depending on the speed and load being
applied by the PTO, may not be able to
generate enough energy or adequate heat
needed to automatically clean or regenerate
the DPF. If manual regeneration is not
initiated, continued operation under
conditions that do not allow effective
regeneration or cleaning will eventually plug
the DPF and result in reduced power. The

have not been met. When enabling PTO, the
PTO indicator light will turn on, then turn
off after one second. Under normal
operating conditions, the PTO indicator light
will remain on throughout the PTO
operating cycle.
Additional in-vehicle PTO module
information can be accessed by the service
technician to aid in troubleshooting. Also see
the service manual for more information. The GM service technician can access Service
Tool information that will contain reasons
why PTO may not engage and why PTO
may unexpectedly disengage due to system
conditions.
See www.gmupfitter.com for information on
the installation of wiring and programming
for PTO aftermarket equipment.
Diesel Particulate Filter Cleaning during
PTO Operation
This feature is only available on Fleet and
Commercial vehicles. To verify that the
vehicle has this feature, see
www.gmupfitter.com to contact the GM
Upfitter Integration Group for assistance.
If equipped, this feature allows for manual
cleaning/regeneration of the Diesel
Particulate Filter (DPF) when it is unable to
clean itself. It may be necessary to perform
a manual regeneration if driving conditions
—
such as extended slow speed, stop-and-go
traffic, extended idles, short drive cycles,
or stationary PTO operation —prevent DPF
self-cleaning. Manual regeneration can only be used when
the DPF has become at least 90% full. At
100% full, it will attempt to automatically
self-clean if proper driving conditions are
met. The DPF will clean itself if the vehicle
can be driven above 50 km/h (30 mph) for
about 30 minutes.
Manual regeneration can be used during a
stationary PTO session. However it is
strongly recommended that the exhaust
filter be cleaned before continuous PTO.
If manual regeneration is operating
concurrently with PTO then the PTO system
will retain control of the engine speed. Low
PTO engine speeds will cause regeneration
to take longer. To initiate a manual DPF
regeneration, see
“Manual Regeneration of
Diesel Particulate Filter” inDiesel Particulate
Filter 019.

arrow on top of the housing base, and
fasten the two retaining clips.
7. Align the two bushings under the housing base to the guide pins below on
the closure assembly and push the
housing base into place. 8. Reinstall the two screws to secure the
housing base.{Warning
If part replacement is necessary, the part
must be replaced with one of the same
part number or with an equivalent part.
Use of a replacement part without the
same fit, form, and function may result
in personal injury or damage to the
vehicle.
See Maintenance Schedule 073 or
Maintenance Schedule 077 to determine
when to replace the engine air cleaner/filter.
{Warning
Operating the engine with the air
cleaner/filter off can cause you or others
to be burned. Use caution when working
on the engine. Do not start the engine or
drive the vehicle with the air cleaner/
filter off, as flames may be present if the
engine backfires.

Caution
If the air cleaner/filter is off, dirt can
easily get into the engine, which could
damage it. Always have the air cleaner/
filter in place when driving.
Cooling System
The cooling system allows the engine to
maintain the correct working temperature.
2.8L 4-Cylinder Engine Pickup Models
See“Cooling System” in the owner’s
manual.
2.8L 4-Cylinder Engine Van Models
1. Coolant Surge Tank
2. Coolant Surge Tank Pressure Cap
3. Engine Cooling Fan (Out of View)
{Warning
An underhood electric fan can start up
even when the engine is not running and
can cause injury. Keep hands, clothing,
and tools away from any underhood
electric fan.
{Warning
Do not touch heater or radiator hoses,
or other engine parts. They can be very
hot and can burn you. Do not run the
engine if there is a leak; all coolant could
leak out. That could cause an engine fire
and can burn you. Fix any leak before
driving the vehicle.
Engine Coolant
The cooling system in the vehicle is
filled with DEX-COOL engine coolant
mixture. See Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants 078 and
Maintenance Schedule 073 or
Maintenance Schedule 077. The following explains the cooling system
and how to add coolant when it is low.
If there is a problem with engine
overheating, see
Engine Overheating 062.
A 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water
and DEX-COOL coolant will:
.Give freezing protection down to −37 °C
(−34 °F).
.Give boiling protection up to 129 °C
(265 °F).
.Protect against rust and corrosion.
.Help keep the proper engine temperature.
.Let the warning lights and gauges work
as they should.
What to Use
{Warning
Plain water, or other liquids such as
alcohol, can boil before the proper
coolant mixture will. With plain water or
the wrong mixture, the engine could get
too hot but there would not be an
overheat warning. The engine could catch
fire and you or others could be burned.
