New Trax – continued from page 1

1.4L 4-Cylinder Turbo

The only available engine is a turbocharged 1 .4L 4-cylinder engine (RPO LUV) that features a cast-iron block and an aluminum cylin-der head . It has double overhead cams, variable valve timing and four valves per cylinder .

With a compression ratio of 9 .5:1, the engine provides 138 hp at 4900 rpm and 148 lb-ft of torque between 1,850 and 4,900 rpm . The EPA-estimated fuel economy is 26 mpg city, 34 mpg highway (FWD) or 24 mpg city, 31 mpg highway (AWD) . Regular unleaded fuel is recommended .

All Trax models use an electronically con-trolled, automatic overdrive 6-speed 6T40 transaxle with an electronically controlled torque converter clutch .

RPO MH8 is used on the front-wheel drive (FWD) model and RPO MHB is used on the all-wheel drive (AWD) model . DEXRON®-VI automatic transmission fluid should be used in both transmissions .

The AWD system, available on all trim levels, provides extra trac-tion and maneuverability . The automatically engaging system seamlessly splits torque between the front and rear wheels when required, for better traction and handling . When it isn’t needed, the AWD system automatically shifts into FWD to maximize efficiency .

Steering and Suspension

A MacPherson strut front suspension is used with coil-over springs, a direct-acting large stabilizer bar, and side-load-compensated front strut modules with a steel 6-point rigid attachment front cross member .

The rear suspension features a compound crank (torsion beam) design, with a double-wall, tubular V-shape beam profile and gas-charged twin-tube shocks, that combines all the advantages of a conventional torsion beam axle, including minimal space require-ments, with low weight and consistent camber control . Noise-damp-ing urethane spring isolators dampen noise .

FWD and AWD models feature a rack-and-pinion gear (straight ratio) with a direct-acting, column-mounted electric power steering system that helps save fuel by drawing energy only when the steer-ing wheel is turned .

The FWD Trax has antilock brakes (ABS) with front disc brakes with ventilated rotors and rear drum brakes . The AWD Trax has ABS with four-wheel disc brakes with ventilated front rotors and solid rear rotors .

Brake features include electronic brake force distribution as well as cornering brake control and brake assist . Electronic brake force distribution optimizes the distribution of force to each of the four wheels during braking while driving through turns, depending on the radius of the turn .

The StabiliTrak® electronic stability control system incorporates traction control and rollover mitigation features .

The body structure of the Trax forms a protective cage around the passenger compartment, with 66 percent of it composed of high-strength steels, including ultrahigh-strength steel in strategic areas . It also features a class-best 10 standard air bags .

Wheel Options

The LS FWD model uses 16 x 6 .5-inch steel wheels with wheel covers .

The LS AWD model and LT model use 16 x 6 .5-inch aluminum wheels .

The LTZ model uses 18 x 7-inch aluminum wheels .

P205/70R16 ALS and P215/55R18 AL3 tires are used, depending on wheel size .

The tire pres-sure monitor system (TPMS) uses radio and sensor technology to check tire pressure levels . The TPMS sensors monitor the air pressure in the tires and transmit tire pressure readings to a receiver located in the vehicle .

Infotainment Technology

Standard technology includes the Chevrolet MyLink™ infotain-ment system with a 7-inch (178-mm) diagonal color touch screen, with a Rear Vision Camera (RVC) and 4G LTE with built-in Wi-Fi hotspot . 4G LTE with the built-in Wi-Fi hotspot enables the con-nection of up to seven multiple personal devices such as smart-phones, laptops and tablets to high-speed wire-less Internet . The hotspot is on whenever the vehicle is on and comes with a three-month/three-gigabyte data trial (which-ever comes first) . The system includes Bluetooth streaming audio for music and select phone, as well as Pandora, TuneIn radio and Stitcher .

Other infotainment features Siri® Eyes Free for iPhone® iOS 6, iOS 7 and iOS 8 users, which enables voice-controlled connectivity so customers can keep phones stored and their hands on the wheel .

Screen Shots

Correct GM calibrations must be confirmed with a picture or screen shot of the proper calibration verifica-tion screen. The shots are required in order to process an engine/transmis-sion/drivetrain hard part warranty transaction.

Refer to the applicable service bulletin for the specific vehicle being repaired for information on how to retrieve and save the required Tech 2 or GDS 2 screen shots before disassembly or removal of engine/transmission/drive-train components from the vehicle.

Thanks to Tracy Lucas, Ron Caponey and Larry Yaw

When alterations to GM engine or transmission control module calibrations are made by owners, it subjects powertrain and driveline components (the engine, transmission, transfer case, driveshaft and rear axle) to stresses that were not tested by GM. These unknown stresses have the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions per-formance. GM is identifying an increasing number of engine, transmission and catalytic converter part failures due to non-GM aftermarket calibrations.

As a result, GM has adopted a policy that prevents any unauthorized warranty trans-action submissions to any remaining warranty coverage to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a non-GM calibration is confirmed, even if the non-GM control module calibration is subsequently removed.

TIP: GM requires retrieving the calibration information and performing the calibra-tion verification procedure whenever a hard part failure may have occurred on internal engine components before disassembly, repair or replacement of an engine assembly under warranty. It is also strongly recommended that the calibration verification proce-dure be performed whenever diagnostics indicate that transmission, transfer case, rear axle or catalytic converter replacement is needed.

If a non-GM calibration is found and verification has taken place through GM, the remaining powertrain and driveline warranty may be blocked and notated in Global Warranty Management (GWM) and the dealership will be notified. This block prevents any unauthorized warranty claim submission.

Verification Procedures

Refer to the following GM Bulletins for the procedures to identify the presence of non-GM/aftermarket calibrations.

Identifying Aftermarket Calibrations before Warranty Repairs

New Trax – continued from page 2

The available BringGo app brings smart-phone-enabled navigation that can be displayed on the large MyLink screen, and allows using the touch screen to control the navigation.

Electrical Power Management

The vehicle has electrical power manage-ment that estimates the battery's tem-perature and state-of-charge. Electrical power management adjusts the voltage for best performance and extended life of the battery. When the battery's state-of-charge is low, the voltage is raised slightly to quickly bring the state-of-charge back up. When the state-of-charge is high, the voltage is lowered slightly to pre-vent overcharging. If the vehicle has a voltmeter gauge or a voltage display on the Driver Information Center (DIC), the driver may see the voltage move up or down. This is normal.

Electrical power management works to prevent excessive discharge of the battery. It does this by balancing the generator's output and the vehicle's electrical needs. It can increase engine idle speed to generate more power, whenever needed.

It can temporarily reduce the power de-mands of some accessories. Normally, these actions occur in steps or levels, without being noticeable. At the highest levels of corrective action, this action may be noticeable to the driver.

Special Tools

The following tools were released for the 2015 Trax:

• DT-50839 Transmission Adapter Plate Bushing Replacer

• DT-50840 Input Shaft Seal Installer

• DT-50937 Spline Protector-IDS Shaft Seal at Right Ext Housing

• DT-50985 IDS Excluder Seal Installa-tion – into IDS Flange

Once GDS 2 is processing a task, the message bar will be yellow and display the current activity .

Once the green message bar ap-pears, indicating vehicle data has been loaded, the Enter button will be enabled . The VIN entry is op-tional . If a VIN is not entered, a ses-sion name will be created using the following format: NO VIN YY MM DD HH MM SS .

Session File Error

Sessions can become corrupt through normal usage when portions of a file fail to save properly, similar to any Windows application files .

In the Vehicle Selection area, if there is one or more corrupted session files detected when GDS 2 is attempting to load a vehicle, a message will be displayed stating the invalid session has been detected and either the most recent valid session will be loaded or that GDS 2 is unable to load the session .

Corrupted sessions will be marked with an exclamation point in the stored sessions file . The exclamation point column appears only when a corrupted session is detected by GDS 2 . If an invalid ses-sion is detected during import, the session will be removed and will not appear in the stored sessions file .

Value Source

The Value Source column provides the user with in-formation about how the data was obtained based on the source . For example, In the Selected Vehicle area or the Stored Data Review, the source may be the VIN . Or in the Selected Vehicle Configuration, the source may be the RPO .

Always update the GDS 2 scan tool diagnostic package to the latest version available; and anytime a communication condition is encountered, verify the latest update is being used .

Thanks to Chris Henley
