Lighting - Exterior Lamp Condensation and Replacement
INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 01-08-42-001H
Date: January 05, 2011
Subject: Exterior Lamp Condensation and Replacement Guidelines
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (including Saturn)
Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 01-08-42-001G (Section 08 - Body and
Accessories).
The following information is being provided to better define the causes of condensation in exterior lamps and includes guidelines for determining the
difference between a lamp with a normal atmospheric condition (condensation) and a lamp with a water leak.
Some exterior lamps, such as cornering, turn signal, backup, headlamps or tail lamps may exhibit very small droplets of water, a fine mist or white
fog (condensation) on the inside of the lamp lens. This may be more noticeable on lamps with "multi-lens" designs and may be normal during certain
weather conditions.
Condensation occurs when the air inside the lamp assembly, through atmospheric changes, reaches the "dew point". When this takes place, the
moisture in the air within the lamp assembly condenses, creating a fine mist or white fog on the inside surface of the lamp lens.
Most exterior lamps on General Motors vehicles use a vented design and feature a replaceable bulb assembly. They are designed to remove any
accumulated moisture vapor by expelling it through a vent system. The vent system operates at all times, however, it is most effective when the
lamps are ON or when the vehicle is in motion. Depending on the size, shape and location of the lamp on the vehicle, and the atmospheric conditions
occurring, the amount of time required to clear the lamp may vary from 2 to 6 hours.
Completely sealed headlamp assemblies (sealed beams) are still used on a limited number of models being manufactured today. These lamps require
the replacement of the complete lamp assembly if a bulb filament burns out.
Condensation
2006 TrailBlazer Shown
2016 GMC Truck Acadia AWD V6-3.6L Page 166
A Fine Mist or White Fog on the Inside Surface of the Lamp Lens Occurring After a Period of High Humidity

May be located primarily in the lens corners (near the vents) and SHOULD NOT cover more than half the lens surface.

The condition should clear of moisture when the vehicle is parked in a dry environment, or when the vehicle is driven with the lights ON.

A comparison of the equivalent lamp on the opposing side of the vehicle indicates a SIMILAR performance.

If the above conditions are noted, the customer should be advised that replacement of a lamp assembly may not correct this condition.
Water Leak
New Style Pickup Shown
Numerous & Various Size Drops of Water Collecting on the Inside Surface of the Lamp Lens After the Vehicle Has Been Exposed to Rain
or a Car Washing Environment

A condition that covers more than half the surface of the lamp lens.

An accumulation of water in the bottom of the lamp assembly.

A condition that WON'T clear when the vehicle is parked in a dry environment, or when the vehicle is driven with the lights ON.

A comparison of the equivalent lamp on the opposing side of the vehicle indicates a different performance.

Any of the above conditions would indicate the need to service the lens or lamp assembly.

Electrical Ground Repair Overview
2016 GMC Truck Acadia AWD V6-3.6L Page 348
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.
M6 Weld Stud Replacement
Caution
Use only the GM-approved replacement fasteners with conductive finish for electrical ground repair.
1. Select a location adjacent the damaged or missing M6 ground stud having 20 mm (0.79 in) clearance behind the panel surface and 20 mm
(0.79 in) clearance surrounding the M6 conductive rivet stud flange.
2. Using GM approved residue-free solvent or equivalent, remove any grease from the repair site and allow to dry.
Note
Ensure 20 mm (0.79 in) clearance is maintained behind the panel to be drilled.

Drill a 10 mm (0.40 in) diameter hole through the panel.

Remove paint and primer from the area surrounding the 10 mm (0.40 in) hole until bare metal is visible.

Important
The M6 conductive rivet stud as shown, can accommodate a panel thickness range of 0.7-4.2 mm (0.03-0.17 in). If there are layers of
sheet metal, they should be touching without any air gaps to ensure a good ground.
5. Select a M6 conductive rivet stud. Refer to the Parts Information section of this bulletin.

When resurfacing a brake rotor or drum, the ORIGINAL thickness (measured thickness before refinish) and REFINISHED thickness (measured
thickness after refinish) MUST be written/documented on the repair order hard copy for each rotor serviced. If a rotor replacement is necessary, only
the original thickness measurement needs to be recorded.
Repair Order Documentation - Explanation of Part Replacement - REQUIRED
If replacement of a brake component is necessary, proper documentation on the repair order is required. See the following examples:
^ Brake rotor replacement - Customer comment was brake pulsation. Rotor was refinished on a prior brake service. After rotor measurement, it
was determined that refinishing the rotor again would take it under the Minimum Thickness specification.
^ Brake pad replacement - Customer comment was brake squeak noise. On inspection, found pads contaminated by fluid leak at caliper.

WORKSHEET - BRAKE LATHE CALIBRATION
Important
Brake lathe calibration should be performed and recorded monthly or if you are consistently measuring high LRO after rotor refinishing.
Disclaimer
GM Brake Service Procedure
GM BRAKE SERVICE PROCEDURE

Remove the wheel and caliper.

Measure rotor thickness. In order to determine if the rotor can be refinished, do the following steps:

Important
If performing routine Brake Service for worn pads only, and the rotors are not damaged and measure within specification - DO NOT
REFINISH ROTORS.

Remove the rotor(s).

Measure the rotor for original thickness using a brake micrometer. Multiple measure points should be taken and the lowest measurement

2016 GMC Truck Acadia AWD V6-3.6L Page 191
should be recorded.
3. Reference the Minimum Thickness specification stamped on the backside of the rotor or SI for Minimum Thickness specification/other. In
most cases, the rotor should be refinished unless the measurement taken makes it obvious that refinishing the rotor would take the
measurement under the Minimum Thickness specification (then replacement is necessary). DO NOT use any other manufacturers rotor
specifications.
3. ***Record the lowest ORIGINAL rotor thickness measurement on the repair order hard copy as noted in the "Repair Order Documentation -
Rotor Refinish" section of this bulletin.
4. Clean all of the mating surfaces between the hub, the rotor and the wheel using the J 42450A - Wheel Hub Cleaning Kit and J 41013 - Whiz
Wheel(R).
If rotors are not to be refinished - Go To Step 8.
Important
Cleaning all mating surfaces and making them free of corrosion, burrs and other debris (which includes removal of Hubless rotors) is
critical and MUST be performed whether using an On-Car or Bench Lathe Refinish Procedure.
5. Be sure to follow the appropriate refinishing procedure listed below for the type of lathe you are using.
Important
Only replace the rotors if they do not meet the Minimum Thickness specification.
Important
DO NOT REFINISH NEW ROTORS.
Important
Only remove the necessary amount of material from each side of the rotor and note that equal amounts of material do not have to be removed
from both sides on any brake system using a floating caliper.
Important
Prior to making the cut, install the recommended clip-on style disc silencer supplied with the lathe. Use of this silencer is critical to prevent
chatter from occurring during the cut.
Bench Type Lathe

Refinish the existing rotor on an approved, well-maintained lathe to guarantee smooth, flat and parallel surfaces.

Check for clean and true lathe adapters and make sure the arbor shoulder is clean and free of debris or burrs. For more information, see the

"Brake Lathe Calibration Procedure (Bench-Type)" section in this bulletin.
3. On the outboard area of the rotor, position the cutting tools one eighth of an inch into the brake pad area of the rotor. Feed the cutting tools
into the rotor until they cut the rotor to new metal, a full 360 degrees. Zero each dial and back off a full turn
4. Move the cutting bits to the middle of the rotor and do the same procedure. If zero is passed during the process, reset zero. Back off a full
turn.
5. Position the cutting bits one eighth of an inch inside the inboard (closest to the hub) edge of the brake pad contact area. Do the same
procedure. If zero is passed during the process, reset zero.
6. Back off a full turn and position the cutting bits all the way inboard in preparation to refinish the full rotor surface. Advance both tool cutters
to the zero setting plus just enough to clean up the entire rotor surface.
7. After completing the refinish, sand both sides of the rotor for approximately one minute per side using a sanding block and 130-150 grit
sandpaper to obtain a non-directional finish.
On-Car Type Lathe
1. Reinstall the rotor(s).
Important
When using the On-Car lathe on vehicles equipped with limited slip (or posi-trac) rear system, it is critical that the rear drive shaft is
disconnected/disengaged prior to operation of the On-Car lathe. Remember to mark and re-index the drive shaft correctly on re-assembly
to prevent creating driveline vibration. Whenever the lathe drive motor is being switched on, the operator MUST keep their body out of
the wheel well area until the machine has reached its normal operating RPM.
2. Refinish the existing rotor on an approved, well-maintained lathe to guarantee smooth, flat and parallel surfaces.
Important
2016 GMC Truck Acadia AWD V6-3.6L Page 192
When raising the vehicle on the lift, be sure to have it at a good working height (waist high is average) to accommodate mounting the
On-Car lathe. Optimally, the center piston on the lathe trolley will be mid-travel. If the lathe trolley center piston is completely compressed
(bottoming out) or inversely fully extended and hanging off the vehicle hub, this could affect the calibration time of the lathe.
3. Select the correct adapter for the vehicle you're working on and mount it to the hub with the vehicle lug nuts. Hand tighten 34-41 Nm
(25-30 lb ft) the nuts using equal torque. DO NOT use impact wrenches, excessive torque will damage the adapter.
Important
Ensure the adapter sits flush on the rotor hat surface. Be sure to remove any rust, rotor retaining clips, etc. that may preclude the adapter
from sitting flat on the mounting surface.

Connect the lathe to the adapter, turn on the lathe and activate the computer to compensate for run-out in the hub.

Once the computer indicates the compensation process was successful, on the outboard area of the rotor, position the cutting tools one

eighth of an inch into the brake pad area of the rotor. Feed the cutting tools into the rotor until they cut the rotor to new metal, a full 360
degrees. Zero each dial and back off a full turn.
6. Move the cutting bits to the middle of the rotor and do the same procedure. If zero is passed during the process, reset zero. Back off a full
turn.
7. Position the cutting bits one eighth of an inch inside the inboard (closest to the hub) edge of the brake pad contact area. Do the same
procedure. If zero is passed during the process, reset zero.
8. Back off a full turn and position the cutting bits all the way inboard in preparation to refinish the full rotor surface. Advance both tool
cutters to the zero setting plus just enough to clean up the entire rotor surface.
9. After completing the refinish, sand both sides of the rotor for approximately one minute per side using a sanding block and 130-150 grit
sandpaper to obtain a non-directional finish.
10. Dismount the lathe, but leave the lathe adapter attached to the vehicle.
6. Once the rotor has been properly machined, wash the rotor with soap and water (use a mild dish washing soap) or wipe it clean with GM
approved brake cleaner, P/N 88862650 (Canadian P/N 88901247).
Important
Thoroughly cleaning the rotor will prevent the possible transfer of finite metal dust left as a by-product of machining to the pad material
during the seating process, thus reducing the opportunity for squeaks or other noises to occur.
7. ***Record the REFINISHED rotor thickness measurement on the repair order hard copy. Refer to the "Repair Order Documentation - Rotor
Refinish" section of this bulletin.
8. Setting up to measure for Lateral Run Out (LRO):
Important
Measuring for Lateral Run Out (LRO) (steps 8 - 15) is no longer required however, these steps are being left in the overall procedure as a
good check to be performed in the case of a repeat pulsation complaint. If you are not checking for LRO, go to step 16.
Bench-Type Lathe

Ensure that the mating surfaces of the rotor hat section and the hub mating surface are clean and free of debris.

Mount the new, original or refinished rotor onto the vehicle hub.

Important
Always hold the rotor on the bottom half so any debris that may be dislodged from the vents will fall out instead of falling into the
mounting area. Any movement or jarring from the rotor falling over on the studs can release rust from the vents on the rotor.

Tilt the top of the rotor in towards the vehicle so you can see the studs and ease the rotor onto the studs.

Slide the rotor all the way to the hub and hold it in place until you have placed one of the conical washers (with the tapered hole side

facing out) and run the first lug nut up tight by hand so the rotor doesn't move when you release it.

Place the conical washers on the rest of the studs (with the tapered hole side facing out), start and snug the lug nuts by hand.

Using the one half inch drive impact wrench and a torque stick (J 39544) or equivalent, start with the lug nut opposite of the one you first

tightened by hand and tighten the lug nuts using a star pattern until they touch the hub but do not completely torque. Then again, starting
with the first lug nut you tightened by hand, tighten all the lug nuts in a star pattern to the specific vehicle torque specification.
7. DO NOT reinstall the caliper or the wheel at this time.
2016 GMC Truck Acadia AWD V6-3.6L Page 193
On-Car Type Lathe

Leave the On-Car adapter on the wheel.

Proceed to Step 9.

Fasten the dial indicator to the steering knuckle so that the indicator needle contacts the rotor outboard friction surface approximately 6.35 mm

(0.25 in) from the rotor's outer edge. The stylus should be perpendicular to the friction surface of the rotor.
Important
Make sure the dial indicator needle tip is screwed tight, a loose tip could cause false readings.
10. Measure for LRO. Follow the procedure below to determine if the LRO is within specification (0.050 mm (0.002 in) or LESS).

Rotate the rotor and locate the point on the rotor where the lowest dial indicator reading is indicated and set the dial indicator to zero.

Rotate the rotor from the low point and locate the point with the highest dial indicator reading (rotor "high spot"). Note the amount and

mark the location of the "high spot" on the rotor and mark the closest wheel stud relative to this location. If the high point falls between
two studs, mark both studs. In instances where the vehicle has "capped lug nuts" you should mark the hub.
11. If the Lateral Run Out (LRO) measurement is 0.050 mm (0.002 in) or LESS, no correction is necessary. Go to Step 15 if this is the first rotor
completed. Go to Step 16 if this is the second rotor completed. If the LRO is GREATER than 0.050 mm (0.002 in), go to Step 12.
12. If the LRO measurement is greater than 0.050 mm (0.002 in), use the following procedure to correct for LRO:
Important
If the LRO measurement is over 0.279 mm (0.011 in), determine the source or cause of the LRO and correct it (i.e. verify drive axle nut torque
specification, refinished rotor is source of LRO due to a lathe qualification issue - see "Brake Lathe Calibration Procedure").
Hubless Rotor
1. Remove the rotor and using the Brake Align(R) application chart (found in TSB 01-05-23-001B), choose the correct plate to bring the
rotor LRO to 0.050 mm (0.002 in) or less. The plates come in 0.0762 mm (0.003 in), 0.1524 mm (0.006 in) and 0.2286 (0.009 in)
compensation. For more information on proper plate selection, see the instruction video/DVD included in the "Brake Align(R)" kit or TSB
01-05-23-001B.
2. Align the V-notch of the selected Brake Align(R) correction plate to the marked wheel stud ("high spot") or between the two points
marked (if the "high spot" is between two wheel studs).
Important
IF Brake Align(R) Correction Plates are not available for the vehicle being serviced, refer to SI Document - Brake Rotor Assembled
Lateral Runout Correction for correcting LRO.
Important
Per Brake Align(R) manufacturer, NEVER attempt to stack two or more Correction Plates together on one hub. NEVER attempt to reuse a
previously installed Correction Plate.
3. Reinstall the rotor using the same method and precautions as the first time - found in Step 8. Make sure to index the rotor correctly to the
marks made in step 10, otherwise LRO will be comprised.
Hubbed / Captured / Trapped Rotor

Measure the rotor thickness.

Refinish or replace the rotor (see Service Information for further details).

. Use a Dial Indicator to measure the rotor to verify the LRO is within specification.

. If using,

BENCH LATHE - DO NOT remove conical washers and lug nuts at this time.
ON-CAR LATHE - You must remove adapter and install conical washers and lug nuts to retain rotor position.
Important
For Hubless rotor design, while removing the adapter, you must hold the rotor tight to the hub and install the top conical washer and lug nut
first to ensure no debris falls between the surface while removing the adapter. Then, install the remaining conical washers and lug nuts.
Otherwise, LRO will be comprised.
2016 GMC Truck Acadia AWD V6-3.6L Page 194

Perform Steps 1 through 7 on the opposite side of the vehicle (steps 1-12, if performing LRO).

. Reinstall the rotors on both sides of the vehicle and perform the following steps:

Reinstall the calipers and pads.

Pump the brakes to pressurize the calipers.

Remove the lug nuts/conical washers.

Install and properly torque the wheels.

Important
It is critical to follow the star pattern wheel torque procedure and use the proper tools (torque stick or torque wrench) as referenced in SI.
17. Road test the vehicle to verify the repairs.
Brake Lathe Calibration Procedure
BRAKE LATHE CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
Calibration of the brake lathe should be performed and recorded monthly or whenever post-service brake rotor LRO measurements are consistently
reading above specification.
BENCH-TYPE LATHE
Use the following procedure to calibrate a Bench-type brake lathe:

After refinishing a rotor, loosen the arbor nut and while holding the inside bell clamp to keep it from rotating, rotate the rotor 180 degrees.

Retighten the arbor nut and set the dial indicator on the rotor using the same instructions as checking the run out on the vehicle.

Rotate the arbor and read the runout.

Divide the reading by two and this will give you the amount of runout the lathe is cutting into the rotor.

Important
If there is any runout, you will need to machine the inside bell clamp in place on the lathe (this procedure is for a Bench type lathe ONLY, DO
NOT machine inside the bell clamp on an On-Car type lathe).
Machining the Inside Bell Clamp (Bench Type Lathe Only)
Any nicks or burrs on the shoulder of the arbor must be removed. An 80-grit stone can be used to accomplish this. Spray WD-40(R) on the shoulder
and with the lathe running, hold the stone flat against the shoulder surface using slight pressure. When the burrs are gone, clean the surface. Burrs
must also be removed from the hub of the inside bell clamp. This can be accomplished with the stone and WD-40(R). Keep the stone flat on the hub
while removing the burrs. After removing the burrs, clean the hub.
Place the bell clamp on the arbor of the lathe and use the small radius adapters first and then spacers to allow you to tighten the arbor nut to secure
the bell clamp to the lathe. Position the tool bit in the left hand of the rotor truer so you can machine the face of the bell clamp. Machine the face of
the bell clamp taking just enough off of it to cut the full face of the clamp the full 360 degrees. Before you loosen the arbor nut, match mark the hub
of the bell clamp to the arbor and line up these marks before machining a rotor. A magic marker can be used to make the match marks. Machine a
rotor and recheck the calibration. Repeat this procedure on all Inside Bell Clamps used.
Important
If runout is still present, contact the brake lathe supplier.
ON-CAR TYPE LATHE
Use the following procedure to calibrate an On-Car brake lathe:

Connect the lathe to a vehicle using the appropriate adapter.

Attach a vise-grip dial indicator to a fixed point in the wheel well and bring the dial indicator to a flat surface on the cutting head.

Turn on the lathe and press the "start" button so the lathe begins to compensate.

Once compensation is complete, note the runout as measured by the dial indicator. Measured runout at this point is overstated given that it is

outside the rotor diameter.
2016 GMC Truck Acadia AWD V6-3.6L Page 195
5. If runout is in excess of 0.1016 mm (0.004 in) (0.050 mm (0.002 in) as measured within the rotor diameter), calibration must be tightened.
Follow manufacturer's instructions for tightening the calibration of the lathe. This information is found in the manual supplied with the lathe.
Important
If the machine is taking a long time to compensate during normal use, prior to checking the lathe calibration, it is recommended that the
machine be disconnected from the adapter and the adapter (still connected to the vehicle) is rotated 180 degrees and the machine reattached.
This will accomplish two things: - It will re-verify the machine is properly attached to the adapter. - It will change the location of the runout
(phase) relative to the machine and thus possibly allow for quick compensation as a result of the position change.
The following information has been added as a reference to ensure your Pro-Cut PFM lathe provides a consistent smooth surface finish over long
term usage.
Cutting Tips / Depth of Cut / Tip Life
The cutting tips must be right side up. Reference marks always face up. The cutting tips may not have chips or dings in the surface of the points. Cuts
of 0.1016-0.381 mm (0.004-0.015 in) will provide the best surface finish and the optimal tip life. When cleaning or rotating the cutting bits, make
sure that the seat area for the tip on the tool is free and clear of debris.
Cutting Head
On each brake job, the technician must center the cutting head for that particular vehicle using one of the mounting bolt holes on the slide plate.
Once the head is centered, it is vital that the technician use one hand to push the head firmly and squarely back into the dovetail on the slide plate
while using the other hand to tighten the Allen-Hex bolt that secures the head. Failure to do this could result in chatter occurring during the cut.
Tool Holder Plate (Cutting Head)
The tool holder plate is the plate that the cutting arms are attached to. It can bend or break if a technician accidently runs the cutting arms into the
hub of the rotor while the rotor is turning. (Cuts of more than 0.508 mm (0.020 in) can also bend this plate). Once bent, the lathe will most likely not
cut properly until the tool holder plate is replaced. In order to verify the condition of the tool holder plate on a machine that will not cut right,
remove the mounting bolt and remove the cutting head from the slide plate. With the cutting head titled at an angle, lay the long edge of the tool
holder plate down on the flat part of the slide plate. If any gap can be seen between the edge and the slide plate, the tool holder plate is bent and the
source of vibration. Also check to ensure that the cutting arms are lying flat on the upper side of the tool holder plate. If the mounting arm post is
bent, it will show itself by having the back of the cutting arm lifting off the surface of the tool holder.
Gib Adjustment / Loose Gib
As wear occurs between the slide plate and the box it rides on, you must take up the slack. You do this by way of a moveable wedge, which we call
the gib. Your lathe manual details adjustment process, which you should perform when required after monthly checks or whenever surface finish is
inconsistent.
Brake Pulsation
BRAKE PULSATION
Brake pulsation is caused by brake rotor thickness variation. Brake rotor thickness variation causes the piston in the brake caliper, when applied, to
"pump" in and out of the caliper housing. The "pumping" effect is transmitted hydraulically to the brake pedal. Brake pulsation concerns may result
from two basic conditions:
1. Thickness Variation Pulsation is Caused by Lateral Run Out (LRO). LRO on a brake corner assembly is virtually undetectable unless
measured (with a dial indicator after the brake service) and will not be detected as brake pulsation during an after brake service test drive. If
the brake corner is assembled with excessive LRO (greater than 0.050 mm (0.002 in), thickness variation will develop on the brake rotor over
time and miles. Excessive LRO will cause the brake pads to wear the brake rotors unevenly, which causes rotor thickness variation. Pulsation
that is the result of excessive Lateral Run Out usually develops in 4,800-16,000 km (3,000-10,000 mi). The more excessive the LRO, the
faster the pulsation will develop. LRO can also be induced when uneven torque is applied to wheel nuts (lug nuts). Improper wheel tightening
after tire rotation, spare tire usage, brake inspection, etc. can be the cause of brake pulsation. Again, it usually takes 4,800-16,000 km
(3,000-10,000 mi) AFTER the service event for the condition to develop. The customer does not usually make the connection between the
service event and the awareness of the pulsation. The proper usage of torque wrenches and/or torque sticks (torque limiting sockets) will
greatly reduce or eliminate the pulsation conditions after wheel service events. The improper use of impact wrenches on wheel nuts greatly
increases the likelihood of pulsation after wheel service.
The following are examples of pulsation conditions and reimbursement recommendations:
- If the customer noticed the condition between 4,800-16,000 km (3,000-10,000 mi) and it gradually got worse, normally the repair would
be covered. The customer may tolerate the condition until it becomes very apparent.
- If a GM dealer performed a prior brake service, consider paying for the repair and then strongly reinforce proper brake lathe
maintenance.

If the customer had the brake service done outside of a GM dealership, normally GM would not offer any assistance.

If a customer indicated they had wheel service, ask who performed the service. Then;

2016 GMC Truck Acadia AWD V6-3.6L Page 196
- If a GM dealer performed the service, consider paying for the repair and then strongly reinforce the use of torque sticks at the dealer.
Two common size torque sticks cover 90% of all GM products. Each technician needs to use torque sticks properly every time the
wheel nuts are tightened.
- If the customer had the wheel service done outside of a GM dealership, normally GM would not offer any assistance.
2. Thickness Variation Pulsation Caused by Brake Rotor Corrosion - Rotor corrosion is another form of thickness variation, which can cause a
pulsation concern and can be addressed as follows:
- Cosmetic Corrosion:
In most instances rotor corrosion is cosmetic and refinishing the rotor is unnecessary.
- Corrosion - Pulsation Caused by Thickness Variation (Lot Rot / Low Miles - 0-321 km (0-200 mi):
At times more extensive corrosion can cause pulsation due to thickness variation. This usually happens when the vehicle is parked for long
periods of time in humid type conditions and the braking surface area under the pads corrodes at a different rate compared to the rest of the
braking surface area. Cleaning up of braking surfaces (burnishing) can be accomplished by 10 - 15 moderate stops from 56- 64 km/h (35 -
40 mph) with cooling time between stops. If multiple moderate braking stops do not correct this condition, follow the "Brake Rotor
Clean-Up Procedure" below.
- Corrosion - Pulsation Caused by Thickness Variation (without rotor flaking / higher mileage - 3,200-8,000 km (2,000-5,000 mi):
In some cases, more extensive corrosion that is not cleaned up by the brake pad over time and miles can cause the same type of pulsation
complaint due to thickness variation. In these cases, the rotor surface is usually darker instead of shiny and a brake pad foot print can be
seen against the darker surface. This darker surface is usually due to build-up, on the rotor material surface, caused by a combination of
corrosion, pad material and heat. To correct this condition, follow the "Brake Rotor Clean-up Procedure" below.
- Corrosion - Pulsation Caused by Thickness Variation (with rotor flaking / higher mileage - 8,000 + km (5,000 + miles) :
At times, more extensive corrosion over time and miles can cause pulsation due to thickness variation (flaking). This flaking is usually a
build up, mostly on the rotor material surface, caused by a combination of corrosion, pad material and heat. When rotor measurements are
taken, the low areas are usually close to the original rotor thickness (new rotor) measurement and the high areas usually measure more than
the original rotor thickness (new rotor) measurement (depending on mileage and normal wear). To correct this condition, follow the
"Brake Rotor Clean-up Procedure" described below.
Important
In some flaking instances, cleaning-up this type of corrosion may require more rotor material to be removed then desired. Customer
consideration should be taken in these situations and handled on a case by case basis, depending on the amount/percentage of rotor life
remaining and the vehicle's warranty time and miles.
Brake Rotor Clean-Up Procedure
BRAKE ROTOR CLEAN-UP PROCEDURE
Clean-up the rotors on an approved, well-maintained brake lathe to guarantee smooth, flat and parallel surfaces. Check for clean and true lathe
adapters and make sure the arbor shoulder is clean and free of debris or burrs. For more information see the "Brake Lathe Calibration Procedure"
section in this bulletin.
1. On the outboard area of the rotor, position the cutting tools one eighth of an inch into the brake pad area of the rotor. Feed the cutting tools
into the rotor until they cut the rotor to new metal, a full 360 degrees. Zero each dial and back off a full turn.

Move the cutting bits to the middle of the rotor and do the same procedure. If zero is passed during the process, reset zero. Back off a full turn.

Position the cutting bits one eighth of an inch inside the inboard (closest to the hub) edge of the brake pad contact area. Do the same

procedure. If zero is passed during the process, reset zero.
4. Back off a full turn and position the cutting bits all the way inboard in preparation to refinish the full rotor surface. Advance both tool cutters
to the zero setting plus just enough to clean up the entire rotor surface.
5. After completing the refinish, sand both sides of the rotor for approximately one minute per side using a sanding block and 130-150 grit
sandpaper to obtain a non-directional finish.
Important
Only remove the necessary amount of material from each side of the rotor and note that equal amounts of material do not have to be removed
from both sides on any brake system using a floating caliper.
Important
In many of these instances, such a minimal amount of material is removed from the rotor that customer satisfaction is not a concern for future
brake services. This procedure is intended to "Clean-up" the rotor surface and should be conveyed to the customer as such - not as "cut",
2016 GMC Truck Acadia AWD V6-3.6L Page 197
"refinish" or "machine", which tends to be terms understood as a substantial reduction of rotor material/life. If the brake lathe equipment being
used is not capable of removing minor amounts of material while holding tolerances, further lathe maintenance, repair, updates or equipment
replacement may be necessary.
Brake Noise
BRAKE NOISE
Some brake noise is normal and differences in loading, type of driving, or driving style can make a difference in brake wear on the same make and
model. Depending on weather conditions, driving patterns and the local environment, brake noise may become more or less apparent. Verify all
metal-to-metal contact areas between pads, pad guides, caliper and knuckles are clean and lubricated with a thin layer of high temperature silicone
grease. Brake noise is caused by a "slip-stick" vibration of brake components. While intermittent brake noise may be normal, performing 3 to 4
aggressive stops may temporarily reduce or eliminate most brake squeal. If the noise persists and is consistently occurring, a brake dampening
compound may be applied to the back of each pad. This allows parts to slide freely and not vibrate when moving relative to each other. Use Silicone
Brake Lubricant, ACDelco P/N 88862181 (Canadian P/N 88862496) or equivalent.
The following noises are characteristics of all braking systems and are unavoidable. They may not indicate improper operation of the brake system.
Squeak/Squeal Noise:

Occurs with front semi-metallic brake pads at medium speeds when light to medium pressure is applied to the brake pedal.

Occasionally a noise may occur on rear brakes during the first few stops or with cold brakes and/or high humidity.

Grinding Noise:

Common to rear brakes and some front disc brakes during initial stops after the vehicle has been parked overnight.

Caused by corrosion on the metal surfaces during vehicle non-use. Usually disappears after a few stops.

Groan Noise:
A groan type noise may be heard when stopping quickly or moving forward slowly from a complete stop. This is normal. On vehicles equipped with
ABS, a groan or moan type noise during hard braking applications or loose gravel, wet or icy road conditions is a normal function of the ABS
activation.
Key Points - Frequently Asked Questions
KEY POINTS - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- Q: How do on-car lathes react to Axle Float? Does the play affect the machining of the rotor, either surface finish or LRO?
A: Because the Pro-Cut on-car lathe adjusts in a live mode while spinning the hub/rotor, the dynamics of a floating axle are effectively
eliminated. Once the lathe is compensated, there is no difference in the cutting/surface finish and LRO are just the same as with a non-floating
axle.
- Q: Which lathe is essential for performing brake work, the bench or on-car?
A: Dealers must have a well maintained bench lathe and well maintained on-car lathe. These lathes need to be calibrated on a monthly basis.
BOTH lathes are essential to providing quality brake service.
- Q: What is the expected tip life for an on-car lathe?
A: The geometry and composition of the Pro-Cut tips are designed for "single pass" cutting. When using the Pro-Cut the cutting depth should
be set to take all material needed to get below rust grooves, eliminate all run-out and resurface the entire disc in a single pass. Cuts of
0.1016-0.381 mm (0.004-0.015 in) will provide the best surface finish and the optimal tip life. No "skim cut" or "finish cut" is needed. Failure
to follow this procedure will shorten tip life. The Pro-cut tips will last between 7-12 cuts per corner. With three usable corners, a pair of tips is
good for at least 21 cuts.
- Q: Why does GM recommend the use of single pass (referred to as "positive rake") bench and on-car brake lathes?
A: GM Service and GM Brake Engineering have performed competitive evaluations on a significant number of bench and on-car brake lathes.
These tests measured critical performance characteristics such as flatness, surface finish and the ability of the lathe to repeat accuracy over
many uses. In each test, single pass lathe designs out performed the competitors. Single pass brake lathes are more productive requiring less
time to perform the same procedure.
- Q: Is it okay to leave the caliper/pads installed while cutting rotors using an on-car lathe?
A: On-car lathes should never be used with the pads and calipers installed on the vehicle. The debris from cutting the rotors can contaminate

Rotors should not be refinished or replaced for rotor discoloration/hard spots.

Rotors should be refinished NOT replaced for Customer Pulsation concerns. This condition is a result of rotor thickness variation, usually

caused by LRO (wear induced over time and miles) or corrosion (Lot Rot).
- When rotor refinishing, only remove the necessary amount of material from each side of the rotor and note that equal amounts of material do
not have to be removed from both sides on any brake system using a floating caliper.
- Rotors should be refinished for severe scoring - depth in excess of 1.5 mm (0.060 in).
Important
If the scoring depth is more than 1.5 mm (0.060 in) after the rotor is refinished, it should be replaced.
- It is not necessary to replace rotors in pairs. Rotors may be replaced individually. However, caution should be exercised, as a variance in
surface finish may cause a brake pull condition.
- New rotors should not be refinished before installation. Original equipment rotor surfaces are ground to ensure smooth finish and parallelism
between mounting and friction surfaces. If a new rotor has more than 0.050 mm (0.002 in) Lateral Run Out (LRO) when properly mounted on
the hub, correct it using one of the following methods:

NOT be covered under warranty since this type of wear is most likely due to driving habits or trailering. However, if the brake pads are
excessively worn un-evenly, side-to-side or same side/inner-to-outer pads, then consideration should be given to cover this under warranty
since this type of wear is most likely due to poor operation of other braking components.
- Consideration should be given for covering brake pads up to 39,000 km (24,000 mi) (excluding owner abuse, excessive trailering, or the
situations that would not be considered normal use).
- Installation of new rotors does not require pad replacement. Do not replace pads unless their condition requires it - excessively worn, damage
or contaminated.
