Section 1
General Information On AC-Delco Repair/Exchange Programs
Exchange Parts Availability/Pre-Exchange Units: ----------------------------------------------- AC-Delco Service Centers identified in this DSIB will have a limited supply of exchange parts available. Refer to Table 1. The centers are authorized to do "pre-exchanges", that is sending an exchange unit to the dealership in advance of receiving a problem unit for repair. Prior approval of the owner to accept a repaired or exchange unit must be obtained and noted on the repair order.
Service of the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint DERM and of CDM radios (1990-1991 Allante radio chassis, CD player used in 1990-1991 Eldorados and Sevilles and DeVilles and Fleetwoods) will be only by pre-exchange through one of the centers listed in Table 1. Refer to Section 2, Radio, and Section 4, SIR DERM.
Before calling a Repair Center to request exchange parts, begin completing an AC-Delco form 1078. The following information will be required at the initial phone call:
1. Cadillac dealer code (when ordering Cadillac exchange parts).
2. Dealer name, shipping address, and phone number.
3. Whether exchange is for a vehicle in or out of warranty.
4. Part number and description of needed part.
5. Repair Order number.
6. Vehicle I.D. number.
7. Delivery Date and Mileage.
8. For BCM EEPROM orders and NVM chip orders, have exact mileage available and have export options available. (U.S./Sweden-Norway/Canada/Leaded Fuel/Japan)
Locating Exchange Parts:
If your local radio or cluster shop does not have a unit available for pre-exchange, call other shops listed in Section 1, Table 1. As independent businesses, the shops may not refer a dealership to another shop for service when an exchange unit is not available. It is the dealership's responsibility to find a needed exchange unit by calling first the local shop, then others on the list.
- All shops are authorized to ship to any Cadillac dealer.
- All shops are required to deliver units by next day service to dealerships in cases where the shop is not within driving distance. The only exceptions to this rule are non-CDM radios which can be repaired at any radio shop listed in AC-Delco publication SD-2. In the case of non-CDM radios, exchange shops are authorized to ship next day service at dealer request, as needed, to satisfy a Cadillac customer.
Beginning immediately AC-Delco will provide a service to help dealerships locate instrument cluster and display exchange parts. The service will apply to the following Cadillac components:
- C-Car analog and digital clusters.
- E/K IPC (digital cluster)
- E/K CCDIC (climate control/driver information center)
- Brougham 1990 and 1991 cluster
In the event that an exchange part is not available from. the nearest AC-Delco Service Center listed in Cadillac Dealer Service Information Bulletin 91-1-1:
1. Have available the name and number of the AC-Delco shop which you initially contacted for parts. Only the shops listed in DSIB 91-1-1 will have exchange stock available.
2. Call (313) 974-0497 between the hours of 7:30 AM and 4:30 PM Eastern Daylight Time.
3. Advise the operator of the part name and number needed, the AC-Delco shop initially contacted, the dealership name, address, and telephone number.
4. The operator will locate the nearest Service Center with an available exchange unit and the Service Center will advise the dealer when delivery can be expected.
Whenever additional service parts assistance is required, contact your nearest AC-Delco regional office as indicated on page 2 of AC-Delco publication SD-2.
Customer complaint information provided to the shops by dealerships is critical to the shops' ability to correctly repair returned units. Good customer complaint information is as important to a repair shop as it is to a dealer technician. Dealerships can help to assure proper repair of radios, clusters, and SIP, DERM by providing complete and accurate information about the customer complaint and the reason that the cluster or radio is being returned for repair.
AC-Delco Exchange process/Cadillac Warranty Claim Procedure:
Use the following procedure for those components listed on page 1 which are marked with 1:
1. Remove the unit requiring repair from the vehicle; complete all red shaded areas of the AC-Delco Warranty Repair Claim (ACD-1078A). Send the unit and all five copies of the completed form to the authorized AC-Delco center chosen from Table 1, or from SD-2. ALL INFORMATION EXCEPT FOR THE DEALER'S SIGNATURE MUST BE PRINTED LEGIBLY OR TYPED.
2. The repaired unit will be returned to the dealership with the dealership copy of the AC-Delco form, properly completed. In cases where the dealership has received a pre-exchange unit, the completed form will be mailed after return of the inoperative unit to the Repair Center.
3. A Cadillac warranty claim is to be submitted for the R&R of the unit. An additional .2 hour sublet administrative allowance will be paid if applied for when components are repaired under warranty by an AC-Delco Service Center or another qualified service outlet. This additional time should be entered in the "other labor hours" column of the Cadillac warranty claim.
4. The dealer copy of the ACD-1078A and the freight receipt or shipping invoice are to be retained in accordance with requirements detailed in the current Cadillac Service Policies and Procedures Manual.
5. If the repair is done by the dealer, or sublet to other than an AC-Delco Service Center, credit will be allowed on a Cadillac Warranty Claim. Allowances for such repairs are included in the Labor Time Guide. Sublet repair charges should be included on the claim and the sublet bill retained in the usual manner.

Unusual Radio Interference Conditions/Radio System Sublet Work
It is the responsibility of the dealership to diagnose and repair radio system problems such as interference conditions caused by other components on the vehicle. Complete audio system diagnosis can be found in Section 9A, Audio Systems, in the 1991 Service Information Manuals. The 1991 Section 9A contains E&C data bus diagnosis for Brougham and Allante, diagnosis for switch pops and noises, and diagnosis for features inoperative such as clock, dimming, audio, cassette problems, or CD player problems.
In unusual cases where the dealership has been unable to determine the cause of a problem, it may be necessary to sublet the repairs to an AC-Delco Service Center. The dealership should make the Service Information Sections 9A and 8A-150/151 available to the Repair Center for sublet diagnosis.
The dealership will be responsible for the cost of repairs made by the AC-Delco Service Center. Prior authorization should be obtained for such repairs before the sublet repair costs are submitted on a warranty claim.
Cadillac recommends use of the shops listed in Table 1 for all repairs of radios and any radio sublet work. The shops listed are stocked with limited numbers of all 1991 Cadillac radio part numbers and have processes in place to repair or exchange all 1991 Cadillac radios and SIR DERM.
Dealer Installed Radios:
Delco radios that are dealer installed or dealer upgraded at a later date are covered under either the 90 day/4000 mile parts warranty or for the remainder of the vehicle's original New Car Limited Warranty Basic Coverage, whichever is greater.
Bose Amplifiers and Speaker Enclosures:
Bose amplifiers and speaker enclosures are no longer repaired under warranty through AC-Delco Centers; obtain parts from GMSPO or authorized AC-Delco Repair Centers. Refer to DSIB 89-1-36 for 1989 part numbers. Refer to the appropriate 1990 and 1991 parts books for part numbers.
Warranty Claim Submission:
For radios, submit a warranty claim in the normal manner without a parts amount as the part is provided to the dealership by the exchange center. Include the following information: Other Sublet Labor Labor Labor Material Radio R&R Operation Hours Hours Towing

On in-warranty repairs a warranty claim can be submitted to Cadillac for labor only listing the applicable Labor Operation. Dealerships may claim a .2 hour administrative allowance as "other labor hours" and may claim ship- ping charges as "sublet, materials, towing". Parts should not be listed on the claim since a no-charge replacement is being provided by the Repair Center.
Diagnostic Energy Reserve Module
The DERM for 1989 DeVilles and Fleetwoods (with AJ3) and all 1990-1991 DeVilles, Fleetwoods, Eldorados, Sevilles, and Allantes is to be serviced by exchange with one of the centers listed in Table 1. An adequate quantity of DERM exchange stock has been provided so that all DERM warranty service can be performed by a next day pre-exchange.
To obtain exchange parts use theprocedures described in Section 1 of this DSIB. The DERM exchange procedure is unchanged for 1991.
The same part number is used for all 1989-1991 Cadillac SIR applications. The DERM part numbers are as follows:
GMSPO Production Part Number Part Number

DeVille and Fleetwood Digital Cluster and NVM Chip
The digital instrument cluster in 1985-1989 DeVilles and Fleetwoods stores the season odometer mileage in a Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) chip. The cluster and the NVM chip are serviced separately. If cluster replacement is necessary, the NVM chip must be transferred by the dealer from the inoperative cluster to the replacement cluster. Refer to Figure 6-1 for NVM chip location.
In mid-1990 model year production, the NVM chip for cluster P/N 25089359 was changed to a soldered-in (NOT separately serviceable) part. All future 1990-1991 service parts from the Repair Centers will contain an NVM chip.
When servicing 1989-1991 models equipped with SIR, the cluster/NVM assembly must be ordered when an NVM chip or cluster replacement is required. Clusters with removable NVM chips may still be transferred between cars to service critical customer cases, and the new clusters with soldered-in NVM chips may be used in cars originally equipped with socketed NVM chips.
Replacement clusters may be obtained through any of the AC-Delco Service Centers listed in Section 1 of this bulletin using the following part numbers: Digital Cluster Year/Model Application Part Number ------------ --------------------------- --------------- 1985-1986 C All 25084596 1987 C With leading odometer zeros 25081202* 1987-1988 C Without leading odometer zeros 25085449 1989 C Without SIR 25088537 1989 C With SIR (option code AJB) 25089359 1990 c All 25089359 1991 c All 16140446

Eldorado/Seville/Allante BCM EEPROM (Odometer Chip)
The BCM in 1986-1991 Eldorados, Sevilles, and Allantes use two types of PROM's; an EPROM and an EEPROM. Refer to the appropriate Service Information Manual, Section 8D2, to distinguish between EPROM and EEPROM locations inside the BCM.
The EPROM retains information pertaining to those systems and options controlled by the BCM (i.e., the ECC system, lighting, and displays). The BCM EPROM is serviceable and interchangeable with PROM's from the same model vehicles. New EPROM's are available from GMSPO.
The EEPROM stores information specific to the vehicle. This information includes the VIN, season odometer mileage, body style, and some option content information. Unlike the EPROM, the EEPROM may not be transferred from one vehicle to another. Transferring EEPROM's between cars will result in incorrect odometer readings and possibly incorrect CCDIC messages.
Replacement EEPROM's may be obtained only by calling one of the following AC-Delco Service Centers:
Service Center Service Center Location Name ---------------- ------------------ California Auto Electronic Radio Illinois D & B Auto Radio, Inc. Florida Techni-Car Pennsylvania H & R Radio
Refer to Table 1 for Service Center phone numbers and addresses.
Replacement EEPROM's should be shipped to the dealer within 24 hours if the Service Center is called before 2:00 PM. The following information must be given to the Service Center when calling to request a replacement EEPROM:
1 . VIN 2. Is the vehicle U.S., Canada, Sweden-Norway, Japan, or Leaded Fuel export? 3 . Is the vehicle a two or four door? 4. Exact mileage 5. Dealer code, name, mailing address, and phone number
SEE PAGE 2 OF THIS BULLETIN FOR OTHER INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR AC-DELCO EXCHANGES.
In the event the exact mileage is not known, a replacement EEPROM may be obtained with either zero miles or the most recent known mileage. An EEPROM with zero mileage should only be requested when the vehicle mileage is not accurately known. An odometer replacement sticker with the approximate mileage must be installed on the driver's door when installing an EEPROM with zero miles. In some cases, the mileage may be read from the failed EEPROM by the Repair Center or Delco Electronics, if necessary.
The replacement EEPROM will be shipped to the dealer with an ACD-1078A claim form originated by the Service Center. This form must be completed by the dealer and returned to the Service Center with the replaced EEPROM. One copy of the claim form should be retained and attached to the R.O. The remaining forms must be returned to the Service Center with the replaced EEPROM.
- Failure to return the replaced EEPROM with the claim form will result in a $200 core charge. - Zones will be notified of any EEPROM's not returned within 60 days. - All returned EEPROM's are checked for proper mileage and the results reported to Cadillac.
Warranty Claim Submission:
For warranty purposes use Labor Operation N480 1, EEPROM or EPROM replacement at published time for applicable model year. For EEPROM, a warranty claim should be submitted to Cadillac for labor only. Dealerships may claim a .2 hour administrative allowance as "other labor hours" for EEPROM exchanges and may claim shipping charges for return of the inoperative EEPROM as "sublet, materials, towing".
Cimarron Digital (1985-1988) and Allante Digital and Analog Cluster
On 1988 and 1989 carts digital clusters were a no-cost option. The 1990 and 1991 cars have digital cluster as a customer-pay option on the soft top model (6VS) and as a standard feature on the hard top (6VR). The hard top mode can be retrofit with an analog cluster by the dealership almost at cost due to the difference in core charge for the digital and part cost for the analog. (The digital core payment from VDO-Yazaki will, in most cases, pay for labor and the analog part.) If a customer wants a digital cluster installed into a soft top model, the cost may not be charged to warranty.
Replacement instrument clusters may be obtained from VDO-Yazaki using the following procedure:
1. Call the VDO-Yazaki Service Center at (703)665-2446, -2447, or -2448 and order the appropriate part number listed below:
