Service Bulletin
SERVICE UPDATE
SUBJECT:

Service Update for Inventory and Customer Vehicles
Excessive Wiring Harness Length
Expires with Base Warranty

MODELS:

2015 Chevrolet Colorado
2015 GMC Canyon
Equipped with 3.6L V6 Engine (RPO LFX)

This bulletin is being revised to update Step 1 of the Repair Procedure in the Service Procedure
section. Please discard all copies of bulletin 15671.
This service update includes vehicles in dealer inventory and customer vehicles that return to the
dealership for any reason. This bulletin will expire at the end of the involved vehicle's New Vehicle
Limited Warranty period.
PURPOSE
This bulletin provides a service procedure to reposition the main body wiring harness branch
located in the engine compartment on certain 2015 model year Chevrolet Colorado and GMC
Canyon vehicles equipped with 3.6L DOHC V6 engine (RPO LFX). If the harness is not routed
properly, the engine may not start, have reduced power, shut off or stall while driving. This
condition could have other effects, including the Center High Mount Stop Lamp (CHMSL), turn
signal lights or headlights becoming inoperative.
This service procedure should be completed as soon as possible on involved vehicles
currently in dealer inventory and customer vehicles that return to the dealer for any type
of service during the New Vehicle Limited Warranty coverage period.
VEHICLES INVOLVED
All involved vehicles are identified by VIN in the Global Warranty Management System –
Investigate Vehicle History Application. Dealership technicians should always check this site to
confirm vehicle involvement prior to beginning any required inspections and/or repairs. It is
important to routinely use this tool to verify eligibility because not all similar vehicles may be
involved regardless of description or option content.
Additionally, a list of involved vehicles currently in dealer inventory can be found in GlobalConnect,
under Departments, Service, Field Action Inventory Reports (US) or attached to the
GlobalConnect message (Canada) used to release this bulletin. Customer vehicles that return for
service, for any reason, and are still covered under the vehicle's base warranty should also be
checked for vehicle eligibility.

DEALER PROGRAM RESPONSIBILITY
Whenever a vehicle subject to this service update enters your vehicle inventory, or is in your facility
for service in the future, and the vehicle is still covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty,
you must take the steps necessary to be sure the service update correction has been made before
selling or releasing the vehicle.

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 service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the tools,
equipment, 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 vehicle will have that condition. See your dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
