Warranty Coverage for Emission-Related Reprogramming Events (PCM, ECM and TCM)

2007 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn)

This bulletin is being updated to reflect the appropriate warranty coverage of non-emission related reprogramming. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 04-06-04-036A (Section 06 - Engine).
The coverage for emission-related reprogramming has the same coverage as the emission controller under the emission controller warranty - 8 years/80,000 miles (130,000 km).
Reprogramming that is not emissions-related is covered under the terms of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. (For additional information regarding labor codes for use in non-emission-related reprogramming, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 06-08-47-001B.)
Emissions-related calibration updates will be announced through a GM Technical Service Bulletin with specific guidelines of coverage for each model affected.
A special emission-related reprogramming labor operation will be used. The labor operation to be used for claims relating to emission-related reprogramming is J6353 and will only be referenced in the bulletins addressing emission-related calibrations. This labor operation must NOT be used for non-emissions-related reprogramming or for any other vehicle that is not referenced in an emission-related reprogramming technical service bulletin.
Example:
The PCM on 2004 model light duty vehicles is covered by the emission controller warranty for 8 years/80,000 miles (130,000 km). If GM released an "emission-related" calibration update for one of these vehicles, this reprogramming event would also be covered for 8 years/80,000 miles (130,000km). If GM released a driveability-related calibration update (for example, to eliminate a hesitation) for one of these vehicles, this reprogramming event would be covered for the terms of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
An emission-related calibration for medium duty and diesel applications are also covered by the emission warranty that is applicable to that vehicle's emissions controller.
Example:
The PCM on 2004 model medium duty vehicles is covered by the emission controller warranty for 5 years/50,000 miles (80,000 km). If GM released an "emission-related" calibration update for one of these vehicles, this reprogramming event would also be covered for 5 years/50,000 miles (80,000 km).
