Subject:Daytime Running Lamps (DRL's) Inoperative after BCM Replacement

Models:2008 Pontiac Solstice



The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

Condition/Concern:

A condition has been identified by Engineering where the DRL's will be inoperative after replacing the BCM (for any reason) It's been identified that Tech 2 software versions 27.007 through 28.005 will turn off the DRL's during BCM programming.

Recommendation/Instructions:

Verify if vehicles with DRL's turned off were programmed with Tech 2 software versions 27.007 through 28.005. If not, root cause DRL's off with service manual diagnostics.

Before the June 23, 2008 Tech 2 software release (version 28.006), when replacing the BCM, call TCSC (800) 828-6860 to get a VCI number and the utility file to set-up the replacement with the correct software (DRL's turned on).

Important: The new Tech 2 software (version 28.006) that will correct this issue will be available on June 23, 2008.

Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
