Supersession Statement
This PI was superseded to update the Models section. Please discard PIT3665D.
Condition/Concern
On vehicles with a Hydro-Boost System, customers may notice during full lock turns or near full lock turns that the brake pedal will move down or self apply.
This can be caused by the internal dump valve of the hydro-boost not seating properly due to contamination in the steering system. The hydroboost assembly is
not tolerant to certain types of contaminates that may be present in the steering system.
Recommendation/Instructions
The Hydro-Boost System is not serviceable and must be replaced.
Important: Before replacement of the Hydro-Boost System, the entire steering system (including power steering pump, lines, cooler, and gear box) must be
flushed to avoid reoccurrence.

your vehicle will have that condition. See your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
