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 lightNoiseLeakCorrosion or rustMisfire or rough idleLoss of engine power, no accelerationReduced braking

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.

Component named as the cause

Work done

How it is said to have ended

  • says it did not fix it1
  • result not stated2

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.

Known issuesRPO DL3 power folding mirror loose, moves or shakes after being folded by hand (cycle it electrically)1

  1. Manufacturer communication2003 GMC FULL SIZE PICKUPS AND UTILITIES (YUKON XL) ・ 2003-07-01

    RPO DL3 electrically folding mirrors move or shake after being folded by hand

    1. 1Fault

      • The result is that the mirror may move and/or shake.

    2. 2Finding the cause

      Possible causes

      • These mirrors must always be moved electrically; a mirror folded inward by hand and moved back outboard by hand will not latch into the detent.

      Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)

      • The mirrors fold inboard electrically with the same switches used for adjusting the individual mirrors: place the L/R toggle switch in neutral, then use the pad to fold the mirrors in or out.

    3. 3Correction

      Repair

      • If the mirror shows these conditions, cycle it inboard and back outboard with the electric controls; this makes the mirrors click into the proper detents.

      Caution

      • New vehicle prep technicians should know these procedures and verify proper operation of the mirrors before delivery.

    Remedy
    Electrically Folding Mirrors There are some misunderstandings about the operation of RPO DL3 mirrors on 2003 full size pickups and utilities (fig 12) . The mirrors in this option can be folded inboard electrically (when entering a car wash, or parking in a confined space, for instance) using the same switches normally used for adjusting the individual mirrors. Place the L/R toggle switch in neutral. Then use the pad to fold the mirrors in or out. These mirrors must always be moved electrically. If a mirror is folded inward manually, and then moved back outboard manually, the mirror will not latch into the detent. The result is that the mirror may move and/or shake. TIP: If the mirror displays these conditions, simply cycle the mirror inboard and back outboard using the electric controls. This will cause the mirrors to click into the proper detents. New vehicle prep technicians should be made aware of these procedures and should verify proper operation of the mirrors before delivery.

    Remedy
    This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician about vibration complaints that are one of the most challenging complaints to accurately diagnose and repair. Technician will need to use Pico Oscilloscope Diagnostic Kit to effectively diagnosis vehicles. Technician should drive the vehicle will using the Pico Oscilloscope to record data. After the data is recorded it should be reviewed to determine the root cause of the concern. If a repair attempt made the concern better but not eliminated or had no affect at all, and are requesting assistance from General Motors Technical Assistance Center record another Pico file and save it to the computer. After the new Pico Oscilloscope data has been saved email the data to General Motors Technical Assistance Center in the subject line include ?Vibration? ?Business Associate Code? and the last 8 of the Vehicle Identification Number.
