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.

Common on this vehicle:Gauge or instrument faultWarning lightLoss of engine power, no accelerationSmoke or fireAir conditioning or heaterStalls or shuts offLeakDoes not start

Record by record

78 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.

Symptom

Component named as the cause

Work done

How it is said to have ended

  • says it was fixed1
  • says it held for a while1
  • says it did not fix it2
  • result not stated8

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.

      Brake pipe (brake line) corrosion and rupture

      Confirm

      • In the joint inspections, scaling or flaking corrosion was taken as indicating the onset of metal loss and given the second lowest ranking (2); a leaking or previously repaired pipe was the lowest (1).

      Repair

      1. GM recommends replacing the entire set of pipes whenever any pipe leaks or is corroded enough to need replacement.
      2. On June 28, 2013 GM released 66 new part numbers for servicing brake pipes in 1999-2007 GMT800 pickups and utility vehicles.

      Caution

      • Analysis of repair records indicates that consumers often elect to repair only the failed circuit.

Known issuesVoltmeter fluctuates between 12 and 14 volts (Regulated Voltage Control, normal)1

  1. Manufacturer communication2005–2006 GMC YUKON XL ・ 2018-06-04(1 earlier editions of this document folded here)

    Voltmeter Gauge Fluctuation and Battery Charging Information

    1. 1Fault

      • Customers may comment that the voltmeter is fluctuating between 12 and 14 volts.
      • When towing or hauling a camper/trailer, customers may comment that the auxiliary battery for the camper/trailer will not stay charged.

    2. 2Finding the cause

      Possible causes

      • Starting with the 2005 model year, light duty full size pickups and utilities have a Regulated Voltage Control (RVC) system.
      • The RVC system reduces the targeted generator output to 12.6–13.1 volts in "Fuel Economy Mode" to improve fuel economy.

    3. 3Correction

      Repair

      1. With the tow/haul feature enabled, the RVC system stays in "Charge Mode" and the targeted generator output voltage is 13.9–15.5 volts, depending on battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.
      2. The second method is to turn on the headlights, which increases the generator's targeted output voltage to 13.9–14.5 volts.

      Caution

      • This fluctuation with the RVC system is normal system operation and no repairs should be attempted.

    • Confirm：If normal SI diagnostics identify no root cause, check for a device plugged into the ALDL or Data Link Connector (DLC) for tracking and/or maintenance interval scheduling.
    • Cause：Monitoring devices and other electronic accessories such as aftermarket cruise control or police speed checking devices (RADAR or LIDAR) may cause one or more of the listed concerns.
    • Caution：A device with a secondary DLC connector can be hidden out of sight with its harness, and the technician may not notice that the diagnostic connector is not in the factory location.
    • Repair：If the device is available, try to duplicate the condition, then remove the device to see whether the condition is eliminated.
    • Repair：If the condition is not eliminated with the device removed, continue diagnosing the vehicle with the appropriate Service Information.
