Service bulletin PIP5084A

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary

This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician about vehicles that have a harsh shift or illuminated Malfunction Indicator Lamp. Technician may find Diagnostic Trouble Code P0716 or P0717 stored in the Transmission Control Module. Technician will need to check circuit 1984. Technician should use tool J 44152 on the engine side of the transmission inline 20-way connector. Technician should install a test light on terminal E and V. If the test light does not light unplug the Transmission Control Module connector and check for continuity across pins 45 and 49. If there is no continuity replace the Transmission Control Module and the Input Speed Sensor. If there is continuity across pins 45 and 49 replace the Input Speed Sensor only. Technician should contact General Motors Technical Assistance Center for further assistance if the vehicle returns with the same concern and Diagnostic Trouble Code P0717 resets.

PI1154	2021-04-28. Service bulletin. Delayed 1-2 Upshift While Driving at or Below 15 Percent Throttle Condition/Concern Some customers may comment that during the first few launches after a key cycle, they experience a delayed 1-2 upshift. If the vehicle has no diagnostic codes, the delay in the 1-2 shift may be driver induced. If the vehicle has diagnostic codes, address these diagnostic codes prior to using this bulletin. On a level surface if the vehicle is launched from a stop at light throttle (less than 15%), then the throttle is closed before reaching 16 km/h (10 mph), then the throttle is opened and held to less than 15%, there could be a 1-2 upshift delay. This delay will last until the vehicle exceeds 24 km/h (15 mph) or the driver drops back to closed throttle.
