Summary

This bulletin provides information for electrical ground repairs using new General Motors replacement fasteners with conductive finish.

 

 


Electrical Ground Repair Overview

Proper electrical system function relies on secure, stable and corrosion-free electrical ground connections. Loose, stripped, or corroded connections increase the possibility of improper system function and loss of module communication. These conditions may also lead to unnecessary repairs and component replacement.

In general, electrical ground connections are accomplished using one, or a combination of the following attachment methods:

  • Welded M6 stud and nut
  • Welded M6 nut and bolt
  • Welded M8 nut and bolt

Determine which attachment method is used and perform the appropriate or alternative repair as described in this bulletin.
