SPECIAL PROCEDURE FOR ABS VI CONTROLLERS (1991 'N' VEHICLES):

IN ORDER TO OBTAIN THE BEST POSSIBLE NEW PRODUCT INFORMATION AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, A SPECIAL PROCEDURE IS REQUIRED TO ORDER AN EXCHANGE ABS VI CONTROLLER FOR 1991 'N' VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE NEW ABS VI SYSTEM. A TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE CASE NUMBER WILL BE REQUIRED BEFORE ANY A/C DELCO EXCHANGE CENTER WILL ACCEPT AN ORDER FOR AN ABS VI CONTROLLER. THIS REQUIREMENT FOR A T.A.S. CASE NUMBER DOES NOT APPLY TO ORDERS FOR EXCHANGE UNITS FOR ABS III CONTROLLERS USED ON 1989-91 'W' VEHICLES.

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.
