This PI was superseded to update model years and bulletin reference. Please discard PIC4741A.

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

A technician may find the Infotainment and OnStar system are inoperative when performing the PreDelivery Inspection (PDI).

Due to the extended shipping time of the Astra, the fuse for the Infotainment/radio system is moved to an empty cavity in the UHJB to lower power consumption during transit. In addition the OnStar fuse has also been moved to prevent accidental button activation during vehicle build. On early production vehicles the OnStar fuse was installed in the plant but it is now being removed starting with VIN breakpoint W08AT671085070697. The fuse puller needed to move these fuses is located in the rear zone module located on the left side of the cargo area behind the cover, between the two large connectors in the middle.
