FALSE CODE 32 -CHECK ELECT. VACUUM REG. VALVE

VEHICLES AFFECTED: SOME 1987 HB EQUIPPED WITH 3.8L (VIN CODE 3) AND CANADIAN EMISSIONS SYSTEM (OPTION NM5)

Some vehicles built prior to March 1987 may experience an intermittent "Service Engine Soon" light with a stored false code 32.

If this condition is experienced on a vehicle when the basic engine, controls and systems are performing properly as verified by currently published service and diagnostic procedures, it may be necessary to install a new Electronic Vacuum Regulator Valve (E.V.R.V.), part number 25532523.

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.
