2023 Chevrolet Bolt EV Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EV describes an LT four-door hatchback with battery-electric propulsion — one trim, one body, one drive system. What that buys a technician is directness. Every torque value, clearance, test procedure and wiring diagram in the book belongs to this car, from high-voltage isolation and battery module service through drive unit removal, charging and thermal system tests, and on into the brake, steering, suspension, restraint and body sections.

Known issues on the 2023 Bolt EV. Three recalls appear on the federal record. Two of them describe a post-crash fire: once a seat belt pretensioner has fired, its exhaust can ignite carpet fibers near the B-pillar. The third covers an instrument panel cover left without the perforation on its underside that lets the passenger air bag deploy through it. Complaints stand at 59, headed by steering with 17, the electrical system with 14 and exterior lighting with 6 — restraint, steering and lighting circuits are all documented in this manual.
