This bulletin is being revised to provide additional diagnostic information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-02-35-008A (Section 02 -- Steering).


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Condition
Some customers may comment on a shudder, noise or vibration that is felt through the steering column while making right hand turns at 5-15 mph (8-24 km/h). This condition can be duplicated by the technician. Removal of the 60 amp fuse that powers the EPS may eliminate the condition.

Correction
DO NOT REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN.

Replacement of the steering column, P/N 10394224, is NOT recommended. Steering column replacement has been proven to be ineffective in several Technical Assistance cases.





Pull the 60 amp steering fuse (1) in the underhood fuse block. If this eliminates the shudder/vibration concern, contact Technical Assistance for further information in order to repair the vehicle. If this does not eliminate the shudder/vibration, continue to diagnose the vehicle according to the diagnostics in SI.



GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these 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 your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
