The best place is to look in the TSB category in this forum. The second best is to check with one of the Techs. I don't know of any TSB Clearing house web site.


Sorry.

I don't know what number you are talking about. TSB numbers will vary based on issue date and applicability. There are several TSB's listed for various things.

TSB's are numbered and can be looked up on SI (service information) by the number. I am a Chevy Tech and have access to SI here at home. So as long as he has the actual number its easy to look up.

This is the number: 040525005


Its for a false ABS light coming on, no codes.


Dealer is telling me Chevy is supposed to be getting ECU upgrade per this TSB, but they havent gotten it yet. My damn ABS light is CONSTANTLY coming on/off and is irritating as hell. I was just curious if im being fed a line of $hit or not.

<H5>Condition</A></H5>


Some customers may comment that the ABS light, Service Brake System message comes on intermittently during initial start-up. The condition does not cause a DTC to be stored permanently.<A name=ss2-1491723><A href="http://service.gm.com/servlets/BlobShtml?ShtmlFile=1491723&amp;evc=numSrch#ss2-1491723" target="_blank">
<H5>Cause</A></H5>


The cause may be a timing issue related to the cranking / starting of the vehicles. It appears that the condition is more likely to occur on vehicles with diesel engines, though it can occur on vehicles with gasoline engines as well.<A name=ss3-1491723><A href="http://service.gm.com/servlets/BlobShtml?ShtmlFile=1491723&amp;evc=numSrch#ss3-1491723" target="_blank">
<H5>Correction</A></H5>


DO NOT REPLACE THE ABS MODULE.


DO NOT attempt to repair these vehicles at this time.


Engineering is currently working on a software fix to address this condition and dealers will be notified as soon as that fix becomes available.


General Motors encourages dealers to share this information with concerned customers.<A name=ss4-1491723><A href="http://service.gm.com/servlets/BlobShtml?ShtmlFile=1491723&amp;evc=numSrch#ss4-1491723" target="_blank">

<LI>Advise the customer that a repair is in test and validation and is due out soon. At the time the bulletin becomes available, it will be the dealer's responsibility to contact the customer. </LI>[/list]
