Subject: | Tech 2 Stabilitrak (Yaw/ Lat) Data Incorrect |
Models: | 2006-2008 Buick Lucerne w/ JL4 |
2006-2008 Cadillac DTS w/ JL4 |
The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.
When servicing a vehicle for a Stabilitrak system customer concern, be advised that the Tech 2 Data Display may not display the Yaw Rate Signal and Lateral Accelerometer Signal voltages accurately. This could cause improper diagnoses of the customer concern.
North American Operations applications 27.012- 28.002 are known to display the Yaw Rate Signal and Lateral Accelerometer Signal voltages incorrectly. In example, the Yaw Rate Sensor is shown as -75.53V, and the Lateral Accelerometer Signal may be displayed as 1.26V with the vehicle stationary.
The expected readings will be 2.5V when the signals are working normally.
Important: It will be necessary to identify the vehicle as a 2006 Model Year in the Tech 2 in order to view VSES Data when the following steps have been completed.
If using the Tech 2 Data Display is determined to be necessary to read these signals, back date the Tech 2 software to North American Operations application 26.010. Use the following steps in TIS2Web to accomplish this:
Important: Return the Tech 2 software to the most current application when your testing is complete to avoid loss of other Tech 2 functionality.
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.
