2 Component Description
The GM C1YX-2 Head-up Display (HUD) is offered each one as a single project with its each
corresponding windshield.
The following carline are covered by these projects:
• C1YX-2 (GMC Traverse, Acadia, Enclave)
Only a left-hand drive version of the cars is going to be into the scope of this development.
The new GM C1YX-2 HUD are based on the previous GM HUD O1SL-2; µController (variant), TFT
Display, backlight illumination, ambient light sensor, stepper motor and its driver are reused
from it. Power supplies are from Continental’s platform also used in other HUD projects. LVDS
in general is known from GM HUD O1SL-2 and other projects. The video scaling chip and
dedicated LVDS (FPD-Link IV) chipset with I²C interface are new circuits but with a well-known
interface.

GM C1XY-2 HUD’s are designed to receive a video stream from the Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) via
LVDS (FPD Link IV) interface. All video/images received from the VCU are shown on an LCD TFT
(Thin Film Transistor) display which is backlighted by white LEDs. All these constitute a PGU (Picture
Generating Unit).
The image shown in the TFT display is then projected to the windshield using optical and mechanical
components.
For vertical adjustment of the virtual images, a stepper motor is used to move an aspherical mirror.
Motor is driven by a driver using PWM. The reference position of the stepper motor is known with a
Zero position switch.
All functions of the GM C1YX-2 HUD are controlled through bidirectional control channel implemented
via embedded signaling in the high-speed forward channel (serializer to deserializer) combined with
lower speed signaling in the reverse channel (deserializer to serializer).
The backlighting intensity is set by software, sent by the VCU through I 2C commands, the dimming
control module sets the target brightness for the backlight of the Head-up Display.
In order to keep the backlight intensity stable against ambient light changes, a light sensor is used as
part of the product to sense the changes in the ambient light, so the microcontroller is able to adjust
the LED current and PWM (via LED driver) that pass through the LEDs (backlight) and keep a flat
illumination.
Temperature sensor (NTC) is used to protect the critical components that are sensible to the
temperature; TFT display. Sensor communicates through I2C interface to microcontroller.
The HUD is protected against weather environment with a Housing, Glass cover and is positioned
steady to the vehicle. HUD is also protected from Sun light reflections by optics design.

GMW3172 ENV SME or GM CVE, as defined in GMW16044. The supplier may be required to perform
further investigation (including cross-sectioning) to determine the degree or type of degradation. GM
Engineering will decide as to the necessity of corrective action. The pre-test and post-test samples
shall comply with the acceptance criteria according to the latest version of IPC-A-610, Acceptability of
Electronic Assemblies. Class 3 shall be applied, unless the CTS/CTRS states otherwise.
The total axial whisker length shall not exceed the acceptance criteria as stated in JEDEC JESD 201A,
Environmental Acceptance Requirements for Tin Whisker Susceptibility of Tin and Tin Alloy Surface
Finishes, for Class 2. The total whisker density range shall not exceed 45 whiskers per lead or
termination at which it was measured.
Sealant Integrity:
Seal separation can be either “cohesive” or “adhesive” by design.
Separation of components that are sealed using liquid or paste type sealant (e.g., RTV, wet-dispensed,
etc.) must show 100% “cohesive separation” of the sealant on all seal surfaces. Cohesive separation
is characterized as a splitting of the sealant such that a film of sealant remains on both of the substrate
surfaces. Lack of cohesive separation indicates an incompatibility between the sealant and substrate.
In other words, when the component housing is pulled apart, the sealant shall be capable of a 100%
cohesive separation (i.e., sealant should be on both sides of the surface, for example 50% on one side,
50% on other side).
The other type of seal separation is “adhesive separation”, which is typical of a gasket application. An
adhesive sealant is characterized by a lack of residue on the contacting substrate surface. In other
words, for adhesive separation, the seal shall remain entirely on one of the substrate surfaces that
comprise the sealing interface.
Additionally, the following are procedure-specific inspection criteria as defined by each of the
following specific tests:
Vibration With Thermal Cycling, Mechanical Shock – Pothole, Mechanical Shock – Collision,
Mechanical Shock – Closure Slam:

Multiplieraltitude :
Procedure:
Use the following equation to determine the maximum component operating temperature at high
altitude:
Tmax_part Taltitude = ∆Tpart_oper x Multiplieraltitude + Tambient + 10 °C
where:
• Tmax_part: Maximum allowable temperature from part data sheet.
• Taltitude: Calculated operating temperature of part at altitude.
• Tambient: Ambient temperature at altitude (4572 m). Use +35 °C as the default value.
• ∆Tpart_oper: Temperature increase of part due to operation (this is the temperature difference of the
component when the part is at sea level). This can be obtained either by Thermal Analysis of the
part or by a physical measurement of the part in the component.
• Multiplieraltitude: The Multiplier value is based on altitude and air flow. The multipliers as noted in
Table 19 are used to adjust the temperature rise for high altitude effects in the equation.
• +10 °C: This is the safety margin.

Procedure:
1 Measurements shall be taken in the following directions, if possible:
a Forward pushing force to dislodge the pin into the header (as if mating a female connector).
b A rearward pulling force to dislodge the terminal out of the header (as when removing a female
connector from the header).
Note: Depending on individual design, “pushing” or “pulling” may be reversed in order to get the
proper reading. It may also be appropriate to apply the loads from the back of the connector on
certain designs.
2 Secure the header body to an appropriate fixture.
3 Using the force tester, apply pressure to the male terminal pin at rate of (50 ± 10) mm/min. Record
the peak force required to displace the terminal a distance of 0.20 mm. Repeat for each pin
location.
Note: Where resultant damage to the connector housing would affect readings on adjacent
cavities, move to an undamaged pin or use a fresh connector.
4 Using new test samples as needed, reverse force direction and repeat steps 2 and 3.
5 Repeat Steps 1 thru 4 using headers that are moisture conditioned by being exposing to 95% to
98% Relative Humidity at +40 ºC for 6 hours. The push/pull tests shall be performed immediately
following removal of the headers from the temperature/humidity chamber.
Note: Step 5 is not required for designs where soldering, welding, or metal-to-metal mechanical
crimping is the primary terminal retention method.
Criteria: The force required to displace a male terminal 0.20 mm in either direction shall be at least
the values specified in the table below.

Monitoring: N/A
Parameters: Effective Acceleration = 9.81 m/s2 = 1.0 GRMS
Figure 43: Random Vibration Profile for Shipping
Note: This test is not a life fatigue test for vibration, but rather an evaluation of the ability of the shipping
container to provide adequate transport of the component(s) without damaging them. The Vibration
with Thermal Cycle test is the life test for the component to demonstrate reliability and confidence for
vibration fatigue. This test does not prove vibration fatigue reliability.
Procedure:
Internal
GM WORLDWIDE ENGINEERING STANDARDS GMW3172 Component
Environmental Test Plan
Use a vibration test fixture that allows the shipping container to move freely in the vertical axis of the
vibration table. One possible fixture consists of a base plate with four upright posts that are slightly
larger than the shipping container. Provisions shall be made to allow placement of the shipping
container in all three directions.
1 Perform the production End-Of-Line (EOL) test.
2 This test shall be performed on one fully-populated final shipping container of production
components. The shipping container shall include all interior packing material.
3 Vibrate the shipping container for 24 h in each of the three mutually perpendicular directions using
the methods outlined in ASTM D4728, Standard Test Method for Random Vibration Testing of
Shipping Containers. If a supplier can use a vibration table with 6 Degrees Of Freedom, then the
test can be run for 24 h only once. Use the Random Vibration Profile shown in Table 47 and Figure
43.
Describe how many samples and include a diagram of how the samples will be placed in
the final shipping container:
(TBD: provide details to address the item described above)
4 Inspect all components for structural damage, degradation of surfaces visible to customers, and
for debris from the packaging materials both inside and outside of the component.
5 Select components (6 samples as a default) from the highest stress area of the shipping container
to perform the 5-Point Functional/Parametric Check.
Describe how many samples and describe the locations of these samples in the final
shipping container that will be tested in the 5-Point Functional/Parametric Check:
(TBD: provide details to address the item described above)
Criteria: Functional Status Classification shall be C. Additionally, during the Visual Inspection and
Dissection – DRBTR, there shall be no external visible damage to any of the components. And there
shall be no internal damage to the 6 selected components that were functionally tested. Additionally,
report any debris from the packaging materials either inside or outside the components.
8 Additional Activities
In Section 8 of CG3043, add any additional Environmental, Durability, or Functional requirements that
were not explicitly tested in previous sections of the Test Plan. For example, include procedures to test
functional requirements that are specific to the CTS, CTRS, or SSTS for this component. Also, include
any additional Environmental or Durability-related requirements from the CTS/CTRS. This section shall
be reviewed and approved by the Component Validation Engineer.
