When servicing Stabilitrak® vehicles, test drives will
be necessary to allow all tests to be run, and all system functions to be
enabled and exercised. A test drive may also be required to duplicate specific
DTCs covered in this section. The diagnostic system check (including test
drive) should be run when vehicle repairs are complete, to verify the fix.
The diagnostic test drive will vary for ABS/TCS or Stabilitrak®
problems.
The following is a suggested Stabilitrak® diagnostic test drive.
- Read the Diagnostic Aids and the Conditions for Setting the DTC.
- Reconnect any previously disconnected components.
- Turn the ignition switch to the OFF, then start the engine.
- Connect a scan tool to the data link connector (DLC).
- Monitor the Stabilitrak Steering Angle Is Centered in the ABS/TCS/ICCS
Data Display (1) Diagnostics, Data List 2. The scan tool will indicate
Yes with the steering wheel centered. Drive the vehicle in a straight line
for 45 seconds at 24 Km/h (15 mph) while monitoring
the scan tool.
- Disconnect a scan tool from the data link connector (DLC).
- Drive the vehicle under the following conditions for at least
10 minutes. At no times should any unlawful or unsafe maneuvers be
performed.
• | Perform turning maneuvers (curved freeway entrance ramp, parking
lot maneuvers) and high steering angles and yaw rates at low speeds. |
• | Verify customers concern and duplicate driving conditions. |
• | With the engine still running use the scan tool and check for
any DTCs. |
• | If any DTCs are set, perform the appropriate DTC table. |
