ECU CHEVROLET KODIAK 2007 Owner's Guide

When you tilt the hood far enough, the cables will
support it. When you close the hood, make
sure both latches are secured.
Engine Oil (Caterpillar®Diesel
Engine)
See your Caterpillar®Operation & Maintenance
Manual for information on oil quality and viscosities
as well as the temperature range chart.
Engine Oil (Gasoline Engine)
If the low oil light
appears on the
instrument cluster, it
means you need
to check the engine oil
level right away.
For more information, seeLow Oil Level Light on
page 176.
You should check the engine oil level regularly;
this is an added reminder.

Coolant Surge Tank Pressure Cap
The coolant surge tank pressure cap is located in
the engine compartment, on the driver’s side of
the vehicle.
Notice:Your vehicle’s surge tank pressure cap
is designed for use with medium-duty cooling
systems only. If the surge tank pressure cap is
not tightly installed, coolant loss and possible
engine damage may occur. Be sure the cap is
properly and tightly secured.
Engine Overheating
You will find an engine coolant temperature gage,
as well as a low coolant warning light, on your
vehicle’s instrument panel. SeeEngine Coolant
Temperature Gage on page 173andLow Coolant
Warning Light on page 173for more information.
Your vehicle also has a check gages warning light
on the instrument panel. SeeCheck Gages
Warning Light on page 180for more information.
If Steam Is Coming From Your Engine
{CAUTION:
Steam from an overheated engine can
burn you badly, even if you just open the
hood. Stay away from the engine if you
see or hear steam coming from it. Just
turn it off and get everyone away from the
vehicle until it cools down. Wait until
there is no sign of steam or coolant
before you open the hood.
If you keep driving when your engine is
overheated, the liquids in it can catch re.
You or others could be badly burned.
Stop your engine if it overheats, and get
out of the vehicle until the engine is cool.
Notice:If your engine catches re because
you keep driving with no coolant, your vehicle
can be badly damaged. The costly repairs
would not be covered by your warranty.

Underhood Fuse Block
When a circuit goes out, the problem could be in
either the primary or secondary underhood
fuse blocks. These blocks use 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.

(11)= Chassis Lubrication Service: Lubricate all
grease fittings in front suspension, front axle,
and steering linkage. DO NOT lubricate kingpin
bushings with air pressure equipment; instead,
use a hand grease gun to ensure complete purge
and eliminate sealer cap distortion. Front axle
tie rod ends, both upper and lower kingpin fittings,
and both steering linkage relay rod ends should
be greased with the vehicle loaded on the ground
and wheels turned straight ahead, NOT with
the vehicle on a hoist. Apply kingpin bushing
lubricant to both upper and lower kingpin grease
fittings until new lubricant purges from between
the upper shim pack and thrust bearing. Lubricate
transmission and shift linkage, hood latches
and hood hinges, parking brake lever pivot, clevis
pins and linkage, disc brake caliper rails, clutch
linkage and release bearing (if equipped), bearing
pads, propshaft universal joints, brake camshaft
bracket, slack adjusters, pedal shaft, clutch
cross shaft, clutch pedal springs, and clutch cable
bushing at transmission. Lubricate suspension,
axle, and steering linkage more often when
operating under dusty or muddy conditions and in
excessive off-road use. Frequently power-washed
vehicles will require more frequent lubrication.(12)= Check steering system:
•Look for damaged, loose, or missing parts.
Inspect the steering linkage relay rod and
tie rod ends for looseness or lack of lubricant.
Also look for parts showing signs of wear
or lack of lubrication. Replace parts as
needed. Also check steering gear mounting
bolts, pitman arm nut, gear housing upper
cover and side cover attaching bolts, steering
column mounting bolts and cardan joint
clamp bolts; tighten if necessary. See the
service manual.
•Inspect power steering hoses, tubes, and
fittings for leaks. Hoses and lines must not
be twisted, kinked, or tightly bent. Make sure
clips, clamps, supporting tubes, and hoses
are in place and properly secured.
•Check steering gear for leakage around
pitman shaft and housing. If leakage is evident
(lubricant oozing out, not just oily film), leak
should be corrected immediately.
