Circuit/System Verification

2022 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT, 6.2L Eng VIN LSECTION Circuit/System Verification
  1. Ignition "OFF", measure and record the battery voltage at the battery terminals.
  2. Verify the battery voltage stabilizes between 12.4 V and 12.8 V within a few minutes of ignition "OFF".
    • Go to next step: If battery voltage is between 12.4 V and 12.8 V 
  3. Vehicle in Propulsion Mode, headlights ON, measure and record the battery voltage at the battery terminals.
  4. Verify the voltage is at least 1 V greater than the voltage measured in step 1, but less than 15 V.
    • If the voltage is not at least 1 V greater than the voltage measured in step 1 or is greater than 15 V 

      Refer to Charging System Test .

    • Go to next step: If the voltage is at least 1 V greater than the voltage measured in step 1, but less than 15 V 
  5. Verify the appropriate control module battery voltage and ignition voltage parameters are available in the scan tool.
    • If parameters are not available in the scan tool 

      Refer to "Circuit/System Testing".

    • Go to next step: If parameters are available in the scan tool 
  6. Verify the appropriate control module scan tool battery voltage and ignition voltage parameters are within 1 V of the battery voltage.
    • If not within 1 V of the battery voltage 

      Refer to "Circuit/System Testing".

    • Go to next step: If within 1 V of the battery voltage 
  7. The condition may be an intermittent fault and is not currently present.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
