Manufacturer communication — 2005 GMC FULL SIZE PICKUP OR UTILITY (YUKON)

Reporter type: Manufacturer

Vehicles as recorded

What the manufacturer’s document says

normal characteristic (no repair) ・ names no model (for full-size utilities)

Applies to

  • The article concerns the 2005-08 full size pickup or utility vehicle.

    the passage
    Some customers may comment that the volt gauge fluctuates between 12 and 14 volts on their 2005-08 full size pickup or utility vehicle.

Fault

  • Some customers may comment that the volt gauge fluctuates between 12 and 14 volts.

    the passage
    Some customers may comment that the volt gauge fluctuates between 12 and 14 volts on their 2005-08 full size pickup or utility vehicle.

Finding the cause

Possible causes

  • Starting with the 2005 model year these vehicles have a Regulated Voltage Control (RVC) system, which reduces the targeted output voltage to 12.6-13.1 volts in Fuel Economy Mode to improve fuel economy.

    the passage
    Starting with the 2005 model year, these vehicles are equipped with a Regulated Voltage Control (RVC) system. RVC reduces the targeted output voltage to 12.6-13.1 volts when in Fuel Economy Mode to improve fuel economy.

  • The generator may exit Fuel Economy Mode if additional voltage is required, which makes the voltmeter fluctuate between 12 and 14 volts, whereas non-regulated systems usually hold a more consistent reading of 14 volts.

    the passage
    The generator may exit Fuel Economy Mode if additional voltage is required. This causes the voltmeter to fluctuate between 12 and 14 volts (fig. 16) , as opposed to non-regulated systems which usually maintain a more consistent reading of 14 volts.

Correction

Caution

  • This fluctuation with the RVC system is normal system operation; no repairs should be attempted.

    the passage
    This fluctuation with the RVC system is normal system operation. No repairs should be attempted.

  • Refer to the owner manual Section 3 (Instrument Panel), Voltmeter Gage, for more information.

  1. Communication summary

    電圧計のふらつき 2005-08 フルサイズピックアップまたはユーティリティ車で、電圧計が 12 ボルトと 14 ボルトの間でふらつく、と指摘するユーザーがいる。 2005-08 フルサイズピックアップまたはユーティリティ車で、電圧計が 12 ボルトと 14 ボルトの間でふらつく、と指摘するユーザーがいる。 2005 年式から、これらの車両には Regulated Voltage Control（RVC）システムが装備されている。RVC は、燃費を良くするため、フューエルエコノミーモードのときに目標出力電圧を 12.6-13.1 ボルトに下げる。 さらに電圧が必要になると、ジェネレーターはフューエルエコノミーモードを抜けることがある。このため電圧計は 12 ボルトと 14 ボルトの間でふらつく（図 16）。これは、通常 14 ボルトのより安定した値を保つ非レギュレーテッド式のシステムとは異なる。 RVC システムでのこのふらつきは、システムの正常な作動である。修理を試みてはならない。 詳しくはオーナーズマニュアルの Section 3（Instrument Panel）の Voltmeter Gage を参照する。 ヒント：キャンピングカーまたはトレーラーのバッテリーを適切に充電された状態に保つことに関する懸念については、PIT4426 を参照する。 Machine translation (unreviewed)
