the pads, or any other work.
The battery must be
disconnected to prevent the
brake master cylinder from
pressurizing the hydraulic
system during its automated
self diagnostic tests that may
occur when a door is opened
or the remote key is present.
{Warning
To avoid personal injury and/
or vehicle damage, always
disconnect the battery
before performing service
work on the hydraulic brake
system. Bleeding the brake
system with the battery
connected can lead to
excessive pressurization of
the system during automatic
diagnostic tests or diagnosis
of a leak or air in the braking
system. A Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) may set
and vehicle speed may be
limited.Brake Cooling (V-Series
Blackwing)
Prior to any track event, high
speed driving event,
or competitive driving,
complete the following:
1. Ensure all the brake cooling parts are correctly
secured and installed.
2. Inspect and replace any deflectors that have
damage.
3. Inspect for blockage in the front brake cooling duct
prior to every event.
If improved brake cooling is
desired, install the ball joint
protector front shields,
remove both upper and lower
rear rotor shields, and install
the rear lower control arm
cooling deflectors, per the
instructions included with the
brake cooling kit. These parts
are for track use only. After
track events reinstall original
front and rear rotor shields,
and remove rear lower control
arm cooling deflectors.Right Side Front Shown, Left Side Front Similar

Brake Pad Wear Sensors
If equipped, the brake pad
wear sensors need to be
removed from the brake
calipers prior to any track or
racing event. The original
sensors can be reinstalled if
significant brake pad wear is
not observed. Refer to Brake
Pad Life System (If Equipped)
0 396. If the sensors are not
reinstalled after the track
event, install brake pad wear
sensor plugs. See your dealer.
The V-Series Blackwing is
equipped with brake pad wear
sensors which are track
capable and should not be
disabled for track and racing.
A message will display in the
Driver Information Center
(DIC) when the brake pads
show excessive wear.
Brake Fluid
Replace existing brake fluid
with a qualified DOT 4 high
performance brake fluid from a sealed container. Brake fluid
with a dry boiling point >310 °C
(590 °F) is qualified. If high
performance brake fluid is
used, replace it with GM
approved brake fluid before
driving on public roads. If high
performance brake fluid is in
the vehicle and the age of the
brake fluid is over a month old
or unknown, replace the brake
fluid before track events and
competitive driving. Do not use
silicone or DOT 5 brake fluids.
Disconnect the battery before
bleeding the system, replacing
the pads, or any other work.
The battery must be
disconnected to prevent the
brake master cylinder from
pressurizing the hydraulic
system during its automated
self diagnostic tests that may
occur when a door is opened
or the remote key is present.
Check the fluid level before
each competitive driving
event.
Brake System Flushing &
Bleeding
The J55 brake system
requires specific processes
for bleeding and fluid flushing.
These can be found in the
service manual.
Properly bleeding the brake
system is required for proper
operation of the hydraulic
brake system.
Brake Leak Detection
The hydraulic braking system
has advanced diagnostic
capability to help detect
hydraulic leaks, trapped air,
and other performance issues.
These diagnostics are active
when the hydraulic system is
powered. In order to avoid
inadvertently setting a leak
Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC), disconnect the battery
before servicing the brake
system.
If the vehicle sets a DTC
related to a brake system leak,
the Brake System Warning

264 Driving and Operating
If the remote key is not in
the vehicle, if there is
interference, or if the
remote key battery is low,
a Driver Information
Center (DIC) message will
display. See Remote Key
Operation09.
Caution
Cranking the engine for long
periods of time, by pressing
ENGINE START/STOP
immediately after cranking
has ended, can overheat and
damage the cranking motor,
and drain the battery. Wait
at least 15 seconds between
each try, to let the cranking
motor cool down.
2. If the engine does not start after five to 10 seconds,
especially in very cold
weather (below −18 °C or
0 °F), it could be flooded
with too much gasoline.
Try pushing the
accelerator pedal all the
way to the floor and hold it there, then press ENGINE
START/STOP for up to a
maximum of 15 seconds.
Wait at least 15 seconds
between each try, to allow
the cranking motor to cool
down. When the engine
starts, let go of the button
and the accelerator. If the
vehicle starts briefly but
then stops again, do the
same thing. This clears the
extra gasoline from the
engine. Do not race the
engine immediately after
starting it. Operate the
engine and transmission
gently until the oil warms
up and lubricates all
moving parts.
Stopping the Engine
If the vehicle has an automatic
transmission, move the shift
lever to P (Park) and press and
hold ENGINE START/STOP on
the instrument panel, until the
engine shuts off. If the shift
lever is not in P (Park), the
engine shuts off and the
ignition goes to accessory
mode. The DIC displays SHIFT
TO PARK. Once the shift lever
is moved to P (Park), the
vehicle turns off.
If the vehicle has a manual
transmission, before getting
out of the vehicle, shift to
1 (First) or R (Reverse) and
apply the parking brake. Then
turn off the ignition off by
pressing ENGINE START/
STOP and release the clutch
pedal when the engine has
stopped.
If the remote key is not
detected inside the vehicle
when it is turned off the DIC
displays a message.
Stop/Start System
If equipped, the Stop/Start
system will shut off the engine
to help conserve fuel. It has
components designed for the
increased number of starts.
