Content Theft may be included in RPO PDY (Chevrolet) or PDC (Pontiac or Oldsmobile) when checking vehicle options listed on the Service Parts identification label located on the inside of the glove box door.

If these steps do not resolve the condition, please contact GM TAC for further diagnostic assistance.
