1、 WORLDWIDE ENGINEERING STANDARDS Test Procedure GMW17013 Test Procedure for Underhood Fluid Exposure Copyright 2013 General Motors Company All Rights Reserved November 2013 Page 1 of 3 1 Scope Note: Nothing in this standard supercedes applicable laws and regulations. Note: In the event of conflict b

2、etween the English and domestic language, the English language shall take precedence. 1.1 Purpose. The purpose of this test procedure is to determine the robustness of Powertrain components to withstand exposure to underhood fluids. This robustness may include characterizations such as color change,

3、 adhesion, lamination, erosion, and appearance. 1.2 Foreword. Not applicable. 1.3 Applicability. This test procedure applies to Powertrain components which may experience in-vehicle field exposure to underhood fluids. This component exposure shall be considered in proper vehicle installed position a

4、nd orientation. Typically, these components may be considered as those located in upper regions of the Powertrain compartment, which may be more easily and directly accessed by spilled fluids. 2 References Note: Only the latest approved standards are applicable unless otherwise specified. 2.1 Extern
