ISO-flare fitting
Obtain lengths of brake pipe and prepare shorter lengths that are longer
than required to fabricate brake pipes that match the sample

8.

Workstation 10 Prepare the brake drum/rotor measurement/lathe workbench:


Obtain at least 2 brake drums and rotors with a variety of braking surface
wear conditions from various vehicles
Attach a tag to each brake drum and rotor with vehicle year/make/model
information so students can research SI to obtain the measurement
specifications
Measure each drum and rotor, make notes about its condition as a
reference
Student will qualify lathe and resurface one rotor

Fault Set-up Time: Less than 5 minutes with vehicle preparation completed prior
to course.
Fault Set-Up Steps:
1.

Use TECH 2 to take snapshot of SWPS signal 1 and 2 and position A and B
for later reference through TIS 2000. Note: If these values do not appear the
EBCM may need to be reprogrammed.

2.

Remove driver side kick panel.

3.

Remove I-shaft bolt (15mm).

4.

Disconnect the SWPS connector.

5.

Remove SWPS retaining plate

6.

Slide the SWPS forward, there is a tight tolerance between the sensor and
shaft take care not to damage while walking it forward.

7.

Rotate the outer shell one revolution ensuring that the inner portion does not
rotate along with the outer shell.

8.

Verify with TECH 2 that code C0455 sets. May need to start and rotate
steering wheel.

Any of the following conditions may cause the DTC to set:
The analog steering wheel position signal does not correlate with the digital
steering wheel position signals
When driven forward in a straight line, the centered steering angle differs by
more than 30 degrees from the centered steering angle when the sensors are
initialized
Step 1: Yes
Step 2: Yes, (may need to rotate steering wheel one revolution for the code to
reset)
Step 3: If the scan tool does not display the parameter, the tech will need to use
the DMM to observe the voltage readings, 5v reference, and low reference. Back
probe sensor signal to determine voltage and rotate steering wheel position lockto-lock taking note of voltages full right, center, and full left.
Note: Straight ahead position should indicate 2.5 volts but does not. This
indicates steering wheel position is not centered properly.

Circuit/System Testing
C0196 28
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the yaw rate sensor/lateral accelerometer connector
and EBCM connector.
2. Test for infinite resistance between the yaw rate frequency circuit and ground.
If less than infinite resistance, test the yaw rate frequency circuit for a short
to ground.
3. Test for less than 1 ohm of resistance on the yaw rate frequency circuit
between the yaw rate sensor/lateral accelerometer connector and EBCM
connector.
If greater than 1 ohm, test the yaw rate frequency circuit for an open/high
resistance.
4. Replace yaw rate sensor/lateral accelerometer, and clear the yaw rate sensor
offset value in the EBCM. If C0196 28 is still current, replace the EBCM.
SI can not address every issue that may arise associated with a DTC or
symptom. When working with the new Lean Diagnostics it is assumed that
the DSC-V is being followed. In the DSC-V many things need to be done
thouroughly, such as inspect fuses and connections. When the circuit
testing is performed it is crucial that you ensure that all powers, grounds,
and communications are adequate at the component(s) even though SI may
not specifically indicate that particular test. Always check the basics before
part replacement even if the test is not spelled out. Use all resources such
as schematics, D&O, and the scan tool data parameters and special
functions in order to make a well educated repair.

Advise the tech that the EBCM and sensor cluster have been replaced and the
concern still exists. The technician needs to check all circuits at the module and or
follow steps for the 00 symptom code.
C0196 00
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the yaw rate sensor/lateral accelerometer connector.
2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between the low reference
circuit and ground.
If greater than 1 ohm, test the low reference circuit and the EBCM ground
circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuits test
normal, replace the EBCM.
3. Test the lateral accelerometer signal circuit, the 5-volt reference circuit, and the
low reference circuit for an open/high resistance or a short to voltage or
ground.
If all circuits test normal, replace the yaw rate sensor/lateral accelerometer,
and clear the yaw rate sensor offset value in the EBCM.
If the DTC sets again after replacing the yaw rate sensor/lateral
accelerometer, replace the EBCM.
The technician then takes measurements at the sensor cluster. The technician will
note that voltage is present on the low reference circuit (there is approximately 3
volts when no voltage should be present under correct conditions). This will
indicate that an open fault exists on circuit 719. Two of the original 5 volts is being
bled through the sensor into other areas of the sensor cluster leaving 3 volts on
the low reference circuit.

Documentation (Expected Technician Path):


Perform Diagnostic Checks
Refinish two disc brake rotors (one per student):
Measure the rotor thickness to determine if it can be refinished (refer to
Brake Rotor Thickness Measurement in Service Information for
specifications)
Measure thickness variation
Use the brake lathe manufacturer's information to qualify the trueness of the
lathe arbor
Use the brake lathe cutting bits to refinish the rotor according to the Brake
Rotor Refinishing procedures located in Service Information
Use a non-directional finishing tool (or a sanding block with 120 grit
aluminum oxide sandpaper) to apply a non-directional finish

Afternoon Activities
Suggested Debrief Session - Page 1
Workstation #6:
What you did:
Created an open fault in the EBCM ground circuit
What the students did:
Followed Service Information procedures to isolate an open circuit in wiring
that resulted in no EBCM functions, including communication with a scan
tool
Important job skills:
Followed Service Information for specific ABS diagnostics
Used the TECH 2 scan tool functions related to ABS diagnosis
Briefed overview of GMLAN
Consulted schematic as needed for logical isolation of concern
Workstation #7:
What you did:
Shimmed the right front wheel speed sensor to create an excessive air gap
What the students did:
Followed Service Information procedures to isolate a wheel speed sensor
that is producing an inadequate AC voltage
Important job skills:
Followed Service Information for ABS diagnostic procedures
Used the TECH 2 scan tool functions related to ABS diagnosis
Understand how the variable reluctant sensor functions and how to test it

Workstation #8:
What you did:
Installed a BCM with an internal fault related to the traction control switch
What the students did:
Followed Service Information procedures to isolate an internal fault in the
BCM that resulted in no change in status of the traction control switch input
to the EBCM
Important job skills:
Followed Service Information for TCS diagnosis
Alternate Workstation #8:
What you did:
Pulled low reference circuit from the sensor cluster to simulate open circuit
What the students did:
Followed Service Information procedures to examine wiring schematics,
and checked voltages using the DMM
Important job skills:
Using lean diagnostics and understanding that SI can not address every
scenario and utilizing wiring schematics
Understanding the importance of reading D&O, understanding what type of
voltage or resistance readings should be present on a component
Performing all component testing even if not specified in SI, before
condemning a module

Workstation #9:
What you did:
Fabricated a sample brake pipe
What the students did:
Fabricated a replacement brake pipe that matches the sample
Important job skills:
Used tools to make brake pipe flares
Used tools to bend and cut lengths of brake pipe
