PRODUCT EMISSION
Bulletin No.: 10148
Date: July 13, 2010
Subject: 10148 - Malfunction Indicator Light May Not Illuminate for Evaporative Emission System Faults
Models:
2006-2007 Pontiac G6
Equipped with 2.4L 4-Cylinder Engine (LE5 - VIN B)
2007 Chevrolet Malibu
Equipped with 2.2L 4-Cylinder Engine (L61 - VIN F)
Registered in California
Condition
General Motors has decided to conduct a Voluntary Emission Recall involving certain 2006-2007 model year Pontiac G6 vehicles equipped with a 2.4L
4-cylinder engine (LE5 - VIN B) and 2007 model year Chevrolet Malibu vehicles equipped with a 2.2L 4-cylinder engine (L61 - VIN F). These vehicles
were built with a condition where a stuck full fuel level sensor signal could disable the evaporative emission diagnostic. If this were to occur, the Engine
Control Module (ECM) may not be able to illuminate a malfunction indicator light in the instrument panel for certain evaporative emission system
problems. Revised diagnostic software and calibrations should be installed as soon as practical.
Correction
Dealers are to reprogram the Engine Control Module (ECM).
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 2006-2007 model year Pontiac G6 vehicles equipped with a 2.4L 4 cylinder engine (LE5 - VIN B), and 2007 model year Chevrolet
Malibu vehicles equipped with a 2.2L 4-cylinder engine (L61 - VIN F) that are registered in California, and built within these VIN breakpoints:
Important
Dealers are to confirm vehicle eligibility prior to beginning repairs by using the Investigate Vehicle History link. Not all vehicles within the
above breakpoints may be involved.
For dealers with involved vehicles, a listing with involved vehicles containing the complete vehicle identification number, customer name, and address
information has been prepared and will be provided to dealers through the GM GlobalConnect Recall Reports. Dealers will not have a report available if
they have no involved vehicles currently assigned.
The listing may contain customer names and addresses obtained from Motor Vehicle Registration Records. The use of such motor vehicle registration
data for any purpose other than follow-up necessary to complete this recall is a violation of law in several states. Accordingly, you are urged to limit the
use of this report to the follow-up necessary to complete this recall.
Parts Information
No parts are required for this recall.
Service Procedure
Do not attempt to order the calibration number from GM Customer Care and Aftersales. The calibration numbers required for this service procedure are
programmed into control modules via a Multiple Diagnostic Interface (MDI) and TIS2WEB with the calibration update. When using a MDI for
reprogramming, ensure that is updated with the latest software version. Use TIS2WEB on or after 05/25/10 to obtain the calibration. If you cannot
access the calibration, call the Techline Customer Support Center and it will be provided.
For step-by-step programming instructions, please refer to SI and the Techline Information System (TIS) terminal.
