This PI was superseded to update model years. Please discard PIT4720B.
The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.
Condition/Concern
When replacing or servicing the IPC/odometer and the exchange center is unable to program the actual mileage on the odometer or the actual mileage is
unknown, have the dealer follow the instruction below.
Recommendation/Instructions
Refer the dealer to the GM SERVICE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES MANUAL section 3.2.4 ODOMETER SERVICING
3.2.4 Odometer Servicing
Various laws require that when an odometer is serviced, repaired or replaced, the mileage indicated is to remain the same as before this service, repair or
replacement. Where the odometer cannot register the same mileage as before, the odometer shall be adjusted to read zero and a notice in writing shall be
attached to the driver's door frame of the vehicle (refer to illustration ODOMETER SERVICING LABEL).
It is the general practice of Authorized Service Centers to return repaired speedometers to their customers showing the original mileage reading on the
odometer as received. This practice will apply whether or not the odometer unit is replaced. Therefore, a notice for the vehicle door frame indicating that an
odometer has been set to zero normally will not be required.
In those unusual instances when the odometer cannot be set to the actual vehicle mileage, it must be set at zero and a label such as indicated below, must be
affixed to the driver's door frame of the vehicle by the Service Agent. The Odometer Repair Notice Label may be obtained through GMCCA (Catalog Group
8.808).
