Condition
Important: If the customer did not bring their vehicle in for an issue that is diagnosed as being caused by the BCM, DO NOT proceed with this bulletin.

Correction
DO NOT REPLACE THE BCM.
GM Engineering is attempting to determine the root cause of BCM replacements. If the diagnosis leads to the replacement of the BCM, DO NOT REPLACE THE BCM. Engineering is requesting specific information be documented on the repair order and communicated to GM. Once the necessary information is obtained, the technician should contact the PQC. The PQC will establish a technical assistance case to document the information.
