A vehicle may come in for service due to the MIL being illuminated. The customer may also comment,
intermittently the engine has reduced power. The technician may find any combination of history or
current diagnostic trouble codes P0046, P0068, P007B, P00C7, P00E9, P0101, P0106, P0121, P012B,

P249D, P249E, P2598, P2599.
The cause of this concern may be due to a leak in the charge air cooler / induction systems.
Correction:
The technician should follow SI diagnostics. If no cause for the concern is found or during
diagnosis a leak check is required, power smoke diagnostic leak detector GE-52250 can be very
helpful in locating leaks.
NOTE: Do not use GE-52250 to diagnose EVAP system leaks due to the high pressure output this tool
produces.
GE-52250 has just been approved as an essential tool and will ship out to U.S. and Canada dealers
some time in the 3rd quarter of 2020.
This tool is currently available to U.S. dealers through the U.S. GM Tool Loaner Program.
The Canada dealer Tool Loaner Program does not have this tool available.
Bulletin 16-NA-158 outlines the U.S. dealer special tool loan program.

- 【Why Need It】For example: 1. The rupture of the vacuum hose will cause the mixture to be too thick, the idle speed will increase, the hot car will not start well, the engine will surge during acceleration, the fuel consumption will increase significantly, and the exhaust pipe will emit black smoke. 2. Blocking will cause the idle speed to drift, and the idle speed is easy to stall. 3. Air leakage in the vacuum tube will cause the engine to run weakly
- 【No Air Pump】Connect shop air supply, connect 12V vehicle power, introduce shop air to the AUTOOL SDT103 fuel leak tester, turn the Flow Dial anti-clockwise to open the air flow, switch on the power at the back of the unit, then AUTOOL SDT103 smoke machine automotive will start to generate smoke.
- 【External Flow Meter】You can easily control the air pressure, because the air pressure of each pipe in the car is different. If the air pressure is too high, the pipe will be damaged, and if the air pressure is too low, the leak will not be detected. Therefore, the flow meter is very important to protect your detection system more effectively. Make testing safer
- 【EVAP Detection】American cars that began production in 1996 are equipped with EVAP service ports; in most American cars, the EVAP service port is usually located in the engine compartment, but the EVAP service port of some special models may be located in other locations. Open the plastic cover of the EVAP service port, then use the spool wrench to remove the check valve clockwise, then install the EVAP service port adapter, and introduce smoke from the port into the EVAP leak detection system.
- 【Wide Testing Range】The smoke leak detector can do smoke testing of multiple systems, such as EVAP systems, Intake Systems, Cooling / EGR /Exhaust Systems, Crankcase Systems, Engine Airtightness, Vacuum Leaks, Low Pressure Turbo leaks.Applicable cars, motorcycles, snowmobiles, off-road vehicles, ATVs, light trucks and speedboats boats.
- 【Multifunction】Our automotive smoke machine can perform various tests such as: EVAP system test, car sealing test, fuel tank system test, exhaust system test, intake system test and various pipe fittings test, ect. It Could be used on all cars, motorcycles, snowmobiles, ATV, light trucks, boats, etc.
- 【Working Principle】 The automotive leak detector tool will change special oil(baby oil or mineral oil) into smoke, then blow smoke into sealed pipe system, you will find leak points in the pipe via the smoke. Please repair the part where leakage exists.
- 【Easy to Use】The automotive smoke tester comes with a hook allows you to hang it on your hood latch. Just add 20ml of baby oil or mineral oil, then connect the detector with the DC12V battery, it can output thick smoke within 20s after turning on, thick smoke output detects even the smallest leaks.
- 【Smart Protection】This smoke tester has overheat & freeze protection, the maximum temperature limit is 90°C, ture on antifreeze protection at a low temperature of -20°C. If it exceeds the working limit, such as over 90 ℃, it will automatically turn off the power to secure the safety of both the operator and device.
- 【Lightweight and Portable】Most car smoke machine are bulky and heavy, which is not conducive to the transportation and storage of the equipment, and is only suitable for repair shops.

- [Dual Mode] The smoke leak detector has air mode and smoke mode, two modes can be controlled independently. Air mode help you test whether there is a leak in the pipe by injecting air into the pipe, smoke mode help you lacate the leak accuarately. It can output thick smoke within 20s after turning on, thick smoke output detects even the smallest leaks.
- [with Pressure Gauge] The smoke tester automotive has a pressure gauge, by observing the pressure gauge, you can determine whether the pipeline is leaking more quickly and accurately. Usually the pressure gauge value continues to rise, indicating that there is no problem with the pipeline. If the pressure gauge value continues to decrease, Explain that the pipeline leak needs to be repaired.
- [Built-in Air Pump] Solary SD302 smoke machine leak detector has its own air pump and smoke generator, no need to buy additional air machines.
