Record by record

18 records state a cause or a remedy. Each record is shown as short labels in the order fault → finding the cause → correction. Press a label to narrow to the records that state it.

How it is said to have ended

  • result not stated1

A ribbon is as wide as the records that state both of its ends (only the commonest are drawn). A record that names several symptoms or components runs through each. Orange is records that say the fault came back or was not fixed. Results come from owners’ reports only; one that does not say is “result not stated”. None of this is a likelihood of a cause or a rate at which work succeeds.

    Speedometer Needle Accuracy Information

    1. 1Fault

      • A customer may say the speedometer needle appears inaccurate.

    2. 2Finding the cause

      Possible causes

      • The speedometer needle is driven electrically by a stepper motor and some variation in accuracy is possible.
      • Tire size, tread life and inflation may cause some variation in the readings.

      Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)

      1. Digital readouts such as the "Digital Speedometer" on the DIC read the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) directly and are much more accurate.
      2. The specification for needle accuracy is +/- 2 MPH (= 3.22 km/h) at any given speed when looking straight at the needle.

    IPC odometer programming method notification

    1. 1Fault

    2. 2Finding the cause

      Not stated

    3. 3Correction

      Repair

      1. The table lists the 2003-2006 Yukon with the odometer value stored in the IPC and SPS as the programming method.
      2. The SPS method is IPC reprogramming and setup using the service programming system (SPS).

      Caution

      • Vehicles not listed in the document need to follow the SPS Programming for Odometer.
      • Stable battery voltage is critical during programming; any fluctuation, spiking, over voltage or loss of voltage will interrupt it.
      • Install the EL-49642 SPS Programming Support Tool (GM Dealer Equipment Item #PSC-550) to maintain system voltage; if not available, connect a fully charged 12V jumper or booster pack disconnected from the AC supply, and do not connect a battery charger.

    Inaccurate Odometer Reading – Preliminary Information

    1. 1Fault

      • A customer may say the odometer appears inaccurate compared with a known distance traveled.

    2. 2Finding the cause

      Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)

      1. Use a hand-held GPS unit to test the odometer.
      2. On a straight road over a mile long, mark the GPS waypoint when the odometer (not the trip odometer) rolls over a digit.
      3. Confirm that the original size tires and wheels are mounted and that the axle ratio is as specified on the SPID label and unmodified.
      4. If those are correct and the odometer is beyond the limit, consider the relationship between the VSS and the reluctor on the transmission output shaft.
      5. Closely inspect the associated wiring and any connectors in the circuits.

    3. 3Correction

      Repair

      • Finally, it may be necessary to exchange the IPC with a replacement unit.

      Caution

      • Generally a tolerance of plus or minus 4% is allowed.
      • Do not compare with another vehicle or with the trip odometer.

    Remedy
    This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician about vehicle's odometer appears to be inaccurate relative to a known distance traveled. Technician should obtain a hand-held GPS unit to test the odometer. If a hand held GPS unit is not available, the only other option is to verify the miles traveled using a surveyor's wheel or a dynamometer.
