Enclave FWD V6-3.6L (2008)
Reroute Harness and Secure Connector
Follow the procedure below to re-route and attach the harness connector to the body harness bundle:
1. The original seat airbag connector was attached with a clip to the bottom of the seat (2) as shown above.
2. Using two wire ties, secure the seat airbag connector to the seat wire bundle as shown. Ensure that there is enough slack for full range of motion of
the seat.
3. Inspect the wires through the full range of motion of the seat again as in Step 2. Ensure that the wires have been secured in an orientation that
allows full seat motion with adequate clearance to the connectors and sufficient slack in the wires.
4. Enable the SIR system. Refer to SIR Disabling and Enabling in SI.
5. Turn the ignition on and use the diagnostic tool to clear the SDM DTCs and verify that the issue has been corrected. If the code is still current,
refer to the appropriate diagnostic procedure found in SI.
Owner Letter
Owner Letter
Dear General Motors Customer:
As the owner of a 2008 or 2009 model year Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, or Saturn OUTLOOK vehicle, or a 2009 model year Chevrolet Traverse
vehicle, your satisfaction with our product is very important to us.
This letter is intended to make you aware that some 2008 and 2009 model year Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, and Saturn OUTLOOK vehicles, and some
2009 model year Chevrolet Traverse vehicles, may exhibit wear which could lead to corrosion in the connector terminal pins at the connection between
the body main wiring harness and the front driver and passenger side impact air bag. Over time, the wear may result in a resistance value that sets a
SERVICE AIR BAG System warning message in the Driver Information Center (DIC). The seat side impact air bag would continue to be fully
functional. Over time, and if the SERVICE AIR BAG System DIC warning message is ignored, the resistance could increase to a level in which the seat
side impact air bag may not deploy when commanded in a side impact crash.
Do not take your vehicle to your GM dealer as a result of this letter unless you believe that your vehicle has the condition as described above.
What We Have Done: General Motors is providing owners with additional protection for this condition. If this condition occurs on your 2008 or 2009
model year Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, or Saturn OUTLOOK vehicle, or your 2009 Chevrolet Traverse vehicle within 10 years of the date your
vehicle was originally placed in service or 120,000 miles (193,000 km), whichever occurs first, the condition will be repaired for you at no charge.
Diagnosis or repair for conditions other than the condition described above is not covered under this special coverage program.
What You Should Do: If you believe that your vehicle has the condition described above, repairs and adjustments qualifying under this special
coverage must be performed by a General Motors dealer. You may want to contact your GM dealer to find out how long they will need to have your
vehicle so that you may schedule the appointment at a time that is convenient for you. Keep this letter with your other important glove box literature for
future reference.
