2016 GMC Yukon Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2016 GMC Yukon covers Denali, SLE and SLT versions of the four-door sport utility, each fitted with either the 5.3L or the 6.2L overhead-valve V8, both naturally aspirated and both listed for flex-fuel or gasoline. Two engines and one body keep the mechanical branching simple; the complication lies in the control modules and circuits wrapped around them. Procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics are set out system by system to keep the two sides straight.

Known issues on the 2016 Yukon. Five recalls are on the record. One concerns front upper control arms with inadequate welds, which can let the arm separate from its bushing and compromise steering. Another describes the brake vacuum pump losing output over time, so assist fades and stopping takes longer. A third involves a failed wheel-speed sensor triggering the driveline protection system, braking the wheel opposite the fault and pulling the truck to one side. Owners filed 266 complaints, led by 87 on exterior lighting and 46 electrical. Control arm torque values, brake assist diagnostics and lighting wiring diagrams are all here.
