Correction

If you experience one or more of the symptoms above, please review the following areas for a possible concern.

  1. Inspect the EBCM connector for loose terminals or low pin retention at pins 8, 9, 23, and 24. These pins are for circuits 2500 and 2501 for high speed GMLAM communications with the EBCM, TCM, and ECM. Please use the proper test tool when checking pin tension. The proper test tool for this EBCM is J-35616-64B, which should be supplied in your terminal test kit. If the pins are loose or damaged, replaced all 4 pins with new terminals (part number #7116-3703-02 located in tray 14 of the GM terminal repair kit).

    Object Number: 2043301  Size: SH
  3. Inspect the transmission pass-through connector for loose or low pin retention at pins 10, 11, 13, and 14. Also make sure these pins are fully seated into the connector. See photos above for location and photo that shows a terminal that was not full seated into the transmission connector. Repair as needed.

  4. Object Number: 2043302  Size: SH

    Object Number: 2043303  Size: SH
  5. Check for a pinched/cut wiring harness where the transmission harness is attached to the transmission. The metal attachment clip may be cutting into the harness and shorting the high speed GMLAM circuit to ground. (Location and style of clip is shown in photos above) Repair as needed.
  6. Check for chaffed or shorted wiring by the park brake bracket assembly to the left IP junction block.
  7. Inspect underneath the underhood bussed electrical center (UBEC) for pinch or chaffed wires on the UBEC support bracket.

  8. Object Number: 2077437  Size: SH
  9. Check connector X1 (1) on the back of the left IP fuseblock for a loose connection. Reports from the field have found the connector not fully seated and causing intermittent concerns. See photo above for location.
