The vehicle (where a record says)

A record is under an engine, a drive or a series only where it says so: the characters of the vehicle identification number filed with a complaint, its text, or what its document says it applies to. A record that does not say is kept as "not stated". The filed numbers and the documents do not tell 4WD from AWD.

Record by record

153 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

  • says it held for a while3
  • says it came back3
  • says it did not fix it10
  • result not stated4

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.

    Misfire and DTC Codes Diagnostic Information

    1. 1Fault

      • With DTC P0300 - P0308 and/or P050D, use GDS and save the freeze frame records.

    2. 2Finding the cause

      Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)

      1. Perform the relative compression test in the PICO NVH or Oscilloscope software; SI Document number 5518386 covers the procedure.
      2. If it passes the relative compression test, the concern is an ignition or fuel delivery issue.
      3. Check the ignition supply voltage to the ignition module/coil assemblies and also to the fuel injectors.
      4. Inspect the spark plugs for anything abnormal.
      5. Note the fuel trim values and on which bank, and compare actual MAF with calculated air flow.
      2 more points

    3. 3Correction

      Caution

    Diagnostic tip on valve, lifter or camshaft issues

    1. 1Fault

      • Misfire, chirp, squeak, squeal or tick noise, with the MIL illuminated and DTC P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305, P0306, P0307 and/or P0308 set.

    2. 2Finding the cause

      Possible causes

      • A worn cam lobe on this engine family generally creates a consistent chirp, squeak, squeal or tick at camshaft speed and/or a misfire with a P0300-P0308 DTC.

      Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)

      1. A verified noise is not eliminated by canceling fuel injectors and occurs at camshaft speed (half of crankshaft speed).
      2. If applying pressure to the valve side of a rocker changes the noise, a lifter and/or cam lobe concern on that cylinder is most likely.
      3. Measure cam lobe lift at the push rod side of the rocker arm; it differs from the SI specification but should be similar to the other rockers on the same bank.
      4. A bore scope or pen light helps when inspecting the cam lobes through the lifter bores; a damaged lobe is easy to overlook.
      5. A good indicator of a sticking valve is that misfires continue to count on an aggressive deceleration with engine braking.
      2 more points

    3. 3Correction

      Repair

      1. If a worn camshaft lobe or lifter roller is found, replace the camshaft and all lifters following SI procedures.
      2. If force is needed to tap the valve off its seat, excessive carbon build up exists, which may be repaired by decarbonizing the engine.
    Read the sentences of the record

    From the manufacturer’s document

    • Applies to：GM passenger cars and trucks with V6/V8 pushrod engines, model years 2002 to 2023.
    • Condition：Misfire, chirp, squeak, squeal or tick noise, with the MIL illuminated and DTC P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305, P0306, P0307 and/or P0308 set.

    EVAP Leak Diagnostic Service Bulletin (DTCs P0442/P0455)

    1. 1Fault

      • The MIL is illuminated, and DTC P0442 (EVAP small leak detected) and/or P0455 (EVAP large leak detected) may be set in the ECM.

    2. 2Finding the cause

      Possible causes

      • P0455 sets because of a large leak or a purge blockage: an unseated tube connection, a damaged tube, a canister vent valve stuck open, or a purge valve stuck closed.
      • P0442 sets because of a small leak, which can come from a purge valve stuck open or a canister vent valve stuck open.

      Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)

      1. Inspect every purge connection for proper installation, and look along the lines for damage or wear; if damage is seen, confirm it with the smoke test.
      2. Some leaks show only under pressure and some only under vacuum, so check both ways; cycling the purge and vent solenoids with GDS2 while inspecting may show a sticking valve.
      3. Critical connections to check include: purge tube to purge valve (at the intake manifold), purge tube to chassis EVAP line (rear of the engine, near the transmission), chassis EVAP line to canister, and fuel tank load line to canister.
      4. Also check the vent valve line at the vent valve, the fuel tank load line jumper connection near the fuel tank, and that the fuel tank cap is closed properly.
      5. If all connections are good, check the vent valve for a stuck-open position; if the vent valve works correctly, go on to the purge valve.

      • The listed codes also include P0171, P0174, P0420, P0430, P1174 and P1175.

    2. 2Finding the cause

      Possible causes

      • These methods find small leaks around the O2 sensor embossments and slight cracks in an intake plenum or gasket.

      Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)

      1. If normal SI diagnostics do not lead to a resolution and an intake vacuum leak or exhaust leak is suspected, use the GE-52250 Variable Pressure Leak Detector (preferred), the J-41416 ultrasonic leak tester, or possibly soapy water with low pressure air into the tailpipe to find the leak.
      2. For an intake leak, introduce the smoke into the brake booster hose or the oil dipstick tube; soapy water can be sprayed near the gasket, seams and all vacuum nipples.
      3. For an exhaust leak, put the hose with smoke or air into the tailpipe sealed with shop towels, then spray soapy water around seals, seams and bosses.

    Remedy
    This Preliminary information communicates the use of Winter grade fuel during the warm months of 2020 and the potential rivability issues that it can cause. The ongoing Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has caused significant reductions in driving and fuel use.  Due to the surplus of winter grade fuel sitting in storage (pipelines/stations) the EPA is waiving the fuel vapor requirement.  This will extend the use of winter fuel into the summer months. The drivability concerns should not be single events but should be multiple occurrences associated with hot days.

    Suspension Service Communication

    1. 1Fault

      • Condition 1 (2009 or prior vehicles): a Service Suspension System message on the DIC with incorrect rear ride height, and DTC C0696 or C0711 set in the Electronic Suspension Control (ESC) module.
      • Condition 2: a Service Suspension System message on the DIC, possibly with low rear ride height under a heavy payload, and DTC C0711 set in the ESC module.
      • Condition 3: a loose hose hangs down at the left rear; upon inspection the hose may be found damaged or disconnected from the air inlet filter of the auto leveling suspension air compressor.

    2. 2Finding the cause

      Possible causes

      • Condition 1 can be caused by the wiring to the automatic level control (ALC) pressure sensor being shorted to ground.
      • Condition 2 may be caused by an internal fault in the ALC pressure sensor, which can occur when moisture gets into the sensor.

      Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)

      1. The air compressor assembly may have to be removed to see whether the wiring is pinched between the compressor assembly and the frame.
      2. If system pressure at start up is below 10 psi (69 kpa), the system runs the compressor to add air to the shocks as a replenishment cycle.

    3. 3Correction

      Repair

      1. For condition 1, repair any damaged or shorted circuits and reposition the wiring so it is not damaged again when the compressor assembly is installed.
      2. The sensor is no longer serviced separately; to replace it, install a complete air filter, dryer and sensor assembly.
      3. For condition 3, replace the auto leveling compressor air inlet filter and hose assembly (PN 22197160).
