Condition
Some customers may comment on black smoke, rough idle, and minimal misfires on cold start.
Some customers may also state that the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is not illuminated.
Information
With the introduction of direct fuel injection systems, GM has revised the cold start control system to reduce cold start emissions. Quicker catalytic converter heating helps meet the ever-changing emission requirements and improve fuel economy.

Condition

start.
Some customers may also state that the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is not
illuminated.
Information
With the introduction of direct fuel injection systems, GM has revised the cold start control
system to reduce cold start emissions. Quicker catalytic converter heating helps meet the
ever-changing emission requirements and improve fuel economy.
Additional Information
A dual-pulse injection strategy is utilized during engine
cold start to reduce the time required to bring the
catalytic converter up to operating temperature. This
dual-pulse injection strategy lasts for about 60 seconds
on cold start.
This process will cause the customer to see increased
black smoke, soot, rough idle, or minimal misfires
during cold start and should be considered normal.
To verify that the dual-pulse injection is causing the
roughness or misfires with no codes set, you should
watch injector pulse width with the scan tool during the
concern. Dual pulse injector pulse width will be nearly
double that of normal idle. After 20 seconds the pulse
width will drop by about 50% and the engine idle will
smooth out. This is considered normal operation and no
repairs should be attempted.
This cold start strategy is enabled upon start up after
the engine has soaked for sufficient time such that the
catalytic converter requires rapid reactivation.
The high-pressure fuel pump test will run either as soon
as the dual pulse injection is completed, or during the
first stop after the engine is warmed up above about
155°F (68°C). This can feel like a slight idle roughness
as the high-pressure fuel pump is commanded to max
pressure and then shut off to measure pressure decay.
Note: The use of TOP TIER fuels lessens the rough
idle condition effects during dual pulse injection and the
fuel pump test by reducing the amount of carbon on
valve train components and a more complete
combustion leading to cleaner burn. Refer to the latest
version of Service Bulletin #05-06-04-022 — TOP TIER
Detergent Gasoline and TOP TIER Diesel Fuel
Information and Licensed Brands.

All of these concerns are considered normal and no
repair attempts should be made.
