I HAVE REPLACED THE HUB ASSEMBLY, IDLER ARM, & WHEEL BEARINGS ON BOTH DRIVER & PASSENGER SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. WHEN I DRIVE OVER 45 MPH MY CAR MAKES AN AWFUL SOUND & NO MATTER WHAT I CHANGE OR HAVE FIXED THE PARKING BRAKE/ABS LIGHTS STAY ON. I'VE HAD MANY MECHANICS LOOK AT & SAY THEY'VE FIXED THE ISSUE BUT NONE HAVE ACTUALLY FIXED IT. I WAS DRIVING 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY & MY BRAKES FELT AS IF THEY WERE LOCKING UP. *TR

This Preliminary Information communicates to the dealer the process for downloading or updating operating software for the Tire Pressure Monitor, Active Fuel Injector tester, multi media tester, PICO Scope, GR8 starting/charging tester  and Vehicle Data Recorder tools, giving website address and step by step instructions to complete the update.

This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician about vehicles that the Heater-Vent-Air Conditioning blows warm air. Before calling General Motors Technical Assistance Center technician will need to have high and low pressures, outside temperature, humidity, and vent temperature.

Vehicle Wide Programming (VWP) is a new process to update software on GM Vehicles. It provides the ability via a single selection within Techline Connect to first identify which modules need updating and then proceed to updating affected modules (with some exceptions). The updating of modules is completed in parallel instead of the technician needing to update one module at a time. This allows a more streamlined approach for dealers and customers.

GM is receiving damaged (cracked or broken) transmission cores returned to the reman facilities. The damage is being caused either in the removal process by the technician, or inadequate packaging or shipping. This bulletin advises the dealers to be more careful not to damage the transmissions during removal and to package the core properly for return.

This service bulletin advises of a new fuel injection cleaner kit used for decarbonizing the intake valves to correct conditions of rough idle, Crank no start, extended crank or misfire, MIL with DTCs, and explains how Top Tier fuels should be used to reduce carbon build-up.
