Supersession Statement
This PI was superseded to update Recommendations/Instructions. Please discard PIP4017B
The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.
Condition / Concern
On rare occasions, a SES light may be encountered due to a P1174 DTC. In some instances, a
P0300 may also be stored. This may be due to a fuel injector concern on one of the cylinders
that a Tech 2 fuel injector balance test may not isolate.
Recommendations / Instructions
If the SI diagnostics do not isolate a cause for this concern, perform the Fuel Injector
Diagnosis (w/CH47976) in SI. If a lean injector is found, replace it and re-evaluate the
concern. In some instances, a fuel injector that has a flow rate as little as 3% less than the
other 3 injectors could cause this DTC to set. Also, as mentioned in the P1174 SI diagnosis, if
the misfire current counters or misfire graph indicate any misfires, it may be an indicator of
the cylinder that is causing the concern.
Notice: As mentioned in the AFIT User Guide, vehicles that are not listed in the AFIT menu
can still be tested with the AFIT. If the model you are working on is not in the AFIT menu,
ensure that the AFIT has been updated with the latest software. To find the latest AFIT
software, follow instructions in the latest version of PIP4723 to gain access to GM tools and
equipment website. If the latest AFIT software has been installed but the vehicle you are
working on still is not listed in the AFIT menu, it will be necessary to use the direct
connection method outlined in the AFIT User Guide.
Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is
resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
