GM Engineering is attempting to determine the root cause of the above condition. Engineering has a need to
gather information on vehicles PRIOR to repair that may exhibit this condition. As a result, this information will
be used to "root cause" the customer's concern and develop/validate a field fix.
Cause
Note: The position of the O2 sensors.
There are two different conditions in which the above codes may set. One is with stock OE exhaust
components (1) and the other is with Non-OE exhaust components (2), as shown in the pictures above.
If your catalytic converters do not look like (1) shown above, the catalytic converter could be considered
suspect.
Note: Notice the location of the O2 sensors.
Important: Inspect for any aftermarket exhaust systems as well.
Correction

under this bulletin, including but not limited to handling, deploying, preparing, classifying, packaging, marking, labeling, and shipping
dangerous goods. In the event of a conflict between the procedures set forth in this bulletin and the laws that apply to your dealership, you must
