2015 Chevrolet Volt Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2015 Chevrolet Volt closes out the car's first generation, still a Base four-door hatchback with the 1.4L plug-in hybrid inline-four of 85 cubic inches, twin-cam and naturally aspirated on gasoline. A single configuration keeps the book tight: one set of engine specifications, one driveline, one charging system. Steering, suspension, brakes and body wiring follow in their own sections, each with the torque values and diagnostic steps needed to return the car to specification after a repair.

Known issues on the 2015 Volt. One recall is recorded federally. An inner tie rod that was not tightened to specification can work loose and separate from the steering gear, at which point the driver loses control of the front wheels, a failure that begins as an assembly torque error and ends as a crash risk. Owners filed 44 complaints, 16 of them on the electrical system, seven on air bags and six on the power train. Steering fastener torque values and those circuit diagnostics are both in this manual.
