THIS CONDITION WILL NOT BE PRESENT IN PARK, OR NEUTRAL. THIS CONCERN MAY BE CAUSED BY GROUND OUT WITHIN THE ONE OR BOTH ENGINE MOUNTS. TECHNICIAN WILL USE CH-51450-A (PICO OSCILLOSCOPE) TO MEASURE THE VIBRATION DISTURBANCE. IF THE VIBRATION CONCERN IS E1.5 IN THE HORIZONTAL / LATERAL DIRECTION WITH PICO SENSOR MOUNTED IN SEAT TRACK AS INDICATED CONTINUE WITH STEPS TO REDUCE THE AMPLITUDE OF THE VIBRATION BY ADDING SPACERS IN KEY LOCATIONS TO REDUCE GROUND OUT WITHIN THE ENGINE MOUNTS. THE 6.2L ENGINE HAS A CHARACTERISTIC E1 WHICH CAN BE FELT, AND MAY BE DESCRIBED AS A LOPEY IDLE. DO NOT CONFUSE 6.2L E1 CHARACTERISTIC (NOT CAUSED BY MOUNT GROUND-OUT), WITH E1.5 NORMAL IDLE CHARACTERISTICS BEING TRANSMITTED INTO THE TRUCK VIA GROUND-OUT THRU THE ENGINE MOUNTS. IF MEASURING HIGH AT THE SEAT TRACK 12 MG OR GREATER; REPLACEMENT OF THE ENGINE MOUNTS SHOULD HELP REDUCE THE AMPLITUDE OF THE VIBRATION. IF THE DISTURBANCE MEASURES AT THE SEAT TRACK AS E1.5 LATERAL IN THE RANGE OF APPROXIMATELY 2.5 - 8 MG USING A TRI-AXIS SENSOR. THEN PLACE TRI-AXIS PICO SENSOR ON THE INBOARD SEAT TRACK FORWARD-MOST LOCATION TO RECORD MEASUREMENT OF THE ROUGH IDLE VIBRATION CONCERN. WITH THE HEATER-VENT-AIR CONDITIONING ON PERFORM SEVERAL SHORT HEAVY LAUNCH EVENTS FROM STOP TO STOP TO BRING THE TEMPERATURES BACK UP WHILE ATTEMPTING TO RE-CREATE THE ROUGH IDLE VIBRATION IN DRIVE WITH PICO SENSOR PLACED ON INBOARD SEAT TRACK; WHILE THE VIBRATION IS ACTIVE RECORD PICO READING. THIS METHOD SEEMS TO PROVIDE BETTER RESULTS THAN EXTENDED TEST DRIVES. IF THE PICO READING FOR E1.5, WITH VIBRATION ACTIVE, AT SPECIFIED SEAT TRACK LOCATION MEASURES CLOSE TO 2MG OR LESS USE SERVICE INFORMATION TO DIAGNOSE ROUGH IDLE / VIBRATION.

Summary15801A - Customer Satisfaction Program. This bulletin is being revised to add a note at the beginning of the Service Information section. The 2016 model year GMC Sierra HD vehicle, and an increase in population has also been added. Vehicles equipped with Duramax Diesel Engine (RPO LGH or LML) and Ambulance Upfitter or Fire Truck Upfitter (RPO YF2 or ANM), may have a condition in which the emission control system as designed will limit speed under certain conditions. The EPA has approved General Motor?s request to remove the emission control system speed limitations on these emergency vehicles where applicable. Dealers are to reprogram the Engine Control Module (ECM) with new calibration for emergency vehicles, which will remove the emission control system speed limitations, and also provide an earlier warning for Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) regeneration.
