SUBJECT: MODIFICATION OF DIAGNOSTIC ROUTINE ON THE CLARK BROS., KENT-MOORE AND SPECMO CRUISE CONTROL "QUICK CHECKERS"
MODELS AFFECTED: 1984, 1985, 1986
Following is an explanation of both the present and revised diagnostic sequences.
PRESENT DIAGNOSTIC SEQUENCE:
The existing diagnostic test procedure (see figure 1) listed on the reverse side of these "Quick Checkers" includes five troubleshooting steps.. Each step provides a reliable indication--by the illumination of a light--of the electrical continuity of specific components in the cruise control system. A large number of GM Dealership service personnel are under the misunderstanding that these same five steps, also, verify the condition of the cruise vacuum system. This is not the case. To clear up this mistaken assumption, an essential addition has been incorporated in the existing test procedure:
REVISED DIAGNOSTIC SEQUENCE:
Besides the listed 5 steps, a sixth one (see figure 2) has been added. This step allows the technician to check the cruise system vacuum integrity from the accumulator tank through the vacuum servo.
To obtain the new diagnostic stickers, contact your Zone office or District Service Manager. Place the sticker over the one presently on the "Quick Checker." If additional stickers are needed in the future, contact:
