nut (3) and separating the cable from the battery
clamp.
Figure 6D1-3 – 8
9 Read the vehicle’s battery saver current on the multimeter. The multimeter reading should be within 16 – 30 mA (fluctuating).
10 If the multimeter reading is higher than specified, refer to Fault Diagnosis in this Section, otherwise restore the vehicle to its prior condition, refer to Restore in this Section.
Fault Diagnosis

Do not open any doors during this inspection.
If the doors must be opened, reinstall the
battery terminal to the battery clamp to
protect the multimeter's fuse from blowing.
Alternatively, use the higher (10 A) fuse rated
terminal on the multimeter until the source of
the higher current draw has been found.
1 Visually inspect the vehicle for illuminated lamps and components activated by energised relays.
2 If the cause of the excessive current draw is not apparent, remove one fuse (or circuit breaker) at a time to determine the circuit group that is drawing excess current. Refer to 8A Electrical Body & Chassis for fuse grouping
location.

4 Diagnostics
4.1 Diagnostic General Descriptions
The powertrain interface module (PIM) diagnostic procedure is organised in a logical structure that begins with the
Diagnostic System Check. The Diagnostic System Check directs the diagnostic procedure to the logical steps or
appropriate diagnostic table required to diagnose a PIM fault condition.
The diagnostic tables locate a faulty circuit or component through a logical based process of elimination. Correct use of
the diagnostic tables is essential to reduce diagnostic time and to prevent misdiagnosis.
In addition, the Diagnostic System Check provides the following information:
• identification of the PIM,
• condition of the diagnostic circuit, and
• identification and status of the DTCs if present.
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Tables
The diagnostic procedure is directed to a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) table if there are DTCs currently stored in the
PIM.
The diagnostic tables are designed to locate a faulty circuit or component through a logical based process of elimination.
The diagnostic tables are developed with the following assumptions:
• the vehicle functioned correctly at the time of assembly,
• there are no multiple faults, and
• the problem currently exists.
Multiple DTCs
W hen performing a DTC check and there are multiple DTCs, the diagnostic process must begin with the most likely DTC
that may trigger other DTCs.
Knowledge of the PIM and Tech 2 limitations are important to reduce diagnostic time and to prevent misdiagnosis. Refer
to 7.1 Diagnostic Requirements, Precautions and Preliminary Checks.
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)
W hen the ignition switch is turned on, the PIM performs an internal integrity check that detects and isolates any internal
faults. The PIM also monitors the direct input switches such as the cruise control and the serial data bus for messages
from the control modules on the GM LAN bus. If a fault is detected by the PIM, it will log a Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC) that represents the fault detected. The DTCs stored in the PIM may be accessed using Tech 2.
Status of DTCs
The PIM designates the DTCs logged into a Current or History DTC.
Current DTCs
If the fault condition that triggers the DTC is present during the last PIM self test, that DTC will be designated as a current
DTC.
History DTCs
If the fault condition that triggers the DTC is not present during the last PIM self test, that DTC will be designated as a
history DTC.
Conditions for Clearing DTCs
• If there is no DTC logged in the current PIM self test, the current DTC will be cleared.
• If there is no DTC logged after 100 consecutive drive cycles, the history DTC will be cleared.
