stored in memory. If the value is not correct, the BCM disables engine start.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Vehicle is ON or in Service Mode.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The BCM is unable to measure the key transponder value.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• Vehicle starting will be disabled.
• The security indicator will illuminate. A service message will be displayed in the driver information
center.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
• A current DTC will be cleared when the BCM detects a valid transponder value from the key.
• A history DTC will be cleared after 100 malfunction-free power mode cycles.
Diagnostic Aids
• Because DTC B3055 may be caused by a malfunctioning vehicle key, it is necessary to have all available
keys at the time of diagnosis. A possible scenario would be a customer leaving the vehicle with a spare
key during the service visit, but the key which they use everyday, not the spare key, is the cause of the
DTC. Not having all available keys in this instance would result in the customer concern not being
duplicate or a misdiagnosis.
• Ensure that the immobilizer control module is properly installed and fully seated. An audible and/or
tactile click will indicate that the immobilizer control module is fully seated. To ensure proper
transponder communication, the key must be in a specific location in relation to the immobilizer control
module. If the immobilizer control module is not fully seated, transponder communication may not occur
and DTC B3055 will set.

embedded in the head of the key is energized by the exciter coils surrounding the key slot. The energized
transponder transmits a signal that contains its unique value, which is received by the body control module
(BCM). The BCM then compares this value to a value stored in memory. If the value is not correct, the BCM
disables engine start.
Conditions for Running the DTC
• Vehicle is ON or in Service Mode.
• A valid transponder value has been read.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
• The transponder value is valid and matches the value stored in the BCM memory.
• The transponder calculation of the challenge from the BCM does not match the BCM calculation.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• Vehicle starting will be disabled.
• The security indicator will illuminate. The driver information center will display a service message.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
• A current DTC will be cleared when a valid transponder value has been read and authenticated.

compartment needs to be removed to access the slot.
8. Follow the on-screen instructions.
NOTE:
If the programming does not complete or hangs during the programming
operation, refer to Unable to Complete Programming below.
9. After programming all keys "Programming Complete" is displayed.
10. Press and hold the vehicle ON/OFF switch for 15 s.
11. Press the lock and unlock button on each transmitter that was programmed. This will awaken each
transmitter and allow passive and active keyless entry functions to be established.
12. With a scan tool, clear any DTCs.
13. Verify each key is operating properly. Operate each of the keyless entry functions using the buttons on the
transmitter and then start the vehicle. When verifying operation, make sure that no other keys are near the
vehicle.
Unable to Complete Programming
When attempting to program immobilizer components, various conditions may prevent the programming
operation from completing. These conditions may be caused by normal system operation, a system malfunction,
or an external influence. Common symptoms of a incomplete programming is receiving an error message during
the attempt or having the SPS application become unresponsive.
• DTCs are set in the body control module (BCM)
The immobilizer system is a function of the BCM software. If immobilizer DTCs are set in the BCM,
such as DTC B2955, a fault has been identified in the immobilizer system. If this is not corrected before
attempting to program components, the programming may not complete. Correct all immobilizer DTCs
before attempting to program any immobilizer components.
• The key has been programmed to another vehicle or is not the correct type for the vehicle
A key can only be programmed to a single vehicle. Once a key is programming to a vehicle, it is paired
for the life of the key. The key can be learned to the same vehicle again and again, but it is not able to be
programmed to a different vehicle.
Many vehicle are available with both a base keyless entry system and an optional passive entry system.
These keys typically look identical but cannot be substituted for one another. To verify the key is correct,
compare the part number that is etched on the key to the part number identified in the parts catalog. The
key should be correct for the system installed in the vehicle.
• The theft deterrent module is not properly secured or the key is not properly positioned in the pocket/slot.
A theft deterrent module that is not fully seated or is otherwise not properly secured may prevent a
coupling between the transponder located in the key and the theft deterrent module. Being out of place by
as little as 1 mm may prevent programming from completing. Make sure the theft deterrent module is
properly installed and fully seated in it's clip.
The key shank must be fully extended so that the entire key shank fits into the programming slot.
To determine if the theft deterrent module is properly secured, remove the battery from the key and place
the key into the pocket/slot. Attempt to change the vehicle mode by pressing the vehicle ON/OFF switch.
The vehicle should change modes. If the NO REMOTE DETECTED message is displayed on the DIC,
the theft deterrent module may not be properly secured.
• External interference is interrupting the programming operation
External RF interference and EMI may interrupt the low frequency coupling between the key and theft
deterrent module. This interference may come from many different locations. Devices plugged into the
vehicle power outlets such as cell phone chargers, laptop computers, GPS devices, etc. may cause
interference. Vehicle location may also cause interference. Locations near airports and military
installations may causer interference. Remove all customer installed devices and, if necessary, move the
vehicle if interference is suspected.
Keys can be programming in various ways using the procedures outlined below. Using the Replacing Keys
procedures will first erase all the known keys from the vehicle. Any existing keys and any new keys will then
be programmed. This procedure should be used any time a key is required to be unlearned or erased from a
vehicle. If a new key is being learned to a vehicle to replace a damaged, inoperative, or stolen key, the
Replacing Keys procedure must be used. This ensures that the old key cannot be used to access or start the
vehicle after programming.
The Adding Keys procedure does not erase any keys prior to programming. The procedure will simply program
the key into the next available slot. The Adding Keys procedure should only be used when adding an additional
key to the vehicle. The Adding Keys procedure should never be used to program a key to a vehicle that is
having a key replaced, regardless of the cause for the replacement.

9. Press and hold the vehicle ON/OFF switch for 15 seconds.
10. Press the lock and unlock button on each key that was programmed. This will awaken each key and allow
passive and active keyless entry functions to be established.
11. With a scan tool, clear any DTCs.
12. Verify each key is operating properly. Operate each of the keyless entry functions using the buttons on the
key and then start the vehicle. When verifying operation, make sure that no other keys are near the
vehicle.
Unable to Complete Programming
When attempting to program immobilizer components, various conditions may prevent the programming
operation from completing. These conditions may be caused by normal system operation, a system malfunction,
or an external influence. Common symptoms of a incomplete programming is receiving an error message during
the attempt or having the SPS application become unresponsive.
• DTCs are set in the body control module (BCM)
The immobilizer system is a function of the BCM software. If immobilizer DTCs are set in the BCM,
such as DTC B2955, a fault has been identified in the immobilizer system. If this is not corrected before
attempting to program components, the programming may not complete. Correct all immobilizer DTCs
before attempting to program any immobilizer components.
• The key has been programmed to another vehicle or is not the correct type for the vehicle
A key can only be programmed to a single vehicle. Once a key is programming to a vehicle, it is paired
for the life of the key. The key can be learned to the same vehicle again and again, but it is not able to be
programmed to a different vehicle.
Many vehicle are available with both a base keyless entry system and an optional passive entry system.
These keys typically look identical but cannot be substituted for one another. To verify the key is correct,
compare the part number that is etched on the key to the part number identified in the parts catalog. The
key should be correct for the system installed in the vehicle.
• The theft deterrent module is not properly secured or the key is not properly positioned in the pocket/slot.
A theft deterrent module that is not fully seated or is otherwise not properly secured may prevent a
coupling between the transponder located in the key and the theft deterrent module. Being out of place by
as little as 1 mm may prevent programming from completing. Make sure the theft deterrent module is
properly installed and fully seated in it's clip.
The key shank must be fully extended so that the entire key shank fits into the programming slot.
To determine if the theft deterrent module is properly secured, remove the battery from the key and place
the key into the pocket/slot. Attempt to change the vehicle mode by pressing the vehicle ON/OFF switch.
The vehicle should change modes. If the NO REMOTE DETECTED message is displayed on the DIC,
the theft deterrent module may not be properly secured.
• External interference is interrupting the programming operation
External RF interference and EMI may interrupt the low frequency coupling between the key and theft
deterrent module. This interference may come from many different locations. Devices plugged into the
vehicle power outlets such as cell phone chargers, laptop computers, GPS devices, etc. may cause
interference. Vehicle location may also cause interference. Locations near airports and military
installations may causer interference. Remove all customer installed devices and, if necessary, move the
vehicle if interference is suspected.

I Module
The immobilizer system functions are provided by the keyless entry control module, remote control door lock
receiver, body control module (BCM), hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1, and engine control module
(ECM), as well as any modules which store and report the environment identifier. The keyless start system use
low frequency antennas in three different locations on the vehicle to determine the location of the transmitter.
Multiple antenna are used to ensure complete coverage of the vehicle interior and rear compartment.
When the vehicle ON/OFF switch is pressed, the low frequency antennas emit a challenge to the keyless entry
transmitter. The transmitter receives this challenge and emits it's response as an RF message. The transmitter
transmits a signal that contains its unique value, which is received by the BCM through the remote control door
lock receiver. The BCM then compares this value to a value stored in memory. The BCM also monitors various
modules to determine if the stored environment identifiers match.
If both the environment identifier and the value received from the transponder match, the BCM will send the
prerelease password via serial data to the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1. If the encrypted code's
unique value is incorrect or the environment identifier does not match, the BCM will send the fuel disable
message to the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1.
When the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 receives the BCM prerelease password, the hybrid/EV
powertrain control module 1 will challenge the password. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 sends
this challenge to the BCM via serial data. Both the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 and BCM perform a
calculation on this challenge. Additionally, the ECM will also monitor this challenge and calculate it's own
response. If the BCM calculated response to the challenge equals the calculation performed by the hybrid/EV
powertrain control module 1 and ECM, the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 and ECM will allow vehicle
propulsion.
If RF communication is interrupted, a "No Remote Detected" message will be displayed on the DIC. In these
cases, the extended transmitter key blade can be placed in the transmitter slot located in the upper instrument
panel storage compartment, under the rubber mat. The immobilizer antenna coil is located directly beneath the
transmitter slot. Placing the transmitter in the pocket will create a low powered coupling between the transmitter
and immobilizer antenna, allowing communications to occur and enabling vehicle starting.
The components of the theft system are as follows:
• BCM
• Hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1
• ECM
• Immobilizer antenna
• Ignition key or keyless entry transmitter
• Security indicator
• Various modules which store and report the environment identifier
Body Control Module (BCM)
The immobilizer system is an integral part of the BCM and is controlled internally within the BCM. The BCM
can learn up to 8 keys (transponder values).
The BCM uses the following inputs:
• Environment identifier exchange with various modules
• Encrypted code from the vehicle key, received by the immobilizer antenna
The BCM uses the following outputs:
• Prerelease password communication with ECM
• Challenge/response with ECM
When the vehicle ON/OFF switch is pressed, the low frequency antennas emit a challenge to the keyless entry
transmitter. The transmitter receives this challenge and emits it's response as an RF message. The transmitter
transmits a signal that contains its unique value, which is received by the BCM through the remote control door
lock receiver. The BCM then compares this value to a value stored in memory. The BCM then performs one of
the following functions:
• If the encrypted code value matches the values stored in the BCM memory, the BCM will send the
prerelease password to the ECM via serial data.
• If the encrypted code unique value does not match the value stored in the BCM, the BCM will send the
start disable message to the ECM via serial data.
• If the BCM is unable to measure the ignition key encrypted code value, the BCM will not send any
messages to the ECM.
Hybrid/EV Powertrain Control Module 1
When the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 receives the BCM prerelease password, the hybrid/EV
powertrain control module 1 will challenge the password. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 sends
this challenge to the BCM via the serial data circuit. Both the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 and BCM
perform a calculation on this challenge. If the calculated response from the BCM equals the calculation
performed by the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1, the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 will
allow vehicle propulsion.
The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 will disable vehicle propulsion if any of the following
immobilization conditions occur:
• The prerelease password is invalid.
• The start disable password is sent by the BCM.
• No passwords are received. There is no communication with the BCM.
• The BCM calculated response to the challenge does not equal the calculation performed by the hybrid/EV
powertrain control module 1.
Engine Control Module (ECM)
The ECM functions in the immobilizer system as a type of slave device. It does not general the password
challenge, but it does monitor the challenge and response messages between the BCM and hybrid/EV
powertrain control module 1. The ECM will calculate it's own result to the challenge. If the ECM response does
not equal the BCM response, the ECM may also disable vehicle propulsion. To allow vehicle propulsion, the
response from the BCM, ECM, and hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 must all match.
The ECM will disable vehicle propulsion if any of the following immobilization conditions occur:
• The start disable password is sent by the BCM.
• No passwords are received. There is no communication with the BCM or hybrid/EV powertrain control
module 1.
• The BCM calculated response to the challenge does not equal the calculation performed by the ECM.
Immobilizer Antenna
The immobilizer antenna contains an immobilizer coil. The coil passively powers the transponder located in the
ignition key when the key is in the transmitter slot. When powered, the key transmits its unique value to the
immobilizer antenna, which is then relayed to the BCM via a LIN serial data circuit. The immobilizer antenna
also receives B+ and ground from the BCM.
The immobilizer antenna is used to:
1. Learn keys
2. To start vehicle with or without RF interference
3. To start vehicle when key battery is dead
Keyless Entry Transmitter
Each keyless entry transmitter contains a transponder with a unique encrypted value. The transponder's
encrypted value is fixed and unable to be changed. The immobilizer system uses the transponder value to
determine if a valid transmitter is being used to start the vehicle.
Environment Identifier
Various modules throughout the vehicle learn a specific environment identifier during the module programming
process. The environment identifier is learned by each individual module and matches the environment
identifier stored in the BCM. Prior to starting after a battery disconnect, each of the modules which store a
environment identifier will compare their identifier to that of the identifier stored in the BCM. If all the
identifiers match, the engine starting process will continue. If the environment identifiers do not match, engine
starting will be disabled.
Security Indicator
The BCM will command the instrument panel cluster to illuminate the security indicator when the vehicle is in
Service Mode to indicate a fault has occurred within the immobilizer system and when the engine starting is
disabled.
Certain vehicles equipped with OnStarA® now have an additional feature that allows for remote limiting of the
vehicle's speed. This OnStarA® feature is called Stolen Vehicle Slow-Down and is now part of the OnStarA®
Stolen Vehicle Assistance service. This feature, when used in conjunction with local law enforcement and strict
guidelines at the OnStarA® Call Center, will slow the vehicle by interacting with the engine control system.
When the engine control system receives a valid request from the OnStarA® telematics communications
interface module, it will enter into a reduced engine power/vehicle speed limiting mode, which will decelerate
the vehicle. Once the request is active the engine control module begins reducing engine torque to match
requested vehicle speed and a REDUCED ENGINE POWER indication is displayed. No DTCs will be set
during this process.

• EL-38125-10 Splice Sleeve Crimping Tool (non GMNA)
• J-38125-5A Ultra Torch Special Tool
• J-38125-8 Splice Sleeve Crimping Tool (GMNA)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools .
WARNING: In order to reduce the risk of personal injury, loss of high voltage isolation to
ground and higher system impedance, do not attempt to repair any HV wiring,
connector, or terminal that is damaged. High voltage coaxial type cables are not
repairable. Never attempt to repair a coaxial type cable. The entire
cable/harness or component must be replaced. In order to maintain system
integrity and personal safety, never attempt to repair any high voltage wiring,
cables, or terminals. Performing this procedure on high voltage circuits may
result in serious injury or death.
NOTE: If the wiring harness internal to the transmission is damaged, the wiring
harness must be replaced. The use of splice sleeves in an attempt to repair the
internal transmission wires, connectors, or terminals could result in
performance issues.
NOTE: Do not splice wires in Door Harness Grommets.
NOTE: The DuraSeal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features:
• A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat
shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside.
• A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides the necessary low
resistance contact integrity for these sensitive, low energy circuits.
Use only DuraSeal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except high voltage and
specialty cables. Use DuraSeal splice sleeves where there are special requirements such as moisture sealing.
Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using DuraSeal splice sleeves.
Splice Sleeve Selection | ||||||||||||||||||
|
NOTE: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the
procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip
with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
• Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness in
order to avoid wire insulation damage.
• Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except Tefzel and coaxial.
• Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the
location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness
branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
• When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
• Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
• Find the wire on the schematic and convert to regional wiring gauge size.
• 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 5.0 mm (0.20 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. For high temperature wiring, slide a section of high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing down the length of
wire to be spliced. Ensure that the shrink tubing will not interfere with the splice procedure.
5. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool
nests.
![]() |
Fig. 103: Splice Sleeve Crimping Tool With 4 Crimp Nests |
6. The EL-38125-10 splice sleeve crimping tool has four crimp nests. The largest crimp nest (4) is used for
crimping 10 and 12 gauge wires. The second largest crimp nest (3) is used for crimping 14 and 16 gauge
wires. The third largest crimp nest (2) is used for crimping 18 and 20 gauge wires. The smallest crimp
nest (1) is used for crimping 22 to 26 gauge wires. The crimp nests are referenced in the table (farther
above) under the crimp tool nest color.
![]() |
Fig. 104: Splice Sleeve Crimping Tool With 3 Crimp Nests |
7. The J-38125-8 splice sleeve crimping tool has three crimp nests. The largest crimp nest (3) is used for
crimping 10 and 12 gauge wires. The second largest crimp nest (2) is used for crimping 14 and 16 gauge
wires. The smallest crimp nest (1) is used for crimping 18 to 20 gauge wires. The crimp nests are
referenced in the table (farther above) under the crimp tool nest color.
8. Use the splice sleeve crimp tool in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of
the splice sleeve crimp tool. For the four crimp nest tool, use the three largest crimp nests to crimp the
splice sleeves. For the three crimp nest tool, use all three crimp nests to crimp the splice sleeves. Use the
four and three crimp tool diagrams (above) and the table (farther above) to match the splice sleeve with
the correct crimp nest. The crimp tool diagram callout numbers match the numbers in the table (under
crimp tool nest color).
9. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1)
from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice
sleeve in the proper nest.

12. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
13. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
• The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
• A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
Weatherpack™ Wiring Repair
NOTE: Some replacement pigtail connectors may be delivered without the terminated
leads installed into the connector. For Weatherpack™ connectors, all
terminated leads included in the package should to be installed into the
connector. If the connector end view shows that a terminal is not occupied, the
extra terminated lead(s) need to be installed and the end(s) sealed using a
DuraSeal splice sleeve and taped back into the harness.
1. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. Refer to Folded-Over Wire
Repair for splicing wires of 0.35 mm or less (22, 24, 26 gauge sizes) and for splicing wires of different
gauges.

CONNECTOR RECONNECTION - INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONSOLE
EL-35616 Terminal Test Probe Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools .
When the condition is not currently present, but is indicated in DTC history, the cause may be intermittent. An
intermittent may also be the cause when there is a customer complaint, but the symptom cannot be duplicated.
Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of causing the condition before trying to locate an
intermittent condition.
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following
items:
• Loose, corroded, or painted terminal stud/fastener
• Wiring broken inside the insulation
• Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
• A terminal not seated all the way into the connector body
• Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps,
poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion in the wire
to terminal contact area, etc.
• Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The conductor
can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff sections of wire
in the suspect circuits.
• Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent open or
short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
• Wiring that comes in contact with hot or exhaust components
• Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order
to verify the customer concern.
• Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
• Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder
operation.
Testing for Terminal Fretting
Some intermittent conditions can be caused by wire terminal fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion is a build-up
of insulating, oxidized wear debris that can form when there is a small motion between electrical contacts. The
oxidized wear debris can pile up enough at the electrical contact spots that the electrical resistance across the
connection increases. Movement between the contacting surfaces as small as 10 to 100 microns can cause
fretting. To put this in perspective, a sheet of paper is about 100 microns thick, so fretting motion is small and
hard to see. Vibration and thermal expansion/contraction are the main sources that create fretting motion. Since
vehicles vibrate and can experience large temperature swings, they are a good source for fretting motion. Tin,
copper, nickel, and iron surfaces are all susceptible to fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion can be difficult to
see but it looks like small, dark smudges on the terminals contact surface.
To correct a fretting condition disconnect the suspect connector and add dielectric grease / lubricant (Nyogel
760G or equivalent, meeting GM specification 9986087) to both sides of the connector terminals. Then
reconnect the connector and wipe away any excess lubricant. This will correct the additional terminal contact
resistance due to the terminal fretting corrosion.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect
component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between
the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged
connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause
contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion,
causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always
use the EL-35616 kit when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining
the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the
female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses and relays in
a bussed electrical center. Use the EL-35616 kit to test for proper terminal contact. Failure to use the EL-35616
kit can result in improper diagnosis of the bussed electrical center.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Separate the connector halves.
2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green
build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance,
intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of
contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal/terminated lead, verify that the retention force is significantly different
between a known good terminal and the suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the
connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to
ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter into the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
• Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying voltage to
a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply circuits that may
also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors, fuses, and any
intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component. A test lamp or a DMM
may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit to carry sufficient current.
Operate the component to test the ability of the circuit to carry sufficient current. Refer to Circuit Testing
, and Power Distribution Schematics .
• Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple ground
circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need to be tested.
Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point (screw or stud). Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Operate the component to test the
ability of the circuit to carry sufficient current. Refer to Circuit Testing , and Ground Distribution
Schematics .
Temperature Sensitivity
• An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when the
component/connection is hot.
• Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type of
intermittent condition, where applicable.
• If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
• High ambient temperatures
• Underhood/engine generated heat
• Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
• Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
• If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
• Low ambient temperatures - In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
• The condition only occurs on a cold start.
• The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
• Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is temperature
related.
• If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the condition.
Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference or other types of electrical
noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
• A mis-routed harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary ignition
components, motors, generator etc. - These components may induce electrical noise on a circuit that could
interfere with normal circuit operation.
• Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven solenoid or
switch - These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will occur when the
malfunctioning component is operating.
• Installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way radios, amplifiers,
electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc. - These accessories may create
interference in other circuits while operating and the interference would disappear when the accessory is
not operating. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories .
• Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays may
contain a clamping diode.
• The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
• There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
• A new service control module is installed.
• A control module from another vehicle is installed.
• Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
NOTE: DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME
software/calibration files that are already present in the control module.
This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.
• Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming is
found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to Control
Module References for replacement, setup, and programming.

Circuit/System Description |
The inside rearview mirror uses 2 photocell sensors. One sensor is the rear light sensor, located on the face side
of the mirror, facing the rear of the vehicle. The rear light sensor is used to determine light conditions present at
the mirror face. The other sensor is the front light sensor, located on the backside of the mirror, facing the front
of the vehicle. The front light sensor is used to determine the exterior light conditions at the front of the vehicle.
With a low exterior light condition detected by the front light sensor and a high light condition from the rear
light sensor, the inside rearview mirror will automatically darken the face of the inside rearview mirror.
With the gear selector lever in the REVERSE position, backup lamp control voltage is supplied as an input to
the inside rearview mirror. The mirror monitors this input to disable the automatic day-night feature. This
allows the driver to see objects in the mirror clearly when backing up, regardless of the rear light sensor status.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
AUTOMATIC DAY-NIGHT MIRROR DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Inside Rearview Mirror with the Automatic Day-Night Feature System Operation
The inside rearview mirror uses 2 photocell sensors. One sensor is the headlight sensor, located on the face side
of the mirror. The headlight sensor is used to determine light conditions present at the mirror face. The other
sensor is the ambient light sensor, located on the rear of the mirror or windshield side. The ambient light sensor
is used to determine the exterior light conditions. With a low exterior light condition detected, and a high light
condition from behind of the car, at the headlight sensor, the inside rearview mirror will automatically darken
the face of the mirror.
In the daytime, the mirror is in a normal state because of the high exterior light condition that is indicated by the
ambient light sensor. With the gear selector lever in the REVERSE position, backup lamp supply voltage is
supplied as an input to the inside rearview mirror. The mirror monitors this input to disable the automatic day-
night feature. This allows the driver to see objects in the mirror clearly when backing up, even during the night.
OUTSIDE MIRROR DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Power Mirror System Components
The power mirror system consists of the following components:
• Outside rearview mirror switch
• Mirror selector switch
• Driver outside rearview mirror
• Passenger outside rearview mirror
Each of the outside rearview mirror contains two motors. The vertical motor operates the mirror in the up and
down directions, and the horizontal motor operates the mirror in the left and right directions.

Power Mirror System Controls |
The outside rearview mirror switch is a four position directional switch: Up, Down, Left and Right.
The mirror select switch is a three position switch: left, neutral/fold, and right.
Power Mirror System Operation
The outside rearview mirror switch receives battery voltage from the underhood fuse block The power mirror
switch also receives a constant ground.
The four positions of the direction switch have dual switch contacts. Each of the contacts are connected to
opposing sides of the appropriate power mirror motors through the selector switch. The selector switch
completes these circuits depending on the position of the selector switch, L or R.
If the selector switch is placed in the L position and the up switch is pressed, battery voltage will be supplied to
the left outside rearview mirror vertical motor through the left mirror motor vertical control circuit and ground
through the left mirror motor common control circuit. If the down switch is pressed, battery voltage will be
supplied to the left outside rearview mirror vertical motor through the left mirror motor common control circuit
and ground through the left mirror motor vertical control circuit.
The remainder of the mirror functions operate in the same manner as described above. Placing the power mirror
switch in opposing positions, left/right or up/down, will reverse the polarity to the mirror motor, reversing the
direction of movement.
Heated Mirrors (If Equipped)
The heated mirrors are controlled through the rear defog relay. Whenever the rear window defogger is turned on
battery voltage is supplied to the mirror heater elements through the left and right mirror heater element control
circuits.

System Disabled Information Stored
Circuit/System Description
The front view camera module permanently monitors the serial data bus for error messages. When a
malfunction is detected by the front view camera module, the system will be disabled and an error message will
be stored in the front view camera module disable history buffer which is used to store information about the
front camera features that are disabled.
Conditions for Running the DTC
• Ignition ON
• Front view camera enabled
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The front view camera module detects a malfunction.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• The front view camera module is disabled.
• The front view camera module disable history buffer stores information why the system was disabled.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present.
Diagnostic Aids
The front view camera module disable history buffers are used to store information about the front view camera
module features that are disabled. The Buffers will only update if the disable condition changes.
Example: If the data received from the steering wheel angle sensor is Invalid across many ignition cycles then it
will only appear in 1 history buffer and not all history buffers. If this condition is the current reason why the
front view camera module is disabled then it will be set in front view camera module disable history buffer 1. If
a new reason occurs, such as vehicle speed validity is invalid, then the invalid steering wheel angle sensor fault
will shift into disable history buffer 2 and vehicle speed validity invalid will be in disable history buffer 1. Since
there are only 4 disable history buffers, the invalid steering wheel angle sensor will age out if 4 other disable
reasons occur since the last invalid steering wheel angle sensor event occurred. Front view camera module
disable history buffer 1 contains the current reason that one of the front view camera module features is
disabled.
The front view camera module disable history buffers can display the following values:
• Lane Departure Warning Indicator Malfunction
• Lane Departure Warning Switch Malfunction
• Camera Obstructed
• Accelerator Pedal Position Out of Range
• Driven Wheel Speed Signal Invalid
• Non-Driven Wheel Speed Signal Invalid
• Brake Pedal Moderate Travel Signal Invalid
• Brake Pedal Initial Travel Position Achieved
• Lost Communication with Steering Wheel Angle Sensor Module
• Invalid Data Received From Steering Wheel Angle Sensor Module
• Forward Collision Alert Switch Malfunction
• Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) Sensor Performance

A poor video image can be caused by ice, snow, and mud buildup on the lens of the rearview camera. Also,
extreme lighting conditions can affect performance, such as operating in the dark or with bright sunlight shining
on the camera. Extreme high or low temperatures can also affect the image quality. An open in the shield of the
video signal circuit can also cause a distorted screen.
Terminal fretting or incorrectly seated connectors can cause a poor image displayed condition. Check the circuit
terminals for fretting or incorrectly seated connector. If the condition is intermittent or cannot be duplicated,
disconnect the connectors and add Nyogel lubricant 760G. This procedure will correct the high resistance
condition due to terminal fretting corrosion.

• Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
• Refer to Diagnostic Procedure Instructions to provide an overview of each diagnostic category.
Circuit/System Description
The ultrasonic parking assist system is designed to identify and notify the driver of an object in the vehicle's
path when moving reverse at speeds of less than 8 km/h (5 MPH). The distance and location of the object is
determined by four object sensors, located in the rear bumper. The parking assist system will notify the driver
using an audible signal through the radio.
Diagnostic Fault Information | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Circuit/System Description |
The parking assist system is enabled and disabled through the parking assist switch. When enabled, the parking
assist indicator will illuminate.
The switch and indicator are connected to the front and rear parking assist control module. The front and rear
parking assist control module supplies a reference voltage to the parking assist switch. When the switch is
pressed, the signal circuit is grounded. The front and rear parking assist control module can control the park
assist indicator by grounding the control circuit to illuminate the LED which indicates that the system is
enabled.
The front and rear parking assist control module supplies a reference voltage and a low reference to the object
sensors. The sensors will return a signal based on the reflections from objects within range of the sensors.
When an object is detected, the front and rear parking assist control module will send serial data to the radio to
provide an audible alert.
Diagnostic Aids
The following is a brief description of potential causes for a disable condition which may aid in diagnosis:
• Manual Disable - The parking assist system has been disabled through the parking assist switch or audio
system personalization menu.
• Hitch/Object Attached - The front and rear parking assist control module is detecting an object that is
attached to the vehicle. Common items such as a hitch receiver, trailer, or a bicycle rack may cause this
concern. Additionally, damage to the rear of the vehicle or a misaligned sensor may cause this concern. If
the vehicle is damaged in a manner that causes the sensor to detect the bumper itself, the front and rear
parking assist control module will interpret this as an attached object and disable the system. Carefully
inspect the bumper, bumper mounting surface, and sensor retainers before continuing with normal
diagnosis. After the detected cause has been addressed the vehicle must be driven at speed greater than 40
km/h (25 mph).
• Reverse Overspeed - The vehicle is travelling too fast in reverse at speeds of greater than 8 km/h (5 mph).
• Inhibit - The front and rear parking assist control module has lost or received invalid GMLAN signal(s).
• Sensor Disturbance - An outside interference is causing sensor movement. Such interference may be
caused a heavy pounding, like that of a nearby jackhammer, or large changes in pressure, such as a large
truck air brakes.
• Sensor Ring Time - If the sensor fails its own diagnostic initialization the front and rear parking assist
control module will set this error. After the detected cause has been addressed the vehicle must be driven
at speed greater than 40 km/h (25 mph). The following is a list of reasons this cause may have set:
• One or more of the sensors may be blocked by snow, mud, ice, or other debris. This might happen
after going through a car wash in cold weather.
• Silicone insulator surrounding sensor maybe missing, cut, or twisted.
• Improperly installed sensor, sensor maybe be crooked due to a tight wire harness.
• One or more of the sensors may be scratched or the paint maybe chipped.
• Excessive paint thickness on a sensor may cause an excessive sensor ring time. When replacing or
refinishing a sensor, do not apply an excessive amount of paint or clear coat.

Circuit/System Description |
The parallel parking assist is activated/deactivated by pressing the parking assist switch at speeds below 30
km/h (18 mph). The activated parallel parking assist then searches for an appropriate parking spot. If a spot is
detected, feedback is given to the driver through the indicator in the driver information center. The driver
accepts the decision by stopping the vehicle. The system calculates the optimal path into the parking lot and will
then guide the vehicle into the chosen spot by taking over the steering control from the driver. The driver only
needs to shift gears, brake and accelerate following the instructions given on the driver information center.
The system consists of the 8 parking assist sensors from the normal parking assist located in the front and rear
bumper, and two additional parallel parking assist sensors on the side of the vehicle. The additional parallel
parking assist sensors are used to measure the parking lot size. The parallel parking assist system uses the 8
parking assist sensors to identify objects in the vehicle's path when moving into the parking lot.
Diagnostic Aids
The following is a brief description of potential causes which may aid in diagnosis:
• Possible disengagement reasons:
• Steering input by driver. The driver must not interfere with the steering function during a parking
maneuver.
• Vehicle speed. The vehicle is travelling at speeds of greater than 10 km/h (6 MPH) while
performing a parking maneuver.
• Electronic stability control or anti-lock brakes are activated.
• Failure within the system - check for DTCs.
• Manual Disable - The parking assist system has been disabled through the parking assist switch or audio
system personalization menu.
• Hitch/Object Attached - The parking assist control module is detecting an object that is attached to the
vehicle. Common items such as a hitch receiver, trailer, or a bicycle rack may cause this concern.
Additionally, damage to the rear of the vehicle or a misaligned sensor may cause this concern. If the
vehicle is damaged in a manner that causes the sensor to detect the bumper itself, the parking assist
control module will interpret this as an attached object and disable the system. Carefully inspect the
bumper, bumper mounting surface, and sensor retainers before continuing with normal diagnosis. After
the detected cause has been addressed the vehicle must be driven at speed greater than 40 km/h (25
MPH).
• Sensor Disturbance - An outside interference is causing sensor movement. Such interference may be
caused a heavy pounding, like that of a nearby jackhammer, or large changes in pressure, such as a large
truck's air brakes.
• Sensor Ring Time - If the sensor fails its own diagnostic initialization the parking assist control module
will set this error. After the detected cause has been addressed the vehicle must be driven at speed greater
than 40 km/h (25 MPH). The following is a list of reasons this cause may have set:
• One or more of the sensors may be blocked by snow, mud, ice, or other debris. This might happen
after going through a car wash in cold weather.
• Silicone insulator surrounding sensor maybe missing, cut, or twisted.
• Improperly installed sensor, sensor maybe be crooked due to a tight wire harness.
• One or more of the sensors may be scratched or the paint maybe chipped.
• Excessive paint thickness on a sensor may cause an excessive sensor ring time. When replacing or
refinishing a sensor, do not apply an excessive amount of paint or clear coat.

REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
Diagnostic Instructions
• Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
• Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
• Refer to Diagnostic Procedure Instructions to provide an overview of each diagnostic category.
Diagnostic Fault Information | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Circuit/System Description |
The side object sensor modules are located on each side of the vehicle behind the rear fascia and are not directly
visible from outside the vehicle. The sensors use radar to determine the presence of objects nearby. When an
object is detected in the rear cross traffic zone, the module will send out a signal through serial data
communication to turn on the visual icons on the rear vision camera screen and also audio chime notification for
the appropriate side. Each sensor is supplied B+ and ground. The right sensor receives an additional ground.
Both sensors communicate independently on the serial data line. The serial data enters the left sensor in a pass-
thru configuration, that connects to the right sensor. The scan tool is able to individually communicate with each
sensor.
Diagnostic Aids
• The rear cross traffic alert system uses the same side blind zone sensors so a malfunction may affect
either or both systems.
• The conditions for disabling the rear cross traffic alert system are captured by DTCs. The drivers
information center will display Service Side Detection System if one of the sensors has failed.
• The rear cross traffic system can be disabled if any off the following occur:
• The driver has selected the Off mode through vehicle personalization menus. The selected mode is
retained over ignition cycles. A driver information center message stating that the Rear Cross
Traffic System Alert Off shall be displayed.
• There is a loss of serial data communication with a sensor or between modules.
• A blockage condition exists (i.e. mud/snow buildup in front of the sensor). A driver information
message stating that the side detection system is temporarily unavailable will be displayed. The rear
cross traffic system transitions back to the normal operating state when the blockage is removed.
Bumper sticks, fascia damage, labels, and heavy rain storms may also cause this condition. The
blockage determination is performed with the vehicle in a drive gear.
• The rear cross traffic alert system will read the GPS latitude and longitude on the serial data bus
and calculate if the vehicle is within a Radio Astronomy zone. These zones are located in Europe
and Japan and require the sensors to be turned off. The "Side Detection System Unavailable"
message will be displayed to the driver when this occurs.
• Because the sensors are identical, they may be swapped from one side of the vehicle to the other in an
attempt to isolate a concern. Sensors should NOT be swapped from one vehicle to another.
• The rear cross traffic alert system is designed to ignore stationary objects; however, the system may
occasionally detect pedestrians, shopping carts, or other objects. This is normal system operation and
does not require service.
• The rear cross traffic alert system may indicate an object if a trailer is attached to the vehicle, or a bicycle
or object is extending out to either side of the vehicle. The system may also temporarily disable the
system and display the "Side Detection System Unavailable" message.

Circuit/System Description |
When the transmission is placed into REVERSE, a serial message is sent to the K74 Human Machine Interface
Control Module indicating that camera operation is requested. Ignition voltage and ground are supplied to the
rearview camera. The rearview camera sends video information to the radio through a video signal + and a
video signal - circuit. A grounded shielding also wraps the video signal circuits to reduce electronic interference
which may degrade the video signal and cause a distorted or otherwise degraded image.
Diagnostic Aids
A poor video image can be caused by ice, snow, and mud buildup on the lens of the rearview camera. Also,
extreme lighting conditions can affect performance, such as operating in the dark or with bright sunlight shining
on the camera. Extreme high or low temperatures can also affect the image quality. An open in the shield of the
video signal circuit can also cause a distorted screen.
Terminal fretting or incorrectly seated connectors can cause a poor image displayed condition. Check the circuit
terminals for fretting or incorrectly seated connector. If the condition is intermittent or cannot be duplicated,
disconnect the connectors and add Nyogel lubricant 760G. This procedure will correct the high resistance
condition due to terminal fretting corrosion.

SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
Diagnostic Instructions
• Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
• Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
• Refer to Diagnostic Procedure Instructions to provide an overview of each diagnostic category.
Diagnostic Fault Information | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Circuit/System Description |
The side blind zone alert system detects and reports objects on either side of the vehicle, within a specified blind
spot zone. The system alerts with a visual indicator placed on each side rear view mirror, to the presence of
objects that may not be visible in the inside rearview mirror and outside rearview mirrors. Although this system
is intended to help drivers avoid lane change crashes, it does not replace driver vision and therefore should be
considered a lane change aid. Even with the side blind zone system, the driver must check carefully for objects
outside of the reporting zone (e.g., a fast approaching vehicle) before changing lanes. In the event that the
system senses a malfunction through its diagnostic routines, the system will be disabled and the driver will be
visually notified.
When the system detects a vehicle in the side blind zone while driving forward, independent if passing a vehicle
or being passed, an amber warning symbol will light up in the appropriate outside mirror. This indicates that it
may be unsafe to change lanes. If the driver then activates the turn signal, the amber warning symbol starts
flashing as an extra warning not to change lanes.
Side blind zone alert is active when the vehicle is out of park or the parking brake is off on manual transmission
vehicles and from speeds of 10 km/h (6.2 MPH) up to 140 km/h (87 MPH). Driving faster deactivates the
system, indicated by dimly lighting the warning symbols in the mirrors. Driving under this speed again will turn
off the warning symbols. If then a vehicle is detected in the blind zone, the warning symbols will turn on
normally on the appropriate side. When the vehicle is started, both outside mirror displays will briefly come on
to indicate that the system is operating.
Diagnostic Aids
• The conditions for disabling the side blind zone alert system are captured by DTCs. The drivers
information center will display Service Side Detection System if one of the sensors has failed.
• The side blind zone system can be disabled if any off the following occur:
• The driver has selected the Off mode through vehicle personalization menus. The selected mode is
retained over ignition cycles. A driver information center message stating that the side blind zone
system is off shall be displayed and the outside mirror indicators will be OFF.
• There is a loss of serial data communication with a sensor or between modules.
• A blockage condition exists (i.e. mud/snow buildup in front of the sensor). A driver information
message stating that the side detection system is temporarily unavailable will be displayed. The rear
cross traffic system transitions back to the normal operating state when the blockage is removed.
Bumper sticks, fascia damage, labels, and heavy rain storms may also cause this condition. The
blockage determination is performed with the vehicle in a drive gear.
• The side blind zone alert system will read the GPS latitude and longitude on the serial data bus and
calculate if the vehicle is within a Radio Astronomy zone. These zones are located in Europe and
Japan and require the sensors to be turned off. The "Side Detection System Unavailable" message
will be displayed to the driver when this occurs.
• Because the sensors are identical, they may be swapped from one side of the vehicle to the other in an
attempt to isolate a concern. Sensors should NOT be swapped from one vehicle to another.
• The side blind zone system is designed to ignore stationary objects; however, the system may
occasionally detect guard rails, signs, trees, shrubs, or other stationary objects as an object in the blind
zone. This is normal system operation and does not require service.
• The side blind zone system may indicate an object in the blind zone if a trailer is attached to the vehicle,
or a bicycle or object is extending out to either side of the vehicle. The system may also temporarily
disable the system and display the "Side Detection System Unavailable" message.

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
Diagnostic Instructions
• Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
• Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
• Refer to Diagnostic Procedure Instructions to provide an overview of each diagnostic category.
Diagnostic Fault Information | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Circuit/System Description |
The lane departure warning system is enabled and disabled through the lane departure switch. When enabled,
the lane departure warning indicator will illuminate. The switch and indicator are connected to the Frontview
Camera Module. The Frontview Camera module supplies a reference voltage to the lane departure switch.
When the switch is pressed, the signal circuit is grounded. When enabled, the Frontview Camera Module will
illuminate the indicator located in the switch when lane departure warning system is enabled.
When the system is operating and can detect the lane markings, the Frontview Camera Module will request via
serial data communications that the instrument cluster illuminates the green lane departure ready-to-assist
indicator. If the Frontview Camera Module detects that the vehicle unintentionally crosses a lane marking
without the turn signal being used, the module will request the vehicle direction display to flash the amber lane
departure warning indicator. An audible warning will also sound three times when the amber lane departure
warning indicator in the vehicle direction display is flashing.
Diagnostic Aids
Certain factors will affect the operation of the lane departure warning system. When the system is operating
properly, the green lane departure warning indicator will illuminate on the instrument cluster. This indicates that
all of the required operating conditions to permit lane departure warning have been met. The green lane
departure warning indicator will not appear when the system is having difficulty seeing the lines on the road or
if the view of the front view camera is blocked with mud, dirt, snow, ice, or slush, if the windshield is damaged,
or when weather limits visibility, such as while driving in fog, rain, or snow conditions. This is normal
operation, the vehicle does not need service. Additionally, lane departure warnings may occasionally occur in a
properly operating vehicle due to tar marks, shadows, cracks in the road, or other road imperfections. This is
normal system operation and the vehicle does not require service. The driver information center may also
display Lane Departure System Unavailable due to the temporary conditions listed above.
The driver information center may also display LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM UNAVAILABLE
when the front camera module and bracket assembly is not properly installed. It may be helpful to verify the
correct installation of the front camera and bracket assembly. Calibrate the front camera module after repair.
Refer to Front View Camera Module Learn
Additionally, the Front View Camera Disable History can give useful hints about what affected the operation of
the lane departure warning system. For the Front View Camera Disable History, refer to DTC B1011.

FRONT VIEW CAMERA MODULE LEARN
Calibration
For North American SPS users, Calibration MAY NOT start automatically and will need to be initiated with
GDS2. For European SPS users, Calibration MAY start automatically and will not need to be initiated with
GDS2.
The calibration process for the front view camera system is necessary when a front view camera module is
replaced by a new one. This process is required when only replacing the windshield and the front view camera
module has been mounted again properly. This process shall be completed within 3 - 5 minutes when the ideal
driving conditions are met. If conditions are not met correct, the front view camera module shall continuously
run the service point calibration until successfully completed. This process shall work across ignition cycles and
shall not be required to be re-initialized at start up. If the Lane Departure Warning Switch is pressed during
calibration, the indictor will flash momentarily and then stay out - this is normal operation.
To calibrate the front camera, operate the vehicle in the following conditions until the calibration is complete:
• Clean windshield.
• Avoid lane changes.
• Maintain vehicle speeds between 56 - 90 km/h (35 - 56 MPH).
• Ensure the road contains visible references (well defined lane markings, curbs, etc.).
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Place the transmission in Park (if applicable)
3. Install scan tool
4. Navigate to the module diagnostics menu
5. Select Frontview Camera Module
6. Select Configuration/Reset Functions menu Item
7. Select the Frontview Camera Learn procedure and follow the directions displayed on the screen.
8. Drive the vehicle to complete calibration.
Once the procedure is complete, the amber indicator will turn off . Shortly after the green ready to assist
light should turn on as long as all conditions are met for normal operation. The system is then ready to assist.
If Slow to Calibrate
One or more of the following conditions may increase the length of time required to complete the self-
calibration procedure:
• Heavy traffic
• Stop and go traffic
• Mountain roads
• Curves in roadway
• Poor contrast lane markings
• Botts' Dots type lane markings
• Operating the vehicle speed is greater than 90 km/h (56 MPH)
• Driving through snow or fog, or driving directly into the sun

Refer to Control Module References for control module replacement, programming and setup
RADAR SENSOR MODULE - LONG RANGE LEARN
NOTE: "Adaptive Cruise Temporarily Unavailable" service message may be displayed if
this calibration procedure has to be performed. The radar may have become
misaligned.
After replacing and programming the Long Range Radar Sensor Module, it is necessary to perform a calibration
procedure to align the radar. This is indicated to the technician by DTC B101E 4B. Calibration is performed
while driving the vehicle with the scantool connected. Calibration is initialized using a scantool and the scantool
must remain connected until calibration is complete. During this time the "Service Driver Assist" service
message will be displayed. Once the procedure is complete, the service message will turn off and normal
operation will resume.
Calibration is not required if the existing module was reprogrammed only. Calibration needs to be conducted if
the module was replaced or removed and re-secured.
If calibration is not successful, it could be due to improper driving environment, module and bracket assembly
bent out of position or incorrect module mounting. A typical driving environment is usually sufficient to
calibrate the module within 10 - 30 minutes. The module needs to be mounting properly in the bracket and
aimed straight ahead within +/- 3 degrees.
Calibration Procedure
1. Verify no other DTCs except for B101E 4B Electronic Control Unit Software are present.
• If other DTCs are present
Refer to service information and repair as necessary.
2. Prior to driving the vehicle make sure the surface in front of the radar (vehicle emblem) is clean. Also
verify the mounting area is not damaged and allows the module to face the intended direction.
3. Prepare scantool to be mobile for Long Range Radar Calibration driving phase. The scantool needs to
stay connected during the driving phase of the calibration.
4. Engine running.
5. Initiate calibration using Long Range Radar Sensor Module Learn in the scantool. The driver information
display will display "Service Driver Assist" message during calibration.
NOTE: Do not back out of screen or press any other buttons until the calibration
is complete.
6. Drive the vehicle within the following conditions for 10 - 30 minutes or until calibration is complete. The
"Service Driver Assist" message will turn off when calibration is complete.
• Drive at speeds greater than 56 kph (35 mph)
• Minimize tight curves
• Avoid extreme acceleration or deceleration
• Follow one or multiple vehicles. (typical vehicle traffic is sufficient, but vehicles 30 - 50 m (100 -
165 ft) away are most effective at decreasing the calibration time)
• Drive in an environment that has stationary objects on the side of the road (street signs, guard rails,
mail boxes, fences, etc)
7. Verify proper calibration by observing that the "Service Driver Assist" message turns off within 10 - 30
minutes of normal driving.
• If "Service Driver Assist" message fails to turn off
1. Verify correct operating conditions were met
• If incorrect driving environment, refer to If Slow to Calibrate and repeat calibration
procedure following recommended operating conditions.
• If correct driving environment
2. Verify DTC B390C 66 Incorrect Mounting is not set
• If B390C 66 is set
Refer to DTC B390C.
• If B390C 66 is not set
• If "Service Driver Assist" message turns off
8. Drive at speeds greater than 40 kph (25 mph) and verify engagement of Adaptive Cruise Control (cruise
control icon will change from white to green)
• If Adaptive Cruise Control will not engage
Check vehicle for DTCs and correct as required.
9. All OK.
If Slow to Calibrate
The ideal calibration condition is driving on a freeway or two lane road with medium traffic. One or more of the
following conditions may increase the length of time required to complete the self-calibration procedure:
• Heavy traffic - following too close behind vehicles for long periods (more than 40 min)
• Stop and go or very slow traffic
• Mountain roads
• Constant sharp curves in roadway
• No traffic - if no traffic is available, may need to add vehicle ahead to support calibration
• Limited or no stationary structures on side of the road - need structures such as street signs, guard rails,
mail boxes, parked cars, etc.
• Driving in tunnels
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The ultrasonic parking assist system is designed to identify and notify the driver of an object in the vehicles
path when reversing at speeds of less than 8 km/h (5 MPH). The distance and location of the object is
determined by 4 object sensors located in the rear bumper. The parking assist system will notify the driver using
an audible beep signal through the radio rear speakers.
The parking assist system is made up of the following components:
• Parking assist control module
• Rear object alarm sensors
The parking assist control module provides an 8 V reference and a low reference to the four object alarm
sensors. The parking assist control module receives individual signals from each of the four sensors and
determines the location and distance of an object based on these inputs. When an object is detected, the parking
assist control module will send a data message via CAN-Bus to the radio requesting an audible alert.
The object alarm sensors are located in the rear bumper of the vehicle. The sensors are used to determine the
distance between an object and the bumper. Each sensor emits an ultrasonic frequency which is reflected off any
object located behind the vehicle. These reflections are received by the sensors. The time difference between the
emission of the frequency and when the reflection is received is known as sensor echo time, it is used to
determine the distance to the object. The sensors report this information to the parking assist control module.
Rear Parking Assist Operation
When the vehicle is first placed into reverse there will be one audible beep through the rear speakers, to indicate
that the system is working. If rear speakers are inoperable no audible signals will occur.
When backing up at speed of less than 8 km/h (5 MPH), the system is constantly monitoring for object of
interest located behind the vehicle. The rear parking assist system can detect objects greater than 7.6 cm (3 in)
wide and 25.4 cm (10 in) tall. The system cannot detect objects below the bumper, underneath the vehicle. If an
object is detected within 2.5 m (8 ft) there will be a audible beep notification out of both rear speakers based
upon the distance to the object. As the vehicle gets closer to an object, the time between the beeps become
shorter.
If the vehicle stops in a range zone the beeping will stop after 5 s. When the distance between the object and the
vehicle changes, beeping will start again.
If the rear parking assist system detects a malfunction the single audible beep will not chime when put into
reverse along with a DTC being stored. The object alarm module will send a serial data message to the
instrument panel cluster to display the SERVICE PARK ASSIST message on the driver information center.
Parking Assist System Driver Information Center Messages
The driver information center displays SERVICE PARK ASSIST when the parking assist control module
detects a malfunction in the rear parking assist system and the system is disabled. The driver information center
also displays SERVICE PARK ASSIST when a loss of communication occurs with the parking assist control
module.
The PARK ASSIST OFF message is displayed in the driver information center when the parking assist system
is disabled due to conditions that disable or inhibit the system. The parking assist control module requests the
driver information center display PARK ASSIST OFF when it detects that one of the following conditions:
• The rear parking assist system is manually disabled by the vehicle operator through the audio system
personalization menu.
• The park brake is applied or not fully released.
• An object is attached to the rear of the vehicle, such as a trailer, bicycle rack, trailer hitch receiver, or tow
bar. Also, an object extending beyond a lowered endgate will disable the system.
• The parking assist sensors are covered by snow, mud, dirt or ice.
• The vehicle bumper is damaged.
• Excessive paint thickness on a replacement parking assist sensor.
• The parking assist sensors are disrupted by vibrations, like those caused by a large nearby vehicle or from
heavy equipment such as a jackhammer.
The parking assist system is designed to identify and notify the driver of an object in the vehicle path when
moving forward or reversing at speeds of less than 8 km/h (5 MPH). The distance and location of the object is
determined by 8 object sensors: 4 located in the rear bumper and 4 located in the front bumper. The parking
assist system will notify the driver using an audible beep signal through the radio.
The parking assist system is made up of the following components:
• Advanced parking assist control module
• Front object alarm sensors
• Rear object alarm sensors
• Parking assist switch
• Parking assist switch indicator
The advanced parking assist control module provides a reference voltage and a low reference to the 8 object
alarm sensors. The advanced parking assist control module receives individual signals from each of the 8
sensors and determines the location and distance of an object based on these inputs. When an object is detected,
the advanced parking assist control module will send a data message via CAN-Bus to the radio requesting an
audible alert.
The object alarm sensors are located in the front and rear bumpers of the vehicle. The sensors are used to
determine the distance between an object and the bumper. Each sensor emits an ultrasonic frequency which is
reflected off any object located in front of or behind the vehicle. These reflections are received by the sensors.
The time difference between the emission of the frequency and when the reflection is received is known as
sensor echo time, it is used to determine the distance to the object. The sensors report this information to the
advanced parking assist control module.
The parking assist can be activated and deactivated by pressing the parking assist switch. By engaging the
reverse gear the parking assist can also be activated. By subsequently pressing the parking assist switch the
parking assist can be disabled again.
The indicator in the parking assist switch shows the status of the parking assist. If the lamp is ON, the parking
assist is activated.
Parking Assist Operation
When an object is within the measuring range of the sensor, the ultrasonic pulse is reflected and is received by
the sending or a neighboring sensor. The sensor converts this signal into a voltage signal and sends this signal to
the parking assist control module. The advanced parking assist control module evaluates the received sensor
signals. As soon as an object is within the measuring range, the advanced parking assist control module sends a
message via CAN-Bus to the radio in order to give out the acoustic distance signal.
The parking assist system can detect objects greater than 7.6 cm (3 in) wide and 25.4 cm (10 in) tall. The system
cannot detect objects below the bumper, underneath the vehicle. If an object is detected, one of the following
will occur:
• The measuring range of the front object alarm sensors is between 30 - 120 cm (11.8 - 47.2 in). From a
distance of 120 cm (47.2 in), the acoustic signal is active. The frequency of the beep sound increases with
decreasing distance. From a distance less than 30 cm (11.8 in), the sound becomes continuous.
• The measuring range of the rear object alarm sensors is between 30 - 250 cm (11.8 - 98.4 in). From a
distance of 250 cm (98.4 in), the acoustic signal is active. The frequency of the beep sound increases with
decreasing distance. From a distance less than 30 cm (11.8 in), the sound becomes continuous.
The parking assist can be activated and deactivated by pressing the parking assist switch. When REVERSE gear
is selected, park assist automatically is engaged for both front and rear sensors. When the vehicle is put into
DRIVE from REVERSE the front assist sensors will be active up to speeds of 8 km/h (5 MPH) to assist with
parking maneuvers. Once the vehicle is above 8 km/h (5 MPH) the front sensors are disabled and will not be re-
enabled until either REVERSE gear is selected or the parking assist switch is pressed to activate the system.
Once the parking assist switch is pressed during a key cycle the front sensors become active at speeds under 8
km/h (5 MPH). If the park assist switch is pressed again in the same key cycle the message "Park Assist Off"
will be displayed in the driver information center if the vehicle speed is under 8 km/h (5 MPH) and front
sensors detect an object within 120 cm (47.2 in). The LED indicator on the parking assist switch provides the
ON/OFF state of the system. If the indicator is ON, the system is active and ready to assist.
The advanced parking assist control module carries out a self test and monitors the sensors for electrical and
mechanical faults. Monitored is the power supply of each sensor and the sensor signals, which need to alter
when the vehicle moves. If this is not the case, the sensor is acoustically blocked or faulty. Mud, ice and snow
may cause obstruction of the function of the sensors. Besides that the advanced parking assist control module
checks whether the correct type of sensor is installed. If any of these tests fails, a DTC with corresponding
symptom is set, the parking assist is deactivated and the parking assist indicator in the instrument panel cluster
is activated.
Parking Assist System Driver Information Center Messages
The driver information center displays SERVICE PARK ASSIST when the advanced parking assist control
module detects a malfunction in the parking assist system and the system is disabled. The driver information
center also displays SERVICE PARK ASSIST when a loss of communication occurs with the advanced parking
assist control module.
The PARK ASSIST OFF message is displayed in the driver information center when the parking assist system
is disabled due to conditions that disable or inhibit the system. The advanced parking assist control module
requests the driver information center display PARK ASSIST OFF when it detects that one of the following
conditions:
• The parking assist system is manually disabled using the parking assist switch.
• An object is attached to the rear of the vehicle, such as a trailer, bicycle rack, trailer hitch receiver, or tow
bar. Also, an object extending beyond a lowered tailgate will disable the system.
• The parking assist sensors are covered by snow, mud, dirt, slush, or ice.
• The vehicle bumper is damaged.
• Excessive paint thickness on a replacement parking assist sensor.
• The parking assist sensors are disrupted by vibrations, like those caused by a large nearby vehicle or from
heavy equipment such as a jackhammer.
PARKING ASSIST DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (WITH PARALLEL PARKING OR
AUTOMATIC PARKING ASSIST)
NOTE: The parallel parking assist system can steer the vehicle automatically. Be aware
that, in some unlikely situations, the vehicle steering wheel and wheels/tires
may move without warning. Please be especially aware of situations when
vehicle front tires are lifted above the ground on a vehicle hoist as the wheels
could move without warning. Please exercise special care if any work is
performed with the vehicle running and in gear while elevated on a hoist.
In addition to the 8 ultrasonic sensors used for front and rear park assist, the parallel parking assist system uses,
additional sensors located on the front fascia and/or two additional sensors located on the rear fascia. These
sensors face toward the side of the vehicle and are used to aid the driver in positioning the vehicle in a parallel
parking maneuver.
NOTE: Any malfunction in the Parking Assist system may disable parallel parking.
Parallel parking will NOT operate if the Parking Assist system is disabled.
Parallel Parking Assist Components
The parking assist system is made up of the following components:
• Parking assist control module
• Front parking assist sensors
• Rear parking assist sensors
• Parking assist side sensors
• Parallel Parking assist switch
• Parking assist switch indicator (if equipped)
The parking assist control module provides a reference voltage and a low reference to the parking assist sensors.
The parking assist control module receives individual signals from each of the sensors and determines the
location and distance of an object based on these inputs. When an object is detected, the parking assist control
module will send a serial data message to the radio requesting an audible alert or to the memory seat module for
a haptic alert (if equipped). Refer to the owner's manual for more information on Vehicle Personalization.
The parking assist sensors are located in the bumpers of the vehicle. The sensors are used to determine the
distance between an object and the bumper. Each sensor emits an ultrasonic frequency which is reflected off any
object located in front of or behind the vehicle. These reflections are received by the sensors. The time
difference between the emission of the frequency and when the reflection is received is known as sensor ring
time, it is used to determine the distance to the object. The sensors report this information to the parking assist
control module. The parking assist sensors detect object to approximately 2.5 m (8 ft). The parking assist side
sensors (located on the side of the vehicle) detect objects to approximately 4.5 m (15 ft).
The parking assist can be enabled and disabled by pressing the parking assist switch. By engaging the reverse
gear the parking assist can be activated. By pressing the parking assist switch the parking assist can be disabled
again.
The indicator in the parking assist switch shows the status of the parking assist. If the indicator is ON, the
parking assist is enabled.
The parallel parking assist can be activated and deactivated by pressing the parallel parking assist switch.
Parking Assist Operation
For traditional parking assist operation, refer to Parking Assist description and operation
Parallel Parking Assist Operation
The parallel parking assist system aids the driver when attempting a parallel parking maneuver. The parking
assist control module uses the parallel parking assist sensors located in the front fascia, along with the front and
rear parking assist sensors, to guide the driver into a parking space.
The parallel parking assist switch is used to initiate the parallel parking assist system when traveling at speeds
below approximately 30 km/h (18 mph) (refer to owners manual for exact speed). While driving along a row of
vehicles in which the driver wishes to parallel park, the parallel parking assist switch is pressed. This will
enable the parallel parking assist system and the parking assist control module will begin seeking potential
parking spots using the parallel parking assist sensor.
When a parking spot of suitable size is found, the parking assist control module will display a stop message on
the driver information center. The driver accepts the decision by stopping the vehicle. The system calculates the
optimal path into the parking lot and will then guide the vehicle into the chosen spot by taking over the steering
control from the driver. The driver only needs to shift gears, brake and accelerate following the instructions
given on the driver information center. Once in the spot, the parking assist control module uses the front and
rear park assist sensors to center the vehicle in the parking spot.
If the parallel parking assist system is unable to complete a parallel parking maneuver, a message indicating that
the maneuver has been aborted will be displayed on the driver information center.
Parking Assist System Driver Information Center Messages
The driver information center displays SERVICE PARK ASSIST when the parking assist control module
detects a malfunction in the parking assist system and the system is disabled. The driver information center also
displays SERVICE PARK ASSIST when a loss of communication occurs with the parking assist control
module.
The PARK ASSIST OFF message is displayed in the driver information center when the parking assist system
is disabled due to conditions that disable or inhibit the system. The parking assist control module requests the
driver information center display PARK ASSIST OFF when it detects that one of the following conditions:
• The parking assist system is manually disabled using the park assist switch.
• An object is attached to the vehicle which is interfering with the park assist system field of view. Example
items are a trailer, bicycle rack, trailer hitch receiver, tow bar, aftermarket front license plate frame, or a
bent front license plate.
• The parking assist sensors are covered by snow, mud, dirt or ice.
• The vehicle bumper is damaged.
• Excessive paint thickness on a replacement parking assist sensor.
• The parking assist sensors are disrupted by vibrations, like those caused by a large nearby vehicle or from
heavy equipment such as a jackhammer.
The lane departure warning system is a convenience feature of the front view camera that issues a warning
when the system detects that the vehicle has unintentionally crossed a lane marking. The front view camera is
located behind the windshield, looking out at the road ahead and detecting any lane markings. When the vehicle
unintentionally leaves a detected lane, a visual and audible alert is given to the driver.
The lane departure warning system is made up of the following components:
• Front view camera module
• Lane departure warning switch
• Instrument cluster/Vehicle Direction Display
• Radio
The camera detects visual queues such as lane markings. When it is determined that the vehicle has
unintentionally moved outside of the lane, a visual and audible warning is given to the driver. The front view
camera module receives an input from the lane departure warning switch and controls the lane departure
warning switch indicator output. The front view camera module also communicates via serial data with the
instrument cluster and radio to request visual and audible alerts.
The lane departure warning switch provides an input to the front view camera module to turn the lane departure
warning system ON and OFF. The front view camera module provides a signal voltage to the normally open
momentary switch. When the switch is pressed, the signal circuit is pulled to ground, indicating to the front
view camera module that the system has been requested to turn ON or OFF. The lane departure warning switch
also contains the lane departure warning switch indicator, which is controlled by the front view camera module
to indicate the ON and OFF status of the lane departure warning system. When the system has been enabled by
the lane departure warning switch, the front view camera module applies ground to the switch indicator and
illuminates the LED. The location of the lane departure warning switch can vary with different vehicles. For the
exact location please refer to the user's manual.
The vehicle direction display contains green and amber lane departure warning indicators. These indicate to the
driver the current status of the lane departure warning system and are controlled via serial data by the front view
camera module. When the vehicle speed is above 56 km/h (35 MPH) and the system has detected the required
lane markings and is ready to assist, the green indicator will be illuminated on the vehicle direction display. If
the vehicle has unintentionally left the lane, the amber indicator will flash.
The radio controls the audible alert for the lane departure warning. If the vehicle has unintentionally left the
lane, the radio will command three beeps as an audible alert to the driver.
Lane Departure Warning Operation
System operation can be describe by the following modes:
• Off State: The system has been turned off by the driver, using the lane departure warning switch. The lane
departure warning indicator will not be illuminated.
• Not Ready To Assist: The system is enabled and the lane departure warning indicator is illuminated, but
not ready to assist when any of the following conditions is true:
• Vehicle speed is less than 56 km/h (35 MPH). The system is designed to function at speeds greater
than 56 km/h (35 MPH).
• The system cannot detect lane markings. This may be because there are no lane markings, as on a
country road or that the lane markings cannot be determined due to snow, rain, or other driving
conditions.
• The windshield area in front of the camera or the camera lens is blocked by fog, dirt, damage to the
windshield or other elements that may prevent the camera from detecting lane markings.
• Ready To Assist: The system is enabled and ready to warn of the unintentional lane crossing. The system
is ready to assist when the green lane departure warning indicator is illuminated on the vehicle direction
display.
• When one of the following conditions are met, the system will not give alerts:
• The correct turn signal is activated. An activated turn signal is interpreted as an intentional lane
crossing.
• The operator makes an intentional steering maneuver.
• The operator makes an intentional accelerating maneuver.
• The operator makes an intentional braking maneuver.
• Lane crossing alert consists of the following:
• Three chimes are activated through the radio.
• The amber lane departure warning indicator will flash.
Lane Departure Warning System Driver Information Center Messages
The front view camera module can command the driver information center to display the various messages to
alert the driver of a system concern or status information. For detailed information about the possible messages
please refer to the user's manual.
LANE KEEP ASSIST DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
NOTE:
• The Lane Keep Assist system DOES NOT continuously steer the vehicle
• The Lane Keep Assist system replaces Lane Departure Warning System
• Lane Departure Warning will have more alerts than Lane Keep Assist
(visual, audible, and haptic warning)
The system assists driver to keep vehicle in-lane by providing a steering push back to the vehicle when an
unintended lane departure is detected. See the user's manual for more detailed information on vehicle
personalization.
The lane keep assist system is made up of the following components:
• Front view camera module
• Lane Keep Assist switch/control indicator
• Instrument cluster/Vehicle Direction Display
• Radio
• Safety Alert Seat (if equipped)
• Yaw rate sensor
• Electric power steering
The camera detects visual queues such as lane markings. When it is determined that the vehicle has
unintentionally moved outside of the lane, visual, and audible or haptic warning is given to the driver. The front
view camera module receives an input from the lane keep assist switch and controls the lane keep assist switch
indicator output. The front view camera module also communicates via serial data with the instrument cluster,
radio, and memory seat module to request visual, and audible or haptic alerts.
Lane Keep Assist Switch
The lane keep assist switch provides an input to the front view camera module to turn the lane keep assist
system ON and OFF. The front view camera module provides a signal voltage to the normally open momentary
switch. When the switch is pressed, the signal circuit is pulled to ground, indicating to the front view camera
module that the system has been requested to turn ON or OFF. The lane keep assist switch also contains the lane
keep assist switch indicator, which is controlled by the front view camera module to indicate the ON and OFF
status of the lane keep assist system. When the system has been enabled by the lane keep assist switch, the front
view camera module applies ground to the switch indicator and illuminates the LED. The location of the lane
keep assist switch can vary with different vehicles. For the exact location please refer to the user's manual.
The vehicle direction display contains green and amber lane keep assist indicators. These indicate to the driver
the current status of the lane keep assist system and are controlled via serial data by the front view camera
module. When the vehicle speed is above 56 km/h (35 MPH) and the system has detected the required lane
markings and is ready to assist, the green indicator will be illuminated on the vehicle direction display. If the
vehicle has unintentionally left the lane, the amber indicator will flash.
The radio controls the audible alert for the lane keep assist. If the vehicle has unintentionally left the lane, the
radio will command three beeps as an audible alert to the driver.
The memory seat module controls the haptic alert provided by the seats. If the vehicle has unintentionally left
the lane, and the Electric Power Steering determines the corrective action requires an above threshold amount of
effort, the memory seat module will command three pulses to the left or right side of the seat, depending on the
lane departure direction.
The steering intervention is based on the forward looking sensor outputs, such as lateral offset of the vehicle,
relative yaw angle and time to line crossing. Over that, other vehicle dynamics signals are needed, e.g. velocity,
steering angle, yaw rate for the purpose of a driver suppression.
The electric power steering uses a torque sensor to detect driver inputs and relays that information to the
frontview camera module. The electric power steering is used to provide steering push back.
Lane Keep Assist Operation
There is two stages of warning/intervention for the driver: The first stage is the steering push back, if the lane
keep assist system detects that the vehicle will cross the lane marking despite it is intervening, a second stage
warning shall be issued. The second stage warning is a chime or a haptic seat vibration, if equipped with haptic
seats. If a haptic seat vibration is used as stage 2 warning, the vibration shall take place on the side of the seat,
where the lane departure happened.
System operation can be described by the following modes:
• Off State: The system has been turned off by the driver using the lane keep assist switch. The lane keep
assist indicator will not be illuminated.
• Not Ready To Assist: The system is enabled and the lane keep assist indicator is illuminated, but not

Lane Keep Assist System Driver Information Center Messages
The front view camera module can command the driver information center to display the various messages to
alert the driver of a system concern or status information. For detailed information about the possible messages
please refer to the user's manual.
The rear cross traffic alert system is designed to provide enhanced customer visibility while backing up by
providing warnings to the driver on impending rear cross traffic. The rear cross traffic alert system is designed
to detect and track objects of interest within a specified coverage zone behind the vehicle. The system is
designed to alert the driver, with a visual display and either an audible sound or a haptic w, to the presence of
objects of interest that may cause a collision with the host vehicle. Although the system is intended to assist
drivers in backing up, it does not replace driver's vision. The driver is responsible to check carefully for objects
outside of the coverage zone (e.g., a fast approaching vehicle) for a safe backing maneuver. In the event that the
system senses a malfunction through its diagnostic functions, the system will be disabled and the driver will be
visually notified.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert System Components
The side blind zone alert system is made up of the following components:
• Left side object sensor module (also used for side blind zone alert)
• Right side object sensor module (also used for side blind zone alert)
• Visual Display Icons located on the rear vision display screen
• Audio System chime or Haptic Seat notification
The side object sensor modules are located on each side of the vehicle behind the rear fascia and are not directly
visible from outside the vehicle. The sensors use radar to determine the presence of objects nearby. When an
object is detected in the rear cross traffic zone, the module will send out a signal through serial data
communication to turn on the visual icons and also audio chime notification. Each sensor is supplied B+ and
ground. The right sensor receives an additional ground. Both sensors communicate independently on the serial
data line. The serial data enters the left sensor in a pass-thru configuration, that connects to the right sensor. The
scan tool is able to individually communicate with each sensor.
The rear cross traffic alert system visual alert display consists of two visual icons, one on each side of the
display screen of the rear vision camera, that are used to alert the driver on rear cross traffic from each side of
the host vehicle respectively.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert Operation
The rear cross traffic alert system is designed to detect objects of interest as small as a 125cc motorcycle with
rider. The detection zone extends approximately 30 m (99 ft) from the rear corner of the car and covers an area
from behind the vehicle to 125 degrees towards the front at a height of 0.45 m (1.5 ft) to 2 m (6.5 ft) above
ground. The system operates when vehicle speed is 10 kph (6 mph) or less and is designed to detect objects
moving at speeds up to 36 kph (22 mph).
When the vehicle is backing up, the side object sensors receive energy that is reflected from external objects and
determine if the objects are objects of interest or not. The system may at times detect pedestrians, shopping
carts, or similar moving objects. This is normal and should not be considered as a false alert or problem with the
system. The rear cross traffic alert system will estimate vehicle travel trajectory and use the information in
conjunction with object travel trajectory information to determine if there is a potential collision between the
vehicle and the object of interest. The rear cross traffic alert function will only alert on objects of interest that
pose a potential collision with the host vehicle. The system is not designed to provide an alert to objects that
have no potential collision with vehicle. In addition, the system will not alert to stationary objects such as signs,
parked cars, etc.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert Driver Information Center Messages
This message indicates that the system has been disabled through the driver information center. Refer to the
vehicle owners manual for instructions on how to set personalization options on the driver information center.
This message indicates that the system requires service. Since the sensors are also used for side blind zone alert,
this feature will also be inoperative.
This message indicates that the system has been temporarily disabled because the sensor is blocked or can
otherwise not accurately detect vehicles or objects. Such instances may be mud, dirt, snow, ice, or slush build-
up on the rear fascia, heavy rainfall, excessive road spray, fascia damage or stickers.
The rear cross traffic alert system will read the GPS latitude and longitude on the serial data bus and calculate if
the vehicle is within a Radio Astronomy zone. These zones are located in Europe and Japan and require the
sensors to be turned off. The "Side Detection System Unavailable" message will be displayed to the driver when
this occurs.

Description and Operation
The side blind zone alert system shall detect and report "objects of interest" on either side of the vehicle, within
a specified "blind spot" zone. The system is designed to alert the driver, with a visual display placed on the side
view mirror, to the presence of objects of interest that may not be visible in the inside rearview mirror and
outside rear view mirrors. Although this system is intended to help drivers avoid lane change crashes, it does
not replace driver vision and therefore should be considered a lane change aid. Even with the side blind zone
alert system, the driver must check carefully for objects outside of the reporting zone (e.g., a fast approaching
vehicle) before changing lanes. In the event that the system senses a malfunction through its diagnostic routines,
the system will be disabled and the driver will be visually notified.
When the system detects a vehicle in the side blind zone while driving forward, an amber warning symbol will
light up in the appropriate outside mirror. This indicates that it may be unsafe to change lanes. If the driver then
activates the turn signal, the amber warning symbol starts flashing as an extra warning not to change lanes.
Side blind zone alert is active when the vehicle is out of park or the parking brake is off on manual transmission
vehicles and at speeds up to approximately 140 km/h (87 MPH). If a vehicle is detected in the blind zone, the
warning symbols will turn illuminate on the appropriate side. When the vehicle is started, both outside mirror
displays will briefly come on to indicate that the system is operating. The warning symbols will vary brightness
based on the ambient light conditions.
Side Blind Zone Alert System Components
The side blind zone alert system is made up of the following components:
• Left side object sensor module (also used for rear cross traffic alert)
• Right side object sensor module (also used for rear cross traffic alert)
• Driver outside rearview mirror
• Passenger outside rearview mirror
Side Object Sensor Modules
The side object sensor modules are located on each side of the vehicle behind the rear fascia and are not directly
visible from outside the vehicle. The sensors use radar to determine the presence of objects nearby. When an
object is detected in the side blind zone, the side object sensor module supplies voltage to illuminate the visual
indicator on the appropriate side rear view mirror. Each sensor is supplied B+ and ground. The right sensor
receives an additional ground. Both sensors communicate independently on the serial data line. The serial data
enters the left sensor in a pass-thru configuration, that connects to the right sensor. The scan tool is able to
individually communicate with each sensor.
The outside rearview mirrors contain an icon that is backlit with high intensity, amber-colored LED's located on
the mirror surface. The display brightness adapts to day/night conditions. The side blind zone alert indicator
icon in the left or right outside rearview mirror is illuminated if the left or right side object sensor module
detects a vehicle in the side blind zone to inform the driver that there is a vehicle driving in the blind spot zone.
Side Blind Zone Alert Operation
When the vehicle is started, both outside mirror displays will briefly come on to indicate that the system is
operating. The system is designed to detect objects of interest as small as a 125cc motorcycle with rider. The
detection zone starts at the outside rearview mirror and extends out to 3.5 m (11 ft) at the back corner of the
vehicle and 3 m (10 ft) behind the vehicle at a height of 0.5 m (1.5 ft) to 2.0 m (6 ft) above the ground. The
system may light up an indicator due to guardrails, signs, trees, shrubs, and other non-moving objects. This is
normal system operation; the vehicle does not need service.
When the system detects a vehicle in the side blind zone while driving forward, independent if passing a vehicle
or being passed, an amber warning symbol will light up in the appropriate outside mirror. This indicates that it
may be unsafe to change lanes. If the driver then activates the turn signal, the amber warning symbol starts
flashing as an extra warning not to change lanes.
Foul weather may affect the operation of the side blind zone system. Occasional missed alerts can occur under
normal circumstances and will increase in wet conditions. The number of missed alerts will increase with
increased rainfall or road spray. Heavy rainfall, as well as mud, dirt, snow, ice, or slush build-up on the rear
fascia, can completely disable the system.
If the vehicle is towing a trailer or has an object such as a bicycle rack attached to the rear of the vehicle, the
side blind zone system may not function properly and the indicators may illuminate intermittently or remain
illuminated all the time.
Side Blind Zone Alert Driver Information Center Messages
This message indicates that the system has been disabled through the driver information center. Refer to the
vehicle owners manual for instructions on how to set personalization options on the driver information center.
This message indicates that the system requires service. When the message is displayed, the indicators will
remain illuminated at all times, notifying the driver that the side blind zone system should not be relied upon
when changing lanes. Since the sensors are also used for rear cross traffic alert, this feature will also be
inoperative.
This message indicates that the system has been temporarily disabled because the sensor is blocked or can
otherwise not accurately detect vehicles or objects. Such instances may be mud, dirt, snow, ice, or slush build-
up on the rear fascia, heavy rainfall, excessive road spray, fascia damage or stickers.
The rear cross traffic alert system will read the GPS latitude and longitude on the serial data bus and calculate if
the vehicle is within a Radio Astronomy zone. These zones are located in Europe and Japan and require the
sensors to be turned off. The "Side Detection System Unavailable" message will be displayed to the driver when
this occurs.
The forward collision alert system is a convenience feature of the frontview camera module that issues a
warning to the driver when a potential collision risk exists. The frontview camera module is located behind the
windshield, looking toward the roadway ahead and detecting vehicles within a distance of approximately 60
meters (197 ft). The forward collision alert system is always active and operates at speeds above 40 kph (25
mph).
When the frontview camera module detects a vehicle in the path ahead, the green vehicle ahead indicator in the
vehicle direction display is illuminated. When following a vehicle ahead too closely, the amber collision alert
indicator will illuminate and stay on until the following distance is increased. The green vehicle ahead indicator
will then be illuminated again. When approaching another vehicle too rapidly, the collision alert symbol will
flash in the vehicle direction display and an audible alert sounds. The forward collision alert sensitivity can be
adjusted using the forward collision alert switch in the left steering wheel controls.
When the system detects a vehicle ahead in your path that is traveling in the same direction that you may be
about to crash into, it can provide a boost to braking or automatically brake the vehicle. This can help avoid or
lessen the severity of crashes when driving in a forward gear. Depending on the situation, the vehicle may
automatically brake moderately or hard. This front automatic braking can only occur if a vehicle is detected.
The system works when driving in a forward gear between 5 mph (8 km/h) and 37 mph (60 km/h). It can detect
vehicles up to approximately 197 ft (60 m).
Forward collision does not provide a warning to help avoid a crash unless it detects a vehicle. Forward collision
alert may not detect a vehicle ahead if the frontview camera module is blocked by dirt, snow, or ice, or if the
windshield is damaged. It may also not detect a vehicle on winding or hilly roads, or in conditions that can limit
visibility such as fog, rain, or snow, or if the headlamps or windshield are not cleaned or in proper condition.
Ensure the windshield, headlamps, and frontview camera module are clean and in good repair. In some cases the
forward collision alert system may provide unnecessary alerts for turning vehicles, vehicles in other lanes,
objects that are not vehicles, or shadows. These alerts are normal operation and the vehicle does not need
service.
The forward collision alert system is made up of the following components:
• Frontview camera module
• Forward collision alert switch
• Instrument cluster/Vehicle direction display
• Infotainment system
The frontview camera module detects vehicles in front of the host vehicle. The frontview camera module
communicates via serial data to the instrument cluster to illuminate the appropriate indicators in the vehicle
direction display. The frontview camera module also communicates via serial data with the driver information
center to display messages and the radio to request audible alerts.
The forward collision alert switch provides an input to the frontview camera module to select between four alert
timing sensitivity settings. These setting will change the sensitivity for both the following too closely and
forward collision alert indicators. In addition to the sensitivity setting, the alert distance will change based upon
vehicle speed. The frontview camera module provides a signal voltage to the normally open switch. When the
switch is pressed, the signal circuit is pulled to ground through a resistor, indicating to the frontview camera
module that the system has been requested to change the alert timing sensitivity. The first button press shows
the current alert timing setting on the driver information center. With every button press, the alert timing
sensitivity is changed. The current alert timing setting will be maintained until it is changed. The preset alert
timing setting is displayed in the top line of the driver information center. The position of the forward collision
alert switch can vary with different vehicles. For the exact position please refer to the owner's manual.
The vehicle direction display contains the indicators for the collision alert system and are controlled by the
instrument cluster via serial data messages from the frontview camera module. The green vehicle ahead
indicator indicates to the driver that the frontview camera module system has detected a vehicle in the driving
path ahead. The amber collision alert indicator will illuminated continuously if the system determines that the
vehicle ahead is too close. When approaching another vehicle too rapidly, the red collision alert symbol will
flash.
The infotainment system controls the audible alert for the forward collision alert system and is activated via
serial data from the frontview camera module. If the host vehicle is approaching another vehicle too rapidly, the
infotainment system will command an audible alert to the driver.
Forward Collision Alert System Driver Information Center Messages
The frontview camera module can command the driver information center to display the various messages to
alert the driver of a system concern or status information. For detailed information about the possible messages
please refer to the owner's manual.
• FORWARD COLLISION ALERT OFF
• SERVICE FRONT CAMERA
ACTIVE SAFETY SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The forward collision alert system is a convenience feature of the frontview camera module that issues a
warning to the driver when a potential collision risk exists. The frontview camera module is located behind the
windshield, looking out at the road ahead and detecting vehicles directly ahead. When the system detects a
vehicle in the path ahead, the green vehicle ahead indicator is illuminated on the instrument cluster. When
approaching another vehicle too rapidly, the collision alert symbol will flash in the head-up display (if
equipped) or a series of red collision alert indicators will flash. An audible alert sound will simultaneously
sound or the safety alert seat will provide haptic feedback. The visual alert cannot be changed, but the driver
can select between audible or haptic alerts in the vehicle personalization menus. The forward collision alert
system can also be turned on or off through the vehicle personalization menus. See the vehicle owner manual
for more detailed information on vehicle personalization.
Forward collision alert does not provide a warning to help avoid a crash, unless it detects a vehicle. Forward
collision alert may not detect a vehicle ahead if the frontview camera module is blocked by dirt, snow, or ice, or
if the windshield is damaged. It may also not detect a vehicle on winding or hilly roads, or in conditions that can
limit visibility such as fog, rain, or snow, or if the headlamps or windshield are not cleaned or in proper
condition. Keep the windshield, headlamps, and frontview camera module clean and in good repair.
Forward collision alert may provide unnecessary alerts for turning vehicles, vehicles in other lanes, objects that
are not vehicles, or shadows. These alerts are normal operation and the vehicle does not need service.
The forward collision alert system is made up of the following components:
• Frontview camera module
• Forward collision alert switch
• Instrument cluster
• Collision alert indicators (without UV6)
• Head-up display (with UV6)
• Infotainment system
• Safety alert seat, if equipped
The active emergency braking systems includes the intelligent brake assist system and the automatic collision
preparation system. The intelligent brake assist and the automatic collision preparation systems are designed
provide a boost to braking or automatically brake the vehicle to help avoid or lessen the severity of crashes
when driving in a forward gear.
Intelligent brake assist is designed to pre-fill the brake hydraulic system to reduce system response time and
increase pressure when quickly applying the brakes. Using the frontview camera module and the distance
sensing cruise control module, the system monitors the approach speed and distance to a vehicle ahead. If the
Intelligent brake assist system determines a collision risk exists, it will begin preparations to the brake hydraulic
system. When active, minor brake pedal pulsations or pedal movement may occur and this should be considered
normal. Intelligent brake assist will resort to normal braking operation after an intelligent brake assist even has
occurred when the brake pedal is released.
When driving in a forward gear at speeds 9 kph (5 mph), the automatic collision preparation system uses the
frontview camera module and distance sensing cruise control module to determine if an imminent collision risk
exists. If the brakes have not been applied, the system will automatically apply the brakes in an effort to
mitigate the collision or reduce collision damage. The system has a detection range of approximately 60 m (197
ft) and will only function when a vehicle is detected, as indicated by the green vehicle ahead indicator is
illuminated on the instrument cluster.
Automatic collision preparation is not a substitute for normal vehicle braking and should not be relied on to
brake the vehicle. Automatic collision preparation may not detect a vehicle ahead if the frontview camera
module or distance sensing cruise control module is blocked by dirt, snow, or ice, or if the windshield is
damaged. It may also not detect a vehicle on winding or hilly roads, or in conditions that can limit visibility
such as fog, rain, or snow, or if the headlamps or windshield are not cleaned or in proper condition. Keep the
windshield, headlamps, distance sensing cruise control module, and frontview camera module clean and in good
repair.
The active emergency braking system are made up of the following components:
• Frontview camera module
• Distance sensing cruise control module
• Electronic brake control module
The frontview camera module detects vehicles in front of the vehicle. The frontview camera module
communicates with the instrument cluster via serial data to illuminate the appropriate amber or green vehicle
ahead indicator, collision alert symbol will flash in the head-up display, or collision alert indicators. The
frontview camera module also communicates via serial data with the infotainment system and memory seat
module to request audible or haptic alerts.
The frontview camera module works in conjunction with the distance sensing cruise control module to track
vehicles ahead and determine if a collision risk exists. If a collision risk exists, the active emergency braking
systems will be activated to reduce collision damage.
The distance sensing cruise control module works in conjunction with the frontview camera module to track
vehicles ahead and determine if a collision risk exists. If a collision risk exists, the active emergency braking
systems will be activated to reduce collision damage.
The electronic brake control module is used by the active emergency braking system to pre-fill and prepare for
braking by the intelligent brake assist and actively brake the vehicle by the automatic collision preparation
system.
The forward collision alert switch provides an input to the frontview camera module to select the alert timing
sensitivity when approaching another vehicle too rapidly. The forward collision alert switch is part of the
steering wheel controls switch - left and provides inputs to the body control module (BCM), which then
communicates with the frontview camera module via serial data.
The BCM applies a reference voltage and monitors a low signal voltage from the normally open switch. When
the switch is pressed, the signal circuit is pulled low through a specific series of resistors, indicating that the
system has been requested to change the alert timing sensitivity. The first button press will show the current
alert timing setting on the driver information center. With every subsequent button press, the alert timing
sensitivity is changed.
The instrument cluster communicates via serial data with the frontview camera module and will illuminate the
amber or green vehicle ahead indicator as requested by the frontview camera module. The instrument cluster
also controls the head-up display or the collision alert indicators.
The collision alert indicators are a series of red LEDs that will flash when approaching another vehicle too
rapidly. The collision alert indicators are located in the upper instrument panel area and reflect off the
windshield when illuminated.
The collision alert indicators receive power and ground and are discretely controlled by the instrument cluster
through a pair of low control circuits. When requested by the frontview camera module, the instrument panel
will pulse the low control circuits, flashing the LEDs as a visual alert that another vehicle is being approached
too rapidly.
The instrument cluster controls the head-up display via serial data. The instrument cluster will command the
head-up display to flash the collision alert indicator as a visual alert when approaching another vehicle too
rapidly as requested by the frontview camera module.
The infotainment system controls the audible alerts for the forward collision alert system. If the host vehicle is
approaching another vehicle too rapidly, the frontview camera module will command the infotainment system
issue an audible alert to the driver.
The memory seat module controls the haptic alert provided by the seats. If the vehicle is approaching another
vehicle too quickly, the frontview camera module will command the memory seat module to pulse both sides of
the seat.
REAR VISION CAMERA DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Rear Vision Camera System Operation
The rear vision camera system consists of a video camera/module located at the rear of the vehicle and the
infotainment display.
When the transmission is placed into REVERSE, a 12 volt signal is sent to the rear vision camera by the body
control module (BCM). This signal indicates to the camera that the vehicle is in reverse and image display is
requested. The rear vision camera receives ignition voltage and a constant ground to power the camera. Video
signal + and video signal - circuits carry the video image from the rear vision camera to the infotainment
display. Additionally, the video signal circuits are shielded to prevent any interference which may lead to a loss
of video signal resolution and a degraded video image. The shield is provided a ground path by the rear vision
camera.
The following conditions may cause a degraded rear vision camera image:
• Ice, snow, or mud has built up on the rear vision camera
• Dark conditions
• Extreme light conditions, such as glare from the sun or the headlights of another vehicle
• Damage to the rear of the vehicle
• Extreme high temperatures or extreme temperature changes
If a malfunction is detected in the system, Service Rear Vision Camera may be displayed on the infotainment
display as an indicator to the customer that a problem exists that requires service.

• J-38125-5A Ultra Torch Special Tool
• J-38125-8 Splice Sleeve Crimping Tool (GMNA)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools .
WARNING: In order to reduce the risk of personal injury, loss of high voltage isolation to
ground and higher system impedance, do not attempt to repair any HV wiring,
connector, or terminal that is damaged. High voltage coaxial type cables are not
repairable. Never attempt to repair a coaxial type cable. The entire
cable/harness or component must be replaced. In order to maintain system
integrity and personal safety, never attempt to repair any high voltage wiring,
cables, or terminals. Performing this procedure on high voltage circuits may
result in serious injury or death.
NOTE: If the wiring harness internal to the transmission is damaged, the wiring
harness must be replaced. The use of splice sleeves in an attempt to repair the
internal transmission wires, connectors, or terminals could result in
performance issues.
NOTE: Do not splice wires in Door Harness Grommets.
NOTE: The DuraSeal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features:
• A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat
shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside.
• A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides the necessary low
resistance contact integrity for these sensitive, low energy circuits.

NOTE: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the
procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip
with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
• Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness in
order to avoid wire insulation damage.
• Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except Tefzel and coaxial.
• Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the
location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness
branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
• When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
• Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
• Find the wire on the schematic and convert to regional wiring gauge size.
• 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 5.0 mm (0.20 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. For high temperature wiring, slide a section of high temperature SCT1 shrink tubing down the length of
wire to be spliced. Ensure that the shrink tubing will not interfere with the splice procedure.
5. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool
nests.

CONNECTOR RECONNECTION - SEATS
EL-35616 Terminal Test Probe Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools .
When the condition is not currently present, but is indicated in DTC history, the cause may be intermittent. An
intermittent may also be the cause when there is a customer complaint, but the symptom cannot be duplicated.
Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of causing the condition before trying to locate an
intermittent condition.
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following
items:
• Loose, corroded, or painted terminal stud/fastener
• Wiring broken inside the insulation
• Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
• A terminal not seated all the way into the connector body
• Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps,
poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion in the wire
to terminal contact area, etc.
• Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The conductor
can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff sections of wire
in the suspect circuits.
• Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent open or
short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
• Wiring that comes in contact with hot or exhaust components
• Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order
to verify the customer concern.
• Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
• Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder
operation.
Testing for Terminal Fretting
Some intermittent conditions can be caused by wire terminal fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion is a build-up
of insulating, oxidized wear debris that can form when there is a small motion between electrical contacts. The
oxidized wear debris can pile up enough at the electrical contact spots that the electrical resistance across the
connection increases. Movement between the contacting surfaces as small as 10 to 100 microns can cause
fretting. To put this in perspective, a sheet of paper is about 100 microns thick, so fretting motion is small and
hard to see. Vibration and thermal expansion/contraction are the main sources that create fretting motion. Since
vehicles vibrate and can experience large temperature swings, they are a good source for fretting motion. Tin,
copper, nickel, and iron surfaces are all susceptible to fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion can be difficult to
see but it looks like small, dark smudges on the terminals contact surface.
To correct a fretting condition disconnect the suspect connector and add dielectric grease / lubricant (Nyogel
760G or equivalent, meeting GM specification 9986087) to both sides of the connector terminals. Then
reconnect the connector and wipe away any excess lubricant. This will correct the additional terminal contact
resistance due to the terminal fretting corrosion.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect
component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between
the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged
connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause
contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion,
causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always
use the EL-35616 kit when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining
the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the
female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses and relays in
a bussed electrical center. Use the EL-35616 kit to test for proper terminal contact. Failure to use the EL-35616
kit can result in improper diagnosis of the bussed electrical center.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Separate the connector halves.
2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green
build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance,
intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of
contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal/terminated lead, verify that the retention force is significantly different
between a known good terminal and the suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire connectors on the harness side or the component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the
connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to
ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter into the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
• Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying voltage to
a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply circuits that may
also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors, fuses, and any
intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component. A test lamp or a DMM
may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit to carry sufficient current.
Operate the component to test the ability of the circuit to carry sufficient current. Refer to Circuit Testing
, and Power Distribution Schematics .
• Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple ground
circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need to be tested.
Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point (screw or stud). Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Operate the component to test the
ability of the circuit to carry sufficient current. Refer to Circuit Testing , and Ground Distribution
Schematics .
Temperature Sensitivity
• An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when the
component/connection is hot.
• Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type of
intermittent condition, where applicable.
• If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
• High ambient temperatures
• Underhood/engine generated heat
• Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
• Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
• If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
• Low ambient temperatures - In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
• The condition only occurs on a cold start.
• The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
• Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is temperature
related.
• If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the condition.
Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference or other types of electrical
noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
• A mis-routed harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary ignition
components, motors, generator etc. - These components may induce electrical noise on a circuit that could
interfere with normal circuit operation.
• Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven solenoid or
switch - These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will occur when the
malfunctioning component is operating.
• Installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way radios, amplifiers,
electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc. - These accessories may create
interference in other circuits while operating and the interference would disappear when the accessory is
not operating. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories .
• Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays may
contain a clamping diode.
• The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
• There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
• A new service control module is installed.
• A control module from another vehicle is installed.
• Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
NOTE: DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME
software/calibration files that are already present in the control module.
This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.
• Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming is
found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to Control
Module References for replacement, setup, and programming.
