Driven for Extended Period of Time - Expires October 31, 2008
Models:
2008 Daewoo G2X
2008 Pontiac Solstice GXP
2008 Saturn SKY Redline
THIS SERVICE UPDATE INVOLVES VEHICLES IN DEALER/RETAILER INVENTORY ONLY AND WILL EXPIRE OCTOBER 31, 2008.
Calibrations required to perform this service update will be available:
-
Automatic transmission - Monday, April 28, 2008
-
Manual transmission - May 2008 (dealers/retailers will be notified when available)
Purpose
This bulletin provides a service procedure to reprogram the electronic brake control module (EBCM) and the engine control module (ECM) on certain
2008 model year Daewoo G2X, Pontiac Solstice GXP, and Saturn SKY Redline vehicles. These vehicles may have increased brake pedal effort due to
low brake booster vacuum conditions that may occur after the vehicle has not been operated for an extended period of time and/or at higher altitudes and
restarted. In addition, there may be brake pedal movement or pulsation accompanied by a ratchet sound coming from the brake system during optimized
hydraulic boost (OHB) activation when braking. These conditions can occur for up to approximately 60 seconds after vehicle start-up.
After the EBCM/ECM calibration, brake pedal movement or pulsation accompanied by a ratchet sound will be reduced.
This service procedure should be completed on involved vehicles currently in dealership/retailer inventory as soon as possible but no later than October
31, 2008, at which time this bulletin will expire.
Vehicles Involved
A list of involved vehicles currently in dealer/retailer inventory is available on the "Service Update Bulletin Information" link under the "Service" tab in
DealerWorld (GM and Saturn US) or attached to the Dealer/Retailer Communication (Canada) used to release this bulletin.
