Circuit Description

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2013 GMC Yukon XL, 2013 GMC Yukon, 2013 Chevrolet Suburban, 2013 Chevrolet Avalanche, and 2013 Cadillac Escalade EXT. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

To provide maximum fuel economy under light load driving conditions, the engine control module (ECM) will command the valve lifter oil manifold (VLOM) solenoids ON, to deactivate engine cylinders 1 and 7 on the left bank, and cylinders 4 and 6 on the right bank. The VLOM consists of 4 electrically operated normally closed solenoids, which directs pressurized engine oil to 8 deactivating valve lifters. All 4 VLOM solenoids are connected in parallel to a fused ignition circuit supplied by the powertrain relay. The control circuit for each solenoid is connected to an individual low side driver internal to the ECM. When enabling conditions for V4 mode are met, the ECM will command each low side driver to turn ON, in engine firing order sequence.
