SUBJECT: MODELS: Loss of Power Steering Assist – Replace Electric Power Steering Motor 2005-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt 2005 Pontiac Pursuit 2005-2006 Pontiac G4 2006 Pontiac G5 Pursuit 2007-2010 Pontiac G5 Equipped with Electric Power Steering 2005-2010 model year Chevrolet Cobalt vehicles; 2005 model year Pontiac Pursuit; 2005-2006 model year Pontiac G4; 2006 model year Pontiac G5 Pursuit; and 2007-2010 model year Pontiac G5 vehicles equipped with electric power steering. Some of these vehicles have a condition in which a sudden loss of power steering assist could occur at any time while driving the vehicle. If the power steering assist is lost, a chime will sound and a “Power Steering” message will be displayed in the Driver Information Center to inform the driver of the condition. Steering control will be maintained, as the vehicle defaults to a manual steering mode. If power steering assist is lost, it may require greater driver effort at low vehicle speeds, for example, below 15 mph (25 km/h). Unless a driver compensates for this additional effort, it may increase the risk of a crash. Typically, the next time the vehicle is started, the power steering assist will return and the “Power Steering” message will no longer be displayed. EPS Motor Replacement Procedure Note: The use of Loctite is no longer required. Loctite should not be used for any further applications. 1. Connect the Tech 2® to the vehicle and check for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). 2. Record any present DTCs on the repair order and during claim submission. 3. Clear any DTCs that are present. 4. Remove the power steering assist motor. Refer to Power Steering Assist Motor Replacement in SI. Note: For 2005 model year vehicles only: Do NOT install the o-ring between the motor assembly and the steering column assembly. The new service motor kit will include an o- ring, but DO NOT install the o-ring for 2005 model year vehicles only. 5. Install the new power steering assist motor. Refer to Power Steering Assist Motor Replacement in SI. 6. Perform Test Drive.

DESCRIPTION: The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) of some 2006 Sonata vehicles equipped with 3.3 Liter engines may be programmed to be too sensitive, causing inadvertent brake application on banked curves. To correct this condition, the ESC ECU may be reprogrammed using the Hi-Scan Pro as described in this bulletin. VEHICLES AFFECTED: ^ Model: 2006 SONATA 3.3L vehicles with ESC ^ Affected vehicle production date range: ^ Produced from May 5, 2005 through June 10, 2005 ESC ECU SPECIFICATIONS: CAUTIONS BEFORE REPROGRAMMING: 1. Perform reprogramming with the ignition key in the “ON” position. 2. Be careful not to disconnect any cables connected to the vehicle or Hi-Scan Pro during reprogramming. WARNING : ^ When reprogramming the SONATA ESC ECU, the manual reprogramming mode [error mode] is not available. ^ If ESC ECU reprogramming is interrupted during the “ESC ECU software data download” process as a result of cable disconnection, power interruption or battery discharge, the ESC ECU must be replaced. 3. Do not start the engine during reprogramming. 4. Do not turn the ignition key OFF during reprogramming. 5. When the reprogramming is completed, wait for about 20 seconds and then start the engine to confirm proper operation of the vehicle. ESC ECU REPROGRAMMING: NOTE :Verify that the vehicle was manufactured within the affected production date range and the campaign is open per the DCS interactive screen. 1. Attach the Data Link Connector (DLC) cable to the Hi-Scan Pro main body and securely tighten the two bolts. 2. Remove the system software card from the Hi-Scan Pro and insert the reprogramming software card with the new ECU program into the Hi-Scan top slot.
