This PI was superseded to update model and model years. Please discard PIT5074E.
The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.
When diagnosing an intermittent electrical concern, terminal tension is one of the main culprits, especially when
working with very small terminals. More and more modules are using small .64 series terminals and when checking
terminal tension it is important to use the correct test probe. The J-35616-64B is the latest test probe released for
checking tension or probing the .64 series terminals, see pic below.
Note: Always refer to the Connector End View in Service Information for the latest information on determining the
correct test probe to use.
If the terminal end of the J-35616-64B is bent, damaged, worn or broken it should not be used and a replacement
test probe or terminal should be obtained from GM Tools at 1-800-468-6657. The test probe terminal has been
released in the terminal repair kit (J-38125-620H) located in Lear Tray 7 part number 963716-2, shown below (Note:
When calling Kent-Moore to order terminal 963716-2, the actual part number is 963716-2PKG since they are only
sold as a pack). This terminal may also be used to make jumper wires, example to jumper the High Speed LAN
circuits together in order to bypass a module for testing only. Use crimping tool J-38125-641 and jaw "H" for 22ga
wire, "J" for 20 ga wire, or "K" for 18 ga.
If you cannot locate the Terminals in your terminal kit "Tray 7" your kit is not up to date and Kent tools will need to be
contacted so your kit can be updated. See photos below:

Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is
resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
