This PI was superseded to update the model list. Please discard PIT5074F.
The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.
When diagnosing an intermittent electrical concern, terminal tension is one of the main culprits, especially when working with very small terminals. More and
more modules are using small .64 series terminals and when checking terminal tension it is important to use the correct test probe. The J-35616-64B is the
latest test probe released for checking tension or probing the .64 series terminals. See pic below.
Note: Always refer to the Connector End View in Service Information for the latest information on determining the correct test probe to use.
If the terminal end of the J-35616-64B is bent, damaged, worn or broken it should not be used and a replacement test probe or terminal should be obtained from
GM Tools at 1-800-468-6657. The test probe terminal has been released in the terminal repair kit (J-38125-620H) located in Lear Tray 7 part number 9637162, shown below (Note: When calling Kent-Moore to order terminal 963716-2, the actual part number is 963716-2PKG since they are only sold as a pack). This
2
terminal may also be used to make jumper wires; example: to jumper the High Speed LAN circuits together in order to bypass a module for testing only. Use
crimping tool J-38125-641 and jaw "H" for 22ga wire, "J" for 20 ga wire, or "K" for 18 ga.
If you cannot locate the Terminals in your terminal kit "Tray 7," your kit is not up to date, and Kent tools will need to be contacted so your kit can be updated. See
photos below:

GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these technicians of conditions that may
occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools,
safety instructions, and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that
your vehicle will have that condition. See your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
