Avalanche 4WD V8-5.3L (2011)
Danger: This procedure should not be performed on high voltage circuits. Performing this procedure on high voltage circuits may result in
serious injury or death.
Caution: Do not insert test equipment probes (DMM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most
terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the EL-38125-580 GM Approved
Terminal Release Tool Kit in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals.
When using the EL-38125-580 GM Approved Terminal Release Tool Kit , ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector
terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the
cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the EL-38125-580 GM Approved Terminal Release Tool Kit label on the
inside of the EL-38125-580 GM Approved Terminal Release Tool Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size.

Note: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged.
The EL 35616-20F - Fused Jumper Wire includes banana jack connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper
wire is supplied with a 20 A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit
being tested.
