The purpose of this bulletin is to help the Service and Sales Department personnel become familiar with the new
2014 Chevrolet
Silverado and GMC
Sierra 1500 Series light duty trucks, their new features and describe the action
the Service Department personnel will need to take to ensure that they are able to fully service these vehicles.
The vehicles have been redesigned from the ground up. While some of the parts maybe be similar, most of the truck
is completely new, including all new sheet metal, interior and engines, just to name a few.
Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) and Preparation
Performing a quality pre-delivery inspection (PDI) is one of the most important functions the Service Agent (Dealer)
can do for the customer. Most customers consider the condition of their new vehicle during delivery as a direct
reflection of the Retailer and their service department.
A quality PDI is essential to improving a customer's perception of your facility and increasing his/her satisfaction with
their new vehicle.
• The 2014 Silverado form is available via Global Connect > Pre-Delivery Inspection Forms > 2014 Chevrolet![]()
Pre-Delivery Inspection Forms > 2014 Silverado.
• The 2014 Sierra form is available via Global Connect > Pre-Delivery Inspection Forms > 2014 GMC![]()
Pre-Delivery Inspection Forms > 2014 Sierra and Denali.
These forms contain the same generic PDI steps as before, but also include a section for Special Inspection Items.
This Special Inspection Items section is updated frequently and contains special items to look for during the PDI
process.
Customer Education
It is imperative that the customer be well informed about the unique features and operational characteristics of their
redesigned 2014 light duty trucks. For the sales team to be fully prepared, they should thoroughly review this New
Model Features and Service Guide and use the Getting to Know Your Vehicle (GTK) guide (available in the U.S.
Only) as an outline when presenting the vehicle(s) to the customer. Additionally, Service and Parts leadership,
Service Writers and Service Technicians should familiarize themselves with these materials to avoid attempting
repair of normal operating characteristics.
Available Product Training
The majority of the systems found on the Silverado and Sierra are taught in GM’s core curriculum from a conceptual
theory and operation perspective.

surface. Then use the microfiber cloth by gently rubbing to clean. Never use window cleaners or solvents.
Periodically hand wash the microfiber cloth separately, using mild soap. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Rinse
thoroughly and air dry before next use.
Engines — Transmission
3458386
View of the 6.2L V-8 Engine
The vehicles are available with a choice of three powerful and efficient engines which includes a 4.3L V-6, a 5.3L V-8
and a 6.2L V-8, all matched with the proven, efficient 6L80 6-speed transmission RPO MYC in the United States and
Canada. The EcoTec3 engines feature three state-of-the-art technologies – direct injection (DI), cylinder
deactivation, also known as Active Fuel Management (AFM) and continuously variable valve timing (VVT) – to make
the most of power, torque and efficiency across a broad range of operating conditions.
Notice: This engine is E85 capable.
• The new 4.3L V-6 will offer customers a state-of-the art truck engine, SAE-certified at 285 horsepower (212 kW)
and 305 lb.-ft. of torque (413 Nm), the most torque of any standard V-6.
Notice: This engine is E85 capable.
• The new 5.3L V-8 is SAE-certified at 355 horsepower (250 kW) and 383 lb.-ft. of torque (519 Nm). With
EPA-estimated fuel economy of 23 mpg highway (2WD), it is the best fuel economy of any V-8 pickup.
Canada’s EnerGuide estimated fuel consumption for the 5.3L V-8 is 13.0 L/100 km city and 8.7 L/100 km
highway.
Notice: This engine is not E85 capable.
• The new 6.2L V-8, available later this year, is expected to be the most capable engine offered in any light-duty
pickup truck. Vehicles equipped with the 6.2L V8 engine, MUST use premium unleaded gasoline with a posted
octane rating of 91 or higher.
Flexible Fuel Sensor — 4.3L V-6 and 5.3L V-8
The flexible fuel sensor measures the ethanol-gasoline ratio of the fuel being used in a flexible fuel (E85 capable)
engine as identified in this section. Flexible fuel vehicles can be operated with a blend of ethanol and gasoline, up to
85 percent ethanol.
The flexible fuel sensor uses quick-connect style fuel connections, an incoming fuel connection, and an outgoing
fuel connection. All fuel passes through the flexible fuel sensor before continuing on to the fuel rail.
The flexible fuel sensor measures the two different fuel related parameters, and sends an electrical signal to the
engine control module (ECM) to indicate ethanol percentage, and fuel temperature.
The Flexible Fuel Sensor measures the actual percentage of ethanol in the fuel. Because of this it is no longer
necessary to wait for an empty fuel tank in order to refill with E85.
Variable Displacement Two-Stage Vane-Type Oil Pump — Oil Pressure Gauge
Needle Oscillation
Variable Displacement Two-Stage Vane-Type Oil Pump
3457783
The variable displacement two-stage vane-type oil pump is new to the EcoTec3 engines that are available in the
2014 Silverado and Sierra.
Engine lubrication is supplied by the variable displacement two-stage vane-type oil pump assembly (10). An oil
control solenoid valve, controlled by the engine control module (ECM), and mounted to the oil pump provides two
stage functionality. The oil pump is mounted on the front of the engine block
and driven directly by the crankshaft
sprocket. The pump rotor and vanes rotate and draw oil from the oil pan sump through a pick-up screen and pipe (9).
The oil is pressurized as it passes through the pump and is sent through the engine block
lower oil gallery.
Pressurized oil is directed through the engine block
lower oil gallery to the full flow oil filter (8) where harmful
contaminants are removed. A bypass valve is incorporated into the oil filter, which permits oil flow in the event the
filter becomes restricted.
Oil is then directed from the filter to the upper main oil galleries and the valve lifter oil manifold assembly (6). Oil from
the left upper oil gallery is directed to the crankshaft and camshaft bearings. Oil that has entered both the upper main
oil galleries also pressurizes the valve lifter assemblies and is then pumped through the pushrods to lubricate the
valve rocker arms and valve stems. Oil returning to the pan is directed by the crankshaft oil deflector. The oil
pressure sensor (11) is located at the top front of the engine.
An oil passage at camshaft bearing location 2 permits oil flow into the center of the camshaft. Oil enters the camshaft
exiting at the front and into the camshaft position (CMP) actuator solenoid valve (2). The CMP valve spool position is
controlled by the engine control module (ECM) and CMP magnet (1). When commanded by the ECM, the CMP
magnet repositions the CMP actuator solenoid valve spool directing pressurized oil into the CMP actuator to control
valve timing.
Instrument Cluster Oil Pressure Gauge Needle Oscillation Due to Two-Stage Oil Pump Self Test
After a cold soak, when the engine is first started and the vehicle is driven, the ECM will perform a functionality test
of the two stage oil pump.
This functionality test will occur three times in a short time span and can be observed on the oil pressure gauge as a
brief increase (spike) in the oil pressure gauge needle. Upon completion of the three tests, the self test will not occur
again until after the engine is turned OFF and another cold soak has completed. The EXCEPTION to this self test
occurs if the vehicle has come to a stop BEFORE the three tests have been completed. If that occurs, the self test
will run again until the test can complete.
Additionally, at 3,500 RPM or greater, the two-stage oil pump switches over to high stage and the oil pressure gauge
needle will move to the high position.

eliminate master cylinder squeak/noise.
• In the United States use GM P/N 19299818
• In Canada use GM P/N 19299819
Brakes — Performance Enhancement Systems
Brakes — Duralife™ Brake Rotors
The Silverado and Sierra have a TRW
EBC460 4-wheel disc brake antilock brake system (ABS) with Duralife™
brake rotors.
Duralife™ brake rotors – a GM-exclusive technology – feature a hardened and strengthened surface to reduce
corrosion. Duralife™ brake rotors are expected to last twice as long as conventional rotors and provide quieter
braking with less vibration.
The electronic brake control module and the brake pressure modulator are serviced separately. The brake pressure
modulator uses a four circuit configuration to control hydraulic pressure to each wheel independently.
Performance Enhancement Systems
Depending on options, the following additional vehicle performance enhancement systems are provided:
• Dynamic Rear Proportioning
• Hill Descent Control System — RPO JHD
• Hill Hold Start Assist
• Cornering Brake Control
• Hydraulic Brake Assist
• Optimized Hydraulic Braking System
• Intelligent Brake Assist
• Integrated Trailer Brake Control System — RPO JL1
• Trailer Sway Control
Dynamic Rear Proportioning
The dynamic rear proportioning is a control system that replaces the mechanical proportioning valve. Under certain
driving conditions the electronic brake control module (EBCM) will reduce the rear wheel brake pressure by
commanding the appropriate solenoid valves ON and OFF.
Hill Descent Control System
The hill descent control system allows a smooth and controlled hill descent in rough terrain without the driver
needing to touch the brake pedal. The vehicle will automatically decelerate to a low speed and remain at that speed
while activated. Some noise or vibration from the brake system may be apparent when the system is active. The
descent control system may be activated, if equipped, by pressing the button on the console. To activate, press the
button when traveling at speeds less than 30 mph (50 km/h). To deactivate, press the button on the console, the
brake pedal, or the accelerator. Descent control enables the vehicle to descend using the ABS to control each
wheel's speed. If the vehicle accelerates without driver input, the system automatically applies the brakes to slow the
vehicle down to the desired speed.
Hill Hold Start Assist
The hill hold start assist allows the driver to launch the vehicle without a roll back while moving the foot from the
brake pedal to the accelerator pedal. The EBCM calculates the brake pressure, which is needed to hold the vehicle
on an incline and locks that pressure for a certain time by commanding the appropriate solenoid valves ON and OFF
when the brake pedal is released. Hill hold start assist is activated when the EBCM determines that the driver wishes
to move the vehicle up-hill, either backwards or forwards.
Cornering Brake Control
Cornering brake control is a slip control function that is intended to improve the vehicle's lateral/yaw stability during
combined braking and cornering situations. The EBCM will reduce the brake pressure to the inside wheels by
commanding the appropriate solenoid valves ON and OFF.
Hydraulic Brake Assist
The hydraulic brake assist function is designed to support the driver in emergency braking situations. The EBCM
receives inputs from the brake pressure sensor. When the EBCM senses an emergency braking situation, the
electronic brake control module will actively increase the brake pressure to a specific maximum.
Optimized Hydraulic Braking System
With some engines the EBCM monitors the vacuum in the brake booster with a vacuum sensor and controls a brake
booster vacuum pump depending on vacuum sensor input. It also has a hydraulic brake boost feature which
supplements the brake system to maintain consistent brake performance under conditions of low brake booster
vacuum.
Low brake booster vacuum conditions can be caused by any of the following conditions: initial start up after the
vehicle has been parked for several hours, very frequent brake stops, or high altitude driving. The hydraulic brake
boost system activates only during a brake apply under low vacuum conditions. In this case the EBCM will actively
increase and control the hydraulic brake pressure by turning the pump motor ON and the appropriate solenoid
valves ON and OFF. When hydraulic brake boost is active, a series of rapid pulsations is felt in the brake pedal.
Intelligent Brake Assist
The intelligent brake assist function is designed to provide limited braking to help prevent front and rear low speed
collisions. The EBCM receives inputs from the brake pedal position sensor, wheel speed sensors, short range radar
and ultrasonic sensors to detect a collision. When the EBCM senses a possible collision, it will actively increase the
hydraulic brake pressure to apply the brakes.
Trailer Brake Control System
A trailer brake control system is used to control the amount of trailer braking power that is made available to trailers
with brakes that require a controlled output electrical signal for actuation. The trailer brake control system determines
the trailer brake system type, as either Electric Brake or Electric Over Hydraulic Brake automatically.
Trailer Sway Control
Trailer sway control will detect any vehicle yaw (rotation) instability, caused by an attached trailer. When instability
is detected, the EBCM attempts to correct the vehicle's yaw motion by applying brake pressure to one or more of the
wheels. The engine torque may be reduced also, if it is necessary to slow down the vehicle.
Body Features
Wheelhouse Liners
The new design wheelhouse liners are standard equipment on the front of the vehicle and are available on the rear.
The wheelhouse liners are created from a fiber.
This fiber design improves sound deadening and reduces interior cabin noise created from objects that would be
thrown against them by the tires from road debris. Typical road debris will not stick to these wheelhouse liners.
Anti-Chip Coating On Rockers
New to the 2014 Silverado and Sierra is an anti-chip coating on the rockers, designed to maintain vehicle
appearance by reducing paint chipping and the subsequent effects of corrosion.
HVAC — RPO CJ2 Only
Some customers may comment that they were in a HVAC mode other than defrost and the blower speed was
manually adjusted to the lowest setting. After selecting the defrost mode to clear the windows, the blower will ramp
up to high and they were unable to manually adjust the blower speed lower. This feature is intended to allow for the
fastest window clearing possible.
⇒ If the customer turns the blower knob lower to reduce blower speed it will not respond. However, if they first
adjust the blower speed higher, then they will be able to adjust the blower speed to a lower setting.
The system is operating as designed and no repairs should be attempted.
Electric Power Steering System
Electric Power Steering System
The belt driven electric power steering system consists of the following components:
• The integrated electromechanical power steering unit, containing the power steering control module, its
sensors, the power steering motor, a belt drive and a ball nut mechanism.
• The steering gear (rack and pinion).
The power steering control module is part of the power steering assist motor assembly and is replaceable as a
complete unit independent of the steering gear assembly. The torque sensor is integrated with the steering gear
pinion and is serviced as part of the steering gear.
The belt driven electric power steering system reduces the amount of effort needed to steer the vehicle utilizing the
power steering control module to control the power steering motor to maneuver the steering gear. The power
steering control module also uses a combination of the torque sensor, motor rotational sensor, battery voltage circuit
and serial data circuit to perform the system functions. The power steering control module monitors vehicle speed
and engine speed from the engine control module via the serial data circuit to determine the amount of steering
assist needed to steer the vehicle. At low speeds more assist is provided for easy turning during parking maneuvers.
At higher speeds less assist is provided for improved road feel and directional stability.
Serviceable Components
The following components are serviceable:
• Motor and controller subassembly
• Vehicle battery and signal wiring harness
• Torque sensor wire harness
• Outer tie rods are greaseable
• Inner tie rods
• Tie rod boots
• Tie rod adjustment nuts and boot clamps
Smooth Road Shake Compensation
The power steering control module has a software feature referred to as Smooth Road Shake Compensation that
reduces steering wheel vibration caused by an imbalance from the front tire/wheel assemblies. The vibration
transmitted to the steering wheel is referred to as Smooth Road Shake and is a phenomenon that occurs only at
highway speeds and on smooth roads. The power steering control module employs active controls to sense and
reduce the periodic torque component applied to the steering wheel caused by the wheel imbalance force. This
software feature will compensate for a specific range of imbalance. If the imbalance is above a certain level, the
power steering control module will disable the smooth road shake compensation and set a DTC C044B to indicate
that it has been disabled.
Steering Wheel Torque Lock — Turning the Ignition Key
Steering wheel torque lock, which makes it difficult to turn the ignition key can occur anytime the steering wheel is
not “Parked” in the straight ahead position when turning the ignition OFF. Apply pressure to the steering wheel in a
rotational direction to relieve the tension in order to turn the ignition key easily.
Steering Wheel Lead/Pull
At a constant highway speed on a typical straight road, lead/pull is the amount of effort required at the steering wheel
to maintain the vehicle’s straight path.
The electronic brake control module (EBCM) receives serial data message inputs from the steering wheel angle
sensor. The steering wheel angle sensor signal is used to calculate the intended driving direction and compensates
