CTS Sedan AWD V6-3.0L (2010)
Remove the battery access door to gain access to the rear fuse block. Proceed with the following steps:
1. Identify which design bolt the connector has and tighten appropriately per the above instructions. The first design will click with each revolution
once it is fully seated. The second design must not be torqued beyond 4 +/- 1 Nm (35.4 lb in).
Important
Ensure that the connector is fully seated to the fuse block.
2. To ensure that the connector is fully seated, press both ends of the connector at the same time into the fuse block until you feel it stop.
3. Measure the connector in the location shown above to ensure it is fully seated into the fuse block. The measurement should be less than 9 mm
(0.35 in) and equal front to rear. Measure the connector engagement between the edge of the fuse block (1) and the edge of the black connector
(2). The dimension must be less than 9 mm (0.35 in). If it is not, press the connector into fuse block and take the measurement again.
Note
The connector may spring back slightly or rock slightly end to end. Getting the connector evenly engaged and below the 9 mm (0.35 in) dimension
ensures reliable electrical function.
4. Recheck the system(s) operation. If the system(s) is now functioning properly, the repair is complete. If it is not, recheck the connector
measurement found in Step 3. If it will not press in below 9 mm (0.35 in), and the condition is still present, replace the fuse block. Refer to Wiring
Systems and Power Management in SI. If the measurement is good (below 9 mm (0.35 in)), refer to published diagnosis and repairs in SI to
correct the concern.
Note
If all the steps above are completed and the condition is still present, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 08-08-44-019D.
