In some vehicles a false code 53 may be set repeatedly on the above vehicles when no system defects exist. If code 53 is stored in the ECM Memory, use trouble code 53 chart to determine the condition. If no failure is found or the condition no longer exists, a new PROM released for service, part number 1227001 should be installed per the procedures in the Chassis Service Manual.

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.
