G-1642582017-08-15. Service bulletin. POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:TORQUE CONVERTER. 13120A - Service Update (revised population). The torque converter clutch solenoid in the TECHM can stick due to debris in the transmission. When the vehicle is at the end of a coast-down, as the vehicle is coming to a stop, a stuck solenoid will fail to release the torque converter clutch. This keeps the engine directly connected to the driven wheels. As the vehicle stops, the engine speed will be pulled down below normal idle speed and the engine may stall. The vehicle can be immediately restarted and driven. Dealers are to reprogram the transmission control module with a revised calibration to correct this condition.

PIP4112M2017-08-15. Service bulletin. POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician of a complaint of a sag or hesitation when accelerating. The concern is present when coasting at low speeds of less than 15 miles per hour and then aggressively applying the throttle, or after making a hard stop followed by an aggressive throttle. This is considered normal operation of the vehicle the throttle is delayed and opened slowly up to .7 seconds to help minimize driveline lash and clunking or will have approximately .5 seconds of zero torque to allow the transmission to shift to first gear.

PIT5076C2017-08-15. Service bulletin. POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM); EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL; STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM. This Preliminary Information communication advises the technician to insure that global diagnostic service 2 diagnostic packages are up to date prior to learning the steering angle sensor for a diagnostic trouble code C710 symptom code 71 set in the electronic brake control module or the power steering control module. When rechecking for diagnostic trouble codes a U0074 U0077, U0180D, U01293, U0126, U0125, C0186, C0196, or C0287 are set and will not clear diagnose the Chassis bus. If no fault is found in the chassis bus check for an multiple diagnostic interface to data link connector issue. Technician is to try a different multiple diagnostic interface cable and attempt the steering angle sensor learn again following service information instruction then try to clear the codes again.
PIP5209A2017-08-15. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING; POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM). This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician about vehicles that have Diagnostic Trouble Code P00C6 and/or P228C set. Technician will need to inspect the terminals at the Engine Control Module for fit and tension as well as the crimp to wire connection. Terminals to inspect in the ECM are connector x2 terminals 3, 18, and 19 for the fuel rail pressure sensor. Also connector x3 terminals 16 and 32 for the high pressure fuel pump.
PIP4112N2017-08-15. Service bulletin. POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION; POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:TORQUE CONVERTER. This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician of a complaint of a sag or hesitation when accelerating. The concern is present when coasting at low speeds of less than 15 miles per hour and then aggressively applying the throttle, or after making a hard stop followed by an aggressive throttle.

G-1930172017-02-25. Service bulletin. POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. 13120C - SERVICE UPDATE (REVISED EXPIRATION DATE). THIS BULLETIN PROVIDES A SERVICE PROCEDURE TO REPROGRAM THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, EQUIPPED WITH 6-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SOLENOID IN THE TECHM CAN STICK DUE TO DEBRIS IN THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT THE END OF A COAST-DOWN, AS THE VEHICLE IS COMING TO A STOP, A STUCK SOLENOID WILL FAIL TO RELEASE THE TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH. THIS KEEPS THE ENGINE DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE DRIVEN WHEELS. AS THE VEHICLE STOPS, THE ENGINE SPEED WILL BE PULLED DOWN BELOW NORMAL IDLE SPEED AND THE ENGINE MAY STALL. THE VEHICLE CAN BE IMMEDIATELY RESTARTED AND DRIVEN. THE REPROGRAMMING WILL INSTALL A REVISED CALIBRATION TO CORRECT THIS CONDITION.
