Known issues on the 2009 Savana 1500. Two owner complaints are logged with NHTSA for this model year, one on the fuel and propulsion system and one on the electrical system. Both point at the areas this manual gives the most diagnostic attention: fuel delivery and injection for the flex-fuel V8 and the V6, with pressure specifications and component tests, and the van's electrical architecture, presented as circuit diagrams with connector locations and step-by-step checks. Brake, steering, suspension and body procedures with their torque values fill out the rest of the book.
