  • BrakesModel years 2000–2005Manufacturer

    ABS lamp with DTC C0265 (EBCM motor relay circuit) after EBCM replacement

    Why it happens:There is an issue with the relay solder connection to the circuit board.

    Caution:An EBCM obtained from another dealer may also set C0265.

  • BrakesModel years 2000–2002ManufacturerGovernment

    Unwanted ABS activation at low speed (front wheel speed sensor mounting corrosion)

    Why it happens:These vehicles may have a condition permitting corrosion to occur between the front hub/bearing assembly and the wheel speed sensor.

    • If left:Unwanted activation can increase stopping distances in low-speed braking, which could result in a crash.

    Caution:Do not pry the sensor out of the bore; prying breaks the sensor body off in the bore.

  • BrakesModel years 2000–2006Government

    Brake pipe (brake line) corrosion and rupture

    Why it happens:The pipes' steel-copper construction is vulnerable to galvanic corrosion if exposed to the environment.

    • If left:Corroded brake lines may rupture during a brake application, reducing brake effectiveness.
    • If left:The worst case is failure of the front circuit (rear-only braking) with a lightly loaded vehicle.
    • If left:GM stated that the brake system is split front/rear and that, should a brake pipe suddenly fail, the vehicle would be capable of stopping with the pressure supplied by the remaining circuit.
    • If left:Most of the failures reported to ODI occurred in vehicles with more than 10 years in service.

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

  • BrakesModel years 2000–2006Manufacturer

    ABS light with C0265/C0201/U1041 or no communication with brake module (EBCM ground G110)

    First signs:Upon inspection, DTCs C0265 and C0201 may be set in the brake module.

    • If left:DTC U1041 can also set in other modules.
    • If left:A poor connection at the EBCM ground is causing brake modules to be replaced unnecessarily.

    Caution:Do not replace the brake module for this condition; do the ground repair before further EBCM diagnosis.

  • BrakesModel years 2000–2000Government

    Front right-hand brake pipe contact with body cross sill - recall 00V-345

    Why it happens:Clearance between the front right-hand brake pipe and the body cross sill can decrease until they touch.

    • If left:If the pipe is damaged, half of the brake system can lose fluid and pressure.
    • If left:The pedal will be lower than normal and stopping distances longer.

  • BrakesModel years 2000–2006ManufacturerGovernment

    Hydro-boost brake assist and power steering share one hydraulic supply (four campaigns)

    Why it happens:Some vehicles were built with an out-of-specification hydro-boost housing relief valve bore.

    • If left:The valve O-ring seal may fracture, and steering effort may be slightly higher while braking or parking.
    • If left:The loss of fluid would increase steering and braking effort, and a crash may occur without prior warning.
    • If left:A hydraulic pump driveshaft can fracture, causing immediate loss of power steering assist.
    • If left:On hydro-boost vehicles the same failure removes brake power assist once the reserve pressure is used up.
    • If left:Power steering assist would be lost and steering effort would rise.
    • If left:On hydro-boost vehicles the hose failure could also remove power brake assist.
    • If left:Power steering fluid sprayed onto hot engine parts could cause an engine compartment fire.
    • If left:The Hydro-Boost unit includes a pneumatic accumulator that serves as a reserve and provides a transition between power assisted and manual braking when pressure supply is lost. The number of accumulator-assisted stops varies with previous steering and braking inputs.
    • If left:Loss of boost with a depleted reserve sharply increases brake pedal effort: a driver used to applying 20 lbs for a moderate 0.3 g deceleration may have to apply 130 lbs or more.
    • If left:In the steering test, the test vehicle required 45 in-lb (= 5.08 N·m) with the system intact and 300 in-lb (= 33.9 N·m) with the system failed.

    Caution:An inoperative pump raises steering and braking effort but does not completely remove the ability to steer or slow the vehicle.

  • BrakesModel years 2001–2004Manufacturer

    Brake pedal moves or self applies at full steering lock (Hydro-Boost)

    Why it happens:The cause may be the internal dump valve of the hydro-boost not seating properly because of contamination in the steering system.

    Caution:Before replacing the Hydro-Boost, the entire steering system (pump, lines, cooler, gear box) must be flushed to avoid a recurrence.

  • BrakesModel years 2005–2005Government

    Brake pedal pushrod retainer missing - recall 05V-103

    Why it happens:The brake pedal pushrod retainer may be missing.

    • If left:Without the retainer, the booster pushrod could disengage from the brake pedal.
    • If left:This could result in a loss of brakes which could result in a crash.

  • Suspension, wheels and tiresModel years 2001–2006GovernmentTrade technical source

    Aftermarket part (not the vehicle as built): Federal-Mogul National / Carquest replacement wheel hub assembly retention nut - recall 07E-106

    • If left:The inboard retention nut that maintains the hub bearing assembly can loosen, resulting in an ABS light, noise and/or wheel separation.
    • If left:Wheel separation can result in a vehicle crash.

    Caution:The recall pertains only to replacement National and Carquest hub assemblies and has no relation to original equipment on GM or Ford vehicles.

  • Electrical, wiring and powerModel years 2003–2006Manufacturer

    Intermittent no start with Service Stability, ABS light, 'Unknown Driver' and multiple DTCs / no module communication

    First signs:GM bulletin summary: intermittent no start, Service Stability message, ABS light on, multiple DTCs, DIC showing Unknown Driver, and various electrical conditions.

3 records that touch this generation only at its boundary (model year 2000); not counted for this vehicle

In model year 2000 the previous generation was also sold under the same name. These records state no other model year of this generation, and either state years outside it or call the vehicle the old style: they do not say which generation they mean, so they are not counted among the causes or under the cards. The ground for the shared year:
