F - BASIC TESTING - 2.2L 1997 ENGINE PERFORMANCE General Motors Corp. - Basic Diagnostic Procedures - 2.2L

INTRODUCTION The following diagnostic steps help prevent overlooking simple problems. This is also where to begin diagnosis for no-start condition. The first step in diagnosing any driveability problem is verifying the customer's complaint by test driving vehicle under the conditions in which the problem reportedly occurred. Before entering self-diagnostics, perform a careful and complete visual inspection. Most engine control problems result from mechanical breakdowns, poor electrical connections or damaged/misrouted vacuum hoses. Before condemning the computerized system, perform each test listed in this article. NOTE:

Unless otherwise instructed in test procedures, perform all voltage tests using a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) with a minimum 10-megohm input impedance.

PRELIMINARY INSPECTION & ADJUSTMENTS VISUAL INSPECTION Visually inspect all electrical wiring. Look for chafed, stretched, cut or pinched wiring. Ensure electrical connectors fit tightly and are not corroded. Ensure vacuum hoses are properly routed and not pinched or cut. If necessary, see VACUUM DIAGRAMS article to verify routing and connections. Inspect air induction system for possible vacuum leaks. MECHANICAL INSPECTION Compression

Check engine mechanical condition with a compression gauge, vacuum gauge, or an engine analyzer. See engine analyzer manual for specific instructions. For compression specifications, see the SPECIFICATIONS article. WARNING: Because fuel injectors on many models are triggered by ignition switch during cranking mode, DO NOT use ignition switch during compression tests. Use a remote starter to crank engine to prevent fire hazard or engine's oiling system contamination. Exhaust System Backpressure

Before replacing any components, check exhaust system for restrictions. Use a vacuum gauge or a low-pressure (0-5 psi) gauge to check exhaust system. If a vacuum gauge is used, connect vacuum gauge hose to intake manifold vacuum port and start engine. Observe vacuum gauge. Partially open throttle and hold steady. If vacuum gauge reading slowly drops after Microsoft Saturday, August 29, 2009 11:40:03 AM

stabilizing, exhaust system should be checked for a restriction. If using a low pressure gauge, connect gauge in the following manner: 

Check At Oxygen Sensor Remove oxygen sensor. Install backpressure tester in place of oxygen sensor. After test is completed, coat oxygen sensor threads with anti-seize compound before installation.

Diagnosis

1. Start engine and bring to operating temperature. Increase engine speed to 2000-2500 RPM and note gauge. If reading exceeds 1.25 psi (.09 kg/cm2 ), exhaust system is restricted. 2. Check exhaust system for collapsed pipe, heat distress and possible internal muffler failure. If none of these conditions exist, check for restricted catalytic converter. Replace as required.

NO-START DIAGNOSIS NOTE:

For terminal and circuit ID, see the WIRING DIAGRAMS article.

DEFINITION No-start is defined as engine cranks okay but does not start. Engine may fire a few times. NO START - ENGINE CRANKS OKAY NOTE:

Before performing following tests, check battery condition, engine cranking speed and fuel supply.

General Inspection

1. Ensure proper starting procedure is being used. Visually check vacuum hoses for splits, kinks and proper connections as shown on Vehicle Emission Control Information label.

1997-98 ENGINE PERFORMANCE Removal, Overhaul & Installation 2.2L

MODEL IDENTIFICATION Vehicle model is identified by fifth character of Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). VIN is stamped on metal pad on top of left end of instrument panel, near windshield.

INTRODUCTION This article contains removal, overhaul and installation procedures (when given by manufacturer). If component removal and installation is primarily an unbolt and bolt-on procedure, only a torque specification may be furnished.

COMPUTERIZED ENGINE CONTROLS POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) NOTE:

All vehicles are equipped with either an Engine Control Module (ECM), Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or Vehicle Control Module (VCM) for engine control. Unless specifically stated, references to PCM also apply to ECM and VCM equipped vehicles. Some vehicles equipped with an electronicallycontrolled transmission also use a Transmission Control Module (TCM) for transmission control. CAUTION: Electronic components used in control systems are designed to carry very low voltages. As little as a 30-volt charge created by static electricity can cause a total or degrading failure in PCM or other electronic components containing integrated circuits. Before servicing PCM, technician must ground himself and work area to discharge static electricity. DO NOT remove part from packaging until ready to install. Ground any static-proof package before opening. DO NOT touch electrical terminals of components unless properly grounded. DO NOT lay electrical components on car seat, carpeting or dashboard. Use electrostatic protection mat and ground strap whenever possible.

NOTE:

Before replacing PCM, carefully inspect all wiring and control components. Failure to test for short circuits may result in repeated PCM failure due to shorts and Quad-Driver failure. To prevent internal damage to PCM, ensure ignition switch is in OFF position when connecting or disconnecting PCM connectors or any electrical components.

NOTE:

If the diagnostic procedures call for the PCM to be replaced, the PCM should be checked first to see if it is the correct part. DTC P0601 indicates the EEPROM

programming has malfunctioned. When DTC P0601 is obtained, re-program the EEPROM. Removal

PCM is located in right corner of engine compartment. Ensure ignition switch is in OFF position. The ignition should be OFF for at least 10 seconds before disconnecting power to the PCM so the IAC valve has time to move to the engine OFF position. Disconnect negative battery cable. Move the PCM retention bar and retainer away from the PCM. Unplug harness connectors from PCM. Remove PCM from vehicle.

Fig. 1: Locating PCM Retainer And PCM Courtesy of GENERAL MOTORS CORP. NOTE:

After installation of a NEW PCM, Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) will remain on until PCM is programmed.

Installation

retainer into the PCM bracket slots. If NEW PCM has been installed, PCM MUST BE programmed and the crankshaft position system variation procedure must be performed.. For PCM programming, See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION. For crankshaft position system variation learn, see Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn. ELECTRICALLY ERASABLE PROGRAMMABLE READ-ONLY MEMORY (EEPROM) EEPROM is a permanent memory that is part of PCM. EEPROM cannot be replaced. EEPROM contains program and calibration information that PCM uses to control powertrain. If PCM is replaced, ensure that NEW PCM software/calibration is correct and most recent version for vehicle. EEPROM must be programmed when NEW PCM is installed. Program EEPROM using latest software for that specific vehicle. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION.

IGNITION SYSTEM KNOCK SENSOR (KS) MODULE NOTE:

Knock sensor module is an integral part of PCM.

CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR Removal & Installation

On engines with distributorless ignition, CMP sensor is located in the engine block adjacent to cam. See Fig. 2. CAUTION: To avoid any vehicle damage, serious personal injury or death when major components are removed from the vehicle and the vehicle is supported by a hoist, support the vehicle with jack stands at the opposite end from which the components are being removed and strap the vehicle to the hoist. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Fig. 3: Locating CKP Sensor Courtesy of GENERAL MOTORS CORP. Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn

IMPORTANT: A Crankshaft Position System Variation Learning Procedure must be performed any time a change is made to the crankshaft sensor to crankshaft relationship. Changing the crank sensor to crankshaft relationship will not allow the PCM to detect misfire at all speeds and loads accurately. Resulting in a possible false misfire DTC being set. Removing a part for inspection and then reinstalling the same part is considered a disturbance. A false DTC P0300 could be set if this procedure is not performed. The learn procedure is required after the following service procedures have been performed, regardless of whether or not DTC P1336 is set:     

PCM replacement. Engine replacement. Crankshaft replacement. Crankshaft position sensor replacement. Any engine repair(s) which disturbs the crankshaft/harmonic balancer to the crankshaft position sensor relationship CAUTION: Before performing the Crankshaft Position System Variation Learning

Procedure always set the vehicle parking brake and block the drive wheels in order to prevent personal injury. Release the throttle immediately when the engine starts to decelerate in order to eliminate over revving the engine. Once the learn procedure is completed, the control module will return engine control to the operator and the engine will respond to the throttle position. IMPORTANT: The battery must be fully charged and in good condition. The scan tool connection at the DLC is clean and tight before starting the Crankshaft Position System Variation Learning Procedure. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Close the hood. Block the drive wheels and set the vehicle parking brake. Put vehicle in Park or Neutral. Turn all the accessories OFF. Install a scan tool.

Disconnect battery terminals. Loosen fuel tank cap to relieve tank pressure. Connect one end of fuel gauge hose to pressure relief fitting at rear of intake manifold. Place other end of hose in a container. Open relief valve to release pressure. COOLING SYSTEM BLEEDING 1. Fill radiator to base of filler neck. Start engine. Place A/C-heater control in any position except MAX. Select highest temperature setting. Idle engine until lower radiator hose is hot. 2. Increase engine speed to 3000 RPM and then back to idle. Do this 5 times to expel any air trapped in system. Fill radiator as necessary. Install radiator cap. Allow engine to cool. Fill coolant recovery reservoir as necessary. 3. Crush and add 2 Coolant Sealant Pellets (GM P/N 3634621) or equivalent to radiator (if reservoir is not pressurized) or coolant reservoir (if reservoir is pressurized). POWER STEERING BLEEDING NOTE:

If air was introduced into hydraulic system during servicing, bleed system. Aerated fluid, which appears Light Tan in color, results in poor steering performance and will cause pump damage.

1. Turn ignition off. Raise and support vehicle with front wheels off ground. Using steering wheel, turn wheels fully to left. Add power steering fluid to FULL COLD mark on dipstick. Turn wheels from side to side at least 20 times, but DO NOT touch steering stops. Add fluid as necessary to maintain level at FULL COLD mark. 2. Start engine. With engine idling, check fluid level. Add fluid as necessary to bring fluid level to FULL COLD mark. Return wheels to center position. Lower vehicle. Continue to run engine for 2 to 3 minutes to raise temperature of fluid and eliminate trapped air. Turn steering wheel in both directions. 3. Road test vehicle. Check for leaks. Ensure fluid level is at FULL HOT mark when fluid is stabilized at operating temperature. ENGINE CAUTION: Minimal clearance exists between oil pump pick-up tube and bottom of oil pan. DO NOT place jack under oil pan, crankshaft pulley or any sheet metal when lifting engine. WARNING: Provide addition support for opposite end from which components are being removed. When removing major components of vehicle, vehicle frame should be chained to hoist pads at same end as removed components to prevent tip-off. Failure to follow these precautionary measures could result in vehicle damage or serious personal injury. NOTE:

Flush out oil and engine cooling system when installing new engine.

COMPUTERIZED ENGINE CONTROLS POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) CAUTION: All vehicles are equipped with either an Engine Control Module (ECM), Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or Vehicle Control Module (VCM) for engine control. Unless specifically stated, references to PCM also apply to ECM and VCM equipped vehicles. Some vehicles equipped with an electronically controlled transmission also use a Transmission Control Module (TCM) for transmission control. Electronic components used in control systems are designed to carry very low voltages. As little as a 30volt charge created by static electricity can cause a total or degrading failure in PCM or other electronic components containing integrated circuits. Before servicing PCM, technician must ground himself/herself and work area to discharge static electricity. CAUTION: DO NOT remove part from packaging until ready to install. Ground any static-proof package before opening. DO NOT touch electrical terminals of components unless properly grounded. DO NOT lay electrical components on car seat, carpeting or dashboard. Use electrostatic protection mat and ground strap whenever possible. NOTE:

Before replacing PCM, carefully inspect all wiring and control components. Failure to test for short circuits may result in repeated PCM failure due to shorts and Quad-Driver failure. To prevent internal damage to PCM, ensure ignition switch is in OFF position when connecting or disconnecting PCM connectors or any electrical components.

NOTE:

When replacing defective PCM, remove knock sensor module from defective

1997 ENGINE PERFORMANCE Self-Diagnostics - 4.3L S/T Series

INTRODUCTION Most engine control problems are the result of mechanical breakdowns, poor electrical connections or damaged vacuum hoses. Before considering the computer system as a possible cause of problems, perform checks and inspections covered in the BASIC TESTING - 4.3L article. Failure to do so may result in lost diagnostic time. If no faults found performing procedures in the BASIC TESTING - 4.3L article, proceed with DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. If no fault codes are present and driveability problems exist, proceed to the TESTS W/O CODES article for diagnosis by symptom (i.e., ROUGH IDLE, NO START, etc.). If only intermittent codes are present, see INTERMITTENTS in the TESTS W/O CODES article.

SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM NOTE:

For On-Board Diagnostic System Check see the BASIC TESTING - 4.3L article.

NOTE:

Powertrain Control Module (PCM) may also be referred to as Vehicle Control Module (VCM) in some diagnostic text and illustrations. Terms may be used interchangeably.

PCM/VCM is equipped with a self-diagnostic system, which detects system failures or abnormalities. When a malfunction occurs, PCM/VCM will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and, in most cases, illuminate the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) located on instrument cluster. Malfunctions are recorded as hard failures or as intermittent failures. There are 4 types of DTC category:    

Type "A" - Emissions related, turns on MIL the first time DTC sets. Type "B" - Emissions related, turns on MIL if fault is active for 2 consecutive driving cycles. Type "C" - Non-emissions related, does not turn on MIL, but will turn on SERVICE light. Type "D" - Non-emissions related, does not turn on MIL or SERVICE light.

HARD FAILURES Most hard failures cause MIL to illuminate and remain on until malfunction is repaired. If MIL comes on and remains on (light may flash) during vehicle operation, cause of malfunction must be determined. See DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE . If a sensor fails, PCM/VCM will use a substitute value in its calculations to continue engine operation. In this condition, vehicle is functional, but it will most likely display degraded driveability. INTERMITTENT FAILURES Microsoft Saturday, August 29, 2009 11:39:18 11:39:10 AM

Page 1

© 2005 Mitchell Repair Information Company, LLC.


1997 Chevrolet S10 Pickup 1997 ENGINE PERFORMANCE Self-Diagnostics - 4.3L S/T Series

Intermittent failures cause MIL to flicker or glow and go out about 10 seconds after intermittent fault goes away. Corresponding DTC, however, will be retained in PCM/VCM memory. If related fault does not reoccur within 50 engine starts, trouble code will be erased from control module memory. Intermittent failures may be caused by sensor, connector or wiring related problems. See INTERMITTENTS in the TESTS W/O CODES article. NOTE:

OBD II vehicles have options available in the scan tool DTC mode to display enhanced information available. However, to fully utilize information and procedures requires the use of a Tech 1 or 2 scan tool. See scan tool operator's manual for additional information.

The following are Tech 1 or 2 scan tool sub-menus in the DTC INFO and SPECIFIC DTC modes: DTC INFO MODE Used to search for a specific type of stored DTC information. There are 7 choices in this mode. Technician may be instructed to test DTC(s) in a certain manner. Follow the affected DTC test procedures. To get complete description of any status, hit ENTER key before pressing the desired F-key. DTC STATUS This selection will display any DTC(s) that have not run during the current ignition cycle or have reported a test failure during this ignition up to a maximum of 33 DTCs. DTC test which run and passed will cause that affected DTC to be removed from scan tool screen. FAIL THIS IGN. This selection will display all DTCs that have failed during the present ignition cycle. HISTORY This selection will display only DTC(s) that are stored in the control module's history memory. It will not type "B" DTCs. It will display all type "A" and type "B" DTCs that have the MIL illuminated and have failed within the last 40 warm-up cycles. It will also display type "C" DTCs that have failed within the 40 warm-up cycles. LAST TEST FAIL This selection will display only DTCs that have failed the last time the test ran. The last test may have ran during the previous ignition cycle, if a type "A" or "B" DTC is displayed. For type "C" DTCs, the last failure must have occurred during the current ignition cycle to be displayed as LAST TEST FAIL. MIL REQUEST This selection will display only DTCs that are requesting the MIL. Type "C" DTCs cannot be displayed using this option. This selection will report type "B" DTCs only after the MIL has been requested. NOT RUN SCC Microsoft Saturday, August 29, 2009 11:39:10 AM

1997 Chevrolet S10 Pickup 1997 ENGINE PERFORMANCE Self-Diagnostics - 4.3L S/T Series

Not Run Since Code Clear option will display up to 33 DTCs that have not run since DTCs were last cleared. Since any displayed DTCs have not run, their condition (passing or failing) is unknown. TEST FAIL SCC Test Fail Since Code Clear selection will display all active and history DTCs that have reported a test failure since the last time DTCs were cleared. DTCs that last failed over 40 warm-up cycles before this option is selected will not be displayed. FAILED SINCE CLEAR This message indicates the DTC has failed at least once within the last 40 warm-up cycles since the last time DTCs were cleared. NOT RUN SINCE CL. Not Run Since Cleared message indicates that the selected diagnostic test has not run since the last time DTCs were cleared. Therefore, the diagnostic test status (passed or failed) is unknown. After DTCs are cleared, this message will continue to be displayed until the diagnostic test runs. NOT RUN THIS IGN. Not Run This Ignition message indicates the selected diagnostic test has not run this ignition cycle. TEST RAN AND PASSED This message indicates the selected diagnostic test has:    

Passed the last test. Ran and passed during this ignition cycle. Ran and passed since DTCs were last cleared. Test has not failed since DTCs were last cleared.

If this message is displayed, repair is done. If FAILED THIS IGN. message is displayed, repair is incomplete and further diagnosis is required. DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE Diagnosis of computerized engine control system should be performed in following order: 1. Ensure all engine systems not related to computer system are operating properly. DO NOT proceed with testing unless all other problems have been repaired. ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM CHECK must be performed before using specific DTC testing procedure. See the BASIC TESTING 4.3L article. 2. If DTC(s) were displayed, determine whether codes are hard or intermittent trouble codes. Hard codes will cause MIL to illuminate continuously while engine is running. See HARD OR INTERMITTENT Microsoft Saturday, August 29, 2009 11:39:10 AM

Page 3

1997 Chevrolet S10 Pickup 1997 ENGINE PERFORMANCE Self-Diagnostics - 4.3L S/T Series

TROUBLE CODE DETERMINATION . For diagnosing hard codes, proceed to appropriate DTC test. For diagnosing intermittent codes, proceed to INTERMITTENTS in the TESTS W/O CODES article. 3. If no DTCs are present and a driveability problem exists, refer to SYMPTOMS in the TESTS W/O CODES article. Doing so will help identify proper system or component to check in the SYSTEM/COMPONENT TESTS article. 4. After necessary repairs are made, clear DTCs, verify vehicle will enter "closed loop" operation and ensure DTC does not reset. READING TROUBLE CODES NOTE:

Use of Tech 1 or 2 scan tool is required to retrieve DTCs. Refer to user reference manuals supplied with scan tool.

HARD OR INTERMITTENT TROUBLE CODE DETERMINATION During any diagnostic procedure, determine if DTC(s) are hard failure codes or intermittent failure codes. Diagnostic procedures will not always help analyze intermittent codes. To determine hard codes and intermittent codes: 1. Enter diagnostic mode. Read and record all stored DTCs. Exit diagnostic mode, and clear DTCs. See CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTC) . 2. Apply parking brake, and place transmission in Neutral or Park. Block drive wheels, and start engine. MIL should go out. Operate warm engine at specified RPM for 2 minutes and note MIL. 3. If MIL illuminates, enter diagnostic mode. Read and record DTCs. This will reveal hard failure codes. Oxygen sensor related codes may require a road test to reset hard failure after DTCs were cleared. 4. If MIL does not illuminate, all stored DTCs were intermittent failures, except as noted above. NOTE:

DTCs will be recorded at various operating times. Some codes require operation of that sensor or switch for 5 seconds; others require operation for 5 minutes or longer at normal operating temperature, vehicle speed and load. Therefore, some DTCs may not set in a service bay operational mode and may require road testing vehicle in order to duplicate conditions under which code will set.

CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTC) To clear DTCs from memory, either to determine if malfunction will occur again or after making necessary repairs, disconnect power supply to ECM/PCM/VCM for at least 30 seconds or clear codes using a scan tool. ECM/PCM/VCM LOCATION On most models, ECM/PCM/VCM is located behind right or left side of dash, behind right or left kick panel, or on left or right side of engine compartment. For more precise location, see COMPONENT LOCATIONS in the SYSTEM/COMPONENT TESTS article. Microsoft Saturday, August 29, 2009 11:39:10 AM

DIAGNOSTIC MATERIALS Diagnostic Aids

Diagnostic aids are additional tips used to help diagnose trouble codes when inspected circuit is okay. Diagnostic aids may help lead to a definitive solution to trouble code problem. SPECIAL TOOLS (DIAGNOSTIC) NOTE:

A scan tool plugged into DLC is used to read DTCs and check voltages in system on serial data line. A scan tool is REQUIRED to retrieve vehicle information.

Computerized engine control system is most easily diagnosed using scan tool; however, other tools may aid in diagnosing problems. These tools are a tachometer, test light, ohmmeter, digital voltmeter with a 10-megohm input impedance (minimum), vacuum pump, vacuum gauge, fuel injector test lights and 6 jumper wires 6" long (one wire with female connectors at both ends, one wire with male connectors at both ends and 4 wires with male and female connectors at opposite ends). A test light, rather than a voltmeter, must be used when indicated by a diagnostic test. In addition, special jumper harnesses or testers may be required by manufacturer to facilitate diagnosis. SCAN TOOL USAGE NOTE:

Before connecting scan tool to vehicle, diagnostic system should be checked to determine if system is operating properly and if information received will be accurate. This is done by performing ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM CHECK located in the BASIC TESTING - 4.3L article. If vehicle does not pass OBD system check, information received may be invalid.

Scan tool is a specialized tester which, when plugged into DLC, can be used to diagnose on-board computer control systems by providing instant access to circuit voltage information without need to crawl under dash or hood to backprobe sensors and connectors. Scan tool cuts down diagnostic time dramatically by furnishing input data (voltage signals) which can be compared to specification parameters. See SCAN DATA . They may also furnish information on output device (solenoids and motors) status. However, status parameters only indicate output signals have been sent to devices by PCM/VCM; they do not indicate whether devices have responded properly to signal. Verify proper response at output device using a voltmeter or test light. A problem may exist even if DTCs are not present. About 80 percent of driveability problems occur without DTCs. Sensors that are out of calibration will not set a DTC but will cause driveability problems. Using a scan tool is the easiest method of checking sensor specifications and other data parameters. Scan tool is also useful in finding intermittent wiring problems by wiggling wiring harnesses and connections (key on, engine off) while observing data parameters. See SCAN DATA.

Diagnostic Aids

Check for stuck or faulty Throttle Position (TP) sensor. Using scan tool, read TP ANGLE value with throttle closed. If value is not zero percent, check for and repair the following condition(s):   

Throttle plate sticking or excessive deposits on throttle plate or throttle bore. TP sensor signal circuit shorted to voltage. Faulty connection or high resistance in TP sensor ground circuit.

If none of the listed conditions exist and TP ANGLE value is not zero percent, replace TP sensor. Check for faulty connections or damaged harness. Ensure harness is not routed too close to high-voltage wires, such as spark plug cables. If connections and harness appear okay, observe scan tool while moving all related harness and connectors. A change in scan tool display indicates fault location. Check for plugged intake air duct or dirty air filter. A wide-open throttle acceleration from a stop should cause MAF reading on scan tool to increase from about 5-7 grams at idle to about 100 grams or greater at time of 1-2 shift. If not, check for restriction. Check for a skewed MAP sensor, which can cause Barometric (BARO) pressure reading to be incorrectly calculated. This condition may also cause high Idle Air Control (IAC) counts. If IAC counts are high, replace Microsoft Saturday, August 29, 2009 11:39:10 AM

VCM reads and stores sensor voltage information and evaluates the voltage samples to determine amount of time sensor voltage is out of range. If HO2S voltage is out of predetermined range, DTC will set. Conditions required to test for DTC are:      

No ECT, IAT, MAF, MAP or TP sensor DTCs set. No EGR and EVAP system DTC set. No other DTC tests in progress. No device controls active. Engine running at least 2 minutes. HO2S voltage is greater than 299 mV, but less than 598 mV.

Circuit Description

VCM reads HO2S signal voltage and adjusts fuel delivery based on this voltage. A change made to fuel delivery is indicated by Long Term (LT) and Short Term (ST) FUEL TRIM values. ST FUEL TRIM values change rapidly in response to HO2S signal voltages. These changes fine tune engine fueling. LT FUEL TRIM values changes in response to trends in ST fuel trim. LT fuel trim makes coarse adjustments to fueling in order to re-center and restore control to ST fuel trim. LT and ST fuel trim can be read by using a scan tool. Ideal FUEL TRIM value is about 128. Fuel trim value greater than 128 indicates that VCM is adding fuel to compensate for a lean condition. Fuel trim less than 128 indicates that VCM is reducing amount of fuel to compensate for rich condition. DTC will set if VCM detects an excessively rich or lean condition. Conditions required to test for DTC are:        

A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH CONTROLS 1997 A/C GENERAL SERVICING General Motors Corp. - A/C Compressor Clutch Controls

DESCRIPTION & OPERATION WARNING: To avoid injury from accidental air bag deployment, read and follow all SERVICE PRECAUTIONS and DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM procedures in AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEM article in the ACCESSORIES/SAFETY EQUIPMENT section. NOTE:

Powertrain Control Module (PCM) may also be known as Vehicle Control Module (VCM).

The A/C compressor clutch relay is controlled by the PCM. The PCM improves idle quality by delaying A/C compressor clutch engagement until idle speed is increased, or disengages A/C compressor clutch when idle speed is too low. A/C compressor clutch is cycled by PCM. PCM smooths cycling of A/C compressor clutch by adding fuel the instant A/C compressor clutch is applied.

TROUBLE SHOOTING NOTE:

This article contains testing that is part of General Motors Computerized Engine Controls. Only testing procedures required to test A/C compressor clutch control circuit is included. Other diagnostic information may be referenced while performing A/C compressor clutch control diagnosis. For complete information on General Motors Computerized Engine Control systems, see TESTS W/CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE section.

NOTE:

To help save diagnostic time, ALWAYS check for blown fuses or fusible links before proceeding with any testing. If fuses are blown, locate and repair short circuit before replacing fuses. Ensure all related relay and wire harness connections are clean and tight. Repair as necessary.

A/C CLUTCH CIRCUIT DIAGNOSIS (2.2L VIN 4 - S10 & SONOMA ONLY) Description

PCM receives an A/C request signal from Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) over serial data line. When A/C is requested, PCM provides a ground path to A/C clutch relay control circuit. When relay circuit is grounded, A/C compressor clutch relay is energized. After A/C request has been selected, PCM will delay grounding A/C compressor relay control circuit for .3 second. This allows PCM to adjust engine idle RPM for additional load. PCM will temporarily de-energize A/C compressor clutch relay for a hot engine restart, wide open throttle, engine speed greater than 6000 RPM, or Idle Air Control (IAC) valve reset. A/C compressor (DTC) P0530 is set, or there is no A/C request signal due to an open A/C select switch circuit. Compressor Clutch Control Circuit Diagnosis

Diagnostic Aids

If DTC P0530 is set, do not perform this diagnostic procedure. Diagnose appropriate DTC before proceeding. See the TESTS W/CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE section. A/C refrigerant pressure less than 43 psi (3.0 kg/cm2 ), or greater than 428 psi (30.1 kg/cm2 ) will cause PCM to disable A/C compressor clutch. With engine running and A/C on, use scan tool to monitor A/C high-side system pressure for 2 minutes. If pressure goes out of range, see the A/C-HEATER SYSTEM TROUBLE SHOOTING - MANUAL article. A/C CLUTCH CIRCUIT DIAGNOSIS (4.3L VIN W & X - ALL MODELS) Description

Vehicle Control Module (VCM) controls A/C clutch to improve idle quality and performance by delaying clutch engagement until idle speed is increased, releasing clutch when idle speed is too low, and smooths cycling of compressor by providing additional fuel the instant clutch is applied. Turning on A/C supplies battery voltage through pressure switches to VCM. When VCM receives voltage on A/C request signal, A/C enable relay circuit is grounded. As a result, A/C compressor clutch engages. Compressor Clutch Control Circuit Diagnosis

1. Before performing diagnosis, ensure A/C system is adequately charged. If system is not adequately charged, evacuate and recharge system. If system is adequately charged, go to next step. 2. Start engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature. Turn A/C on, then off. If A/C clutch engages, then disengages within 20 seconds, go to the A/C-HEATER SYSTEM TROUBLE SHOOTING - MANUAL article for A/C system diagnosis. If operation is not as specified, go to step 3). 3. Connect scan tool. Turn A/C on. Monitor A/C REQUEST data. If display reads YES, go to next step. If display does not read YES, go to step 8). 4. Disconnect A/C compressor clutch harness connector. Connect a test light between A/C clutch signal circuit (Dark Green wire) and ground circuit (Black wire) of A/C compressor clutch harness connector. If test light comes on, go to next step.

SELF-DIAGNOSIS Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)

Diagnostic Energy Reserve Module (DERM) provides a record of DTCs stored according to type. Current DTCs are faults presently being detected. Current DTCs are stored in Random Access Memory (RAM) and are erased when fault is corrected. Current DTCs can be read using a scan tester such as Tech 1. Scan Tester Diagnostics

A scan tester will read and clear current codes and history codes. Ensure scan tester contains correct cartridge for SIR diagnostics. To use scan tester, connect it to DLC connector, plug in power source and turn ignition switch to ON position. Follow scan tester manufacturer instructions for communication with SIR system. Scan tester reads serial data from DERM data link output to DLC connector. NOTE:

Failure to follow diagnostic procedures may result in extended diagnostic time and incorrect diagnosis and parts replacement.

Diagnostic Procedure

1. SIR SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC CHECK should always be starting point of SIR diagnostics. See SIR DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK under DIAGNOSTIC TABLES. SIR DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK checks for proper INFLATABLE RESTRAINT indicator light operation and SIR trouble codes using flash code and scan tester methods. 2. SIR DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK will lead to correct diagnostic table to diagnose SIR problems. Always perform SIR DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK after repair or diagnostic procedures to ensure repair is correct and no other problems are present.

DIAGNOSTIC TABLES SIR DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK WARNING: To avoid air bag deployment and injury when trouble shooting system, only use test equipment specified in diagnostic tables. Under no circumstances should battery powered test equipment or test light be used. Carefully follow all instructions. Description

When ignition switch is turned ON, IGNITION 1 voltage is applied from AIR BAG fuse to DERM at IGNITION 1 input terminal Nos. A9 and A10 and from GAUGES fuse to DERM at REDUNDANT INDICATOR IGNITION 1 input terminal No. B2. DERM responds by flashing AIR BAG indicator 7 times then turning off while performing tests on SIR system. When engine is being cranked, system voltage is applied from CRANK fuse to DERM at CRANK input terminal No. B10. DERM responds by grounding SIR Indicator output terminal No. B1 until system voltage is Microsoft Saturday, August 29, 2009 11:47:21 AM

removed from CRANK input. This results in AIR BAG indicator being on steady during cranking. After cranking, DERM will flash AIR BAG indicator 6 times and perform test on SIR system. Diagnostic Aids

The order in which diagnostic trouble codes are diagnosed is important. Failure to diagnose the DTCs in order specified may result in extended diagnostic time, incorrect diagnosis, or incorrect parts replacement. NOTE:

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

Test numbers refer to test numbers on diagnostic table. For circuit number identification, see WIRING DIAGRAM .

AIR BAG indicator should flash 7 times after ignition switch is turned to ON. AIR BAG indicator should remain on steady during cranking. After cranking, AIR BAG indicator should flash 6 times then turn off. This test checks for proper operation of Serial Data line. Test also will determine whether history diagnostic trouble codes are stored and, if so, identify them. This test checks for DERM ability to communicate through the Serial Data line. This test refers to appropriate DTC table for diagnosis of history DTCs set to memory in DERM. When AIR BAG warning light flashes four times during BULB TEST, this indicates a malfunction in redundant lamp driver circuitry. These malfunctions are diagnosed by DTC B1062 table. Improper operation of AIR BAG indicator is indicated. This test differentiates an indicator stays ON condition from an indicator does not come ON condition.

When DERM recognizes IGNITION 1 voltage applied to terminal Nos. A9 and A10 is in normal operating voltage range, AIR BAG indicator is flashed 7 times to verify operation. At this time DERM performs Turn ON tests followed by CONTINUOUS MONITORING tests. When no malfunctions are detected, DERM proceeds to INITIATOR ASSEMBLY RESISTANCE test. When a malfunction is detected, DERM sets a current diagnostic trouble code and turns AIR BAG indicator on. DERM will clear current diagnostic trouble codes and move them to a history file when malfunction is not longer detected and/or ignition switch is cycled, except for DTC B1051. DTC B1051 can only be cleared using a scan tool clear codes command. NOTE:

Test numbers refer to test numbers on diagnostic table. For circuit number identification, see WIRING DIAGRAM .

1. The SIR DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK must be starting point for all diagnostics. 2. This test confirms a current malfunction. If no current malfunction is occurring (History DTC set) Diagnostic Aids for appropriate diagnostic trouble code should be referenced. DERM should not be replaced for a History DTC, except when directed by appropriate diagnostic table. 3. This test checks for a malfunction introduced into SIR system during diagnostic process. It is extremely unlikely that a malfunctioning DERM would cause a new malfunction to occur during diagnostic process. 4. When all circuitry outside DERM has been found to operate properly, as indicated by appropriate diagnostic table, then and only then should DERM be replaced. 5. The symptom or DTC is no longer occurring. The condition may be intermittent or inadvertently repaired during diagnosis of SIR system.

DESCRIPTION & OPERATION WARNING: To avoid injury from accidental air bag deployment, read and carefully follow all WARNINGS and SERVICE PRECAUTIONS . SUPPLEMENTAL INFLATABLE RESTRAINT (SIR) SYSTEM The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) system is designed to protect the driver in a frontal collision. The air bag will deploy only upon frontal or near frontal impact of no more than 30 degrees off the center line of vehicle. System is not designed to deploy in rear impacts, side impacts, or rollovers. A frontal impact of sufficient severity (comparable to a collision into a solid wall at approximately 14 MPH or more) will cause sensors in vehicle to detect this sudden deceleration. These sensors, in turn, trigger the air bag module. DIAGNOSTIC ENERGY RESERVE MODULE (DERM) DERM performs diagnostic monitoring of all system components, stores both current and past SIR system fault Microsoft Saturday, August 29, 2009 11:47:22 AM

code information, warns driver of SIR system faults by controlling AIR BAG warning light, and records SIR system status during a vehicle accident. In addition, DERM maintains a 36-Volt Loop Reserve (36VLR) energy supply to provide sufficient deployment energy for about 2 minutes if vehicle system voltage is low or is lost in an accident. A 24-pin connector connects DERM to SIR harness. Harness connector uses terminals and shorting bar in terminal contact area. DERM connector also has a shorting bar that connects AIR BAG warning input to ground when the DERM connector is disconnected. With DERM disconnected, AIR BAG warning light remains on when ignition switch is in RUN, BULB TEST, or START positions. DERM is located under or behind instrument panel. AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT When ignition switch is in RUN, BULB TEST, or START positions, battery voltage is applied to AIR BAG warning light. DERM illuminates this light by providing a ground to a lamp driver. DERM transmits a request to turn on AIR BAG warning light via the serial data line. When ignition is first turned on, AIR BAG warning light verifies light and DERM operation by flashing 7 times. Light is also used to warn driver of SIR electrical system faults which could potentially affect SIR system operation. AIR BAG warning light is the key to driver notification of SIR system faults. In addition, the light provides diagnostic information by flashing Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) when the flash code diagnostic mode is entered on models without on-board diagnosis. AIR BAG warning light notifies driver of SIR system faults. ARMING SENSOR Arming sensor is a protective switch located in power feed side (positive side) of deployment loop. It is calibrated to close at low-level velocity changes (lower than discriminating sensors). This assures that the air bag module is connected directly to 36VLR output of DERM or ignition voltage when either of the discriminating sensors close. Arming sensor consists of a sensing element, normally open switch contacts, a diagnostic resistor, and 2 diodes. Sensing element closes switch contacts when velocity of vehicle changes at a rate indicating potential need for deployment. A diagnostic resistor is connected in parallel with normally open switch contacts and allows for a small amount of current flow through deployment loop during normal undeployed conditions. This small current flow results in voltage drops across each component within loop. DERM monitors these voltage drops to detect circuit or component faults. The 2 diodes provide isolation between 36VLR output of DERM and ignition voltage. DISCRIMINATING SENSORS SIR systems have 2 discriminating sensors: the left forward discriminating sensor and the right forward discriminating sensor. Discriminating sensors are wired in parallel on the ground side of deployment loop. These sensors are calibrated to close when deceleration velocity changes are severe enough to warrant deployment.

Sensors consist of a sensing element, normally open switch contacts, and a diagnostic resistor. Sensing element closes the normally open switch contacts when vehicle velocity changes are severe enough to warrant deployment. A diagnostic resistor is connected in parallel with the normally open switch contacts within each of the sensors. These parallel resistors supply the ground path for current passing through the deployment loop during normal undeployed conditions. This small current flow results in a voltage drop across each component within loop. DERM monitors these voltage drops to detect circuit or component faults. SIR COIL ASSEMBLY SIR coil assembly consists of 2 current-carrying coils. It is installed in steering column and allows rotation of steering wheel while maintaining continuous (directly wired) contact of deployment loop through steering wheel air bag module. Slip rings are not used in SIR system to transmit current from column to steering wheel. Terminals and a shorting bar are used on coil assembly lower steering column Yellow 2-way connector. Shorting bar shorts the circuits to main coil and steering wheel air bag module when lower steering column connector is disconnected. This shorts the circuit to the air bag module, preventing unwanted deployment of the air bags when servicing the steering column or other SIR components. AIR BAG MODULE When the vehicle is in an accident of sufficient force to simultaneously close the arming sensor and at least one discriminating sensor, nitrogen gas inflates the cloth bag packed inside the steering wheel hub. As air bag is contacted by driver or passenger, the gas is vented through openings in the bag, which deflates almost as soon as it is completely deployed. There is a shorting bar on the air bag module side of the upper steering column connector which connects the SIR coil to the air bag module. The shorting bar shorts the air bag module circuit when the upper steering column connector is disconnected. The circuit to the air bag module is shorted in this way to help prevent unwanted deployment of the air bag when servicing the air bag module or steering column.

SERVICE PRECAUTIONS The following precautions should be observed when working with SIR system: 

 

 

The DERM maintains sufficient voltage to cause air bag deployment for up to 2 minutes after ignition is turned OFF, battery is disconnected, or fuse powering DERM is removed. In order to begin servicing immediately, air bag modules must be removed from the deployment loop. See DISABLING SYSTEM . After repairs, ensure AIR BAG warning light is working properly and no system faults are indicated. See SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK . Always wear safety glasses when servicing or handling an air bag module. Air bag module must be stored in its original special container until used for service. It must be stored in a clean, dry place, away from sources of extreme heat, sparks, or high electrical energy. Air bag modules or DERMs should not be subjected to temperatures above 150°F (65°C). Air bag modules or DERMs should not be used if they have been dropped from a height of 3 ft (0.9 m) or

greater. When placing a live air bag module on a bench or other surface, always make certain that the trim cover (finished side) is up and away from surface. This will reduce motion of module if accidentally deployed. After deployment, air bag surface may contain deposits of sodium hydroxide, which can irritate skin. Always wear safety glasses, rubber gloves and long-sleeved shirt during clean-up, and wash hands using mild soap and water. Follow correct disposal procedures. See DISPOSAL PROCEDURES . At no time should any electrical source be allowed near inflator on back of air bag module. DO NOT apply power to SIR system unless all components are connected or a diagnostic chart requests it, as this will set a diagnostic trouble code. When carrying a live air bag module, trim cover should be pointed away from your body to minimize injury in case of accidental deployment. DO NOT attempt to service DERM, front end discriminating sensor, SIR coil assembly, or air bag modules. If defective, these parts must be replaced. DO NOT probe a wire through insulator; this will damage it and eventually cause failure due to corrosion. When performing electrical tests, prevent accidental shorting of terminals. Such mistakes can damage fuses or components and may cause a second fault code to set, making diagnosis of original problem more difficult. When using diagnostic charts to diagnose SIR system, under no circumstances should a volt/ohmmeter, test light or any type of electrical equipment not specified by manufacturer be used. See SPECIAL TOOLS . If SIR system is not fully functional for any reason, vehicle should not be driven until system is repaired. DO NOT remove bulbs, modules, sensors or other components or in any way disable system from operating normally. If SIR system is not functional, park vehicle until repairs can be made.

SPECIAL TOOLS To avoid deployment when working on SIR system, DO NOT use electrical test equipment such as test lights, battery or A/C-powered volt/ohmmeter, or any type of electrical equipment other than those specified by manufacturer.

1997 Chevrolet S10 Pickup ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM 1997 BRAKES General Motors Corp. - Anti-Lock - 4WAL

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM 1997 BRAKES General Motors Corp. - Anti-Lock - 4WAL

DESCRIPTION The Kelsey-Hayes 4-Wheel Anti-Lock (4WAL) brake system is used to prevent wheel lock-up during heavy braking. This allows driver to maintain steering control while stopping vehicle in shortest distance possible. The system consists of Brake Pressure Modulator Valve (BPMV), Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS), Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or Vehicle Control Module (VCM), Wheel Speed Sensors (WSS), warning lights, electrical wiring and hydraulic lines. The Electro-Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU) is the entire unit, including the BPMV, Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) and combination valve. The EBCM is the electronic control portion of the ABS assembly. It is mounted on top of the BPMV located on left side of engine compartment, above fender well.

OPERATION When ignition is turned on, Yellow ANTI-LOCK and Red BRAKE warning lights will illuminate for 2 seconds as a bulb check. VCM performs a self-check of the 4WAL system, once each ignition cycle, when vehicle speed reaches 8 MPH. If faults are detected by VCM, ANTI-LOCK light will illuminate (in most cases) and 4WAL functions will be disabled while ANTI-LOCK light is on. A related Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be stored. The Red BRAKE light illuminates if parking brake is applied or a mechanical brake problem is detected. When brake pedal is depressed, brake switch voltage to VCM drops from 12 volts to one volt. At this point, VCM monitors wheel speed through an AC signal generated by speed sensors located at each wheel. If the deceleration rate of wheel speed reaches a preprogrammed rate, PCM/VCM will activate various control valves to prevent wheel lock-up by increasing or decreasing hydraulic pressure to each channel: left front, right front or rear wheels.

BLEEDING BRAKE SYSTEM ABS BLEEDING PROCEDURE NOTE:

Bleeding ABS system requires the use of Tech 1 scan tool. An assistant is required when performing bleeding procedures.

1. Raise and support vehicle. Begin bleeding at right rear wheel. Install a clear plastic hose to bleed screw. Immerse other end of hose in container that is partially filled with clean brake fluid. 2. Open bleed screw 1/2 to 1 full turn. Have assistant slowly depress brake pedal until it reaches full travel. Hold pedal until bleed screw is closed. Release brake pedal and wait 10-15 seconds. Repeat until clean bubble-free brake fluid is present at wheel bleed screw. 3. Check master cylinder fluid level every 4-6 strokes of brake pedal to avoid running system dry. Repeat steps 2) and 3) on left rear, then right front, then left front. After bleeding all 4 wheels, go to next step. 4. Using scan tool in FUNCTION TEST, run FUNCTION TEST 4 times consecutively while applying the Microsoft Saturday, August 29, 2009 11:26:16 11:26:12 AM

brake pedal firmly. Release brake pedal between each test. 5. Rebleed all 4 wheels using steps 2) and 3) to remove remaining air from brake system. Ensure brake pedal feel is appropriate before attempting to drive vehicle. Rebleed as many times as necessary to obtain appropriate pedal feel.

DIAGNOSIS NOTE:

When testing and diagnosing 4WAL system, use of Tech 1 scan tool is required.

The Vehicle Control Module (VCM) contains a self-diagnostic capability to detect system failures. When a DTC is set, the VCM may disable 4WAL system and illuminate ANTI-LOCK light for duration of ignition cycle. DTCs stored by VCM can be displayed using Tech 1 and appropriate cartridge. Before diagnosing 4WAL system, perform a comprehensive visual inspection of system by checking wiring harness connectors, harness routing (pay particular attention to wheel speed sensor wiring harness routing), applicable fuses in fuse block, and ground connections. Ensure brake fluid level in master cylinder reservoir is full. Start 4WAL system diagnosis using DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK . If failures are found when performing diagnostic system check, you will be directed to enter diagnostics to retrieve DTCs or perform SYMPTOM TESTS. DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK may indicate that system is functioning properly. RETRIEVING DTCS Connect Tech 1 scan tool to DLC located under steering column. Access 4WAL brake DTCs. Repair DTCs in the order they appear. See 4WAL DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) table for diagnosis. Before diagnosing DTC(s), perform DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK first. 4WAL DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) DTC C0021 C0022 C0023 C0025 C0026 C0027 C0029 C0035 C0036 C0037 C0038 C0041 C0042

System Description

The diagnostic system check is an organized approach to identifying a problem created by an ABS malfunction. It must be the starting point of any ABS complaint diagnosis because it directs to the next logical step in diagnosing the complaint. Serial data is exchanged by EBCM through harness connector C1, terminal "F", and Class 2 data is exchanged through harness connector C1, terminal "G". EBCM is supplied switched ignition voltage through harness connector C1, terminal "A", and ground is provided through harness connector C1, terminal "J".

Damage To Pump Assembly Metal Particles Present In Oil Leaks In Hub Weld Area Hub Scored Or Damaged Stator Failure Torque Converter Imbalance Engine Coolant Contamination Excessive End Play

STALL TEST 1. Torque converter whine is usually noticed when vehicle is stopped and transmission is in Reverse or Drive. Whine will increase when engine RPM is increased and will stop when vehicle is moving or when torque converter clutch is applied. Stall test is to ensure whine is coming from torque converter. 2. Start engine, and allow it to reach normal operating temperature. Apply parking and service brakes. Put transmission in Drive. Depress accelerator to about 1200 RPM for less than 6 seconds. DO NOT depress Microsoft Saturday, August 29, 2009 11:54:34 AM

accelerator for more than 6 seconds or transmission damage may occur. Torque converter noise will increase under this load. NOTE:

Torque converter whine should not be confused with pump whine, which is usually noticeable in Park, Neutral and all other gear ranges. Pump whine will vary with pressure.

STATOR CHECK 1. Torque converter stator roller clutch can either remain locked up at all times or freewheel in both directions. If stator is freewheeling at all times, vehicle tends to have poor acceleration from a stop. Vehicle may act normal at speeds above 30-35 MPH. 2. If poor acceleration is noted, ensure exhaust system is not blocked, engine timing is correct and transmission is in 1st gear when starting from a stop. If stator is locked up at all times, performance from a stop appears normal. Engine RPM and acceleration is limited at high speeds. Engine may overheat from this condition. 3. A visual inspection of torque converter may reveal converter is Blue from overheating. If torque converter has been removed from vehicle, stator roller clutch can be checked by inserting a finger into splined inner race of roller clutch and trying to turn race in both directions. Inner race should turn freely clockwise but should not turn or should be difficult to turn counterclockwise. TORQUE CONVERTER END PLAY CHECK 1. Inspect torque converter for hub scoring, cracks or weld area cracks before checking end play. Install End Play Checking Tool(J-35138) on torque converter. See Fig. 7 . 2. Note end play of torque converter. End play must be within specification. See TORQUE CONVERTER END PLAY SPECIFICATIONS table. Replace torque converter if end play is not within specification or damage to hub area exists. TORQUE CONVERTER END PLAY SPECIFICATIONS Converter Diameter: In. (mm) 9.65 (245.0) 11.73 (298.0)

Gear Selector Position "D4" (Overdrive)

1. With gear selector in "D4" (overdrive) position, choose throttle position angle of 12 or 25 percent. See Fig. 8 or Fig. 9 . Set scan tool to monitor throttle position angle and vehicle speed. Accelerate vehicle to chosen throttle position angle and hold throttle steady. 2. Note shift speed engagement points in 2nd gear, 3rd gear and overdrive gear. Use charts as a reference for proper shift speeds. See Fig. 8 or Fig. 9 . Also note Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) engagement point while in overdrive. Repeat procedure using different throttle position angle. NOTE:

Shift speeds may vary due to slight hydraulic delays responding to electronic controls. A change from original equipment tire size also affects shift speeds. Ensure TCC engages in 3rd or overdrive. TCC should not apply unless transmission has reached a minimum operating temperature of 64°F (18°C) and engine coolant temperature is 140°F (60°C).

3. At vehicle speeds of 40-50 MPH in overdrive, quickly increase throttle position angle to more than 50 percent. Verify TCC releases, transmission immediately downshifts to 3rd gear and 1-2 shift solenoid turns off. 4. At vehicle speeds of 40-50 MPH in overdrive, quickly depress accelerator to wide open position (full throttle detent downshift). Verify TCC releases, transmission immediately downshifts to 2nd gear, 1-2 solenoid is off and 2-3 solenoid is on. 5. At vehicle speeds of 40-55 MPH in overdrive, release accelerator pedal while moving gear selector to "D3" (third gear) position. Verify TCC releases, transmission immediately downshifts into 3rd gear, and engine braking slows vehicle. 6. Move gear selector to "D4" (overdrive) position, and accelerate to 40-45 MPH. Release accelerator pedal while moving gear selector to "D2" (2nd gear) position. Verify TCC releases, transmission immediately downshifts to 2nd gear, and engine braking slows vehicle. 7. Move gear selector to "D4" (overdrive) position, and accelerate to 30 MPH. Release accelerator pedal while moving gear selector to "D1" (1st gear) position. Verify TCC releases, transmission immediately downshifts to 1st gear and engine braking slows vehicle. 8. With gear selector in the "D4" (overdrive) position, accelerate vehicle to overdrive gear with TCC applied. Release accelerator pedal, and lightly apply brakes. Verify TCC releases and downshifts occur at speeds shown in shift speed charts. See Fig. 8 or Fig. 9 . NOTE:

Upshifts in manual gear ranges are controlled by shift solenoids. Perform following steps by accelerating vehicle at throttle position angle of 10-15 percent.

Gear Selector Position "D3" (3rd Gear)

With vehicle stopped, move gear selector to "D3" (3rd gear) position and steadily increase throttle pressure to accelerate vehicle. Note speeds at which vehicle shifts into 2nd and 3rd gears. See Fig. 8 or Fig. 9 . Gear Selector Position "D2" (2nd Gear)

TRANSMISSION DISASSEMBLY NOTE:

Beginning at start of production for all 1996 models, some 4L60-E transmissions were built with a bolt-on bellhousing. Design change will make 4L60-E transmission more versatile for a wide variety of engine sizes. Bolts securing bellhousing require a Torx-Plus 50-IP bit for removal. Bolt heads will strip if incorrect tool is used during removal. Transmission case has a totally different casting design for bolt-on bellhousing. Oil pump body has a machined ring added to front of pump body to center bellhousing on installation.

2-4 SERVO ASSEMBLY 1. Mount transmission on bench using Holding Fixture (J-8763-02). Remove torque converter. Install Servo Cover Compressor (J-29714) on oil pan. See Fig. 6 . Compress servo cover. Remove retaining ring, servo cover and "O" ring. 2. Remove 2-4 servo assembly. Servo pin length should be checked before disassembling assembly to determine 2-4 band and reverse input drum wear or damage. CHECKING SERVO PIN LENGTH 1. Remove 4th apply piston and return spring. See Fig. 11 . Remove retainer ring, washer, apply pin spring and 2nd apply pin. Install Piston Compressor (J-22269-01) on 2nd apply piston. See Fig. 12 . 2. Remove retainer ring, cushion spring and spring retainer. Install Band Apply Pin Tool (J-33037) and apply pin. See Fig. 13 . Apply 100 INCH lbs. (11 N.m) torque. 3.

TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS 1-2 &/OR 2-3 UPSHIFT SLIP/FLARE, NO 3RD OR 4TH GEAR, (DTC P1870) 1996 GM Trucks & Oldsmobile Bravada With 4L60-E Transmission (GM Service Bulletin No. 66-71-03A)

Some owner's may complain that vehicle has either a slip or flare on 1-2 and/or 2-3 upshift, or no 3rd or 4th gear. DTC P1870 may also be present. This condition may be caused by a poor internal ground between 2 circuit boards of Vehicle Control Module (VCM), which can cause VCM to command erratic line pressure at pressure control solenoid. To correct this condition, a revised Wiring Harness (12167310) has been designed to replace current wiring harness at VCM. Corrections were made to VCM beginning February 14, 1996. Corrected VCM's are identified by service number 16244210, located on VCM identification label. ATF LEAKING OUT VENT All GM Models With 4L60 Or 4L60-E Transmission (ATRA TSB No. 449)

Vehicles equipped with 4L60 or 4L60-E transmission may leak fluid out transmission vent. Fluid may splash out vent due to high fluid level. Fluid may also be pumped out due to an oil pump that is not flat or has been machined, and now bolts are too long, allowing converter charge pressure to squeeze into vent cavity. To correct this condition, check oil pump surface for flatness. Repair as necessary. Ensure both stator support pump bolts and oil pump-to-case bolts are not too long. It may be necessary to add washers to bolts. Apply a thin sealant to vent cavity surface area of oil pump and stator support, located between 9 and 10 o'clock position on pump body. See Fig. 23 . TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING &/OR CONVERTER DISCOLORED All Models With 4L60-E Transmission

Transmission may show signs of overheating or torque converter is discolored. This condition may be caused by regulated apply oil not available due to a TCC PCM solenoid filled with debris, which does not allow TCC signal oil to lubricate TCC regulator apply valve in valve body. No DTCs are stored, as TCC PWM solenoid is still working electronically. To eliminate the possibility of this condition, TCC regulator apply valve should be machined to create 2 flat surfaces on opposite sides of first land on valve. Machined surface should be even with wide head of valve. See No. 37 in Fig. Fig. 24 . Machining valve will completely bypass TCC regulator apply valve, provide a more positive lock up apply feel and guarantee apply oil is always available. DESIGN IMPROVEMENTS 1998 GM Vehicles With 4L60-E Transmission (ATRA TSB No. 458)

Manufacturer has made several design changes to 1998 4L60-E transmission. For improved drain back to reduce aeration of fluid, transmission case has a larger cutout between 2 slots located above 1-2 accumulator piston (at No. 1 check ball). See Fig. 5 . The 1998 design removed one slot to increase cutout size. A NEW Black manual shaft has enhanced coating. Case extension housings are more rigid for improved durability.

Pressure Control Solenoid (PCS) has NEW design filter screen. Input sun gear to forward sprag inner race is a press fit design. Transmission oil pan has a deep design with improved oil filter. Control valve body has a chamfered edge for different dipstick stops. Dipstick stop has 2 different designs for regular or deep oil pan design. OIL PUMP INTERCHANGE NOTE:

On GM vehicles with 4L60-E transmission, oil pump bodies have various designs. Ensure components are not mismatched when pump components are replaced.

1993-94

Pump body uses a 10 vane rotor and slide assembly. This pump body has the same casting and worm track configuration as 1985-1993 models. Pump cover has a larger diameter filter seal bore. 1995-96

Pump body also uses a 10 vane rotor and slide assembly, but this pump body has a different casting and worm track configuration than 1993-94 models and is not interchangeable. Pump body is identified by "PWM" cast into front side of pump body. Bolt-on bellhousing also was introduced in 1996 and requires added flange to center bellhousing during installation. Pump cover has a different casting and worm track configuration from 1993-94 models and is not interchangeable. Pump cover also includes "PWM" cast into back side of cover. 1997

Pump body has same worm track configuration as 1995-96 models, but a 13 vane rotor and slide assembly is used. The 13 vane slide has longer porting slots. Pump body also has "PWM" cast into front side. Pump cover has same worm track configuration as 1995-96 models, but porting slots are a different configuration from 1995-96 pump cover to accommodate changes in 13 vane and rotor and slide. Pump cover is identified by "13 V" cast into back side of pump cover. Pump cover is not interchangeable with other year models.

BRAKE SYSTEM 1997 BRAKES Disc & Drum - General Motors

DESCRIPTION & OPERATION NOTE:

Information in this article also applies to vehicles equipped with Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS); however, not all information on ABS is included in this article. See ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM article.

NOTE:

Brake drum can be removed without removing axle shaft.

BRAKE SHOE ASSEMBLY Vehicles are equipped with dual-servo brakes, identified by adjuster screw hole at bottom of backing plate. Brake assembly consists of backing plate, brake shoes, return springs, automatic adjusting assembly and a wheel cylinder. Automatic adjusting assembly consists of an actuator lever, return spring, actuator link, adjusting screw and spring. Automatic adjustment is accomplished through movement of actuating lever and secondary shoe. BRAKE WARNING LIGHT Pressure differential warning switch in combination valve energizes brake warning light on instrument panel when front or rear brakes lose hydraulic pressure. After repairing failed side of hydraulic system, depress brake pedal with moderate to heavy pressure to hydraulically center the piston. This will turn off brake warning light. CALIPERS Front brakes are floating caliper or sliding caliper design. See Fig. 5 and Fig. 8 . Rear brakes are sliding caliper design. Caliper is attached to caliper mount. Caliper is mounted to steering knuckle or caliper adapter, depending on application. Caliper assembly slides back and forth in machined cut-outs. HYDRAULIC CONTROL VALVES Combination Valve

System uses a combination valve to regulate brake system hydraulic pressure. Combination valve, located in brake lines between master cylinder and wheels, has 3 pressure control functions: 

Metering (or hold-off) section of valve limits pressure to front brakes until pressure of rear brake shoe retractor springs is overcome, then allows pressure to front brakes. Warning switch section of valve constantly compares front and rear brake pressures from master cylinder. See BRAKE WARNING LIGHT under DESCRIPTION & OPERATION . Proportioning section of valve allows input pressure to rise to predetermined level before allowing output pressure to rear brakes. This prevents rear wheel lock-up on vehicles with light rear wheel loads.

Combination valve also contains a by-pass feature. This ensures full system pressure is applied to rear brakes if front brakes lose hydraulic pressure (or if rear brakes lose hydraulic pressure, full pressure is applied to front brakes).

BLEEDING BRAKE SYSTEM MASTER CYLINDER BLEEDING NOTE:

To prevent air from entering brake system, bench bleed master cylinder before installing.

1. Place master cylinder in soft-jawed vise with front end tilted slightly down. DO NOT overtighten vise. Plug both outlet ports of master cylinder. Fill master cylinder reservoir. 2. Press and release piston about 1" (25 mm) several times. As air is bled from master cylinder, the primary piston will not travel the full 1" (25 mm) stroke. 3. Repeat previous step with front end of master cylinder tilted slightly up. Reposition master cylinder in vise to level position. Loosen front outlet plug and push piston into bore to expel air from cylinder. Tighten plug and allow piston to return to original position. Repeat procedure at rear outlet plug. 4. Fill reservoir and install master cylinder. DO NOT fully tighten brake lines at this time. Slowly press brake pedal to floor and hold. Tighten brake lines. Release brake pedal. Bleed brake system. See MANUAL BLEEDING or PRESSURE BLEEDING. MANUAL BLEEDING NOTE:

Air tends to cling to caliper walls. When bleeding vehicles with disc brakes, lightly tap caliper to help remove air.

1. Deplete vacuum reserve from power brake booster by depressing brake pedal several times with engine off. Fill master cylinder and keep at least half full during bleeding procedure. If master cylinder is not known or suspected to have air in bore, go to step 4). If master cylinder is known or suspected to have air in bore, go to next step. 2. Disconnect forward brakeline fitting at master cylinder. Allow fluid to flow from fitting. Tighten fitting to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Have an assistant depress brake pedal slowly and hold. Loosen forward fitting. Tighten fitting while pedal is still at floor. Release brake pedal slowly. Wait 15 seconds. NOTE:

Rapid pumping of brake pedal causes master cylinder secondary piston to move into a position that makes bleeding system difficult.

3. Repeat step 2), including 15 second wait, until fluid is clear and free of air bubbles. Repeat procedure at other (rearmost) brakeline fitting on master cylinder. Master cylinder is now bled. If wheel cylinders/calipers are not suspected to have air in them, it is not necessary to bleed them. NOTE:

On vehicles with 4WAL, if Brake Pressure Modulator Valve was replaced,

or is suspected to have air trapped inside, it must be bled next. See ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM article. 4. If wheel cylinders/calipers are known or suspected to have air in them, raise and support vehicle. Remove bleeder valve cap from right rear wheel. Place proper size box end wrench over bleeder valve. Attach one end of clear tube over valve and submerge other end in container partially filled with clean brake fluid. 5. Have an assistant depress brake pedal slowly and hold. Loosen bleeder valve to purge air from cylinder. Tighten bleeder valve and slowly release brake pedal. Wait 15 seconds. Repeat sequence, including 15 second wait, until all air is removed. 6. Remove tube and wrench. Repeat step 5) at left rear, right front, and left front wheels in this order. Fill master cylinder reservoir, and install cover. Ensure there is no sponginess in brake pedal and that BRAKE warning light is off. PRESSURE BLEEDING NOTE:

Air tends to cling to caliper walls. When bleeding vehicles with disc brakes, lightly tap caliper to help remove air. WARNING: DO NOT use rigid clamp to position hold-off valve stem. This may damage valve assembly, causing brake failure.

1. Retain hold-off valve stem of combination valve using Valve Retainer (J-39177). See Fig. 1 . This allows brake fluid to flow through combination valve and entire system during bleeding. 2. Clean master cylinder cap and surrounding area. Remove cap. With pressure tank at least 2/3 full, connect pressure bleeder to master cylinder with adapters. Attach bleeder hose to right rear bleeder valve. NOTE:

On vehicles with 4WAL, if Brake Pressure Modulator Valve was replaced, or is suspected to have air trapped inside, it must be bled next. See ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM article.

3. Place other end of hose in glass jar partially filled with brake fluid so end of hose is submerged in fluid. Open release valve on pressure bleeder. Set pressure bleeder to 20-25 psi (1.4-1.8 kg/cm2 ) or pressure specified by equipment manufacturer. 4. Open bleeder screw 3/4 - 1 turn and note fluid flow. Close bleeder screw when no air bubbles are present in fluid flow. Repeat procedure on left rear, right front, and left front wheels in this order. 5. Check brake pedal operation. Remove pressure bleeder. Remove valve retainer from hold-off valve. Refill master cylinder reservoir, if necessary.

GENERATOR & REGULATOR 1997 ELECTRICAL General Motors Corp. - Generators & Regulators

DESCRIPTION The CS130 (Charging System) generators have a high amperage output. The 130 designation is the outside diameter of the stator laminations, measured in millimeters. CS series generators include a delta stator, rectifier bridge, and a rotor with slip rings and brushes. A built-in regulator incorporates fault detection circuitry. See Fig. 1 . A conventional pulley and external fan are used to cool slip ring end frame, rectifier bridge and regulator. Most CS series generators operate with 2 wire connections and a ground path through the mounting bracket. The first wire connection is the BAT (output) terminal. This terminal must be connected to the battery during operation. The second wire connection is through the charge indicator light or an external resistor to terminal "L" of the regulator. This connection provides initial excitation at start-up. Three other regulator terminals, "P", "F/I" and "S", are provided for optional use. Terminal "P" is connected to the stator and may be connected to a tachometer. Terminal "F/I" provides an alternative method for turning on the generator without going through the charge indicator light or external resistor. Terminal "S" may be used to sense electrical system voltage at a remote point on the vehicle. If terminal "S" is not used, the regulator senses internal generator voltage. Regulated voltage varies with temperature. System limits voltage by controlling rotor field current while field current is on. Regulator switches rotor field current on and off at a fixed frequency of 400 cycles per second to help control radio noise. By varying overall on/off time, correct average field current for proper system voltage control is obtained. At high speeds, with lower electrical loads, on-time may be 10 percent of off-time. At low speeds, with higher electrical loads, on-time may be 90 percent of off-time. See the GENERATOR USAGE/AMP OUTPUT RATING table.

UNDERCHARGED OR OVERCHARGED BATTERY NOTE:

Ensure battery is fully charged and in good condition before performing the following steps. If battery is not at (or near) a fully charged condition, service as necessary before proceeding.

1. Turn ignition and all accessories off. Using a voltmeter, measure and record battery voltage for use in step 4). Disconnect generator harness connector. Turn ignition switch to ON position (engine not running). 2. Connect negative lead of a voltmeter to a good engine ground. Connect positive voltmeter lead to terminal "L" of generator harness connector. On models with gauges, also connect positive voltmeter lead to terminal F/I of generator harness connector. See WIRING DIAGRAM . 3. Battery voltage should be present at terminal "L" or F/I (gauges only). If battery voltage is not present, repair open circuit between generator connector terminal and battery. If battery voltage is present, reconnect generator harness connector and go to next step. 4. Start engine and slowly increase speed to approximately 1500 RPM. Using a voltmeter, measure voltage between battery terminals. If voltage is greater than 16 volts, or less than voltage as measured in step 1), replace or repair generator. If voltage is less than 16 volts, or greater than voltage as measured in step 1), go to next step. CAUTION: To prevent injury and/or damage to vehicle, disconnect negative battery cable before connecting or disconnecting a series type ammeter to generator. CAUTION: Carbon pile testing is part of this procedure. To avoid battery explosion, turn carbon pile OFF before connecting to or disconnecting from vehicle battery. 5. Disconnect negative battery cable. Install ammeter to voltmeter. Connect voltmeter to generator output (BAT) terminal. Connect negative battery cable. With load off, connect carbon pile load tester across battery terminals. Run engine at approximately 1500 RPM, turn accessories on and load battery with carbon pile load until maximum generator output is reached. Adjust carbon pile to maintain 13 volts or more. Measure amp output. 6. If amp output is within 15 amps of rated output, generator is okay. If amp output is not within 15 amps of rated output, repair or replace generator.

1997 Chevrolet S10 Pickup 1996 GENERAL INFORMATION Computer Relearn Procedures - General Motors Corp.

1996 GENERAL INFORMATION Computer Relearn Procedures - General Motors Corp.

INTRODUCTION Vehicles equipped with engine or transmission computers may require a relearn procedure after the vehicle battery is disconnected. Vehicle computers memorize and store vehicle operation patterns for optimum driveability and performance. When the vehicle battery is disconnected, this memory is lost. Default data is used until new data from each key start is stored. As the computer restores its memory from each new key start, driveability is restored. Driveability problems may occur during the relearn stage. Depending on the vehicle and how it is equipped, the following driveability problems may exist:     

Rough or unstable idle. Hesitation or stumble. Rich or lean running. Poor fuel mileage. Harsh or poor transmission shift quality.

To accelerate relearn process after battery removal and installation, vehicle should be road tested in the following manner:    

Vehicle at normal operating temperature (cooling fan cycles). Accelerate at normal throttle position (20-50%). Cruise at light to medium throttle. Decelerate to a stop, downshifting and using brakes normally.

Manufacturers identify specific relearn procedures. See RELEARN PROCEDURES . Always complete the procedure before returning the vehicle to the customer.

RELEARN PROCEDURES VEHICLE DRIVEABILITY RELEARN PROCEDURE General Motors does not provide a specific procedure for driveability relearn. If a vehicle battery was disconnected for facilitating repairs or a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) was replaced, driving the vehicle will enable the PCM to relearn driveability. Inform your customer that he/she may experience driveability different from what they are accustomed to until the PCM completes it's relearn function. TP SENSOR LEARN (CADILLAC) If a NEW TP sensor or throttle body is installed, EBTCM must learn new TP sensor idle position voltage. This procedure is necessary to ensure effective engine management. If an improper TP sensor offset is maintained by Microsoft Saturday, August 29, 2009 11:36:11 11:36:07 AM

the PCM, a high idle at closed throttle or stall condition may occur. 1. Turn ignition on (engine off). Wait for 30 seconds. 2. Turn ignition to LOCK position. Wait for 30 seconds. NOTE:

Ensure accelerator and brake pedals are free from any obstructions while performing TP sensor/idle learn procedure. Ensure that cruise control cable is not holding throttle open. PCM will not perform learn function with accelerator pedal or brake pedal obstructions.

TP SENSOR LEARN (CORVETTE) If a NEW TP sensor or throttle body is installed, EBTCM must learn new TP sensor idle position voltage. This procedure is necessary to ensure effective engine torque reduction during ASR operations. TP sensor learn procedure requires a Tech-1 scan tester or T-100 (CAMS) unit. 1. Turn ignition off. Connect Tech-1 scan tester with a Mass Storage cartridge. Turn ignition on. Select ABS/ASR feature from menu. 2. Select F5 (TP SENSR LEARN). Press up arrow to begin learn procedure. Wait for Tech-1 scan tester to indicate COMPLETE. Turn ignition off. Disconnect Tech-1 scan tester. NOTE:

Ensure accelerator and brake pedals are free from any obstructions while performing TP sensor/idle learn procedure. PCM will not perform learn function with accelerator pedal or brake pedal obstructions.

ENGINE COOLING FAN 1997 ENGINE COOLING General Motors Corp. - Electric Cooling Fan

DESCRIPTION All FWD and some RWD vehicles use an electric cooling fan. The electric cooling fan is used for radiator and A/C condenser cooling. Cooling fan operates when A/C is on and when engine coolant temperature exceeds a specific value. One or more cooling fan relays may be used.

TROUBLE SHOOTING PRELIMINARY INFORMATION This article contains only the text required to test electric cooling fans. Other diagnostic information may be referenced while performing electric cooling fan diagnosis. See appropriate TESTS W/CODES article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE section for complete information on engine control systems. Some truck models are equipped with an auxiliary electric cooling fan. The auxiliary electric cooling fan is not controlled by Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Trouble shoot cooling fan using appropriate diagnostic information provided. For cooling fan relay location, see COOLING FAN RELAY LOCATION table. COOLING FAN RELAY LOCATION Application "C" & "K" Series

1997 Chevrolet S10 Pickup ENGINE COOLING FAN 1997 ENGINE COOLING General Motors Corp. - Electric Cooling Fan

NOTE:

Cooling fan circuit utilizes 3 cooling fan relays. Relays directly controlling fan motors are 4-pin type and are referred to as No. 1 and No. 2. Relay determining cooling fan motor low speed or high speed operation is referred to as 5-pin relay in this test. See WIRING DIAGRAMS .

Description

Power for cooling fan motors is supplied through COOL FAN 1 Maxi-fuse (30-amp) and COOL FAN 2 Maxifuse (30-amp) in underhood electrical center. Cooling fan relays are energized when current flows from Maxifuses through relay coils, then to ground through Powertrain Control Module (PCM). No. 1 cooling fan relay control circuit is grounded for low speed operation. Both fan control circuits and all 3 relays are grounded for high speed fan operation. During low speed cooling fan operation, PCM supplies a ground path for No. 1 cooling fan relay. As a result, relay contacts close, allowing current to flow from COOL FAN 1 Maxi-fuse through relay coil to cooling fan No. 1 (left side). During low speed cooling fan operation, ground path for cooling fan No. 1 is through cooling fan relay (5-pin) and cooling fan motor No. 2 (right side). This results in a series circuit with both fans operating at low speed. During high speed cooling fan operation, PCM supplies 2 ground paths for all 3 cooling fan relays. As a result, relay contacts close in all relays, allowing both cooling fan motors to operate at high speed. Both cooling fans are supplied current from both COOL FAN Maxi-fuses. Each cooling fan motor has a separate ground path when operating in high speed mode. Cooling Fan Circuit Diagnosis

1. If Powertrain On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check has not been performed, see appropriate TESTS W/CODES article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE section. If OBD SYSTEM CHECK has been performed, go to next step. 2. Check for PCM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). If any DTCs are present, perform testing for applicable DTC. Repair all DTCs that are set before proceeding with testing. See appropriate TESTS W/CODES article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE section. If no DTCs are present, go to next step. 3. Ensure engine coolant temperature is less than 212°F (100°C). Turn A/C off. Turn ignition on. If cooling fans go off, go to next step. If cooling fans do not go off, go to step 32). 4. Using scan tool, select RELAY CONTROL function. Command low speed fans on. If cooling fans operate at low speed, go to next step. If cooling fans do not operate as specified, go to step 8). 5. Command high speed fans on. Wait 6 seconds. If cooling fans operate at high speed, go to next step. If cooling fans do not operate as specified, go to step 58). NOTE:

Ensure ambient temperature is greater than 48°F (9°C) before proceeding.

6. Exit scan tool OUTPUT TESTS. Start engine. Turn A/C on. If cooling fans come on, go to DIAGNOSTIC AIDS . If cooling fans do not come on, go to next step. 7. Using scan tool, view A/C REQUEST display. If YES is displayed, go to step 77).

1997 Chevrolet S10 Pickup CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM 1997 ACCESSORIES/SAFETY EQUIP General Motors Corp. - Cruise Control System

To set vehicle speed, turn control switch to ON position. With vehicle speed at 25 MPH or more, press and release SET/COAST button. Vehicle will maintain set speed. To increase speed during engaged cruise, accelerate to desired speed. Press and release SET/COAST button. Vehicle will maintain new set speed. To decrease speed during engaged cruise, press and hold SET/COAST button. System will disengage. When vehicle has slowed to desired speed, release SET/COAST button. Vehicle will maintain new set speed. To decrease speed by one-MPH increments during engaged cruise, tap SET/COAST button (quickly press and release button; DO NOT hold button). Vehicle speed will decrease one MPH for each tap of button. RESUME/ACCEL

To resume set speed after system has been disengaged by braking, momentarily engage and release RESUME/ACCEL switch. Vehicle will return to set speed. If RESUME/ACCEL switch is engaged for more than one second, vehicle will begin to accelerate. To accelerate using cruise control system, engage and hold RESUME/ACCEL switch until desired speed is reached. To increase speed by one-MPH increments during engaged cruise, tap RESUME/ACCEL switch (quickly move to RESUME/ACCEL position and release). Vehicle speed will increase one MPH for each tap of switch. After 10 taps, system must be reset to a new speed to continue this function. BRAKE & CLUTCH RELEASE SWITCHES Brake and clutch release switches allow current flow to module when brakes and clutch are released. When brake or clutch pedal is depressed, voltage supply to cruise control circuit in PCM/VCM is interrupted. Brake switch may incorporate brakelight and torque converter clutch switch. VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is mounted in transmission (2WD) or transfer case (4WD). VSS produces an AC signal with a frequency proportional to speed at which transmission output shaft rotates, which is also proportional to vehicle speed. This signal is then sent to vehicle speed sensor buffer. VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR BUFFER Vehicle speed sensor buffer receives and converts AC voltage to a rate of 4000 pulses per mile. This signal is then sent to cruise control module, speedometer, and VCM/PCM. These components convert number of pulses per mile to pulses per second to determine speed of vehicle. Buffer is located on left side of instrument panel, near parking brake.

TROUBLE SHOOTING 1. Check fuses, and replace as necessary. Ensure cruise control cable and throttle linkage move freely. Some problems may be related to vehicle speed sensor circuit. Check for codes. See appropriate TESTS W/CODES article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE section. Refer to menu below. Microsoft Saturday, August 29, 2009 12:00:54 PM

DEFOGGER - MIRROR & REAR WINDOW 1997 ACCESSORIES/SAFETY EQUIP General Motors Corp. - Rear Window & Mirror Defoggers

DESCRIPTION & OPERATION Rear window defogger system consists of rear window defogger switch on instrument panel, timer relay, rear defogger grid and heated mirrors (if equipped). Timer relay is incorporated in rear window defogger switch, located on left side of instrument panel. Grid is bonded to inside surface of rear window. Current enters grid on left side and is grounded on right side of cab. Ignition switch must be on to operate system rear window defogger system. When rear window defogger switch is pressed, timer relay allows current to flow to grid for 10 minutes, then stops current flow to grid. Each time rear window defogger switch is activated after initially activation, timer relay will allow current flow to grid for 5 minutes. If ignition switch is turned off then back on, timer relay resets to 10-minute cycle. Any time rear window defogger switch or ignition switch is turned off, current stops flowing to grid.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE GRID FILAMENT REPAIR 1. Turn system off. Disconnect negative battery cable. Gently clean area to be repaired with steel wool. Wipe area clean with denatured alcohol. Be sure to clean 1/4" (6 mm) beyond each side of break. 2. With glass at room temperature of 70-90°F (20-32°C), position masking tape along both side of grid line at damaged area. See Fig. 1 . Apply grid repair material to grid and remove masking tape. Holding heat gun 1-2" (25-50 mm) from repair area, apply heat at 500-700°F (260-370°C) for 2-3 minutes. If heat gun is not available, allow repair area to air dry for at least 24 hours. 3. Test defogger operation to verify repair. If repair appears discolored, apply a coating of tincture of iodine. Allow iodine to dry for 30 seconds and carefully wipe off excess.

1996-97 DRIVE AXLES "T" Series Front Axle

AXLE RATIO & IDENTIFICATION Front axle identification is located on tag attached near axle tube.

DESCRIPTION & OPERATION Front axle assembly on "T" Series models uses a 7 1/4" ring gear. Front axle assembly has an electric 4WD engage/disengage feature which allows shifting in or out of 4WD while vehicle is moving (under most conditions). The 4WD feature is shifted by a vacuum actuation system. See Fig. 1 . The vacuum actuation system consists of a vacuum switch and vacuum actuator. Shift mechanism in transfer case triggers vacuum switch to apply engine vacuum to vacuum actuator after about a 3-second delay. The vacuum actuator, in turn, pulls on shift cable which pulls on shift fork in axle. This connects the right axle output shaft to the front axle differential. Torque is now available to front wheels. Right side of axle assembly consists of a solid axle shaft which rides inside of a stationary axle tube. A short stub shaft with CV joint attached is bolted to right inner axle shaft flange. Left drive axle shaft consists of a flexible drive shaft using an inner tripod joint and outer CV joint. Left axle tripod joint housing is bolted to axle carrier output shaft drive flange. CV joint splined/threaded shaft on outer end of drive axle shaft slips through steering knuckle/hub assembly. See Fig. 3 . Front axle assembly differential uses a conventional ring and pinion gear set to transmit driving force of engine to the front wheels. Ring and pinion gear set transfers driving force at a 90-degree angle from front drive shaft to drive axle shafts/CV joints.

Place arbor into carrier side bearing recesses making sure gauging discs are properly seated. Install side bearing caps and bolts. Snug tighten bolts to avoid arbor movement. 5. Position dial indicator on mounting post of arbor with contact button resting on top surface of plunger. Set dial indicator to zero. Push indicator down on indicator shaft until needle rotates 3/4 of a revolution to right, and then tighten in this position. 6. Place plunger onto gauging area of pinion gauge plate. Rock plunger rod slowly back and forth across gauging area until dial indicator reads greatest deflection. 7. At point of greatest deflection, set indicator to zero. Repeat rocking action several times to verify setting. Once zero reading is obtained, rotate gauge shaft to remove plunger from gauging area. 8. Dial indicator will now read required pinion shim thickness for nominal pinion setting. Record this reading. Check drive pinion for painted or stamped markings on pinion stems, or for a stamped code number on small end of pinion gear. NOTE:

If no markings are found on pinion, use dial indicator reading as shim thickness.

9. If marking is a plus (+), add that many thousandths of an inch to recorded indicator reading. If marking is a minus (-), subtract that many thousandths of an inch from indicator reading. This measurement will then be required thickness of rear pinion bearing shim pack. 10. Remove bearing caps and all gauging tools from housing. Place selected shim pack on pinion gear. Using a press, install lubricated pinion bearing onto pinion shaft. 11. Install a NEW collapsible spacer over pinion gear shaft. Install pinion assembly into position from rear of housing. While holding pinion in position, carefully drive front pinion bearing onto pinion gear shaft until a few threads are exposed. 12. Install pinion seal, pinion flange, washer and nut. Ensure pinion flange alignment mark is properly aligned with pinion shaft end mark. Using Companion Flange Holder/Remover (J-8614-01), tighten pinion self-locking nut until all end play is removed. Rotate pinion several times to seat bearings. Check preload using an INCH-lb. torque wrench. 13. Continue tightening nut and checking preload until specified preload is obtained. See AXLE ASSEMBLY SPECIFICATIONS table. DO NOT back off nut to lessen preload. 14. If preload is exceeded, install a NEW collapsible spacer and retighten self-locking nut until proper preload is obtained. SIDE BEARING PRELOAD NOTE:

Subtract .010" (.25 mm) from ring gear (left) side measurement and add .010" (.25 mm) to opposite (right) side measurement. This allows for initial backlash adjustment. 7. To obtain correct preload, add .004" (.10 mm) to both measurements. Total measurement is correct shim pack thickness for each side. See following example: Ring Gear Side (Left) Shim Pack .250" (Gauging Tool Measurement) -.010" (Backlash Adjustment) +.004" (Bearing Preload) =.244" (Ring Gear Side Shim Pack) Opposite Ring Gear Side (Right) Shim Pack .265" (Combined Measurement Total) +.010" (Backlash Adjustment) +.004" (Bearing Preload) =.279" (Opposite Ring Gear Side Shim Pack) NOTE:

If shim is not chamfered enough and scrapes spacer when it is installed, file or grind chamfer before installation.

8. Install ring gear side shim first, and wedge opposite side shim between bearing cup and spacer. Install shim so chamfered side is against spacer. If necessary, partially remove differential case to install right side shim. If necessary, carefully tap shim into place with a soft-face hammer. Tighten bearing cap bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS table. Check backlash. See BACKLASH & FINAL ASSEMBLY . 9 1/2" Ring Gear

1. Differential side bearing preload is adjusted by adjusting nut in right differential bearing bore and by adjusting shims in left bearing bore. Bore and bearing cap provide mating threads for preload adjusting nut. 2. Install bearing races to differential bearings. Install differential case into axle housing assembly and temporarily hold in position by hand. Install bearing shims so chamfered side is against spacer. 3. Push differential case away from pinion and install adjusting nut. Tighten right side preload adjusting nut using Spanner Wrench (J-24429). Turn pinion to seat differential case bearings. 4. Back off adjusting nut slightly. Install bearing caps and snug tighten bolts. Turn adjusting nut until nut contacts shim. Note nut position and tighten nut 3 additional slots.

5. Tighten bearing cap bolts to specification. Install adjusting nut lock bolt and tighten to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS table. Check backlash adjustment. See BACKLASH & FINAL ASSEMBLY . BACKLASH & FINAL ASSEMBLY 1. Rotate pinion and differential case several times to seat bearings. Using a dial indicator mounted to axle housing, check ring gear backlash at 4 different teeth locations around ring gear. Install indicator in line with gear rotation and perpendicular to tooth angle. 2. Ensure pinion flange is locked in position or held rigid while taking each backlash reading. Four backlash readings should not vary more than .002" (.05 mm). NOTE:

DO NOT change total shim pack thickness for each side bearing. If a shim is removed from one side, add same thickness shim to other side.

3. Total backlash reading should be .005-.009" (.13-.23 mm). If backlash is incorrect, adjust side bearing shims as necessary. After backlash adjustment is completed, perform gear tooth contact pattern check. See GEAR TOOTH CONTACT PATTERNS article in GENERAL INFORMATION. 4. If pattern is incorrect, adjust pinion or ring gear as required. Install axle shafts, "C" locks, pinion shaft and lock bolt. Install rear housing cover and add gear oil. See Fig. 7 .

Fig. 1: Identifying Commonly Used Drive Shaft Combinations UNIVERSAL JOINTS Universal joints compensate for the effects of vehicle loading and axle windup present during acceleration. When operated within designed angle variations, a universal joint will operate effectively. When the design angle is changed or exceeded, operational life of joint will decrease. On a driveline with a designed deep angle, a double cardan joint is used in place of a simple universal joint. A double cardan joint is composed of 2 universal joints, coupled by a yoke and phased for constant velocity. A ball socket between the 2 universal joints serves as a centering device. See Fig. 2 . This causes each of the 2 units to operate through half of the complete angle between drive shaft and differential carrier. Needle roller bearings are used in universal joints. Needles are held in place on the trunnions by round bearing cups. Bearing cups are held in the yokes either by snap rings or injected plastic retainers.

NOTE:

DO NOT run engine without ram airflow across radiator for prolonged periods, as overheating of engine or transmission may occur.

1. Drive shaft imbalance may often be cured by disconnecting shaft and rotating it 180 degrees in relation to other components. Test by raising rear wheels off ground, and turning shaft with engine. 2. On most models, balance testing may be done by marking shaft in 4 positions, 90 degrees apart. Place marks about 6" (152 mm) forward of weld, at rear end of shaft. Number marks 1, 2, 3 and 4. 3. Place screw-type hose clamp so clamp head is in No. 1 position, and rotate shaft with engine. If there is little or no change, move clamp head to No. 2 position, and repeat test. 4. Continue procedure until vibration is at lowest level. If no difference is noted with clamp head moved to all 4 positions, vibrations may not be drive shaft imbalance. 5. If vibration is lessened but not completely gone, place 2 clamps at that point, and run test again. Combined weight of clamps in one position may increase vibration. If so, rotate clamps 1/2" apart, above and below best position, and repeat test. 6. Continue to rotate clamps as necessary, until vibration is at lowest point. If vibration level is still Microsoft Saturday, August 29, 2009 11:28:43 AM

unacceptable, leave rear clamp(s) in position and repeat procedure at front end of drive shaft. If vibration can be eliminated or reduced to acceptable levels using this test procedure, send drive shaft to balance shop for permanent balancing. FLANGE ALIGNMENT & RUNOUT Adjustment

1. All flanges must be perpendicular in both vertical and horizontal planes to engine crankshaft. Only exception is : "broken back" type driveline, which has flanges that are not perpendicular in vertical plane. See Fig. 5 .

Fig. 5: "Broken Back" Type Drive Shaft Alignment (Typical) 2. With non-parallel or "broken back" type installation, working angles of universal joints of a given drive shaft should be equal. Angle "A" = angle "B". 3. This is calculated as follows: angle of output shaft centerline is subtracted from angle of drive shaft. Difference should equal angle of drive shaft subtracted from pinion shaft angle. 4. Parallel type joints maintain constant velocity between output shaft and pinion shaft. Vibration is minimized and component life maximized when universal joints are parallel. 5. Using dial indicator, measure runout of transmission flange, center bearing flange and pinion flange. If runout exceeds .003-.005" (.08-.13 mm), replace flange. 6. If dial indicator cannot be used, push rod with snug fit through flange bearing bore. See if it aligns with opposite flange bore. If not, replace flange. See Fig. 6 .

They cannot be more than one degree off vertical. See DRIVE SHAFT PHASING . 8. Rotate transmission flange until it is vertical, measured from side. Measure angle from end and record it. Check all other flanges for same angle. They must be within 1/2 degree of each other. Adjust as required. 9. If difficulty is encountered when making these adjustments, horizontal alignment should be checked. Even though vertical alignment is correct, horizontal alignment can be badly out of adjustment. This is often found after major component replacement or repair of serious accident damage. See Fig. 7 .

10. To make horizontal alignment checks, set up straightedges. See Fig. 8 . Set transmission output flange horizontal and clamp straightedge to flange in a horizontal plane. Repeat procedure with drive pinion flange. Ensure that flanges are horizontal by checking angle of straightedge with spirit level.

Fig. 8: Checking Horizontal Alignment 11. Using straightedge that is 12" (305 mm) longer than width of rear wheel track at 90 degrees, clamp to frame side rails. Use large framing squares to align straightedge with side rails. 12. Measure distance "X" at each side. If both measurements are not within 1/16" (1.6 mm) of each other, transmission flange is horizontally misaligned. See Fig. 8 . 13. Measure distance "Y" (edge of straightedge to axle shaft centerline) at each side. If 2 dimensions are not within 1/8" (3.2 mm) of each other, axle housing is misaligned. 14. Measure distance "W" at each side. If both measurements are not within 1/16" (1.6 mm) of each other, pinion flange is horizontally misaligned.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT NOTE:

See SPECIFICATIONS & PROCEDURES article in WHEEL ALIGNMENT.

FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS 1. Raise and support vehicle. Remove hub dust cap and cotter pin. Tighten spindle nut to 12 ft. lbs. (16 N.m) while turning wheel forward by hand. Back off nut until just loose. CAUTION: Never preload tapered roller bearings, or damage to bearings will result. Bearings are designed to have a slightly loose feel when properly adjusted. 2. Finger-tighten nut until snug. Loosen nut slightly until NEW cotter pin can be installed. DO NOT loosen nut more than 1/2 flat. Install cotter pin and measure hub end play. Hub end play (in and out movement) should be .001-.005" (.03-.13 mm). Install dust cap. RIDING HEIGHT NOTE:

See SPECIFICATIONS & PROCEDURES article in WHEEL ALIGNMENT.

BALL JOINT CHECKING NOTE:

Ensure wheel bearings are properly adjusted before checking ball joints. Replace ball joint rubber grease seal if cut or damaged.

Upper Ball Joint

1. Raise and support vehicle with jackstand under lower control arm, near lower ball joint. Ensure upper control arm bumper does not contact frame. Place dial indicator against lower part of wheel rim. Push in on bottom of tire while pulling outward at top. Read dial indicator, then reverse push/pull procedure. 2. Lateral (horizontal) deflection should not exceed .125" (3.18 mm). If deflection is excessive, replace ball joint. With ball joint disconnected from steering knuckle, check to see if ball joint can be rotated by finger pressure. Replace if ball joint can be twisted. Lower Ball Joint

1. Wear indicator is built into ball joint. Wear is indicated by position of the 1/2" diameter round boss that grease fitting is threaded into. A new ball joint has a boss projection of .050" (1.27 mm) beyond cover surface. 2. With vehicle weight on wheels, ensure wear indicator protrudes beyond surface of ball joint cover. Replace ball joint if wear indicator is recessed or even with housing.

WHEEL HUB/ROTOR & BEARINGS Removal

1. Raise and support vehicle. Remove wheel and tire assembly. Remove brake caliper, and wire aside. DO NOT allow brake caliper to hang by brakeline. Remove dust cap, cotter pin, spindle nut and washer. Carefully remove hub/rotor assembly to avoid damage to spindle threads. 2. Remove outer bearing, inner grease seal and inner bearing. Clean bearings, and inspect bearings and races for damage. If races require removal from hub, drive old races from hub using hammer and Wheel Bearing Race Remover (J-29117-A). Installation

1. To install, reverse removal procedure. Pack bearings with high-temperature bearing grease. Install NEW grease seal until seal is even with hub surface. Lubricate seal lip and hub cavity with wheel bearing grease. 2. Tighten bolts and nuts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS table. Adjust wheel bearings. See FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS under ADJUSTMENTS & INSPECTION. Lower vehicle and check wheel alignment. See SPECIFICATIONS & PROCEDURES article in WHEEL ALIGNMENT. SHOCK ABSORBERS Removal

Raise and support vehicle. Remove wheel and tire assembly. Hold upper stem from turning while removing upper stem retaining nut, retainer and rubber grommet at top of shock absorber. Remove shock absorber-tolower control arm bolts and nuts. Lower shock absorber from vehicle. Inspection

NOTE:

Purging air from non-spiral groove shock is not required, as reservoir has gas-charged cell. Spiral groove shock has air-charged cell and air must be purged.

1. On spiral groove shock, purge air from pressure chamber by mounting shock in vise (top end up) and fully extending unit. Reverse position (top end down) and fully collapse unit. Repeat procedure several times. 2. Bench check shock unit by mounting in vise with top end up (top end down on gas-charged shocks). DO NOT clamp vise on reservoir tube or mounting threads.

1997 Chevrolet S10 Pickup 1997 AIR CONDITIONING & HEAT Manual A/C

A/C-heater system is a blend-air system. Air entering vehicle must pass through evaporator core and through and/or around heater core to obtain desired temperature. Compressor operation on 6-cylinder compressor is controlled by a pressure cycling switch located on top of accumulator. Compressor operation on 5-cylinder compressor is controlled by Powertrain Control Module (PCM) through A/C compressor clutch relay based on A/C related inputs to PCM.

OPERATION A/C-HEATER CONTROL PANEL Temperature Control Knob

An electric motor controls the temperature door based on the temperature knob position. When temperature knob is in the Blue (cold) position, air delivered by system is unheated. When temperature knob is in Red (hot) position, all air passing through heater module is heated before it is discharged. Intermediate position of temperature knob results in a mixture of heated and unheated air to provide more moderate air temperatures. Mode Selector Knob

Mode selector knob positions are OFF, MAX A/C, NORM A/C, BI-LEV A/C, VENT, HEAT, BLEND and DEFROST. Mode selector knob operates a rotary vacuum switch that routes engine vacuum to specific hoses in the vacuum harness. These hoses control various vacuum actuators on A/C-heater system. Each actuator operates an air valve (a door-like hinged deflector) that routes airflow to various outlets through the system. Blower Switch

Blower switch provides a choice of various blower speeds. Blower switch receives power through a fuse in fuse block when ignition is on. In various speed positions, circuit continues through wiring harness to blower motor resistor, near blower motor. There are 4-positions: LO, HI and 2 intermediate positions. Blower operates in any mode position except OFF.

TROUBLE SHOOTING WARNING: To avoid injury from accidental air bag deployment, read and follow all SERVICE PRECAUTIONS and DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM procedures in AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEM article in the ACCESSORIES/SAFETY EQUIPMENT section. NOTE:

OPERATIONAL TESTING When trouble shooting and diagnosing an air conditioning system, always refer to appropriate vacuum and wiring diagrams for the system involved. See appropriate A/C-HEATER SYSTEM - MANUAL article. If blower operates at all speeds and compressor clutch engages, electrical circuits are functioning properly. If evaporator inlet pipe and accumulator surface appear to be the same temperature when felt by hand, system is properly charged with refrigerant. Ensure vacuum and diaphragm function properly when moving selector control.

Check fuses. Turn ignition switch to RUN position. Check for voltage at function control switch. Switch blower switch to HI position. Check for voltage at switch and at high-speed blower relay. Ground blower motor with ignition switch in RUN position. If blower operates, motor is okay. BLOWER DOES NOT OPERATE IN HI Check for voltage at high-speed blower relay with ignition switch in RUN position and blower switch in HI position. If voltage is not present, check for voltage at blower switch. BLOWER OPERATES ONLY IN HI Check blower resistors for open condition. Check blower switch for voltage at each position. A/C DOES NOT WORK With engine running and function control switch at NORM position, check for voltage at pressure cycling switch. Check for voltage between pressure cycling switch and compressor clutch. Ground compressor clutch circuit. If clutch engages, check wide-open throttle cut-out switch and A/C compressor cut-off switch.

REFRIGERANT SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS INSUFFICIENT COOLING NOTE:

Quick check procedure may be used to check for proper refrigerant charge, provided ambient temperature is more than 70°F (21°C). On vehicles with Cycling Clutch Orifice Tube (CCOT) system, compressor will cycle on and off to meet system requirements.

Quick Check Procedure

1. Engine must be at normal operating temperature. Open vehicle doors and hood. Select MAX A/C or RECIRC mode. Move temperature lever to COLD position. Blower switch in HIGH position. Engine should be at normal idle speed. 2. While compressor is engaged, feel temperature of accumulator surface and evaporator inlet pipe. If temperature of both components is the same, system is normal. If evaporator inlet pipe is frosted or feels cooler than accumulator surface, refrigerant charge is low. 3. Add refrigerant in 4-ounce increments, allowing system to stabilize between additions, until accumulator and inlet pipe are the same temperature. Add an additional 14 ounces of refrigerant. Thorough Check Procedures

Begin diagnosis at V5/TXV SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS (STEP 1) or V5/VDOT SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS (STEP 1) . For further diagnosis, go to appropriate trouble shooting chart. See TROUBLE SHOOTING CHART DIRECTORY . V5/TXV SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS (STEP 1) Microsoft Saturday, August 29, 2009 11:43:59 AM

BPMV detects problem in hydraulic part of ABS system. Light also comes on for 2 seconds after ignition is turned on, and engine is off (BPMV turns on light for 2-second system check).

CHARGING SYSTEM One side of battery symbol light bulb is connected to alternator field circuit, and other side to ignition power circuit. When ignition is turned on, bulb is grounded through field circuit. When engine is started, field output equalizes voltage across bulb, turning off light. If charging system output is insufficient, light comes on. CHECK GAUGES If coolant temperature is too high or oil pressure is too low, light comes on to alert driver of condition indicated by gauges. A CHECK GAUGES light driver (part of coolant temperature gauge) monitors signals from temperature gauge sending unit and oil pressure sending unit. If CHECK GAUGES light driver receives a signal from either sending unit, it grounds light. COOLANT TEMPERATURE See CHECK GAUGES . OIL PRESSURE See CHECK GAUGES . SEAT BELT LIGHT Seat belt warning light works in conjunction with a buzzer. If seat belt is not fastened when key is turned to run, buzzer will sound for 8 seconds and light will illuminate solid for 20 seconds and flash for 55 seconds. Buzzer will stop if belt is fastened during 8 second interval. If seat belt is fastened when key is turned to run, no buzzer will sound and light will illuminate solid for 75 seconds. If seat belt is unfastened during 8 second interval, buzzer will sound for remainder of 8 second interval. SERVICE ENGINE SOON If a problem occurs in engine control system, PCM/VCM grounds light. Light should come on when ignition is turned on, then go out when engine starts if no problems exist in engine control system. SHIFT (M/T) Light comes on to tell driver when to upshift for best fuel economy. PCM/VCM monitors engine speed, load and throttle position for light control. PCM/VCM grounds light if parameters are met.

AIR BAG PRECAUTIONS Observe following precautions when working with vehicles equipped with Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) system: Microsoft Saturday, August 29, 2009 12:04:21 PM

1997 Chevrolet S10 Pickup 1997 ACCESSORIES/SAFETY EQUIP Analog Instrument Panels - General Motors Corp.

Before performing any instrument panel testing, diagnosis or repair, disable SIR system by disconnecting negative battery cable and Yellow 2-pin connector at base of steering column. Wait 2 minutes before making SIR repairs. SIR system retains enough voltage to deploy air bag after power is disconnected. To prevent accidental air bag deployment, avoid SIR wiring harness when trouble shooting instrument panel components. All SIR wires are color-coded Yellow.

SPEEDOMETER & ODOMETER Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) produces voltage pulses of frequency proportional to vehicle speed. This signal is processed by PCM/VCM to produce a voltage pulse signal to speedometer and odometer. NOTE:

Incorrect VSS calibrator calibration may adversely affect operation of ABS, engine control system and cruise control system.

TRIPMETER Pressing button on cluster resets trip mileage to zero.

TESTING CAUTION: When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION before disconnecting battery. CAUTION: Static electricity can destroy integrated circuits in instrument cluster and VSS calibrator. Before servicing these components, ground yourself and work area to discharge static electricity. NOTE:

Check GAUGES or IGN/GAU fuse in passenger compartment fuse block before testing. If all components in cluster are inoperative, check instrument cluster power and ground circuits. If power and ground circuits are okay, replace instrument cluster.

CAUTION: Avoid breathing R-134a refrigerant and PAG lubricant vapors, exposure may irritate eyes, nose and throat. To remove R-134a from system use R134a recycling equipment that meets SAE J2210 specifications. If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service. WARNING: R-134a service equipment or vehicle A/C systems SHOULD NOT be pressure tested or leak tested with compressed air. Some mixtures of air/R134a have shown to be combustible at elevated pressures. These mixtures are dangerous and may cause fire and/or explosions. See AIR CONDITIONING SERVICE article in GENERAL INFORMATION section. ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM The anti-lock brake system contains electronic equipment that can be susceptible to interference caused by improperly installed or high output radio transmitting equipment. Since this interference could cause the possible loss of the anti-lock braking capability, such equipment should be installed by qualified professionals. On models equipped with anti-lock brake systems, ALWAYS observe the following cautions: 

DO NOT attempt to bleed hydraulic system without first referring to the appropriate ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM article in the BRAKES Section. DO NOT mix tire sizes. As long as tires remain close to the original diameter, increasing the width is acceptable. Rolling diameter must be identical for all 4 tires. Some manufacturers recommend tires of the same brand, style and type. Failure to follow this precaution may cause inaccurate wheel speed readings. Use ONLY recommended brake fluids. DO NOT use silicone brake fluids in an ABS-equipped vehicle.

AXLE LUBRICANTS CAUTION: Axle lube quantities must be replaced if the axle has been submerged in water. REPLACING BLOWN FUSES CAUTION: Before replacing a blown fuse, remove ignition key, turn off all lights and accessories to avoid damaging the electrical system.

may exist on some vehicles. These vehicles may require a relearn procedure. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION section. BRAKE PAD WEAR INDICATOR CAUTION: Indicator will cause a squealing or scraping noise, warning that brake pads need replacement. CATALYTIC CONVERTER CAUTION: To prevent catalytic converter overheating, DO NOT allow engine to idle for more than 20 minutes. COOLANT (DEX-COOL 1995-96 MODELS) CAUTION: Some 1995 build-out and all 1996 models have DEX-COOL engine coolant installed at the factory. DEX-COOL coolant is a silicate-free coolant that is orange in color. It should not be mixed with regular ethylene-glycol coolant. To avoid possible damage to vehicle cooling system, visually check engine coolant color before adding and/or changing engine coolant. Vehicle should have an identification label placed under the hood stating what type coolant is installed. COOLANT (PROPYLENE-GLYCOL FORMULATIONS) CAUTION: To avoid possible damage to vehicle use only ethylene-glycol based coolants with a mixture ratio from 44-68% anti-freeze. DO NOT use 100% anti-freeze as it will cause the formation of cooling system deposits. This results in coolant temperatures of over 300° F (149°C) which can melt plastics. 100% anti-freeze has a freeze point of only -8° F (-22°C). CAUTION: Propylene-Glycol Mixtures has a smaller temperature range than EthyleneGlycol. The temperature range (freeze-boil) of a 50/50 Anti-Freeze/Water Mix is as follows: Propylene-Glycol -26° F (-32°C) - 257° F (125°C); Ethylene-Glycol -35° F (-37°C) - 263° F (128°C). CAUTION: Propylene-Glycol/Ethylene-Glycol Mixtures can cause the destabilization of various corrosion inhibitors. Also Propylene-Glycol/Ethylene-Glycol has a different specific gravity than Ethylene-Glycol coolant, which will result in inaccurate freeze point calculations.

NOTE:

Learn Mode Cancellation The learn mode will cancel if the ignition is cycled to OFF or if more than 2 minutes has elapsed for any sensor that has not been learned. If the learn mode is cancelled before the first sensor is learned, the original sensor IDs will be maintained. If the learn mode is canceled for any reason after the first sensor is learned, all IDs are erased from the BCM memory and if equipped, the DIC will display dashes for tire pressures. WARNING: Stray signals from other TPM equipped vehicles just driving by can be inadvertently learned. If any random horn chirps are heard from the vehicle while performing the learn procedure, most likely a stray sensor has been learned and the procedure will need to be cancelled and repeated. Under these circumstances, performing the TPM Learn Procedure away from other vehicles would be highly recommended. In the event a particular sensor activation does not cause the horn to chirp, it may be necessary to rotate the wheel valve stem to a different position due to the sensor signal is being blocked by another component. Before proceeding with the steps below, verify the following: No other sensor learn procedure is being performed simultaneously within close proximity. Tire pressures are not being adjusted on another TPM equipped vehicle within close proximity. Park Brake and Headlamp Switch

1997 Chevrolet S10 Pickup DOOR LOCKS - POWER 1997 ACCESSORIES/SAFETY EQUIP General Motors Corp. - Power Door Locks

DOOR LOCKS - POWER 1997 ACCESSORIES/SAFETY EQUIP General Motors Corp. - Power Door Locks

DESCRIPTION & OPERATION When door lock switch is operated, all doors will lock or unlock. Each lock can also be operated manually. Locks are operated by reversible motors. Door lock switches operate to turn motors on by supplying battery voltage to one terminal and ground to the other terminal. When either door lock switch is moved to LOCK position, it completes a circuit to the motors. Motor in each door runs to operate door locks. When door lock switch is released, circuit is opened and motors turn off. When door lock switch is moved to UNLOCK position, polarity of voltage to motors is reversed. Door lock switches are usually closed for just a moment. If door lock switches are held closed, a circuit breaker in each motor will open to protect against damage. Circuit breakers close automatically when they cool.

TROUBLE SHOOTING Before proceeding to TESTING , perform the following visual inspections: 

 

Check appropriate circuit breakers and fuses. If circuit breakers or fuses are blown, service and repair source of overload. Replace circuit breakers and fuses. Check for mechanical failures or binding linkage. Check for broken or partially broken wire inside insulation, which could cause system malfunction but prove good in a continuity/voltage check with system disconnected. These circuits may be intermittent or resistive when loaded. Check by monitoring voltage drop with system under load. Check for proper installation of aftermarket electronic equipment.

TESTING CAUTION: When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION before disconnecting battery. NOTE:

See appropriate wiring diagram under WIRING DIAGRAMS to assist in testing procedures.

STEERING SYSTEM - POWER RECIRCULATING BALL 1997 STEERING Power Recirculating Ball - General Motors Corp.

DESCRIPTION & OPERATION Steering gear is a variable ratio, recirculating ball-type which acts as a rolling thread between worm shaft and rack piston. The worm shaft is supported at lower end by a thrust bearing with 2 races. It is supported at upper end by a bearing assembly in the adjuster plug. Control valves, located inside steering gear housing, direct power steering fluid to either side of rack piston. See Fig. 1 . Steering linkage connects steering gear to front wheels through pitman arm. Steering linkage consists of pitman arm, idler arm, relay rod and tie rods. See Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 . Tie rod ends connect to relay rod by ball studs. Adjuster tubes between inner and outer tie rod ends are used to adjust toe. Some models have a shock absorber attached to relay rod. Two different types of vane-type power steering pumps are used. The Model "P" pump is mounted inside reservoir. See Fig. 9 . The Model "CB" pump is mounted below reservoir. See Fig. 11 . On both models, vanes are driven by a rotor and move fluid from intake to pressure cavities of pump ring.

Steering Pressure Gauge (J-5176-D) hose to power steering pump fitting. Connect other hose from valve side of tester to steering gear inlet. 2. Open valve on pressure gauge. Check fluid level and add fluid as necessary. Check for possible leaks at pressure gauge connections. Bleed air from system. See HYDRAULIC SYSTEM BLEEDING under LUBRICATION. Run engine until fluid reaches normal operating temperature of 150-170°F (66-77°C). Check fluid level and add fluid as necessary. 3. Note pressure reading with valve open and engine idling. Pressure should be 80-125 psi (6-9 kg/cm2 ). If pressure exceeds 200 psi (14 kg/cm2 ), check hoses for restrictions and poppet valve for proper assembly. CAUTION: To prevent pump damage, DO NOT hold gauge valve closed for more than 5 seconds. 4. Completely close and open valve 3 times. Record highest reading each time. Readings should be within specification. See PRESSURE TEST SPECIFICATIONS table. 5. If pressure readings are within specification and within 50 psi (4 kg/cm2 ) of each other, pump is operating properly. 6. If readings are within specification but not within 50 psi (4 kg/cm2 ) of each other, flow control valve in pump is sticking. Remove valve, but DO NOT disassemble it. Clean valve. Flush system if dirty. 7. If pressure is constant but more than 100 psi (7 kg/cm2 ) below specification, clean or replace flow control valve in pump. If readings are still low, replace pump. 8. If pressure readings are as specified, turn steering wheel from stop to stop with valve open. Record highest pressure with wheels at both stops. If highest pressure is not equal to highest pressure recorded in step 2), steering gear is leaking internally. Repair or replace assembly. 9. Turn engine off. Remove tester. Reconnect pressure hose. Check fluid level. Bleed hydraulic system. See HYDRAULIC SYSTEM BLEEDING under LUBRICATION. PRESSURE TEST SPECIFICATIONS Idle Pressure psi (kg/cm2 ) 80-125 (6-9)

Relief Pressure psi (kg/cm2 ) 1100-1200 (77-84)

LUBRICATION FLUID TYPE Manufacturer recommends General Motors Power Steering Fluid (1050017) or an equivalent. Failure to use proper fluid will cause hose and seal damage. FLUID LEVEL CHECK To check fluid level, run engine until power steering fluid reaches normal operating temperature, about 170°F (77°C). Turn engine off. Remove fluid reservoir cap, and check level gauge. On models with remote reservoir, fluid level should be 1/2"-1" from top of reservoir with wheels turned fully left. Add fluid through fluid reservoir cap as necessary, and recheck fluid level. DO NOT overfill system. Microsoft Saturday, August 29, 2009 11:48:34 AM

POWER WINDOWS 1997 ACCESSORIES/SAFETY EQUIP General Motors Corp. - Power Windows

DESCRIPTION & OPERATION A permanent-magnet motor operates each power window. Each motor raises and lowers window when voltage is supplied. Motor direction depends on polarity of supply voltage. Switches control supply voltage polarity. Master door lock/power window switch assembly controls all motors. Individual window switches are located on each door panel. Each motor is protected by a built-in circuit breaker. If a window switch is held too long with window obstructed or after window is fully up or down, circuit breaker opens circuit. Circuit breaker resets automatically as it cools.

TROUBLE SHOOTING Before proceeding to TESTING , perform the following visual inspections:  

 

Check POWER WINDOW CIRCUIT BREAKER for damage. Replace if damaged. Check power window voltage supply fuse. If fuse is blown, service and repair source of overload. Replace fuse. Check for mechanical failures or binding linkage. If express down feature does not work, but window moves down with each switch depression, replace left window switch. Check for broken or partially broken wire inside insulation, which could cause system malfunction but prove good in a continuity/voltage check with system disconnected. These circuits may be intermittent or resistive when loaded. Check by monitoring voltage drop with system under load. Check for proper installation of aftermarket electronic equipment.

TESTING CAUTION: When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION before disconnecting battery. NOTE:

Before any testing is attempted, battery should be fully charged and all connections and pins cleaned and tightened to ensure proper continuity and ground.

NOTE:

See appropriate wiring diagram under WIRING DIAGRAMS to assist in testing procedures.

1997 ELECTRICAL General Motors Corp. - Starters

DESCRIPTION When the ignition switch is turned to the START position, the Delco-Remy starter solenoid windings are energized. This causes the solenoid plunger to move the shift lever, which engages the pinion with the engine flywheel ring gear. The movement of the plunger also closes the main solenoid contacts, applying battery voltage to the starter motor. See Fig. 1 . When the engine starts, the pinion will overrun, protecting the armature from excessive speed and the flywheel from damage. When the ignition switch is released, the plunger return spring disengages the pinion. On starters with the SD designation, used on gasoline engines only, the pinion is driven directly by the armature shaft. Wound field coils energize pole pieces that are arranged around the armature. Starters with the PG designation, used on diesel or large displacement gasoline engines, have a pinion that is driven by a gear reduction system. These starters are easily identified by 3 Torx bolts that retain the solenoid. The PG starter should not be disassembled and is serviceable only by complete replacement.

TROUBLE SHOOTING NOTE:

For information not covered in this article, see the TROUBLE SHOOTING BASIC PROCEDURES article in the GENERAL INFORMATION section.

TROUBLE SHOOTING HINTS Note condition of SECURITY indicator light. If indicator stays on or flashes continuously troubleshoot antitheft system. Check starter solenoid terminals and battery grounds. Check for proper installation of aftermarket electronic equipment. Perform self-diagnostic system test, to be certain no trouble codes are stored in PCM memory which may lead to misdiagnosis. See appropriate TESTS W/CODES - 2.2L or TESTS W/CODES 4.3L article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE section. Check Black fusible link located at generator, Blue fusible link located at battery and Black fusible link located at battery junction block. Check 10-amp CRANK No. 20 fuse, located in instrument panel fuse block. See COMPONENT LOCATIONS table. STARTER NOISE CAUTION: Never operate starter for periods of more than 15 seconds. Excessive cranking can cause starter to overheat. Allow starter to cool for at least 2 minutes after each time operated. NOTE:

Check flywheel ring gear for damage.

1. A high-pitched whine, heard while cranking (before engine starts), indicates excessive distance between starter pinion and flywheel. If high-pitched whine is heard after engine starts and key is released, distance between starter pinion and flywheel is too small. Locate high spot on flywheel before checking pinion-toflywheel clearance. Pinion-to-flywheel clearance should be .020" (0.5 mm). See Fig. 2 . 2. If loud, siren-like "whoop" sound is heard after the engine starts, drive assembly is likely defective. If "rumble", "growl" or "knock" is present as starter is coasting to a stop after starting engine, starter armature is bent or unbalanced. 3. If diagnosis indicates pinion should be closer to flywheel, ensure proper starter motor was installed. During initial starter motor installation, shim(s) are not used. If shim(s) are present, remove as necessary. 4. If diagnosis indicates starter should be moved away from flywheel, add shims as necessary. If Microsoft Saturday, August 29, 2009 11:31:01 AM

using .039" (1.0 mm) long shims, do not exceed 2 shims. If using .015" (.38 mm) long shims, do not exceed 3 shims. If condition is not corrected, and pinion-to-flywheel clearance has been reached, short shims may be added to outer side of starter motor bolt using .015" (.38 mm) shims. For starter removal, see STARTER under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION .

Fig. 6: Solenoid Winding Test Connections Courtesy of GENERAL MOTORS CORP. STARTER NO-LOAD TEST CAUTION: DO NOT apply more voltage than specified. Excessive voltage may cause armature to throw windings due to excessive speed. 1. Secure starter in vise. Turn carbon pile off and open switch. Connect test equipment to starter as illustrated. See Fig. 7 . Turn switch on and adjust carbon pile until voltage reads as specified. See STARTER NO-LOAD TEST SPECIFICATIONS table. Check ammeter reading and pinion speed on RPM indicator. Turn off carbon pile and open switch. Compare RPM and amperage readings with specifications. See STARTER NO-LOAD TEST SPECIFICATIONS table. 2. If amperage and RPM readings are as specified, starter motor is okay. If test indicates low free speed and/or high current draw, unit may have tight, dirty or worn bearings or bushings, shorted or grounded armature, or a grounded field. 3. High current draw with pinion moving into cranking position but no pinion rotation indicates a direct ground in field, or frozen bearings or bushings. No pinion movement and a normal current reading indicates plunger is unable to move into solenoid or drive is unable to move on armature shaft. No pinion movement and very low or no current draw indicates an open or ground in solenoid windings. 4. Pinion moving into cranking position but not turning and very low current draw indicates an open in field circuit or armature windings, or no current flow between solenoid battery and motor field terminals while motor is engaged. Connect a jumper wire between solenoid battery and motor field terminal "M". If motor now turns at specified RPM, replace solenoid. 5. Low no-load and low current draw indicates high internal resistance due to poor brush lead connections; a dirty commutator; an open in armature windings; broken, worn or weak brush springs; or worn, damaged or dirty brushes. High no-load speed and high current draw indicates shorted field coils or shorted armature windings. If starter vibrates or is noisy, armature may be rubbing against inside of frame and field.

ARMATURE TEST NOTE:

Any ball bearings that are removed from armature must be replaced with new bearings.

1. Inspect solder joints between armature windings and commutator bars. If any have come loose, replace armature. If commutator is rough or damaged, replace armature. DO NOT turn commutator in lathe or undercut spaces between bars. If commutator is dirty, clean with 400 grit emery cloth and blow away any copper dust. 2. Using growler, check armature for shorts. Hold a flat steel strip on armature parallel to armature core or shaft. Rotate armature in growler. Steel strip will vibrate on area of short circuit. 3. Using self-powered test light, place one lead on armature shaft and other lead on commutator. Test light should not illuminate. If test light illuminates, armature is shorted or grounded and must be replaced. 4. If no-load test indicated armature may be rubbing against inside of frame and field assembly, inspect outside of armature for signs of rubbing. If armature is scored only on one side of laminations, armature shaft may be bent and armature should be replaced. If scoring is all around armature laminations, check frame and field assembly for an out-of-position pole or for a foreign object lodged inside. Repair or replace frame and field assembly. CAUTION: Some starters have a molded-type commutator. DO NOT undercut insulation as it may cause serious damage to commutator. FIELD COIL OPEN TEST Remove armature from frame and field assembly. Using self-powered test light, place one lead on field lead connection and other lead on one insulated brush. See Fig. 8 . Test light should illuminate. If test light does not illuminate, field coil is open. Repair or replace field and frame assembly. Repeat test for each insulated brush.

I - SYSTEM/COMPONENT TESTS - 2.2L 1997 ENGINE PERFORMANCE General Motors Corp. - System & Component Testing - 2.2L 2WD

INTRODUCTION Before testing separate components or systems, perform procedures in the BASIC TESTING - 2.2L article. Since many computer-controlled and monitored components set a trouble code if they malfunction, also perform procedures in the TESTS W/CODES - 2.2L article. NOTE:

Testing individual components does not isolate shorts or opens. Perform all voltage tests with a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) with a minimum 10-megohm input impedance, unless stated otherwise in test procedure. Use ohmmeter and refer to the WIRING DIAGRAMS article to isolate wiring harness shorts or opens.

Oxygen Sensor (O2S)

See ENGINE SENSORS & SWITCHES . NOTE:

If injectors are dirty, they should be cleaned using approved injector cleaning procedure before performing fuel INJECTOR BALANCE TEST.

Port Fuel Injector Balance Test (SFI)

The injector balance test is used to pulse the injector for a precise amount of time, spraying a measured amount of fuel in the intake manifold. As each injector is pulsed, a drop in fuel rail pressure occurs. This pressure drop can be recorded and compared to other injectors. All injectors should have a pressure drop of 1.5 psi (.11 kg/cm2 ) or less. If pressure drop is more or less than other injectors, replace appropriate injector. NOTE:

Allow engine to cool to avoid irregular readings due to "hot soak" fuel boiling. To prevent flooding, INJECTOR BALANCE TEST should not be repeated more than once without starting and running engine.

1. Turn ignition off. Connect Fuel Pressure Gauge (J-39021-301) to pressure tap. Unplug harness connector at all injectors. Connect Injector Switch Box (J-39021-210) to one of the injectors. 2. Follow manufacturer's instructions when installing adapter harness. Ignition should be turned off at least 10 seconds to complete PCM/VCM shutdown cycle. 3. Turn ignition on. Fuel pump should run at least 2 seconds after ignition is turned on. Bleed air from gauge and hose to ensure accurate gauge reading. Repeat this procedure until all air is bled from system. Turn ignition off for at least 10 seconds. 4. Turn ignition on again to bring fuel pressure to maximum. Record initial pressure reading. Energize Microsoft Saturday, August 29, 2009 11:38:27 AM

switch box one time and note pressure drop at lowest point. 5. Disregard any slight pressure drop after low point is reached. Subtracting second pressure reading from initial reading indicates amount of injector pressure drop. 6. Repeat step 4) on each injector and compare pressure drop. Recheck injectors not within pressure drop range. Replace injector(s) failing second check. If injectors are all okay, plug in harness connectors and review SYMPTOMS in the TESTS W/O CODES - 2.2L article. IDLE CONTROL SYSTEM Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve

1. Disconnect harness connector to motor. Check resistance across IAC coil terminals "A" to "B" and "C" to "D". See Fig. 2 . Resistance should be 40-80 ohms. If okay, go to next step. If resistance is not as specified, replace IAC valve. 2. Check resistance between IAC terminals "B" to "C" and "A" to "D". Resistance should be infinite. If resistance is not as specified, replace IAC valve. NOTE:

Functional testing of Idle Air Control (IAC) valve requires a bidirectional scan tool capable of cycling PCM/VCM output devices or a special IAC Driver and Noid Light Set (222L or J-37027). Text in TESTS W/CODES - 2.2L article may refer to Tech 1 tester, General Motor's bidirectional scan tool.

An open or short to ground in Ignition Control (IC) or by-pass circuit will cause PCM/VCM to turn on Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) and confirm fault by setting a related trouble code. Refer to the TESTS W/CODES - 2.2L article. Knock Sensor Circuit (Models Using External Spark Controller Module)

1. An open or short circuit on IC module control wire to PCM/VCM will cause a loss of 12-volt IC module signal. This will cause PCM/VCM to fully retard ignition timing. 2. If a scan tool is available, connect tester to Data Link Connector (DLC). Using a metal object, tap on engine next to knock sensor and note knock parameter. Knock should be indicated on scan tool. 3. If a scan tool is not available, backprobe PCM/VCM knock sensor signal terminal with a DVOM. With engine idling, 8-12 volts should be present at this terminal. Using a metal object, tap on engine close to knock sensor. Voltage signal at PCM/VCM terminal should drop to zero volts, and return to original voltage when knock signal ceases. 4. If voltage signal does not respond as described, check knock sensor-to-module-signal. On vehicles equipped with automatic transmission, it may be necessary to place transmission in Drive for timing change to occur. See KNOCK SENSOR under ENGINE SENSORS & SWITCHES . Knock Sensor Circuit (Models Using Knock Sensor With Internal Spark Controller Module)

1. An open or short circuit on knock sensor wire to PCM/VCM will set a related trouble code. A false detonation signal will not cause PCM/VCM to set a code. 2. If a scan tool is available, connect it to Data Link Connector (DLC). Tap on engine next to knock sensor and note "knock" parameter. Knock should be indicated on scan tool. 3. If a scan tool is not available, connect tachometer to engine. Start engine and hold RPM above idle. Using a metal object, tap on engine close to knock sensor. A noticeable decrease in engine RPM should occur. If no RPM decrease occurred, check knock sensor to PCM/VCM circuit. 4. On vehicles equipped with automatic transmission, it may be necessary to place transmission in Drive for timing change to occur. See KNOCK SENSOR under ENGINE SENSORS & SWITCHES .

EMISSION SYSTEMS & SUB-SYSTEMS EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION Linear EGR Valve (Digital Valve)

1. Install scan tool. Ensure transmission range switch is operating properly. See ENGINE SENSORS & SWITCHES . With engine at normal operating temperature, command EGR pintle position to zero percent. Increase engine speed to 2000 RPM. If scan tool reads actual EGR pintle position at greater than 3 percent, EGR valve is stuck open. Replace EGR valve. 2. If scan tool reads actual EGR pintle position at 3 percent or less, command a 25 percent position step increase (i.e. 0-25 percent, 25-50 percent, 50-75 percent, etc.). Observe MAP reading and actual EGR pintle position for 3 seconds. EGR should increase by about 25 percent position and MAP reading should also increase. 3. If actual EGR pintle position is stable and within 10 percent of desired EGR pintle position command Microsoft Saturday, August 29, 2009 11:38:27 AM

after 2 seconds, go to next step. If actual EGR pintle position is not as specified, go to step 5). 4. MAP reading should have increased when EGR pintle responded. If MAP did not respond, check EGR passages and EGR valve for blockage. If MAP responded, set desired EGR pintle position to 100 percent. If EGR pintle position sets to 100 percent, EGR is okay. If not, replace EGR valve. 5. Turn engine off. Check EGR electrical circuit and connecting components. Turn ignition on, check for 5volt reference voltage on harness connector terminal "D" (Gray wire). If 5-volt reference voltage is not present, check PCM/VCM. See CONTROL UNIT under COMPUTERIZED ENGINE CONTROLS. If circuits are okay, replace EGR valve. FUEL EVAPORATION CONTROL EVAP Control System

A problem in the EVAP control system will set a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). See the TESTS W/CODES - 2.2L article. POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION Required Service

The PCV system may require service for obstructions if any of the following conditions exist:     

Rough Idle Stalling or Low Idle Speed Oil Leaks Oil in Air Cleaner Sludge in Engine

A leaking PCV valve or hose could cause:   

Rough Idle Stalling High Idle Speed

If engine idles roughly, check for clogged PCV valve and for plugged or broken PCV hoses BEFORE adjusting idle. Check for correct PCV valve application to ensure the correct valve is fitted. Replace PCV valve if required. Checking PCV Valve Function

1. Remove PCV valve from rocker cover. Run engine at idle. Place thumb over open end of valve to check for vacuum. If there is no vacuum at valve, check for obstruction in manifold port, hoses or PCV valve. Repair or replace as necessary. 2. Turn engine off. Remove PCV valve. Shake valve and listen for rattle of check valve inside PCV valve. If a clear rattle is not heard, replace PCV valve. Microsoft Saturday, August 29, 2009 11:38:27 AM

3. Visually inspect valve for varnish or deposits that may make PCV valve sticky, restricted or incompletely seated. Replace if necessary. 4. Engine must be sealed for PCV system to function as designed. If leakage, sludging or dilution of oil is noted and PCV system is functioning properly, check engine for cause and repair as required to ensure PCV system will continue to function properly. 5. Since an engine operating without any crankcase ventilation can be damaged, it is important to replace PCV valve and air cleaner breather at regular intervals (at least every 30,000 miles). Check all hoses and clamps for failure or deterioration.

RELAY LOCATION A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH RELAY LOCATION Application Location S/T Series In Engine Compartment, On Bracket At Center Of Firewall WARNING: Vehicles may be equipped with a PCM using an Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM). When replacing PCM, the new PCM must be programmed. NOTE:

To help save diagnostic time, ALWAYS check for blown fuses or fusible links before proceeding with any testing. If fuses are blown, locate and repair short circuit before replacing fuses. Ensure all related relay and wire harness connections are clean and tight. Repair as necessary.

A/C CLUTCH CIRCUIT DIAGNOSIS Description

PCM receives an A/C request signal from Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) over serial data line. When A/C is requested, PCM provides a ground path to A/C clutch relay control circuit. When relay circuit is grounded, A/C compressor clutch relay is energized. After A/C request has been selected, PCM will delay grounding A/C compressor relay control circuit for .3 second. This allows PCM to adjust engine idle RPM for additional load. PCM will temporarily de-energize A/C compressor clutch relay for a hot engine restart, wide open throttle, engine speed greater than 6000 RPM, or Idle Air Control (IAC) valve reset. A/C compressor clutch relay will remain de-energized when a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0530 is set, or there is no A/C request signal due to an open A/C select switch circuit. Compressor Clutch Control Circuit Diagnosis

1. If On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check has not been performed, see the BASIC TESTING - 2.2L article and go to OBD SYSTEM CHECK. If OBD SYSTEM CHECK has been performed, go to next step. 2. Install scan tool. Check if DTC P0530 is set. If DTC P0530 is set, see the TESTS W/CODES - 2.2L article. If DTC P0530 is not set, go to next step. 3. Turn ignition on, engine off. Check if A/C compressor clutch is engaged. If A/C compressor clutch is engaged, go to next step. If A/C compressor clutch is not engaged, go to step 5). 4. Disconnect A/C relay. If A/C compressor clutch disengages, go to step 6). If A/C compressor clutch does not disengage, go to step 7). 5. Start engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature. Cycle A/C selector switch on, then off. If A/C compressor clutch cycles on, then off, go to step 8). If A/C compressor clutch does not cycle on, then off, go to step 9).
