CHEVROLET KODIAK 2004 Owners Manual

Vehicle Identication
Vehicle Identication Number (VIN)
This is the legal identifier for your vehicle. It appears on
a plate in the front corner of the instrument panel, on
the driver’s side. You can see it if you look through the
windshield from outside your vehicle. The VIN also
appears on the Vehicle Certification and Service Parts
labels and the certificates of title and registration.
Engine Identication
The 8th character in your VIN is the engine code. This
code will help you identify your engine, specifications
and replacement parts.
Service Statement
One of these statements is on your GVW Rating label.
Here is what each one means.
TRUCK SERVICE:A vehicle made to carry property or
special equipment. It is made for uniform frame
loading. That includes using the vehicle to pull a full
trailer.
TRUCK-TRACTOR:A vehicle made to draw other
vehicles. It is made to carry part of the load of the trailer.
It is made for point frame loading, usually for a
semi-trailer (fifth-wheel).
MAX. VERT. CG:The highest allowable vertical center
of gravity, at the highest allowable GVWR. It is
measured from the level ground in inches.
TRUCK-CANADA:A vehicle first sold in Canada with a
non-school bus application, or cab models with regular
production option RQ2 (truck service).
TRACTOR-CANADA:A cab model first sold in Canada
with regular production option RQ3 (truck-tractor
service).

Service Parts Identication Label
You’ll find this label in a location determined by the body
manufacturer. It’s very helpful if you ever need to
order parts. On this label is:
•your VIN,
•the model designation,
•paint information and
•a list of all production options and special
equipment.
Be sure that this label is not removed from the vehicle.
Electrical System
Add-On Electrical Equipment
Notice:Don’t add anything electrical to your
vehicle unless you check with your dealer rst.
Some electrical equipment can damage your vehicle
and the damage wouldn’t be covered by your
warranty. Some add-on electrical equipment can
keep other components from working as they
should.
Headlamp Wiring
The headlamp wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in
the light switch. An electrical overload will cause the
lights to go on and off, or in some cases to remain off. If
this happens, have your headlamp wiring checked
right away.
5-86

Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit
breaker inside the motor and a circuit breaker or fuse in
the fuse block. If the motor overheats, the wipers will
stop until the motor cools. If the overload is caused by
an electrical problem, be sure to get it fixed.
Fusible Links
A fusible link is a short piece of wire several gauge
sizes smaller than the circuit it protects. It will melt in an
overload situation, opening the circuit.
Your starter and other circuits have these fusible links.
The size is printed on the insulation. If the insulation
is burned beyond recognition, consult your GM dealer
for the proper size. Replace a fusible link with one of the
same size and insulation type. Fusible link insulation
is a special purpose high-temperature material.
The hydraulic brake booster motor feed circuit and
starter circuit are protected by a fusible link. Vehicles
with a diesel engine have a fusible link for the intake
heater feed circuit.
Power Windows and Other Power
Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power
windows and other power accessories. When the current
load is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens. This
protects the circuit until the current load returns to
normal or the problem is fixed.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers,
maxi-fuses and fusible links. This greatly reduces the
chance of a fire caused by an electrical problem. There
may be a fuse taped to the wiring harness near the
hydraulic brake booster.
5-87

Instrument Panel Fuse Block
There are two instrument panel fuse blocks located behind the instrument panel on the passenger’s side of
the vehicle.
Be sure to replace fuses with fuses of the same rating. Do not use fuses of higher amperage than those indicated on
the fuse block.

Underhood Fuse Block
When a circuit goes out, the problem could be in either
the primary or secondary underhood fuse blocks.
These blocks uses blade-type fuses.
Both underhood fuse
blocks are located in the
engine compartment,
on the passenger’s side of
the vehicle.
To access the fuse blocks, gently squeeze both sides of
the cover to unlatch the tabs at the top. Then, unsnap
both attachments at the bottom and remove the cover.
Be sure to replace fuses with fuses of the same
rating. Do not use fuses of higher amperage than those
indicated on the fuse block.Relay Usage
