Antilock Brake System Automated Bleed Procedure


Bleeding the ABS/TCS System
Perform a manual or pressure bleeding procedure. Refer to Hydraulic Brake System Bleeding in
Hydraulic Brakes. If the desired brake pedal height results are not achieved, perform the auto
bleed procedure below.

The procedure cycles the system valves and runs the pump in order to purge the air from the
secondary circuits normally closed off during non ABS/TCS mode operation and bleeding. The auto
bleed procedure is recommended when air ingestion is suspected in the secondary circuits, or when
the BPMV has been replaced.

Auto Bleed Procedure


Notice: The Auto Bleed Procedure may be terminated at any time during the process by
pressing the EXIT button. No further Scan Tool prompts pertaining to the Auto Bleed
procedure will be given. After exiting the bleed procedure, relieve bleed pressure and
disconnect bleed equipment per manufacturers instructions. Failure to properly relieve
pressure may result in spilled brake fluid causing damage to components and painted
surfaces.

1. Raise the vehicle on a suitable support. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General
Information.
2. Remove all four tire and wheel assemblies. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation
in Tires and Wheels.
3. Inspect the brake system for leaks and visual damage. Refer to Brake Fluid Leak or
Symptoms - Hydraulic Brakes in Hydraulic Brakes. Repair or replace as needed.
4. Inspect the battery state of charge. Refer to Battery Inspection/Test in Engine Electrical.
5. Install a scan tool.
6. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
7. With the scan tool, establish communications with the ABS/TCS system. Select Special
Functions from the ABS/TCS menu. Select Automated Bleed from the Special Functions
menu.
8. Bleed the base brake system. Refer to Hydraulic Brake System Bleeding in Hydraulic Brakes.
9. Follow the scan tool directions until the desired brake pedal height is achieved.
10. If the bleed procedure is aborted, a malfunction exists. Perform the following steps before
resuming the bleed procedure:
• If a DTC is detected, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List and diagnose the
appropriate DTC.
• If the brake pedal feels spongy, perform the conventional brake bleed procedure again.
Refer to Hydraulic Brake System Bleeding in Hydraulic Brakes.
11. When the desired pedal height is achieved, press the brake pedal in order to inspect for
firmness.
12. Remove the scan tool.
13. Install the tire and wheel assemblies. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation in
Tires and Wheels.
14. Inspect the brake fluid level. Refer to Master Cylinder Reservoir Filling in Hydraulic Brakes.
15. Road test the vehicle while inspecting that the pedal remains high and firm.

If the vehicle is not used under any of these conditions, change the fluid and filter every 100,000
miles.

CHECKING FLUID LEVEL & CONDITION

1. Start the engine and allow the engine to idle until the transaxle has reached 180-200°F.
Depress the brake pedal and move the shift lever through the gear ranges, pausing a few
seconds in each gear. Is the fluid Red or Light Brown? If so, go to step 4 . If not, go to next
step.
2. Does the fluid have a burnt odor or a Dark Brown color? If so, go to step 11 . If not, go to
next step.
3. Does the fluid have a cloudy or milky appearance? If so, go to step 10 . If not, go to next
step.
4. Check the fluid level. The vehicle must be level, with the engine running and the shift lever
in the Park range. Check both sides of the fluid level indicator, and read the lower level.
The proper fluid level should be in the middle of the cross-hatch. Is the fluid level too high?
If so, go to step 9 . If not, go to next step.
5. Is the fluid level low? If not, system is okay. If so, go to next step.
6. Add DEXRON-III(R) ATF in increments of 0.5L until the fluid is in the middle of the
cross-hatch. Check both sides of the fluid level indicator, and read the lower level. Did you
add more than 1.5L to the transaxle? If not, go to step 9 . If so, go to next step.
7. Check for external leaks. Did you find any leaks? If not, go to step 15 . If so, go to next
step.
8. Correct the leak condition. Did you correct the leak condition? If so, go to step 15 .
9. Remove any excess fluid to the proper level, the middle of the cross-hatch. Is the fluid level
satisfactory? If so, system is okay.
10. The transaxle is contaminated with engine coolant. Replace the cooler. Is the replacement
complete? If so, go to step 13 .

NOTE: Transmission fluid may turn dark with normal use. This does
not always indicate oxidation or contamination. Drain the fluid
to determine if the fluid is contaminated.

11. A very small amount of material in the bottom pan is a normal condition, but large pieces of
metal or other material in the bottom pan require a transaxle overhaul. Was the fluid
contaminated? If not, go to step 13 . If so, go to next step.
12. Overhaul the transaxle. See appropriate OVERHAUL article in AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSIONS. Is the overhaul complete? If so, go to next step.

4. Determine the source of the contamination if foreign material is evident. Correct the source
of the contamination. Use solvent to clean the screen and blow-dry if reusing. Install a new
seal (101). See Fig. 3 . Install the filter (100). See Fig. 2 .
5. Inspect the oil pan flange (1) for distortion. See Fig. 4 . Replace the oil pan (1) if bent or
distorted. Do not attempt to straighten. Inspect the washers on the bolts when service
requires the removal of the bottom oil pan. Install a new bolt and washer assembly if the
washer is inverted. See Fig. 5 .

NOTE: Ensure the oil pan and the case flanges are dry and are free of
any oil film or leakage may result.

6. Use solvent to clean the case. Air dry the case. Use solvent to clean the oil pan gasket
surfaces. Air dry the oil pan gasket surfaces. Ensure all traces of the old gasket material are
removed.
7. Install the oil pan gasket (25). See Fig. 2 . Install the oil pan (24). Install the oil pan bolts

Mobile Telephone Antenna Inner Coupling Replacement


Removal Procedure
Important:
• The adhesion promoter must be used to assure adequate bonding of the coupling.
• To obtain maximum adhesion between the new mobile antenna couplings and the glass
surface, the couplings and the glass must be kept dry and above 15°C (60°F) during
the installation. Allow 6-8 hours, at 15°C (60°F), for the adhesive to cure after
installation. Otherwise the new coupling may come not adhere.
• Do not use using any type of glue, adhesive tapes, etc. to reinstall the original
couplings. Doing so may eliminate the cellular signal transfer through the glass and
reduce the maximum performance of the system, including the air bag deployment
notification.

1. Disconnect the coaxial cable from the inner coupling of the mobile communication antenna.

Notice: If you use a razor blade or other sharp tool in order to remove the adhesives or
foreign objects from the inside of the rear window, use the blade carefully. Damage to the
grid lines may result.

l Inspect both ends of the outer pad by looking in at each end of the caliper. The highest rate
of wear normally occurs at these points. The outboard pad (3) has a wear sensor (1) that will
make noise when the linings wear to the point of needing replacement.
• l Inspect the brake pad thickness on the inner pad in order to ensure that the brake pad has
not worn prematurely. Some inboard brake pads have a thermal layer against the pad,
integrally molded with the pad. Do not confuse this thermal layer with uneven inboard-
outboard pad wear. View the inner brake pad through the inspection hole in the top of the
caliper.

Replace the disc brake pads whenever the thickness of any brake pad is worn to within
0.76 mm (0.030 in) of the pad. In the case of riveted brake pads, replace the pads when the
pad wears to within 0.76 mm (0.030 in) of any rivet head. Replace disc brake pads in axle
sets (front/rear) at the same time.

Important: DO NOT refinish the brake rotors in order to correct any of the following conditions:
• Brake noise, such as a growl or squeal
• Premature brake lining wear
• Superficial corrosion of the rotor braking surface
• Rotor discoloration
Refinish the brake rotors ONLY when one or more of the following conditions exist:
• Severe scoring of the rotor braking surface (groove depth in excess of specification
• Brake pulsation that is caused by the following conditions:
- Lateral runout in excess of specification
- Brake rotor thickness variation in excess of specification
- Corrosion or pitting that is deeper than the rotor braking surface

Notice: Whenever the brake rotor has been separated from the wheel bearing flange, clean
any rust or foreign material from the mating surface of the rotor and flange with the J 42450

Door Lock Striker Adjustment


Caution: Striker alignment is crucial for proper operation of the door systems. Do not hit the
striker with a hammer or force alignment in any other way. Failure to properly adjust striker will
result in excessive door efforts or extensive damage to door system operation which could result in
personal injury.

locate the striker.
5. Slowly open the door.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the
correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners
requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service
procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint
surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and
may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when
installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

6. Secure the striker assembly.

Tighten
Tighten the striker fasteners to 28 N·m (21 lb ft).

DRIVE BELT CHIRPING DIAGNOSIS

Diagnostic Aids

The symptom may be intermittent due to moisture on the drive belt(s) or the pulleys. It may be necessary to
spray a small amount of water on the drive belt(s) in order to duplicate the customers concern. If spraying water
on the drive belt(s) duplicates the symptom, cleaning the belt pulleys may be the probable solution.

A loose or improper installation of a body component, a suspension component, or other items of the vehicle
may cause the chirping noise.

Test Description

The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.

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

DRIVE BELT SQUEAL DIAGNOSIS

Diagnostic Aids

A loose or improper installation of a body component, a suspension component, or other items of the vehicle
may cause the squeal noise.

If the noise is intermittent, verify the accessory drive components by varying their loads making sure they are
operated to their maximum capacity. An overcharged A/C system, power steering system with a pinched hose
or wrong fluid, or a generator failing are suggested items to inspect.

2. The noise may not be engine related. This step is to verify that the engine is making the noise. If the
engine is not making the noise do not proceed further with this table
3. The noise may be an internal engine noise. Removing the drive belt and operating the engine for a brief
period will verify the squeal noise is the drive belt(s) or an accessory drive component. When removing
the drive belt the water pump may not be operating and the engine may overheat. Also DTCs may set
when the engine is operating with the drive belt removed.
4. This test is to verify that an accessory drive component does not have a seized bearing. With the belt
remove test the bearings in the accessory drive components for turning smoothly. Also test the accessory
drive components with the engine operating by varying the load on the components to verify that the
components operate properly.
5. This test is to verify that the drive belt tensioner operates properly. If the drive belt tensioner is not
operating properly, proper belt tension may not be achieved to keep the drive belt from slipping which
could cause a squeal noise.
6. This test is to verify that the drive belt(s) is not too long, which would prevent the drive belt tensioner
from working properly. Also if an incorrect length drive belt was installed, it may not be routed properly
and may be turning an accessory drive component in the wrong direction.
7. Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from improper mounting of the accessory drive
component, incorrect installation of the accessory drive component pulley, or the pulley bent inward or
outward from a previous repair. Test for a mis-aligned pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves
across two or three pulleys. If a mis-aligned pulley is found refer to that accessory drive component for
the proper installation procedure for that pulley.
8. This test is to verify that the pulleys are the correct diameter or width. Using a known good vehicle
compare the pulley sizes.

DRIVE BELT WHINE DIAGNOSIS

Diagnostic Aids

The drive belt(s) will not cause the whine noise. If the whine noise is intermittent. Verify the accessory drive
components by varying their loads making sure they are operated to their maximum capacity. Such items but
not limited to may be an A/C system overcharged, the power steering system restricted or the wrong fluid, or
the generator failing.

Test Description

The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.

3. This test is to verify that the noise is being caused by the drive belt(s) or the accessory drive
components. When removing the drive belt the water pump may not be operating and the engine may
overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive belt removed.
4. The inspection should include checking the drive belt tensioner and the drive belt idler pulley bearings.
The drive belt(s) may have to be installed and the accessory drive components operated separately by
varying their loads. Refer to the suspected accessory drive component for the proper inspection and
replacement procedure.

DRIVE BELT RUMBLING DIAGNOSIS

Diagnostic Aids

Vibration from the engine operating may cause a body component or another part of the vehicle to make
rumbling noise.

The drive belt(s) may have a condition that can not be seen or felt. Sometimes replacing the drive belt may be
the only repair for the symptom.

If replacing the drive belt(s), completing the diagnostic table, and the noise is only heard when the drive belt(s)
is installed, there might be an accessory drive component with a failure. Varying the load on the different
accessory drive components may aid in identifying which component is causing the rumbling noise.

Test Description

The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.

2. This test is to verify that the symptom is present during diagnosing. Other vehicle components may
cause a similar symptom.
3. This test is to verify that the drive belt(s) is causing the rumbling noise. Rumbling noise may be
confused with an internal engine noise due to the similarity in the description. Remove only one drive belt
at a time if the vehicle has multiple drive belts. When removing the drive belt the water pump may not be
operating and the engine may overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive
belt removed.
4. Inspecting the drive belt(s) is to ensure that it is not causing a the noise. Small cracks across the ribs of
the drive belt will not cause the noise. Belt separation is identified by the plys of the belt separating and
may be seen at the edge of the belt our felt as a lump in the belt.
5. Small amounts of pilling is normal condition and acceptable. When the pilling is severe the drive belt
does not have a smooth surface for proper operation.

2. This test is to verify that the symptom is present during diagnosing. Other vehicle components may
cause a similar symptom such as the exhaust system, or the drivetrain.
3. This test is to verify that the drive belt(s) or accessory drive components may be causing the vibration.
When removing the drive belt the water pump may not be operating and the engine may overheat. Also
DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive belt removed.
4. The drive belt(s) may cause a vibration. While the drive belt(s) is removed this is the best time to

inspect the condition of the belt.


6. Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that a wrong bolt, nut, spacer, or washer was
installed.
8. This step should only be performed if the water pump is driven by the drive belt. Inspect the water
pump shaft for being bent. Also inspect the water pump bearings for smooth operation and excessive
play. Compare the water pump with a known good water pump.
9. Accessory drive component brackets that are bent, cracked, or loose may put extra strain on that
accessory component causing it to vibrate.

DRIVE BELT FALLS OFF DIAGNOSIS

Diagnostic Aids

If the drive belt(s) repeatedly falls off the drive belt pulleys, this is because of pulley misalignment.

An extra load that is quickly applied on released by an accessory drive component may cause the drive belt to
fall off the pulleys. Verify the accessory drive components operate properly.

If the drive belt(s) is the incorrect length, the drive belt tensioner may not keep the proper tension on the drive
belt.

Test Description

The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.

2. This inspection is to verify the condition of the drive belt. Damage may of occurred to the drive belt
when the drive belt fell off. The drive belt may of been damaged, which caused the drive belt to fall off.
Inspect the belt for cuts, tears, sections of ribs missing, or damaged belt plys.
4. Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from improper mounting of the accessory drive
component, incorrect installation of the accessory drive component pulley, or the pulley bent inward or
outward from a previous repair. Test for a mis-aligned pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves
across two or three pulleys. If a mis-aligned pulley is found refer to that accessory drive component for
the proper installation procedure of that pulley.
5. Inspecting the pulleys for being bent should include inspecting for a dent or other damage to the
pulleys that would prevent the drive belt from not seating properly in all of the pulley grooves or on the
smooth surface of a pulley when the back side of the belt is used to drive the pulley.
6. Accessory drive component brackets that are bent or cracked will let the drive belt fall off.
7. Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that a wrong bolt, nut, spacer, or washer was
installed. Missing, loose, or the wrong fasteners may cause pulley misalignment from the bracket moving
under load. Over tightening of the fasteners may cause misalignment of the accessory component bracket.

DRIVE BELT EXCESSIVE WEAR DIAGNOSIS

Diagnostic Aids

Excessive wear on a drive belt(s) is usually caused by an incorrect installation or the wrong drive belt for the
application.

Minor misalignment of the drive belt pulleys will not cause excessive wear, but will probably cause the drive
belt(s) to make a noise or to fall off.

Excessive misalignment of the drive belt pulleys will cause excessive wear but may also make the drive belt(s)
fall off.

The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.

2. The inspection is to verify the drive belt(s) is correctly installed on all of the drive belt pulleys. Wear
on the drive belt(s) may be caused by mis-positioning the drive belt(s) by one groove on a pulley.
3. The installation of a drive belt that is two wide or two narrow will cause wear on the drive belt. The
drive belt ribs should match all of the grooves on all of the pulleys.
4. This inspection is to verify the drive belt(s) is not contacting any parts of the engine or body while the
engine is operating. There should be sufficient clearance when the drive belt accessory drive components
load varies. The drive belt(s) should not come in contact with an engine or a body component when
snapping the throttle.

ENGINE COMPRESSION TEST

Tools Required

J 39313 Spark Plug Port Adapter

A compression pressure test of the engine cylinders determines the condition of the rings, the valves and the
head gasket.

1. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature. The battery must be at or near full charge.
2. Turn the engine OFF.

Important: Remove the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and the ignition fuse from the IP fuse block.

3. Disable the ignition.


4. Disable the fuel systems.
5. Remove the spark plugs from all cylinders.
6. Remove the air duct from the throttle body.
7. Block the throttle plate in open position.
8. Measure the engine compression, using the following procedure:
8.1. Install the compression gauge firmly to the spark plug hole.
8.2. Have an assistant crank the engine through, at least four compression strokes, in the testing
cylinder.
8.3. Check and record the readings on the gauge at each stroke.
8.4. Disconnect the gauge.
8.5. Repeat the compression test for each cylinder.
9. Record the compression readings from all of the cylinders.
 The lowest reading should not be less than 70 percent of the highest reading.

 No cylinder reading should be less than 965 kPa (140 psi).

10. The following are examples of measurement problems:


 When the compression measurement is normal, the compression builds up quickly and evenly to
specified compression on each cylinder
 When low compression is caused by the piston rings, compression is low on the first stroke and
tends to build up on the following strokes, but does not reach normal. Compression improves
considerably with the addition of oil. Use approximately three squirts of oil from a plunger-type
oiler.
 When low compression is caused by the valves, the measurement is low on the first stroke and does
not build up even with the addition of oil.
 Leaking head gaskets will provide the same results as worn valves but engine coolant may be
identified in the crankcase. In addition, a leaking head gasket will give low readings on paired

 J 42038 Camshaft Holding Fixture
 J 43032 Crankshaft Rotation Socket

Setting the camshaft timing is necessary whenever the camshaft drive system has been disturbed such that the
relationship between any chain and sprocket has been lost. Even when only one sprocket is involved the
following procedure should be observed since one crankshaft rotation will not provide conditions where correct
timing can be confirmed.

The camshafts, crankshaft and balance shaft events are correctly timed when the relationships shown exist. The
following procedure explains how to establish this condition.

1. Remove the following components for access:


 The left camshaft cover, Refer to Camshaft Cover Replacement - Left .

 The right camshaft cover. Refer to Camshaft Cover Replacement - Right .

 The primary camshaft drive chain tensioner. Refer to Primary Camshaft Drive Chain Tensioner

 The primary camshaft drive chain tensioner shoe. Refer to Primary Camshaft Drive Chain

2. Ensure the following components are positioned accordingly:
 The crankshaft is at TDC of the # 1 cylinder compression stroke.

 The 4 camshaft drive pin notches upward.

3. Use an open end wrench on the hex cast into the camshaft to aid in the installation of the J 42038.

WARNING: The camshaft holding tools must be installed on the camshafts to


prevent camshaft rotation. When performing service to the valve
train and /or timing components, valve spring pressure can cause
the camshafts to rotate unexpectedly and can cause personal injury

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


CRANKCASE VENTILATION SYSTEM INSPECTION/DESCRIPTION

2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
2002 ENGINE Engine Mechanical - Aurora 3.5L

Fig. 458: Identifying PCV Valve

A crankcase ventilation system is used to consume crankcase vapors created during the combustion process
instead of venting them to atmosphere.

Fresh air is supplied through a filter to the crankcase, the crankcase mixes the fresh air with the blow-by gases
and then passed through a positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve into the intake manifold.

The PCV valve controls the flow rate of the blow-by gases based on intake manifold vacuum. To maintain idle
quality, the PCV valve (1) restricts the flow when inlet vacuum is high. If abnormal operating conditions arise,
the system is designed to allow excessive amounts of blow-by gases to back flow through the crankcase vent
tube into the throttle body in order to be consumed by normal combustion.

DRIVE BELT SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The drive belt system consists of the following components:

 The drive belt


 The drive belt tensioner
 The drive belt idler pulley

Microsoft
Friday, March 12, 2010 12:22:48 PM Page 486 © 2005 Mitchell Repair Information Company, LLC.
2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
2002 ENGINE Engine Mechanical - Aurora 3.5L

 The crankshaft balancer pulley


 The accessory drive component mounting brackets
 The accessory drive components
 The power steering pump, if belt driven

 The generator

 The A/C compressor, if equipped

 The engine cooling fan, if belt driven

 The water pump, if belt driven

 The vacuum pump, if equipped

 The air compressor, if equipped

The drive belt system may use 1 belt or 2 belts. The drive belt is thin so that it can bend backwards and has
several ribs to match the grooves in the pulleys. There also may be a V-belt style belt used to drive certain
accessory drive components. The drive belts are made of different types of rubbers - chloroprene or EPDM -
and have different layers or plys containing either fiber cloth or cords for reinforcement.

Both sides of the drive belt may be used to drive the different accessory drive components. When the back side
of the drive belt is used to drive a pulley, the pulley is smooth.

The drive belt is pulled by the crankshaft balancer pulley across the accessory drive component pulleys. The
spring loaded drive belt tensioner keeps constant tension on the drive belt to prevent the drive belt from
slipping. The drive belt tensioner arm will move when loads are applied to the drive belt by the accessory drive
components and the crankshaft.

The drive belt system may have an idler pulley, which is used to add wrap to the adjacent pulleys. Some
systems use an idler pulley in place of an accessory drive component when the vehicle is not equipped with the
accessory.

TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT

 Special tools are listed and illustrated throughout this section with a complete listing at the end of the
section. These tools (or their equivalents) are specially designed to quickly and safely accomplish the
operations for which they are intended. The use of these special tools will also minimize possible damage
to engine components. Some precision measuring tools are required for inspection of certain critical
components. Torque wrenches and a torque angle meter are necessary for the proper tightening of various
fasteners.
 To properly service the engine assembly, the following items should be readily available:
 Approved eye protection and safety gloves

 A clean, well-lit, work area

 A suitable parts cleaning tank

 A compressed air supply

 Trays or storage containers to keep parts and fasteners organized

 An adequate set of hand tools

Setting Camshaft Timing


Tools Required

• J 39946 Crankshaft Rotation Socket


• J 39411 Flywheel Holder

Setting the camshaft timing is necessary whenever the camshaft drive system has been disturbed
such that the relationship between any chain and sprocket has been lost. Even when only one
sprocket is involved the following procedure should be observed since one crankshaft rotation will
not provide conditions where correct timing can be confirmed.

The camshafts and crankshaft events are correctly timed when the relationships shown exist. The
following procedure explains how to establish this condition. Correct timing exists when the crank
sprocket and the intermediate shaft sprocket have their timing marks aligned and all four camshaft
drive pins are perpendicular (90 degrees) to the cylinder head surface.

1. Remove the following components for access:


• The left camshaft cover. Refer toCamshaft Cover Replacement (Left) .
• The right camshaft cover. Refer toCamshaft Cover Replacement (Right) .
• The front cover. Refer toEngine Front Cover Replacement .
• The three chain tensioners (the tensioners may be in their installed positions but must be
fully retracted).
• The oil pump. Refer toOil Pump Replacement .

2. The primary and secondary chain guides should be reinstalled if previously removed.
3. Rotate the crankshaft until the sprocket drive key is at approximately the 1 o'clock position.
UseJ 39946 to rotate the crankshaft.

Document ID: 57182 Page 2 of 3

4. Install the crankshaft and the intermediate shaft sprockets to the primary drive chain with
their timing marks adjacent to each other.
5. Install the crank and intermediate sprockets over their respective shafts.
6. Rotate the crankshaft as necessary to engage the crankshaft key in the sprocket without
changing the relationship of the timing marks to each other. UseJ 39946 to rotate the
crankshaft.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the
correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners
requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service
procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint
surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and
may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when
installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

7. Install the intermediate sprocket retainer bolt.

Tighten
Tighten the bolt to 60 N·m (44 lb ft).

8. Install the primary chain tensioner or release the tensioner shoe.

9. Install flywheel holderJ 39411 to lock crankshaft in this position. If the engine is on a stand,
an alternate method should be devised.
10. Route the secondary drive chain for the LH cylinder head over the inner row of intermediate
shaft teeth.

Important: The RE camshaft sprocket must contain the camshaft position sensor pick-up.

11. Route the secondary drive chain over the chain guide and install the exhaust camshaft
sprocket to the chain such that the camshaft drive pin engages the sprocket notch marked LE
(left head exhaust). There should be no slack in the lower section of the chain and the
camshaft drive pin must be perpendicular to the cylinder head face.

Document ID: 57182 Page 3 of 3

12. Install the intake camshaft sprocket into the chain so that the sprocket notch marked LI (left
head intake) engages the camshaft drive pin while the pin remains perpendicular to the
cylinder head face. A hex is cast into the camshafts behind the lobes for cylinder -1 (or -2,
LH) so that an open end wrench may be used to provide minor repositioning of the
camshafts.
13. Loosely install the exhaust camshaft sprocket retainer bolt.
14. Loosely install the intake camshaft sprocket retainer bolt.
15. Install the chain tensioner or release the tension on the shoe.

the valve lifters:
• Cylinder number
• Follow the cylinder number with I for intake or E for exhaust
• Valve number, 1 or 2, from the front of the engine
• For example, 3E1 would be defined as number three cylinder, first exhaust valve from the
front of the engine.
3. Prepare a clean piece of cardboard to place the lifters on.
4. Remove the lifters and place them on the cardboard.
5. Secure the cardboard and the followers in order to prevent damage or contamination.

Piston, Piston Pin, and Connecting Rod Disassemble

1. Using a small screwdriver, pry out the piston pin retainers by using the removal access notch
in the side of the piston.

Important: Be careful not to nick or gouge the piston or the retaining ring groove with the
screwdriver if you plan to reuse the piston.

2. Slide the piston pin out of the piston. The piston will disconnect from the connecting rod.

Notice: You must use a piston ring expander to remove and install the piston rings. Only
expand the rings far enough to fit over the piston lands. If the rings are overexpanded, the
top ring will shatter and the others will distort.

3. Remove the piston rings using a piston ring expander. Place each ring in a clean shop towel

6. Measure the piston ring end gap using the following procedure:
6.1. Place the piston ring in the area of the bore where the piston ring will travel
(approximately 25 mm or 1 inch down from the deck surface). Be sure the ring is
square with the cylinder bore by positioning the ring with the piston head.
6.2. Measure the end gap of the piston ring with feeler gages. Compare the measurements
with those provided below:
• The top compression ring end gap should be 0.25-0.40 mm (0.010-0.016 in).
• The second compression ring end gap should be 0.35-0.50 mm (0.014-0.020 in).
• The oil ring end gap should be 0.25-0.76 mm (0.010-0.030 in).
6.3. If the clearance exceeds the provided specifications, the piston rings must be replaced.
6.4. Repeat the procedure for all the piston rings.

Document ID: 54933 Page 3 of 3

7. Measure the piston ring side clearance using the following procedure:
7.1. Roll the piston ring entirely around the piston ring groove. If any binding is caused by
the ring groove, dress the groove with a fine file. If any binding is caused by a
distorted piston ring, replace the ring.
7.2. With the piston ring on the piston, use feeler gages to check clearance at multiple
locations.
7.3. The clearance between the surface of the piston ring and the ring land should be no
greater than 0.095 mm (0.004 in).
7.4. If the clearance is greater than specifications, replace the piston rings.
8. When replacing the piston rings, only install re-ring sets that have a 1.2 mm thick nitrided
steel upper compression ring and multi-piece oil rings. The top compression ring may be
installed with either side up. There is a locating dimple on the 2nd compression ring near the
end for identification of the top side. Install the 2nd compression ring with the dimple facing
up.
9. If the new ring does not reduce the clearance to 0.04 mm (0.002 in.) or less, install a new
piston.

10. Measure piston width using the following procedure:


10.1. Using an outside micrometer, measure the width of the piston 50 mm below the
crown (top) of the piston at the thrust surface which is perpendicular to the centerline
of the piston pin.
10.2. Compare the measurement of the piston to its original cylinder by subtracting the
piston width from the cylinder diameter.
10.3. The proper clearance specification for the piston is 0.020-0.051 mm (0.0007-
0.0020 in).
11. If the clearance obtained through measurement is greater than these specifications and the
cylinder bores are within specification, replace the piston.

Valve Spring Inspection and Measurement


Valve Guide Clearance

1. Check the valve stem to guide clearance using a hole gage and an outside micrometer.
2. Measure the valve guide inside diameter with a hole gage, crossways to the engine, at both
the top and 10 mm (0.39 in) up from the bottom of the guide, measuring gage each time
with micrometer. A standard size valve guide is 5.979 mm (0.235 in).
3. Measure the valve stem diameter with the micrometer and subtract from the greater of two
guide measurements to obtain the maximum clearance.
4. If the clearance is greater than 0.12 mm (0.0005 in) and a new standard diameter valve
stem will not bring the clearance within specifications, the cylinder head must be replaced.
5. Valve guide wear at the bottom 10 mm (0.39 in) of the valve guide is not significant to
normal operation.

Valve and Seat Grinding

1. In order to determine valve stem height, measure the distance from the valve spring seat to
the tip of the valve. The specifications for the valve stem height are as follows:
• Intake valve: 35.30-36.92 mm nominal, 37.17 mm maximum
• Exhaust valve: 33.85-35.38 mm nominal, 35.63 mm maximum
2. If the maximum length specification is exceeded, the valve or the cylinder head must be
replaced.
3. Measure the valve seat width. The specifications for seat width are as follows:
• Intake valve seat width: 0.450-0.850 mm (0.017-0.033 in)
• Exhaust valve seat width: 0.700-1.100 mm (0.027-0.043

4. If the valve seat width is beyond these specifications, you must grind the seats in order to
ensure proper heat dissipation and in order to prevent the build up of carbon on the seats.

http://localhost:9001/si/showDoc.do?docSyskey=54943&pubCellSyskey=42548&pubObj... 12/15/2010
Document ID: 54943 Page 2 of 4

Use the following procedure:


4.1. Grind the valve seats with a 46° grinding stone. Use 20° and 65° grinding stones in
order to narrow the seat.
4.2. Narrow the valve seat width to 0.065 mm (0.025 in) for the intake valve seat and
0.900 mm (0.035 in) for the exhaust valve seat.
4.3. When grinding the valves and seats, grind off as little material as possible.
5. If the valve seat widths are acceptable, check the valve seat roundness.
6. The roundness should be within 0.10 mm (0.004 in) total, as measured with a dial indicator
and a solid, slightly tapered pilot which has a slight bind in the valve guide when installed.
7. If the valve seats exceed the roundness specification, grind the valve seats to within
0.05 mm (0.002 in) indicator reading when new valves are being installed, or if the
roundness, seat width, or full contact of the valves is within specification.
8. Grind the valves at a 45° angle.
9. Install the refaced valve in the cylinder head.

10. Measure the valve margin. The specifications for minimum valve margin are as follows:
• Intake valve margin: 0.127 mm (0.005 in)
• Exhaust valve margin: 0.762 mm (0.030 in)
11. If the valves are below this specification, replace the valves.
12. If you are using refaced valves, lap the valves into the seats with a fine grinding compound.
The refacing and reseating operations should leave the refinished surfaces smooth and true
so that minimal lapping is required. Excessive lapping will groove the valve face and prevent
a good seat when hot.
13. If you are using new valves, do not lap the valves under any condition.

http://localhost:9001/si/showDoc.do?docSyskey=54943&pubCellSyskey=42548&pubObj... 12/15/2010
Document ID: 54943 Page 3 of 4

14. Test the valves for seat concentricity and tight seating using the following procedure:
14.1. Coat the valve face(3) lightly with Prussian blue, or equivalent.
14.2. Turn the valve against the seat(2).
14.3. If the valve face is concentric with the valve stem, a mark will be made all around the
face(3). If the face is not concentric with the stem, a mark will be made on only one
side of the face.
14.4. Coat the valve seat lightly with Prussian blue, or equivalent.
14.5. Rotate the valve against the seat to determine if the valve seat is concentric with the
valve guide and if the valve is seating all the way around.
14.6. Both of these tests are necessary in order to prove that a proper seat is obtained.

Valve Spring Load Measurement

Document ID: 54943 Page 4 of 4

1. Measure the valve spring tension. Specifications for the valve spring tension are as follows:
• Valve Closed: 205 N (46 lb) @ 30.3 mm (1.19 in)
• Valve Open: 409 N (91 lbs) @ 21.7 mm (0.854 in)
2. If low valve spring load is found, replace the valve springs. DO NOT use shims to increase
spring load. The use of shims will cause the valve spring to bottom out before the camshaft
lobe is at peak lift.

Thread Repair (Cylinder Head/Main Cap Bolts)

Tools Required

• J-42385-500 Thread Repair Kit


• J 43965 Thread Repair Extension Kit

The thread repair process involves a solid, thin walled, self-locking, carbon steel, bushing type
insert. During the insert installation process, the installation driver tool cold-rolls the bottom
internal threads and expands the bottom external threads of the insert into the base material. This
action mechanically locks the insert into place.

The drill bit and counter bore tool from the tool kit J-42385-500 is designed for use with either a
suitable tap wrench or drill motor. Limited access and larger hole repair may process better using a
tap wrench. An extension from kit J 43965 may also be necessary to drive the thread repair tooling
dependent on access to the hole being repaired. Use only a tap wrench when tapping the hole and
during installation of the insert.

Document ID: 2070586 Page 2 of 52

It is critical that the drilling, counterboring and tapping of the hole to be repaired follows the same
centerline as the original hole.

During the drilling and tapping of the hole being repaired ensure the tooling is consistently
machining perpendicular to the surface of the base material.

http://localhost:9001/si/showDoc.do?docSyskey=2070586&pubCellSyskey=42443&pub... 12/15/2010

Fuel System Specifications


Fuel (Premium Required)
The following information appears in the General Motors Owner's Manual for this vehicle.

Use premium unleaded gasoline rated at 91 octane or higher. At a minimum, it should meet
specifications ASTM D4814 in the United States and CGSB 3.5-M93 in Canada. Improved gasoline
specifications have been developed by the American Automobile Manufacturers Association (AAMA)
for better vehicle performance and engine protection. Gasoline meeting the AAMA specification
could provide improved driveability and emission control system protection compared to other
gasoline.

Be sure the posted octane for premium is at least 91. If the octane is less than 91, you may get a
heavy knocking noise when you drive. In an emergency, you may be able to use a lower octane, as
low as 87, if heavy knocking does not occur. If you are using 91 or higher octane unleaded
gasoline and you still hear heavy knocking, your engine needs service.

If your vehicle is certified to meet California Emission Standards, indicated on the underhood tune-
up label, it is designed to operate on fuels that meet California specifications. If such fuels are not
available in states adopting California emissions standards, your vehicle will operate satisfactorily
on fuels meeting federal specifications, but emission control system performance may be affected.
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on your instrument panel may turn ON and/or your vehicle
may fail a smog-check test. If this occurs, return to a qualified service outlet for diagnosis to
determine the cause of failure. In the event it is determined that the cause of the condition is the
type of fuels used, repairs may not be covered by your warranty.

Some gasolines that are not reformulated for low emissions contain an octane-enhancing additive
called methylcyclopentadlenyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT); ask your service station operator
whether or not this fuel contains MMT. General Motors does not recommend the use of such
gasolines. If fuels containing MMT are used, spark plug life may be reduced and your emission
control system performance may be affected. The MIL on your instrument panel may turn ON. If
this occurs, return to a qualified service outlet for service.

Notice: Your vehicle was not designed for fuel that contains methanol. Do not use methanol fuel
which can corrode metal parts in your fuel system and also damage plastic and rubber parts. This
kind of damage would not be covered under your warranty.

To provide cleaner air, all gasolines in the United States are now required to contain additives that
will help prevent deposits from forming in your engine and fuel system, allowing your emission
control system to function properly. Therefore, you should not have to add anything to the fuel. In
addition, gasolines containing oxygenates, such as ethers and ethanol, and reformulated gasolines
may be available in your area to help clean the air. General Motors recommends that you use these
gasolines if they comply with the specifications described earlier.

Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn


The crankshaft position system variation compensating values are stored in the PCM non-volatile
memory after a learn procedure has been performed. If the actual crankshaft position system
variation is not within the crankshaft position system variation compensating values stored in the
powertrain control module (PCM), DTC P0300 may set. Refer to Diagnostic Aids in DTC P0300 .

The crankshaft position system variation learn procedure should be performed if any of the
following conditions are true:

• DTC P1336 is not set.


• The PCM has been replaced.
• The PCM has been reprogrammed.
• The engine has been replaced.
• The crankshaft has been replaced.
• The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor has been replaced.

Caution: Before performing the Crankshaft Position System Variation Learning Procedure always
set the vehicle parking brake and block the drive wheels in order to prevent personal injury.
Release the throttle immediately when the engine starts to decelerate in order to eliminate over
revving the engine. Once the learn procedure is completed, the control module will return engine
control to the operator and the engine will respond to the throttle position.

Important: The scan tool crankshaft position system variation learn function will be inhibited if the
engine coolant temperature is less than 70°C (158°F). Allow the engine to warm to at least 70°C
(158F) before attempting the Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn procedure.

The crankshaft position system variation learn function will be inhibited if any powertrain DTCs
other than DTC P1336 are set before or during the crankshaft position system variation learn
procedure. Diagnose and repair any DTCs, if set.

1. Set the parking brake.


2. Block the drive wheels.
3. Close the hood.
4. Start the engine and allow engine coolant temperature to reach at least 70°C (158°F).
5. Turn OFF the engine, then turn the key to ON.
6. Select and enable the crankshaft position variation learn procedure with the scan tool.
7. Start the engine.
8. Wait until instructed by the scan tool, then apply the brake pedal firmly.
9. Ensure that the transaxle is in Park.
10. Increase accelerator pedal position until the CKP system variation learn fuel cut-off is
reached at 4050 RPM. Release the accelerator pedal after the second fuel cut-off is reached.
11. The crankshaft position system variation compensating values are learned when the RPM
decreases back to idle. If the procedure terminates, refer to the Important above for
instructions.
12. Observe the DTC status for DTC P1336.
13. If the scan tool indicates that DTC P1336 ran and passed, the crankshaft position system
variation learn procedure is complete.
14. Use the scan tool to clear any DTCs. DTC P1336 will not automatically clear after a successful

learn procedure. DTC P1336 will not clear from memory if the learn procedure was
unsucessful.

If the scan tool indicates that DTC P1336 failed or did not run, recheck for other DTCs that may
have set during the procedure. If no DTCs other than P1336 are set, repeat the crankshaft position
system variation learn procedure. If the learn procedure will not pass, a mechanical engine
problem may exist.

Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) System Cleaning


Caution: Avoid breathing fumes and swallowing EGR exhaust deposits when removing components
for cleaning as bodily injury may result.

Whenever the EGR valve is removed the EGR system should be inspected and cleaned if necessary.
This will ensure that the EGR system will function properly under all operating conditions. Proper
EGR system service consists of the following 5 steps:

1. EGR system diagnosis. Diagnosis of the EGR system should be performed if PCM DTCs are
set .
2. EGR valve pipe cleaning and checking for leaks. Clean and check the EGR pipe from the
exhaust manifold to the EGR valve and the EGR pipe from the water pump crossover to the
throttle body spacer. Refer to Exhaust Gas Recirculation Pipe Replacement .
3. EGR valve cleaning. If the EGR system is operating correctly, the EGR valve can be removed,
checked for deposits, cleaned, and re-installed. Use the procedure below for this operation.
3.1. Remove the EGR valve from the engine. Refer to Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve
Replacement .
3.2. While holding the EGR valve in your hand, use a pencil eraser or other suitable soft
instrument to depress the pintle several times. The pintle should move in and out
smoothly. Replace any valve that exhibits tendencies to stick.
3.3. While holding the EGR valve base in your hand, try to rotate the connector housing.
Repeat for the coil housing. Replace any valve that exhibits looseness.
3.4. Inspect the EGR valve pintle and seat for deposits. Use a cloth or other suitable soft
device to remove deposits. Remove all loose particles. If the deposits are such that
pintle/base interface cannot be cleaned adequately to allow the pintle to seal against
the seat, replace the valve. Damage to the powdered metal EGR valve base will occur if
cleaned with solvents, sharp tools, a wire brush or wheel, or by sand blasting. Cleaning
by these methods is not recommended.
3.5. Inspect the passage in the water crossover assembly for deposits. Remove all loose
particles.
3.6. Replace EGR valve on the engine using a new gasket. Refer to Exhaust Gas
Recirculation Valve Replacement .

• Do not hammer directly on the fuel harness body clips when installing new fuel pipes.
Damage to the nylon pipes may result in a fuel leak.
• Always cover nylon vapor pipes with a wet towel before using a torch near them. Also, never
expose the vehicle to temperatures higher than 115°C (239°F) for more than one hour, or
more than 90°C (194°F) for any extended period.
• Apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the male pipe ends before connecting fuel pipe
fittings. This will ensure proper reconnection and prevent a possible fuel leak. (During normal
operation, the O-rings located in the female connector will swell and may prevent proper
reconnection if not lubricated.)

Notice: Always re-attach the fuel lines and fuel filter with all original type fasteners and hardware.

Do not repair sections of fuel pipes.

Notice:
• Secure the fuel pipes to the frame in order to prevent chafing. Maintain a minimum of 13 mm
(½ inch) clearance around a pipe in order to prevent contact and chafing. Maintain a
minimum of 19 mm (¾ inch) around any moving part.
• Do not allow the fuel pipes to come into contact with the fuel tank or underbody.

Notice: Replace the EVAP pipes and hoses with the original equipment or parts that meet the GM
specifications for those parts. The replacement EVAP pipe must have the same type of fittings as
the original pipe in order to ensure the integrity of the connection. When replacing EVAP hoses, use
only reinforced fuel-resistant hose identified with the word Fluoroelastomer or GM 6163-M on the
hose. The inside hose diameter must match the outside pipe diameter. Do not use rubber hose
within 100 mm (4 in) of any part of the exhaust system or within 254 mm (10 in) of the catalytic
converter.

Notice: Do not attempt to straighten any kinked nylon fuel lines. Replace any kinked nylon fuel
feed or return pipes in order to prevent damage to the vehicle.

Powertrain Control Module Replacement


Service of the powertrain control module (PCM) should normally consist of either replacement of
the PCM or electronically eraseable programmable read only memory (EEPROM) programming. If
the diagnostic procedures call for PCM replacement, check the PCM first to see if the PCM is the
correct part. If the PCM is faulty, remove the PCM and install the new service PCM.

The new service PCM will not be programmed. You must program the new PCM. DTC P0602
indicates the EEPROM is not programmed or has malfunctioned.

Notice: In order to prevent possible electrostatic discharge damage to the PCM, do not touch the
connector pins or soldered components on the circuit board.

There are no user serviceable parts in this PCM. The PCM should never be opened for any reason.

Notice: Turn the ignition OFF when installing or removing the PCM connectors and disconnecting or
reconnecting the power to the PCM (battery cable, PCM pigtail, PCM fuse, jumper cables, etc.) in
order to prevent internal PCM damage.

Important: When replacing the production PCM with a service PCM, transfer the broadcast code
and production PCM number to the service PCM label. Do not record the information on the PCM
cover. This will allow positive identification of the PCM parts throughout the service life of the
vehicle.

Removal Procedure
Important: It is necessary to record the remaining engine oil life. If the replacement module
is not programed with the remaining engine oil life, the engine oil life will default to 100%. If
the replacement module is not programmed with the remaining engine oil life, the engine oil
will need to be changed at 5000 km (3,000 mi) from the last engine oil change.

1. Using a scan tool, retrieve the percentage of remaining engine oil. Record the remaining
engine oil life.

l Inspect the insulator (2) for flashover or carbon tracking, soot. This is caused by the
electrical charge traveling across the insulator (2) between the terminal post (1) and ground.
Inspect for the following conditions:
- Inspect the spark plug boot for damage.
- Inspect the spark plug recess area of the cylinder head for moisture, such as oil, coolant, or
water. A spark plug boot that is saturated causes arcing to ground.

l Inspect the insulator (2) for cracks. All or part of the electrical charge may arc through the
crack instead of the electrodes (3, 4).

l Inspect for evidence of improper arcing.


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

Spark Plug Visual Inspection


• l Normal operation--Brown to grayish-tan with small amounts of white powdery deposits are
normal combustion by-products from fuels with additives.
• l Carbon Fouled--Dry, fluffy black carbon, or soot caused by the following conditions:
- Rich fuel mixtures
• Leaking fuel injectors

http://localhost:9001/si/showDoc.do?docSyskey=682163&pubCellSyskey=24798&pubO... 10/15/2014
Document ID: 682163 Page 4 of 4

• Excessive fuel pressure


• Restricted air filter element
• Incorrect combustion
- Reduced ignition system voltage output
• Weak coils
• Worn ignition wires
• Incorrect spark plug gap
- Excessive idling or slow speeds under light loads can keep spark plug temperatures so low
that normal combustion deposits may not burn off.
• l Deposit Fouling--Oil, coolant, or additives that include substances such as silicone, very
white coating, reduces the spark intensity. Most powdery deposits will not effect spark
intensity unless they form into a glazing over the electrode.

Spark Plug Replacement


Tools Required
J 43094 Spark Plug Boot Puller

Removal Procedure
1. Turn OFF the ignition switch.
2. Remove the ignition coil assembly. Refer to Ignition Coil Replacement in Engine Controls-
3.5L.
3. Use the J 43094 in order to remove the spark plug boots from the spark plugs.

Notice: Allow the engine to cool before removing the spark plugs. Attempting to remove the
spark plugs from a hot engine may cause the plug threads to seize, causing damage to
cylinder head threads.

Notice: Clean the spark plug recess area before removing the spark plug. Failure to do so
could result in engine damage because of dirt or foreign material entering the cylinder head,
or by the contamination of the cylinder head threads. The contaminated threads may prevent
the proper seating of the new plug. Use a thread chaser to clean the threads of any
contamination.

4. Remove the spark plugs from the engine.

Installation Procedure
Notice: Use only the spark plugs specified for use in the vehicle. Do not install spark plugs

Document ID: 682170 Page 2 of 2

that are either hotter or colder than those specified for the vehicle. Installing spark plugs of
another type can severely damage the engine.

Notice: Check the gap of all new and reconditioned spark plugs before installation. The pre-
set gaps may have changed during handling. Use a round feeler gage to ensure an accurate
check. Installing the spark plugs with the wrong gap can cause poor engine performance and
may even damage the engine.

1. Measure the spark plug gap on the spark plugs to be installed. Compare the measurement to
the gap specifications. Refer to Ignition System Specifications . Correct as necessary.

Notice: Be sure that the spark plug threads smoothly into the cylinder head and the spark
plug is fully seated. Use a thread chaser, if necessary, to clean threads in the cylinder head.
Cross-threading or failing to fully seat the spark plug can cause overheating of the plug,
exhaust blow-by, or thread damage.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the
correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners
requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service
procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint
surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and
may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when
installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

2. Install the spark plugs to the engine.

Tighten
Tighten the spark plug to 20 N·m (15 lb ft).

3. Install the spark plug boots to the ignition coil assembly.


4. Install the ignition coil assembly. Refer to Ignition Coil Replacement in Engine Controls-3.5L.

Fuel System Specifications


Fuel (Premium Required)
The following information appears in the General Motors Owner's Manual for this vehicle.

Use premium unleaded gasoline rated at 91 octane or higher. At a minimum, it should meet
specifications ASTM D4814 in the United States and CGSB 3.5-M93 in Canada. Improved gasoline
specifications have been developed by the American Automobile Manufacturers Association (AAMA)
for better vehicle performance and engine protection. Gasolines meeting the AAMA specification
could provide improved driveability and emission control system protection compared to other
gasolines.

Be sure the posted octane for premium is at least 91. If the octane is less than 91, you may get a
heavy knocking noise when you drive. (In an emergency, you may be able to use a lower octane --
as low as 87 - if heavy knocking does not occur. If you are using 91 or higher octane unleaded
gasoline and you still hear heavy knocking, your engine needs service.

If your vehicle is certified to meet California Emission Standards (indicated on the underhood tune-
up label), it is designed to operate on fuels that meet California specifications. If such fuels are not
available in states adopting California emissions standards, your vehicle will operate satisfactorily
on fuels meeting federal specifications, but emission control system performance may be affected.
The malfunction indicator lamp on your instrument panel may turn on and/or your vehicle may fail
a smog-check test. If this occurs, return to a qualified service outlet for diagnosis to determine the
cause of failure. In the event it is determined that the cause of the condition is the type of fuels
used, repairs may not be covered by your warranty.

Some gasolines that are not reformulated for low emissions contain an octane-enhancing additive
called methylcyclopentadlenyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT); ask your service station operator
whether or not this fuel contains MMT. General Motors does not recommend the use of such
gasolines. If fuels containing MMT are used, spark plug life may be reduced and your emission
control system performance may be affected. The malfunction indicator lamp on your instrument
panel may turn on. If this occurs, return to a qualified service outlet for service.

To provide cleaner air, all gasolines in the United States are now required to contain additives that
will help prevent deposits from forming in your engine and fuel system, allowing your emission
control system to function properly. Therefore, you should not have to add anything to the fuel. In
addition, gasolines containing oxygenates, such as ethers and ethanol, and reformulated gasolines
may be available in your area to help clean the air. General Motors recommends that you use these
gasolines if they comply with the specifications described earlier.

Notice: Your vehicle was not designed for fuel that contains methanol. Do not use methanol fuel
which can corrode metal parts in your fuel system and also damage plastic and rubber parts. This
kind of damage would not be covered under your warranty.

Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn


After the powertrain control module (PCM) learns the amount of crankshaft position (CKP) system
variation, the PCM stores the compensating values in the non-volatile area of the electrically
erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM). If the amount of crankshaft variation is
outside the stored values, DTC P0300 may set. Refer to Diagnostic Aids for DTC P0300.

Perform the Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn Procedure for any of the following
conditions:

• DTC P1336 is set


• PCM replacement
• Engine replacement
• Crankshaft replacement
• Crankshaft position sensor replacement
• Any engine repairs which disturbs the crankshaft to crankshaft position sensor relationship

Caution: Before performing the Crankshaft Position System Variation Learning Procedure always
set the vehicle parking brake and block the drive wheels in order to prevent personal injury.
Release the throttle immediately when the engine starts to decelerate in order to eliminate over
revving the engine. Once the learn procedure is completed, the control module will return engine
control to the operator and the engine will respond to the throttle position.

1. Set the parking brake.


2. Block the drive wheels.
3. Ensure the hood is closed.
4. Start the engine and allow engine coolant temperature to reach at least 70°C (158°F).
5. Turn OFF the ignition .
6. Select and enable the crankshaft position variation learn procedure with the scan tool.
7. Start the vehicle.
8. Apply and hold the service brake pedal firmly.
9. Ensure that the transaxle is in park.
10. Increase the accelerator pedal position until the fuel cutoff is reached at 5150 RPM.
Immediately release the accelerator pedal after fuel cutoff is reached.

The crankshaft position system variation compensating values are learned when the RPM
decreases back to idle.

11. Observe the DTC status for DTC P1336.


12. If the scan tool indicates that DTC P1336 ran and passed, the crankshaft position system
variation learn procedure is complete. If the scan tool indicates that DTC P1336 failed or did
not run, check for other DTCs. If no DTCs other than P1336 are set, repeat the crankshaft
position system variation learn procedure as necessary.

Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) System Cleaning


Caution: Avoid breathing fumes and swallowing EGR exhaust deposits when removing components
for cleaning as bodily injury may result.

Whenever the EGR valve is removed, the EGR system should be inspected and cleaned if
necessary. This will ensure that the EGR system will function properly during all operating
conditions. Proper EGR system service consists of the following 5 steps:

1. EGR system diagnosis--Diagnosis of the EGR system should be performed if PCM DTCs are
set . Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List .
2. EGR valve pipe cleaning and checking for leaks--Clean and check the EGR pipe from the
exhaust manifold to the EGR valve and the EGR pipe from the water pump crossover to the
throttle body spacer. Refer to Exhaust Gas Recirculation Pipe Replacement .
3. EGR valve cleaning--If the EGR system is operating correctly, the EGR valve can be removed,
checked for deposits, cleaned, and re-installed. Use the procedure below for this operation:
3.1. Remove the EGR valve from the engine. Refer to Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve
Replacement .
3.2. While holding the EGR valve in your hand, use a pencil eraser or other suitable soft
instrument to depress the pintle several times. The pintle should move in and out
smoothly. Replace any valve that exhibits tendencies to stick.
3.3. While holding the EGR valve base in your hand, try to rotate the connector housing.
Repeat this procedure for the coil housing. Replace any valve that exhibits looseness.
3.4. Inspect the EGR valve pintle and the valve seat for deposits. Use a cloth or other
suitable soft device in order to remove the deposits. Remove all loose particles. If the
deposits are such that pintle/base interface cannot be cleaned adequately to allow the
pintle to seal against the seat, replace the valve. Damage to the powdered metal EGR
valve base will occur if the valve base is cleaned with solvents, sharp tools, a wire
brush or wheel, or by sand blasting. Cleaning by these methods is not recommended.
3.5. Inspect the passage in the water crossover assembly for deposits. Remove all loose
particles.
3.6. Replace EGR valve on the engine using a new gasket. Refer to Exhaust Gas
Recirculation Valve Replacement .

Fuel Tank Draining


Caution: Never drain or store fuel in an open container. Always use an approved fuel storage
container in order to reduce the chance of fire or explosion.

Caution: Drain the fuel tank to at least 3/4 of a tank before removing the fuel sender retaining
ring or fuel sender access panel in order to avoid possible fuel spillage. Failing to follow this
procedure could result in personal injury.

Notice: Drain the fuel tank with a hose which has a 13 mm (0.5 in) or smaller diameter in order to
prevent the drain hose from getting stuck inside the fuel tank filler neck pipe check valve. Damage
to the check valve may result.

Notice: Drain the fuel from the complete system, including injector nozzle(s), the fuel pump, all
fuel pipes, and the fuel tank if a vehicle is to be stored for any appreciable length of time. Draining
the fuel will prevent the formations of fuel system deposits.

1. Relieve the fuel system pressure. Refer to Fuel Pressure Relief .

Powertrain Control Module Programming (On-Board)


Before Programming a Control Module
Important: Do NOT program a control module unless you are directed by a service procedure or
you are directed by a General Motors Corporation service bulletin. Programming a control module
at any other time will not permanently correct a customers concern.

Ensure that the following conditions are met before programming a control module:

• Vehicle system voltage


- There is no charging system concern. All charging system concerns must be repaired before
programming a control module.
- Ensure that the battery voltage is greater than 12 volts but less than 16 volts. If the
battery voltage is low, the battery must be charged before programming the control
module.
- Ensure that a battery charger is NOT connected to the vehicles battery. Incorrect system
voltage, or voltage fluctuations from a battery charger may cause programming failure or
control module damage.
- Turn OFF or disable any system that may put a load on the vehicles battery.
• The twilight sentinel
• The interior lights
• The daytime running lights (DRL). Applying the parking brake, on most vehicles, disables the
DRL system. Refer to the Owners manual.
• The HVAC systems
• The engine cooling fans
• Ensure that the ignition switch is in the proper position. The scan tool prompts you to turn
ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. Do NOT change the position of the ignition switch
during the programming procedure, unless instructed to do so.
• Ensure that all tool connections are secure.
- The RS-232
- The connection at the DLC
- The voltage supply circuits
• DO NOT disturb the tool harnesses while programming. If an interruption occurs during the
programming procedure, programming failure or control module damage may occur.

Spark Plug Inspection


Spark Plug Usage
• Ensure that the correct spark plug is installed. An incorrect spark plug causes driveability
conditions. Refer to Evaporative Emission Control System Description for the correct spark
plug.
• Ensure that the spark plug has the correct heat range. An incorrect heat range causes the
following conditions:
- Spark plug fouling--colder plug
- Pre-ignition causing spark plug and/or engine damage--hotter plug

Spark Plug Inspection


l Inspect the terminal post (1) for damage.


- Inspect for a bent or a broken terminal post (1).
- Test for a loose terminal post (1) by twisting and pulling the post. The terminal post (1)
should NOT move.

© 2014 General Motors Corporation. All rights reserved.

[email protected] 10/15/2014
Document ID: 667832 Page 2 of 4

l Inspect the insulator (2) for flashover, for carbon tracking, and for soot. These conditions
are caused by the electrical charge traveling across the insulator (2) between the terminal
post (1) and the ground. Inspect for the following conditions:
- Inspect the spark plug boot for damage.
- Inspect the spark plug recess area of the cylinder head for moisture, such as oil, coolant, or
water. A spark plug boot that is saturated causes arcing to ground.

l Inspect the insulator (2) for cracks. All or part of the electrical charge may arc through the
crack instead of the electrodes (3, 4).

http://localhost:9001/si/showDoc.do?docSyskey=667832&pubCellSyskey=26613&pubO... 10/15/2014
Document ID: 667832 Page 3 of 4

l Inspect for evidence of improper arcing.


- Measure the gap between the center electrode (4) and the side electrode (3) terminals. Refer
to Evaporative Emission Control System Description . . An excessively wide electrode gap can
prevent correct spark plug operation.
- Inspect for the correct spark plug torque. Refer to Evaporative Emission Control System
Description . Insufficient torque can prevent correct spark plug operation. An over torqued
spark plug, causes the insulator (2) to crack.
- Inspect for signs of tracking that occurred near the insulator tip instead of the center
electrode (4).
- Inspect for a broken or worn side electrode (3).
- Inspect for a broken, worn, or loose center electrode (4) by shaking the spark plug.
• A rattling sound indicates internal damage.
• A loose center electrode (4) reduces the spark intensity.
- Inspect for bridged electrodes (3, 4). Deposits on the electrodes (3, 4) reduce or eliminate the
gap.
- Inspect for worn or missing platinum pads on the electrodes (3, 4), if equipped.
- Inspect for excessive fouling.
• l Inspect the spark plug recess area of the cylinder head for debris. Dirty or damaged
threads can cause the spark plug to not seat correctly during installation.

Spark Plug Visual Inspection


• Normal operation--Brown to grayish-tan with small amounts of white powdery deposits are
normal combustion by-products from fuels with additives.
• Carbon Fouled--Dry, fluffy black carbon, or soot caused by the following conditions:
- Rich fuel mixtures
• Leaking fuel injectors

[email protected] 10/15/2014
Document ID: 667832 Page 4 of 4

• Excessive fuel pressure


• Restricted air filter element
• Incorrect combustion
- Reduced ignition system voltage output
• Weak coils
• Worn ignition wires
• Incorrect spark plug gap
- Excessive idling or slow speeds during light loads can keep spark plug temperatures so low
that normal combustion deposits may not burn off.
• Deposit Fouling--Oil, coolant, or additives that include substances such as silicone, or very
white coating, reduce the spark intensity. Most powdery deposits will not affect the spark
intensity unless the substances form into a glazing over the electrode.

Spark Plug Replacement


Tools Required
J 43094 Spark Plug Boot Puller

Removal Procedure
1. Turn OFF the ignition switch.
2. Remove the ignition coil assembly. Refer to Ignition Coil Replacement - Bank 2 or Ignition
Coil Replacement - Bank 1 .
3. Use the J 43094 in order to remove the spark plug boots from the spark plugs.

Notice: Allow the engine to cool before removing the spark plugs. Attempting to remove the
spark plugs from a hot engine may cause the plug threads to seize, causing damage to
cylinder head threads.

Notice: Clean the spark plug recess area before removing the spark plug. Failure to do so
could result in engine damage because of dirt or foreign material entering the cylinder head,
or by the contamination of the cylinder head threads. The contaminated threads may prevent
the proper seating of the new plug. Use a thread chaser to clean the threads of any
contamination.

4. Remove the spark plugs from the engine.

Installation Procedure
Notice: Use only the spark plugs specified for use in the vehicle. Do not install spark plugs
that are either hotter or colder than those specified for the vehicle. Installing spark plugs of
another type can severely damage the engine.

Notice: Check the gap of all new and reconditioned spark plugs before installation. The pre-
set gaps may have changed during handling. Use a round feeler gage to ensure an accurate
check. Installing the spark plugs with the wrong gap can cause poor engine performance and
may even damage the engine.

1. Measure the spark plug gap on the spark plugs to be installed. Compare the measurement to
the gap specifications. Refer to Ignition System Specifications . Correct as necessary.

Notice: Be sure that the spark plug threads smoothly into the cylinder head and the spark
plug is fully seated. Use a thread chaser, if necessary, to clean threads in the cylinder head.
Cross-threading or failing to fully seat the spark plug can cause overheating of the plug,
exhaust blow-by, or thread damage.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the
correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners
requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service
procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint

Cooling System Draining and Filling (L47)


Draining Procedure
Caution: As long as there is pressure in the cooling system, the temperature can be considerably
higher than the boiling temperature of the solution in the radiator without causing the solution to
boil. Removal of the pressure cap while the engine is hot and pressure is high will cause the
solution to boil instantaneously -- possibly with explosive force -- spewing the solution over the
engine, fenders and the person removing the cap.

Caution: An electric fan under the hood can start up even when the engine is not running and can
injure you. Keep hands, clothing and tools away from any underhood electric fan.

1. Remove the surge tank pressure cap.


1.1. Clean the cap.
1.2. Pressure test the cap.
1.3. If necessary, replace the cap.
1.4. Clean the surge tank filler neck. Inspect the filler neck.
2. Remove the front air deflector. Refer to Front Air Deflector Replacement in Body Front End.

3. Open the radiator drain at the bottom of the radiator.


4. Completely drain the cooling system.
5. If the coolant is dirty, or if there are deposits in the radiator, flush the cooling system before
refilling. Refer to Flushing .
6. Remove the surge tank. Refer to Radiator Surge Tank Replacement .
6.1. Clean the outside of the surge tank.
6.2. Pour out any fluid.
6.3. Thoroughly clean the inside of the surge tank using soap and water.

Document ID: 641608 Page 2 of 3

6.4. Thoroughly flush the surge tank with clean water and drain.
7. Install the surge tank. Refer to Radiator Surge Tank Replacement .
8. Close the radiator drain.
9. Install the front air deflector. Refer to Front Air Deflector Replacement in Body Front End.

Filling Procedure
Notice: Do not add cold water to the cooling system with the engine at or above operating
temperature. Adding cold water causes rapid cooling, resulting in possible engine damage.

NOTICE: When adding coolant, it is important that you use GM Goodwrench DEX-COOL® or
HAVOLINE® DEX-COOL® coolant. If Coolant other than DEX-COOL® or HAVOLINE® DEX-COOL®
is added to the system the engine coolant will require change sooner; at 50 000 km (30,000 mi) or
24 months.

Notice: Do not use a solution stronger than 70 percent antifreeze. Pure antifreeze can freeze at -
22°C (-8°F).

Notice: This engine uses DEX-COOL® and GM coolant supplement (sealant) P/N 3634621
specifically designed for use in aluminum engines. Failure to use the engine coolant supplement
(sealant) and the approved coolant antifreeze could result in major engine damage. When refilling
the cooling system, add three pellets of the engine coolant supplement sealant GM P/N 3634621 to
the lower radiator hose.

Important: This engine is not equipped with block drains, 2.5 L (2 Qt) of residual coolant remains
in the engine block.

1. Refill the cooling system. In order to ensure sufficient engine cooling, freezing and corrosion
protection, maintain the protection level at -37°C (-34°F) or lower.
2. Start the engine.
3. Place the heater and A/C control in any A/C mode except Max and the temperature in the
highest setting.
4. Allow the engine to continue idling until the lower radiator to water pump hose is hot.
5. Turn OFF the engine.

Cassette Player Care and Cleaning


Tools Required
J 39916-A CD and Cassette Diagnostic Audio Kit

If you do not regularly clean the tape player, the tape player is subject to the following conditions:

• Reduced sound quality


• Ruined cassettes
• A damaged tape mechanism

Cassette tapes may not operate properly if they are not stored in their cases away from the
following conditions:

• Contaminants
• Direct sunlight
• Extreme heat

Cleaning Intervals
Clean the cassette tape player every 15 hours of operation for optimum performance. After you
clean the player, press and hold the EJECT button for five seconds to reset the CLEAN indicator.
The radio will display --- to show that the indicator has been reset.

As a minimum clean the cassette tape player after 50 hours of playing time. This will prevent
damage to the cassette tape player mechanism. The radio may display CLN, CLEAN or CLEAN TAPE
(depending on the family of radio being used), if equipped with the Clean Tape Indicator Feature.
This indicates that you have used the tape player for 50 hours without resetting the tape clean
timer. If this message appears on the display, clean the cassette tape player. The player will still
play tapes, however the player should be cleaned as soon as possible in order to prevent damage
to the tapes and/or the player.

Cassettes are subject to wear and the sound quality may degrade over time. If you notice a
reduction in sound quality, play a different cassette. A new cassette will indicate whether the tape
or the tape player is at fault.

If the sound quality does not improve when the second tape is played, clean the cassette player.
Perform this step regardless of when you last cleaned the cassette player.

If a noticeable improvement is not achieved after cleaning the player, remove the radio assembly
for repair.

Head and Capstan Cleaning


The following two components are cleaned on a tape player:

Document ID: 322068 Page 2 of 2

• The head
• The capstan

Important: Do not contact the tape head with magnetized tools. If the head becomes magnetized,
every cassette played in the player will be degraded.

In order to properly clean a tape player, the preferred method would be to use the cleaning
cassette in J 39916-A

To prevent the cleaning cassette from being ejected, perform the following steps:

1. Turn the ignition switch to one of the following positions (depending on the vehicle line) :
• ON
• RUN
• ACC
• ACCESSORY
2. Turn the radio off.
3. Press and hold the TAPE button for five seconds. The tape symbol on the display will flash for
two seconds.
4. Insert the scrubbing action cleaning cassette.
5. Eject the cleaning cassette after the manufacturer's recommended cleaning time. When the
cleaning cassette has been ejected, the Cut Tape Detection Feature is active again.

The alternative method would be to use a non scrubbing action, wet type cleaning cassette. This
cassette uses a fabric belt to clean the tape head. This type of cleaning cassette will not eject on its
own. A non scrubbing action cassette may not clean as thoroughly as the scrubbing type cleaning
cassette. The use of this cassette is not recommended.

After you clean the player, press and hold the EJECT button for five seconds to reset the CLEAN
indicator. The radio will display --- to show that the indicator has been reset.

Odor Correction
Odors may be emitted from the air conditioning system at startup in hot climates. Debris in the
heater/evaporator case or growth of mold on the evaporator core may cause this odor. A service
kit is available through GM SPO.

A single application of this deodorizer, GM P/N 12377951, will remove the odor from the air
conditioning system. However, to prevent the odor from returning, enabling the blower control
function with the scan tool is recommended. Refer to Afterblow Enabling in HVAC-Automatic.

1. Clear all the debris from the plenum that draws air from the outside.
2. Disconnect the clutch coil. This will disable the A/C compressor clutch operation.
3. Dry the evaporator core by turning the engine on. In addition, run the blower motor on high
and in a recirculating mode, with the temperature control on maximum heat for 10 minutes.

4. Drill an 1/8 inch hole (1) in the HVAC module at the recessed area above the gas pedal as
shown.

Important: Use safety goggles and latex gloves for the following step.

5. Keep the blower motor on high and insert the extension tube of the deodorizer,
GM P/N 12377951, into the hole past the mark on the tube.
6. Spray the area with short bursts. Dispense the contents of the can over a 2-3 minute period.
Vary the direction of the spray into the duct.
7. Turn the engine off.
8. Let the engine sit for 3-5 minutes.
9. Seal the 1/8 inch hole with body sealer or RTV gasket compound.
10. Start the engine and run the fan on high for 15-20 minutes to dry.
11. Reconnect the air conditioning compressor clutch coil and verify the operation.

Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging


Tools Required
J 43600 ACR 2000 Air Conditioning Service Center

Caution: Avoid breathing the A/C Refrigerant 134a (R-134a) and the lubricant vapor or the mist.
Exposure may irritate the eyes, nose, and throat. Work in a well ventilated area. In order to
remove R-134a from the A/C system, use service equipment that is certified to meet the
requirements of SAE J 2210 (R-134a recycling equipment). If an accidental system discharge
occurs, ventilate the work area before continuing service. Additional health and safety information
may be obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.

Caution: For personal protection, goggles and lint-free gloves should be worn and a clean cloth
wrapped around fittings, valves, and connections when doing work that includes opening the
refrigerant system. If refrigerant comes in contact with any part of the body severe frostbite and
personal injury can result. The exposed area should be flushed immediately with cold water and
prompt medical help should be obtained.

Notice: R-134a is the only approved refrigerant for use in this vehicle. The use of any other
refrigerant may result in poor system performance or component failure.

Notice: To avoid system damage use only R-134a dedicated tools when servicing the A/C system.

Notice: Use only Polyalkylene Glycol Synthetic Refrigerant Oil (PAG) for internal circulation
through the R-134a A/C system and only 525 viscosity mineral oil on fitting threads and O-rings. If
lubricants other than those specified are used, compressor failure and/or fitting seizure may result.

Notice: R-12 refrigerant and R-134a refrigerant must never be mixed, even in the smallest of
amounts, as they are incompatible with each other. If the refrigerants are mixed, compressor
failure is likely to occur. Refer to the manufacturer instructions included with the service equipment
before servicing.

The J 43600 is a complete air conditioning service center for R-134a. It recovers, recycles,
evacuates and recharges A/C refrigerant quickly, accurately and automatically. The unit has a
display screen that contains the function controls and displays prompts that will lead the technician
through the operations. A/C refrigerant is recovered into and charged out of an internal storage
vessel. The ACR 2000 automatically replenishes this vessel from an external source tank in order to
maintain a constant 5.45-6.82 kg (12-15 lbs) of A/C refrigerant.

The ACR 2000 has a built--in A/C refrigerant identifier that will test for contamination prior to
recovery and will notify the technician if there are foreign gases present. The unit also features
automatic air purge, single pass recycling and automatic oil drain.

Refer to the J 43600 ACR 2000 manual for operation and setup instruction. Always recharge the
A/C System with the proper amount of R-134a. Refer to Refrigerant System Capacities for the
correct amount.

Hydraulic Brake System Bleeding


Tools Required
• J 29532 Diaphragm Pressure Bleeder
• J 35589-A Brake Pressure Bleeder Adapter

Caution: Do not move the vehicle until a firm brake pedal is obtained. Air in the brake system can
cause loss of brakes with possible personal injury.

Caution: Use only SUPREME 11 or equivalent DOT 3 brake fluid from a clean, sealed container. Do
not use fluid from an open container that may be contaminated with water. Improper or
contaminated fluid will result in damage to components or loss of braking, with possible personal
injury.

Notice: Avoid spilling brake fluid on any of the vehicle's painted surfaces, wiring, cables or
electrical connectors. Brake fluid will damage paint and electrical connections. If any fluid is spilled
on the vehicle, immediately flush the area with water to minimize the potential for damage.

Notice: If any brake component is repaired or replaced such that air is allowed to enter the brake
system, the entire bleeding procedure must be followed.

Notice: Prior to bleeding the brakes, the front and rear displacement cylinder pistons must be
returned to the topmost position. The preferred method uses a Scan Tool to perform the rehoming
procedure. If a Scan Tool is not available, the second procedure may be used, but it is extremely
important that the procedure be followed exactly as outlined.

1. Apply the brakes several times with the engine off to remove the vacuum reserve.
2. Remove the master cylinder reservoir cap. Replace it with the J 35589-A Brake Pressure
Bleeder Adapter.
3. Charge the bleeder to 210-245 kPa (30-35 psi).
4. Connect the hose to the J 35589-A Brake Pressure Bleeder Adapter.
5. Raise the vehicle and support. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.

Document ID: 746295 Page 2 of 2

6. If it is necessary to bleed all of the brake calipers, the following sequence should be used:
6.1. Right rear
6.2. Left rear
6.3. Right front
6.4. Left front
7. Place the proper size box end wrench, or equivalent, over the brake caliper bleed screw.
Attach a clear tube over the screw and allow the tube to hang submerged in a clear container
partially filled with brake fluid.
8. Open the brake caliper bleed screw at least ¾ of a turn and allow the brake fluid flow to
continue until no air is seen in the brake fluid. Apply intermittent pressure to the brake pedal
while pressure bleeding.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the
correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners
requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service
procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint
surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and
may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when
installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

9. Close the brake caliper bleed screw.

Tighten
Tighten the brake caliper bleed screw to 13 N·m (115 lb in).

10. Repeat steps 6 through 8 until all of the calipers have been bled.
11. Lower the vehicle.
12. When pressure bleeding is completed, bleed the brake system using a Scan Tool. Refer to
Antilock Brake System Automated Bleed Procedure in Antilock Brake System.
13. Remove the brake bleeding equipment from the master cylinder.

ISO Flares Replacement


Tools Required
J 29803-A ISO Flaring Kit

Caution: Always use double walled steel brake pipe when replacing brake pipes. The use of any
other pipe is not recommended and may cause brake system failure. Carefully route and retain
replacement brake pipes. Always use the correct fasteners and the original location for replacement
brake pipes. Failure to properly route and retain brake pipes may cause damage to the brake pipes
and cause brake system failure.

1. Obtain the correct size pipe and the correct size steel fitting nuts.

Use the outside diameter of the pipe in order to specify the size.

2. Cut the pipe square and to the correct length using a hack saw.
3. Measure the old pipe in order to determine the correct length of the pipe. Use a string in
order to measure, and add 3.2 mm (0.125 in) for each ISO flare.
4. Install the fittings before starting the flare.
5. Chamfer the inside and the outside diameter of the pipe using a de-burring tool.
6. Remove all traces of lubricant from the brake pipe and the J 29803-A .

Transmitter Programming
Important: All transmitters which are to be recognized by the remote control door lock receiver
(RCDLR) must be programmed in a single programming sequence. If the system is placed in
program mode, all previously programmed transmitters will be erased upon the receipt of the
programming signal from the first transmitter. Up to four transmitters may be programmed. Do not
operate or program the transmitters in the vicinity of other vehicles that are in the keyless entry
program mode. This prevents the programming of the transmitters to the incorrect vehicle. The
order in which the transmitters are programmed is important. The first transmitter programmed
will be transmitter #1, and the second transmitter programmed will be transmitter #2. The number
on the transmitters are for reference only: #2 can be programmed as #1, or vice versa. Additional
unnumbered transmitters are also available. Use care to program the transmitters correctly.

1. Install a scan tool.


2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
3. Use the scan tool Remote Function Actuation Special Function: Program Key Fobs in order to
place the remote control door lock receiver into Program Mode. The doors will lock and then
unlock in order to confirm program mode.

Important: The scan tool must stay connected until all of the transmitters are programmed.

4. Press and hold the LOCK button and the UNLOCK button simultaneously on one transmitter.
After a delay of 15 seconds, the doors will lock and unlock in order to confirm the
programming of that transmitter.
5. Repeat the previous step in order to program up to 4 transmitters.
6. Remove the scan tool.
7. Operate the transmitter functions in order to verify correct system operation.

the vehicle.
• Make sure that all the components are in place on the vehicle, if other service has been
performed on the vehicle.
• Make sure the fuel level is 1/2 full or less.
• Place the vehicle on a level surface 7.6 m (25 ft) away from a target screen.
• Stop all other operations of work on the vehicle.
• Jounce the vehicle to settle the suspension.

Headlamp Aiming
The screen method is preferred for aiming headlamps.

Headlamp aiming is done with the low beam lamps. The high beam lamps will be correctly aimed if
the low beam lamps are aimed properly.

Screen Method for Headlamp Aiming (Visual Aim)


The screen method requires an area set up specifically for headlamp aim.

The area should consist of a level surface large enough to allow for a vehicle and an additional
7.62 m (25 ft) as measured from the face of the headlamps to the aiming screen.

The screen should be a wall or other flat surface at least 1.52 m (5 ft) high by 3.66 m (12 ft) wide
with a matte white surface well shaded from extraneous light, and 90 degrees to the floor. The
screen should be provided with a permanent vertical reference line 61 cm (2 ft) from the left edge
of the screen, 2 laterally adjustable vertical tapes, and one vertically adjustable horizontal tape.

After the aiming screen has been set up and located, paint or tape a reference line on the floor
15.24 m (50 ft) from the vertical reference line on the screen. This line should be perpendicular to
the aiming screen and a mark placed at 7.62 m (25 ft) from the screen.

Headlamp Aiming Procedure


1. Adjust the headlamps to the specifications required by state and local authorities.

Power Steering System Bleeding


Important:
• Use clean, new power steering fluid type only. See the Maintenance and Lubrication
subsection for fluid specifications. Refer to Fluid and Lubricant Recommendations .
• Hoses touching the frame, body or engine may cause system noise. Verify that the
hoses do not touch any other part of the vehicle.
• Loose connections may not leak, but could allow air into the steering system. Verify that
all hose connections are tight.

Important: Power steering fluid level must be maintained throughout bleed procedure.

1. Fill pump reservoir with fluid to minimum system level, FULL COLD level, or middle of hash
mark on cap stick fluid level indicator.

Important: With hydro-boost only, the oil level will appear falsely high if the hydro-boost
accumulator is not fully charged. Do not apply the brake pedal with the engine OFF. This will
discharge the hydro-boost accumulator.

2. If equipped with hydro-boost, fully charge the hydro-boost accumulator using the following
procedure:
2.1. Start the engine.
2.2. Firmly apply the brake pedal 10-15 times.
2.3. Turn the engine OFF.
3. Raise the vehicle until the front wheels are off the ground. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the
Vehicle in General Information.
4. Key on engine OFF, turn the steering wheel from stop to stop 12 times.

Vehicles equipped with hydro-boost systems or longer length power steering hoses may
require turns up to 15 to 20 stop to stops.

5. Verify power steering fluid level per operating specification. Refer to Checking and Adding
Power Steering Fluid .
6. Start the engine. Rotate steering wheel from left to right. Check for sign of cavitation or fluid
aeration (pump noise/whining).
7. Verify the fluid level. Repeat the bleed procedure if necessary.

Important: Do not reuse any drained power steering fluid regardless of appearance or condition.

1. Turn OFF the engine.


2. Raise the front end of the vehicle off the ground until the tires and wheels turn freely. Refer
to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle.
3. Place a large container under the fluid return hose in order to collect the draining fluid.
4. Remove the fluid return hose at the power steering pump reservoir inlet connection.
5. Plug the reservoir return hose inlet connection on the power steering pump.

Important: This step may require 4 L (4 qt) of power steering fluid until the draining fluid
appears clear.

6. With the key on engine off, turn the steering wheel fully to the left and to the right while an
assistant maintains the minimum fluid level in the reservoir using new approved power
steering fluid. Continue until the fluid from the return hose runs clear.
7. Remove the plug from the pump reservoir inlet connection and install the fluid return hose to
the pump reservoir.

Important: Do NOT run the engine without the power steering fluid at a minimum system
level.

8. Bleed the power steering system. Refer to Power Steering System Bleeding.
9. Inspect the power steering fluid for the following indications of contamination:
• Milky fluid - water
• Brown fluid - burnt
• Plastic debris or dirt chunks
10. If the fluid is contaminated, repeat steps 2-9.
11. Lower the vehicle and check the Power Steering system for leaks.

Shock Absorber Disposal


Caution: Gas charged shock absorbers contain high pressure gas. Do not remove the snap ring
from inside the top of the tube. If the snap ring is removed, the contents of the shock absorber will
come out with extreme force which may result in personal injury.

Caution: To prevent personal injury, wear safety glasses when centerpunching and drilling the
shock absorber. Use care not to puncture the shock absorber tube with the centerpunch.

1. Make an indentation 10 mm (0.4 in) from the bottom (4) of the tube (3) using a
centerpunch.
2. Clamp the shock absorber in a vise horizontally with the shock absorber rod (1) completely
extended.
3. Drill a hole in the shock absorber at the centerpunch (4) using a 5 mm (3/16 in) drill bit. Gas
or a gas/oil mixture will exhaust when the drill bit penetrates the shock absorber. Use shop
towels in order to contain the escaping oil.
4. Make an indentation in the middle (2) of the tube (3) with a centerpunch.
5. Drill a second hole in the shock absorber at the centerpunch (2) using a 5 mm (3/16 in) drill
bit. Oil will exhaust when the drill bit penetrates the shock absorber. Use shop towels in order
to contain the escaping oil.

Repairs and Inspections Required After a Collision


Caution: Restraint systems can be damaged in a collision. To help avoid injury and ensure that all
parts in need of replacement are replaced:
• Replace any seat belt system that was in use during the collision serious enough to deploy
any automatic restraint device such as air bags and seat belt pretensioners. This not only
includes seat belt systems in use by people of adult size, but seat belt systems used to secure
child restraints, infant carriers and booster seats, including LATCH system and top tether
anchorages.
• Replace any seat belt system that has torn, worn, or damaged components. This not only
includes adult seat belt systems, but built-in child restraints and LATCH system components,
if any.
• Replace any seat belt system if you observe the words "REPLACE" or "CAUTION", or if a
yellow tag is visible. Do not replace a seat belt if only the child seat caution label is visible.
• Replace any seat belt system if you are doubtful about its condition. This not only includes
adult seat belt systems, but built-in child restraints, LATCH system components, and any
restraint system used to secure infant carriers, child restraints, and booster seats.
Do NOT replace single seat belt system components in vehicles that have been in a collision as
described above. Always replace the entire seat belt system with the buckle, guide and retractor
assembly, which includes the latch and webbing material.

After a minor collision where no automatic restraint device was deployed, seat belt system
replacement may not be necessary, unless some of the parts are torn, worn, or damaged.

When you are storing an undeployed inflator module, make sure the bag opening points away from
the surface on which the inflator module rests. When you are storing a steering column, do not rest
the column with the bag opening facing down and the column vertical. Provide free space for the
air bag to expand in case of an accidental deployment. Otherwise, personal injury may result.

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

Dual Stage Inflator Module (If Equipped)


Dual stage inflator modules have two deployment stages. If stage 1 was used to deploy a dual
stage inflator module, stage 2 may still be active. Therefore, a deployed dual stage inflator module
must be treated as an active module. If disposal of a deployed or undeployed dual stage module is
required both deployment loops must be energized to deploy the air bag.

During the course of a vehicle's useful life, certain situations may arise which will require the
disposal of a live (undeployed) inflator module. Do not dispose a live (undeployed) inflator module
through normal disposal channels until the inflator module has been deployed. The following
information covers the proper procedures for the disposing of a live (undeployed) inflator module.

Do not deploy the inflator module in the following situations:

• After replacement of an inflator module under warranty. The inflator module may need to be
returned undeployed to the manufacturer.
• If the vehicle is the subject of a Product Liability report related to the SIR system and is
subject to a Preliminary Investigation (GM-1241). Do not alter the SIR system in any
manner.
• If the vehicle is involved in a campaign affecting the inflator modules. Follow the instructions
in the Campaign Service Bulletin for proper SIR handling procedures.

Deployment Procedures
The inflator module can be deployed inside or outside of the vehicle. The method used depends
upon the final disposition of the vehicle. Review the following procedures in order to determine
which will work best in a given situation:

Deployment Outside Vehicle (Steering Wheel


Module, IP Module, and Side Impact Module)
Deploy the inflator module outside of the vehicle when the vehicle will be returned to service.
Situations that require deployment outside of the vehicle include the following:

• Using the SIR diagnostics, you determine that the inflator module is malfunctioning.
• The inflator module is cosmetically damaged (scratched or ripped).
• The inflator module pigtail (if equipped) is damaged.
• The inflator module connector is damaged.
• The inflator module connector terminals are damaged.

Deployment and disposal of a malfunctioning inflator module is subject to any required retention
period.

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

Repairs and Inspections Required After a Collision


Accident With or Without Inflator Module
Deployment - Component Inspections
CAUTION: Proper operation of the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) sensing system
requires that any repairs to the vehicle structure return the vehicle structure to the original
production configuration. Not properly repairing the vehicle structure could cause non-deployment
of the air bag(s) in a frontal collision or deployment of the air bag(s) for conditions less severe than
intended.

CAUTION: Proper operation of the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) sensing system
requires that any repairs to the vehicle structure return the vehicle structure to the original
production configuration. Not properly repairing the vehicle structure could cause non-deployment
of the side impact air bag(s) in a side impact collision or deployment of the side impact air bag(s)
for conditions less severe than intended.

After any collision, inspect the following components as indicated. If you detect any damage,
replace the component. If you detect any damage to the mounting points or mounting hardware,
repair the component or replace the hardware as needed.

• The steering column - Perform the steering column accident damage checking procedures.
Refer to Steering Column Accident Damage Inspection - Off Vehicle in Steering.

• Mounting points or mounting hardware for the SIS, and side impact module (LF/RF) on the
side of impact - Inspect for any damage and repair or replace each component as needed.
• Mounting points or mounting hardware for the SDM - Inspect for any damage and repair or
replace each component as needed.

Sensor Replacement Guidelines


The SIR/side air bag sensor replacement policy requires replacing sensors in the area of accident
damage. The area of accident damage is defined as the portion of the vehicle which is crushed,
bent, or damaged due to a collision. An example of this would be a moderate collision where the
front of the vehicle impacts a tree, if the vehicle has an SIR sensor mounted forward of the
radiator, replace the SIR sensor.

• Replace the sensor whether or not the air bags have deployed.
• Replace the sensor even if the sensor appears to be undamaged.

Sensor damage which is not visible, such as slight bending of the mounting bracket or cuts in the
wire insulation, can cause improper operation of the SIR/side air bag sensing system. Do not try to
determine whether the sensor is undamaged. Replace the sensor. Also, if you follow a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) table and a malfunctioning sensor is indicated, replace the sensor.

SIR Service Precautions


Caution: When you are performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring, you
must disable the SIR system. Refer to Disabling the SIR System. Failure to follow the correct
procedure could cause air bag deployment, personal injury, or unnecessary SIR system repairs.

The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) maintains a reserved energy supply.
The reserved energy supply provides deployment power for the air bags. Deployment power is
available for as much as 1 minute after disconnecting the vehicle power. Disabling the SIR system
prevents deployment of the air bags from the reserved energy supply.

General Service Instructions


The following are general service instructions which must be followed in order to properly repair
the vehicle and return it to its original integrity:

• Do not expose inflator modules to temperatures above 65°C (150°F).


• Verify the correct replacement part number. Do not substitute a component from a different
vehicle.
• Use only original GM replacement parts available from your authorized GM dealer. Do not use
salvaged parts for repairs to the SIR system.

Discard any of the following components if it has been dropped from a height of 91 cm (3 feet) or
greater:

• Inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM)


• Inflatable restraint electronic frontal sensor (EFS)
• Inflatable restraint IP module
• Inflatable restraint steering wheel module
• Inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil
• Inflatable restraint side impact modules
• Inflatable restraint side impact sensors (SIS)

Window Polishing
Minor Scratch and Abrasion Removal
Remove or reduce any minor scratches and abrasions by following the procedure below. Use care
in order to prevent distortions of vision. Double vision may result if you attempt to remove deep
scratches. Do not attempt to remove any deep scratches near the driver's line of vision. If deep
scratches are present, replace the window.

The polishing procedure that follows was developed using a cerium oxide compound. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions if any other materials are used. The polishing procedure should not be
used on deep tinted windows. The coating on the windows could be damaged.

Recommended Equipment
• l A low speed (600-1,300 RPM) rotary polisher
• l A wool felt, rotary polishing pad 76 mm (3 in) the diameter and 51 mm (2 in) thick
• l Powdered cerium oxide mixed with water, this is the abrasive compound
• l A wide mouth container in order to hold the abrasive compound

Polishing Procedure
1. Mix at least 44 ml (1.5 oz) of cerium oxide with enough water in order to obtain a creamy
consistency.
• If the mixture is too thick, the mixture will cake on the felt pad more quickly.
• If the mixture is too runny, more polishing time will be needed.
2. Draw a circle around the scratches on the opposite side of the window in order to serve as a
guide for locating the scratch while polishing.
3. Cover the surrounding area with masking paper in order to catch the drippings or any
splattered polish.

Important: Do not submerge the pad or allow the pad to stay in the mixture, as the bond
may loosen between the pad and the metal plate.

4. Dip the felt pad, attached to the polisher, into the mixture.

5. Note the following suggestions while polishing the scratched area:


• Stir the mixture as often as needed in order to maintain the creamy consistency of the
compound.
• Use moderate but steady pressure.
• Hold the pad flat against the window.
• Use a feathering-out motion.
• Dip the pad into the mixture every 15 seconds in order to ensure that the wheel and the
window are always wet during the polishing operation. A dry pad causes excessive heat to
develop.
• Keep the pad free of dirt and other foreign substances.
6. After removing the scratch, wipe the area clean of any polish.
7. Clean the polishing pad.

• Any other obstruction or irregularity in the pinchweld flange.

Important: If corrosion of the pinchweld flange is present, or if sheet metal repairs or


replacements are required, the pinchweld flange must be refinished in order to restore the
bonding area strength. If paint repairs are required, mask the flange bonding area prior to
applying the color coat in order to provide a clean primer only surface. Materials such as
BASF DE17®, DuPont 2610®, Sherwin-Williams PSE 4600 and NP70® and Martin-
Semour 5120 and 5130® products are approved for this application.

12. After repairing the opening do the following.


13. Inspect the condition of the window opening and the urethane adhesive bead to determine
which installation method should be used. Refer to Short Method Description or Extended
Method Description for guidelines.
14. Remove no more of the urethane adhesive from the pinchweld than necessary in order to
maintain the original shape. This will ensure the proper clearance between the window and
the pinchweld flange.

Important: Do not remove all traces of the adhesive. Remove all mounds or loose pieces of
urethane adhesive.

15. If the original window is being reused remove all but a thin film of the existing urethane
adhesive from the window surface by using a clean utility knife or razor blade scraper.
16. If the extended method is being used remove all but approximately 2 mm (3/64 in) of the

Inspection Procedure

l Vehicles involved in accidents resulting in frame damage, major body or sheet metal
damage, or where the steering column has been impacted, or where supplemental inflatable
restraint systems deployed may also have a damaged or misaligned steering column.
• l Check the capsules on the steering column bracket assembly. All capsules must be securely
seated in the bracket slots and checked for any loose conditions when pushed or pulled by
hand.
• l Observe how the bracket is attached to the jacket assembly.
- If the capsules are not securely seated and the bracket is bolted to the jacket assembly,

Steering Column Replacement


Tools Required
J 42640 Steering Column Anti Rotation Pin

Removal Procedure
Notice: The wheels of the vehicle must be straight ahead and the steering column in the
LOCK position before disconnecting the steering column or intermediate shaft from the
steering gear. Failure to do so will cause the SIR coil assembly to become uncentered, which
may cause damage to the coil assembly.

Notice: Once the steering column is removed from the car, the column is extremely
susceptible to damage. Dropping the column on its end could collapse the steering shaft or
loosen the plastic injections which maintain column rigidity. Leaning on the column could
cause the jacket to bend or deform. Any of the above damage could impair the column's
collapsible design. If it is necessary to remove the steering wheel, use only the specified
steering wheel puller. Under no conditions should the end of the shaft be hammered upon as
hammering could loosen plastic injections which maintain column rigidity.

Notice: The steering column should never be supported only by the lower support bracket.
Damage to the lower support could result.

Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK
position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component.
Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or
equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these
precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

Caution: This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System.
Failure to follow the correct procedure could cause the following conditions:
• Air bag deployment
• Personal injury
• Unnecessary SIR system repairs
In order to avoid the above conditions, observe the following guidelines:
• Refer to SIR Component Views in order to determine if you are performing service on or
near the SIR components or the SIR wiring.
• If you are performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring, disable
the SIR system. Refer to Disabling the SIR System.

2. Disable the SIR system. Refer to Disabling the SIR System in SIR.

Wheel Alignment Measurement


Steering and vibration complaints are not always the result of improper alignment. One possible
cause is wheel and tire imbalance. Another possibility is tire lead due to worn or improperly
manufactured tires. Lead is the vehicle deviation from a straight path on a level road without
pressure on the steering wheel. Refer to Radial Tire Lead/Pull Correction in Tires and Wheels in
order to determine if the vehicle has a tire lead problem.

Before performing any adjustment affecting wheel alignment, perform the following inspections and
adjustments in order to ensure correct alignment readings:

• Inspect the tires for the proper inflation and irregular tire wear. Refer to Tire Inflation
Pressure Specifications in Maintenance and Lubrication and Tire Diagnosis - Irregular or
Premature Wear in Tires and Wheels.
• Inspect the runout of the wheels and the tires. Refer to Tire and Wheel Runout Specifications
in Vibration Diagnosis and Correction.
• Inspect the wheel bearings for backlash and excessive play. Refer to Wheel Bearings
Diagnosis in Suspension General Diagnosis.
• Inspect the ball joints and tie rod ends for looseness or wear.
• Inspect the control arms and stabilizer shaft for looseness or wear.
• Inspect the steering gear for looseness at the frame. Refer to Fastener Tightening
Specifications in Power Steering System.
• Inspect the struts/shock absorbers for wear, leaks, and any noticeable noises. Refer to
Suspension Strut and Shock Absorber Testing - On Vehicle in Suspension General Diagnosis.
• Inspect the vehicle trim height. Refer to Trim Height Inspection in Suspension General
Diagnosis.
• Inspect the steering wheel for excessive drag or poor return due to stiff or rusted linkage or
suspension components.
• Inspect the fuel level. The fuel tank should be full or the vehicle should have a compensating
load added.

Give consideration to excess loads, such as tool boxes, sample cases, etc. If normally carried in the
vehicle, these items should remain in the vehicle during alignment adjustments. Give consideration
also to the condition of the equipment being used for the alignment. Follow the equipment
manufacturer's instructions.

Satisfactory vehicle operation may occur over a wide range of alignment settings. However, if the
setting exceeds the service allowable specifications, correct the alignment to the service preferred
specifications. Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications .

Perform the following steps in order to measure the front and rear alignment angles:

1. Install the alignment equipment according to the manufacturer's instructions.


2. Jounce the front and the rear bumpers 3 times prior to checking the wheel alignment.
3. Measure the alignment angles and record the readings.

Important: When performing adjustments to vehicles requiring a 4-wheel alignment, set the
rear wheel alignment ©angles first inMotors

Disassembly Procedure

Notice: With the removal of the wheel drive shaft for any reason, the transmission sealing
surface (the tripot male/female shank of the joint) should be inspected for corrosion. If
corrosion is evident, the surface should be cleaned with 320 grit cloth or equivalent in a
rotational motion only. Do not clean with an oscillating motion. Transmission fluid may be
used to clean off any remaining debris and the joint wiped dry before installation. Corrosion
on the joint sealing surface may damage the transmission seals and cause a fluid leak.

DESCRIPTION & OPERATION

Hydra-Matic 4T65-E is a fully automatic front wheel drive electronically controlled transaxle.
Four forward ranges including overdrive are provided. Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
controls shift points using two shift solenoids. A vane-type oil pump supplies oil pressure. PCM
regulates oil pressure using pressure control solenoid valve. All vehicles equipped with 4T65-E
transaxle have an Electronically Controlled Capacity Clutch (ECCC) system. In ECCC system,
pressure plate does not fully lock to torque converter cover. It is precisely controlled to maintain

a small amount of slippage between engine and turbine, reducing driveline torsional disturbances.

Multiplied torque from torque converter is transferred to transaxle by a sprocket and drive chain
(drive link) assembly. Other internal components consist of 4 multiple-disc clutches, roller clutch,
sprag clutch, 3 bands and compound planetary gear set. Final drive gear and differential
assemblies are an integral part of transaxle. See Fig. 14 -Fig. 20 .

NOTE: Drive chain may also be referred to as "drive link".
