Record by record
8 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 did not fix it1
- result not stated11
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.

Broken and leaking brake lines due to severe underbody corrosion
Known issues4L60-E slip or no forward engagement right after input housing replacement (service part 17803687)1
Manufacturer communication2000–2006 GMC YUKON XL ・ 2017-08-15
Input Housing Inspection for Forward Range Slip
1Fault
- A few transmissions may slip or have no engagement in any forward gear immediately after the Input Housing (621) is replaced.
2Finding the cause
Possible causes
- The Input Housing (621) from GM Service Parts may have an incorrectly drilled input shaft.
Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)
- With the Input Housing (621) completely assembled, apply regulated compressed air to the 3-4 clutch feed hole and the forward clutch feed hole one at a time.
- Air should not leak out of the 3-4 clutch feed hole when air is applied to the forward clutch feed hole, and not out of the forward clutch feed hole when air is applied to the 3-4 clutch feed hole.
3Correction
Repair
- If air leaks between the two feed holes, replace the Input Housing (621) with one from GM Service Parts, ordering new housing part number 19125752.

Caution
- This information only applies to Input Housing (621) with service part number 17803687; it does not apply to GM service transmission assemblies or original equipment transmission assemblies.
- When testing a fully assembled housing, a small amount of air leaking between the input shaft and the housing does not indicate a defective part.
- Do not replace an Input Housing (621) assembly solely because of a small air leak between the shaft and housing.

From the manufacturer’s document
- Applies to:The model list includes the 1999-2006 GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
- Applies to:It applies to vehicles equipped with the 4L60E, 4L65E or 4L70E automatic transmission (RPO M30, M32 or M70) and service input housing part number 17803687.
- Caution:This information only applies to Input Housing (621) with service part number 17803687; it does not apply to GM service transmission assemblies or original equipment transmission assemblies.

- Remedy
- This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician about vehicles that have slip in forward ranges immediately after replacing the input housing. Technician will inspect the 3-4 clutches and the forward clutch oil feed passages for leakage between circuits. Technician should apply regulated compressed air to the 3-4 clutch feed hole and the forward clutch feed hole one at a time with the input housing. Technician will need to replace the input housing if there is an air leak 3-4 clutches.
Known issuesSingle-cylinder misfire (P0300-P0308) and/or chirp, squeak or tick at camshaft speed: worn cam lobe / lifter, valve or valve spring1
Manufacturer communication2000–2006 GMC YUKON XL ・ 2017-08-15
Service Engine Soon Lamp, Misfire, and Engine Noise Information
1Fault
- With the SES light on, a P0300-P0308 DTC is found with misfires counting on a single cylinder that may or may not be felt.
- A verified noise is not eliminated by canceling fuel injectors and occurs at camshaft speed (half of crankshaft speed); it may be a chirp, squeak, squeal or tick and may increase off idle.
2Finding the cause
- Valve Spring: broken
- Active Fuel Management Lifter: failed
- Valve: defective
- Camshaft Lobe: worn
- Lifter Roller: worn
Possible causes
- When SI diagnosis does not isolate the cause, it may be a worn camshaft lobe and/or lifter roller, a sticking valve, valve leakage, a broken valve spring, or a collapsed AFM (Active Fuel Management) lifter.
Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)
- During the noise, press with a wooden hammer handle on the valve side, push rod side and side of each rocker arm; if pressure on the valve side changes the noise, it is most likely a lifter and/or cam lobe concern on that cylinder.
- Measure cam lobe lift at the push rod side of the rocker arm and compare with other rockers on the same bank; the misfiring or ticking cylinder should have clearly less lift if a lifter roller and/or cam lobe is worn.
- A good indicator of a sticking valve is misfires that continue to count on an aggressive deceleration with engine braking.
- For a suspected sticking valve, snap the valve onto its seat and confirm it comes off easily; if force is needed to tap it off the seat, excessive carbon build up exists, which may be repaired by decarboning the engine.
- The Cylinder Leakage Test outlined in SI should isolate valve leakage by finding excessive leakage past an intake or exhaust valve compared with the others.
3Correction
Repair
- If a worn camshaft lobe or lifter roller is found, replace the camshaft and all lifters per SI, and also replace the plastic lifter guide for the lifter that had the damage.
Caution
- A worn cam lobe is easy to overlook through the lifter bores, and unworn lifter rollers do not mean the related cam lobes are okay; both must be carefully inspected.

- Confirm:The Cylinder Leakage Test outlined in SI should isolate valve leakage by finding excessive leakage past an intake or exhaust valve compared with the others.
- Confirm:A broken valve spring may stay stacked together and be hard to see, so lightly push on different places on the springs with a small hammer handle.
- Repair:If a worn camshaft lobe or lifter roller is found, replace the camshaft and all lifters per SI, and also replace the plastic lifter guide for the lifter that had the damage.
- Caution:A worn cam lobe is easy to overlook through the lifter bores, and unworn lifter rollers do not mean the related cam lobes are okay; both must be carefully inspected.

- Remedy
- This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician about vehicles that have a Service Engine Soon Malfunction Indicator Lamp on, engine misfire, and/or engine noise. Technician may find Diagnostic Trouble Codes P0300-P0308.
