| PIP4568Q | 2017-08-15. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:OTHER FUEL TYPES:TURBO/SUPERCHARGER. This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician that some vehicles may have a Service Engine Soon lamp, engine misfire on cylinder 1, 4, 6, or 7 and/or tick noise. Technician will follow service information diagnosis first. If service information diagnosis does not isolate the cause of this concern perform a cylinder deactivation active fuel management system compression test in service information. If the running compression of the misfiring cylinder stays below 25 Pounds per Square Inch regardless of the active fuel management solenoid being commanded on or off, an active fuel management lifter is mechanically collapsed/stuck or unlocking as soon as the engine is started. Replace all active fuel management lifters, and all plastic lifter guides. Also perform the cylinder deactivation active fuel management Valve Lifter Oil Manifold Diagnosis and Testing in Service Information. If it isolates a concern with the Valve Lifter Oil Manifold, replace it and reevaluate the concern. The active fuel management lifters can also be monitored for proper operation by carefully inspecting the cylinder 1, 4, 6, and 7 rockers and valves while cranking or briefly and safely running the engine with the valve covers removed. If the valve or valves of an active fuel management cylinder stop moving while doing this test, the active fuel management lifter is causing the concern. For 2008-2009 Full Size Truck/SUV or a 2007-2009 Chevrolet Tahoe with the Police Package reprogram the Engine Control Module. On the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8, 2010-2011 Camaro, and 2007-2010 Full Size Trucks with active fuel management, also determine if the active fuel management pressure relief valve shield that is listed in the latest version of 10-06-01-008 has ever been installed. On passenger cars with the LS4 engine, determine if the updated oil pan gasket that is listed in the latest version of 11-06-01-007 has been installed. |

| PIP4919A | 2017-08-15. Service bulletin. ENGINE. This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician about vehicles that may have black smoke on a cold start. A dual-pulse injection strategy is utilized during engine cold start to reduce the time required to bring the catalytic converter up to operating temperature. This split injection strategy lasts for about 60 seconds on cold start. This process may cause the customer to see increased black smoke during cold start and should be considered normal. |
| PIP5169 | 2017-08-15. Service bulletin. ENGINE. This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician about vehicles that are setting Diagnostic Trouble Code P0300 after engine repairs. Technician will need to ensure that injector connectors for cylinder 5-7 and 6-8 are not crossed. |
| PIP5168B | 2017-08-15. Service bulletin. ENGINE. This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician on the steps to diagnose and repair vehicles that may have a no crank concern. Technician will need to check the valve train for movement when the engine is cranked. If the valve train is not moving while the crankshaft is moving the front cover will need to be removed to inspect for a sheared cam sprocket locator pin. If the cam sprocket locator pin has sheared, replace the engine assembly. If the valve train is rotating during inspection, disconnect the Camshaft Position sensor and check if the engine will start. If the engine starts front cover will need to be removed to inspect for a sheared cam sprocket locator pin. If the cam sprocket locator pin has sheared, replace the engine assembly. If the engine does not start with the Camshaft Position sensor disconnected the follow published ?Engine Cranks But Does Not Run? diagnosis in Service Information. Also perform an Engine Compression Test and Cylinder Leakage Test in Service Information documents all results. If the Service Information procedures above isolate an engine mechanical concern then removed to inspect for a sheared cam sprocket locator pin. If the cam sprocket locator pin has sheared, replace the engine assembly. |
| PIP5180 | 2017-08-15. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM. This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician about vehicles that have hard start, extended crank, or black smoke from the exhaust when starting. Technician will need to perform fuel quality test, spark test, and a compression test. Technician should also install a vacuum gauge prior to cold start and watch needle for signs of a sticking valve. |

| PIP4568R | 2017-03-14. Service bulletin. POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION; ENGINE; EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY. THIS PRELIMINARY INFORMATION COMMUNICATION PROVIDES INFORMATION TO THE TECHNICIAN THAT SOME VEHICLES MAY HAVE A SERVICE ENGINE SOON LAMP, ENGINE MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 1, 4, 6, OR 7 AND/OR TICK NOISE. TECHNICIAN WILL FOLLOW SERVICE INFORMATION DIAGNOSIS FIRST. IF SERVICE INFORMATION DIAGNOSIS DOES NOT ISOLATE THE CAUSE OF THIS CONCERN PERFORM A CYLINDER DEACTIVATION ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM COMPRESSION TEST IN SERVICE INFORMATION. IF THE RUNNING COMPRESSION OF THE MISFIRING CYLINDER STAYS BELOW 25 POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH REGARDLESS OF THE ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT SOLENOID BEING COMMANDED ON OR OFF, AN ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT LIFTER IS MECHANICALLY COLLAPSED/STUCK OR UNLOCKING AS SOON AS THE ENGINE IS STARTED. REPLACE ALL ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT LIFTERS, AND ALL PLASTIC LIFTER GUIDES. ALSO PERFORM THE CYLINDER DEACTIVATION ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT VALVE LIFTER OIL MANIFOLD DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING IN SERVICE INFORMATION. IF IT ISOLATES A CONCERN WITH THE VALVE LIFTER OIL MANIFOLD, REPLACE IT AND REEVALUATE THE CONCERN. THE ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT LIFTERS CAN ALSO BE MONITORED FOR PROPER OPERATION BY CAREFULLY INSPECTING THE CYLINDER 1, 4, 6, AND 7 ROCKERS AND VALVES WHILE CRANKING OR BRIEFLY AND SAFELY RUNNING THE ENGINE WITH THE VALVE COVERS REMOVED. IF THE VALVE OR VALVES OF AN ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT CYLINDER STOP MOVING WHILE DOING THIS TEST, THE ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT LIFTER IS CAUSING THE CONCERN. FOR 2008-2009 FULL SIZE TRUCK/SUV OR A 2007-2009 CHEVROLET TAHOE WITH THE POLICE PACKAGE REPROGRAM THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE. ON THE 2008-2009 PONTIAC G8, 2010-2011 CAMARO, AND 2007-2010 FULL SIZE TRUCKS WITH ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT, ALSO DETERMINE IF THE ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE SHIELD THAT IS LISTED IN THE LATEST VERSION OF 10-06-01-008 HAS EVER BEEN INSTALLED.
