Transport Mode Feature, also known as Logistics mode, is used to increase the 12V Battery stand time of the vehicle during transit and or long period of stand time at the dealerships. It is used to put modules on the vehicle into a low power mode, reducing the electrical parasitic load on the battery when the vehicle is standing for long period of time. In this mode, stand time can be extended up to 70 days by reducing vehicle drain down to as low as 10 mA depending on vehicle and content. Copyright 2024 General Motors LLC. All Rights Reserved.

GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information. WE SUPPORT VOLUNTARY TECHNICIAN CERTIFICATION
