CAMPAIGN: IDLE STOP SOLENOID JUMPER WIRE ASSEMBLY OMITTED. Chevrolet Citation 1981

For 1990-2009 cars

# CAMPAIGN: IDLE STOP SOLENOID JUMPER WIRE ASSEMBLY OMITTED

GENERAL MOTORS HAS DETERMINED THAT SOME 1981 CHEVROLET CITATIONS EQUIPPED WITH A V6 ENGINE AND MANUAL TRANSMISSION WERE ASSEMBLED WITHOUT THE REQUIRED IDLE STOP SOLENOID JUMPER WIRE (INCLUDING DIODE). WITHOUT A DIODE AND WHEN THE SOLENOID IS DE-ENERGIZED, A VOLTAGE TRANSIENT IS GENERATED IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SUFFICIENT TO "RESET" THE ECM (ENGINE COMPUTER COMMAND MODULE). THE RESET ERRONEOUSLY ACTIVATES THE "CHECK ENGINE" LAMP WHICH IS A MISLEADING INDICATION OF SYSTEM FUNCTIONING. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE AND CLUTCH SWITCHES WHICH DEACTIVATE THE IDLE STOP SOELNOID WERE IMPROPERLY WIRED (IN SERIES RATHER THAN PARALLEL). THIS CONDITION RESULTS IN LOWER ENGINE IDLE SPEED.

INVOLVED ARE CERTAIN 1981 CHEVROLET CITATIONS EQUIPPED WITH A V6 ENGINE, MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND WITHIN THE FOLLOWING VEHICLE BREAKPOINTS:

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.
