With the battery disconnected, verify the resistance of the HSBUS circuits across 2500,
2501 splitting the circuit at the X115 electrical connector. Refer to Master Electrical
Component List in SI. Looking for any unwanted resistance (ex. 126.7 or something other
than in the range of 120 ohms). If stray resistance is traced down to one of the module
connector terminals, verify terminal tension and ensure there is no damage to the
terminal. If the terminal is good, then apply dielectric grease to the terminals.
If the terminals are damaged or have poor terminal tension, replace with terminated leads
at the suspect module connector and apply dielectric grease to the connector.
Service Procedure
1. Disconnect the battery.
2. Disconnect the X115 engine harness electrical

GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these
technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper WE SUPPORT VOLUNTARY
service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do a
job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your TECHNICIAN
vehicle will have that condition. See your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the CERTIFICATION
information.
