ABS TELLTALE ON DUE TO DECK LID RELEASE-REPL. ACTUATOR

SUBJECT: ABS TELLTALE ILLUMINATION DUE TO DECK LID RELEASE SWITCH BEING DEPRESSED (REPLACE DECK LID RELEASE ACTUATOR)

MODELS AFFECTED: 1991-1992 DE VILLES AND FLEETWOODS

This bulletin supersedes T-92-28 which should be discarded. This bulletin is being revised to add 1992 model year and part number 16625144.

Some 1991-1992 DeVilles and Fleetwoods may experience a condition of the amber ABS telltale coming on after the deck lid release switch has been depressed. This condition is caused by a transient in the vehicle's electrical system created by the permanent magnet motor and mechanical switch used to release the deck lid.

To repair this condition replace the deck lid release actuator, P/N 16625144.

Parts are currently available from GMSPO.

For warranty purposes use Labor Operation R4020 at .3 hour to replace the deck lid release actuator.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those 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 a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
