| Subject: | Driver Information Center (DIC) Messages Missing (Reprogram BCM) |
| Models: | 2004-2005 Chevrolet Malibu |
| 2005 Pontiac G6 |
This bulletin is being updated to provide clarification to enable the Remote Start. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 05-08-49-011 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Customers that have had the BCM replaced on their vehicle between October 2004 and March 2005 may comment on missing DIC messages. The messages that are not displayed are:
| • | Trunk Ajar |
| • | Ice Possible |
| • | Door Ajar |
| • | Low Fuel |
| • | Low Washer Fluid |
| • | Change Engine Oil |
Cause
The DIC messages were inadvertently turned off due to the software used to set-up the BCM.
Correction
PROGRAM THE BCM. DO NOT REPLACE THE RADIO OR BCM.
Important: TIS version 3.5 (broadcast to dealers March 21, 2005) or later must be loaded into the Techline terminal in order to program the BCM.
The BCM can be programmed using SPS (Service Programming System) Pass-Thru Programming. Select the BCM -- DIC Message Enable from the "supported controller" section.
If the vehicle is equipped with Remote Start, after the BCM is programmed, verify that the remote start feature is still enabled. If necessary, re-enable the remote start.
| • | 2005 Model Year Vehicles -- Use SPS Pass-Thru Reprogramming to enable the remote start. |
| • | 2004 Model Year Vehicles -- The remote start must be enabled using the Tech 2®. |
Important: When performing diagnostics and/or set up procedures on future vehicles, you must have, at a minimum, Tech 2® software version 25.002 loaded on your Tech 2®.
