90 08 192012016/2
December 8, 2008.
Supersedes Technical Service Bulletin Group 90 number 06-05 dated August 4, 2006 for reasons listed below.
Affected Vehicles
90 Clock is Incorrect After Standing Long Periods
Condition
The clock displays the incorrect time after standing a long period of time.
Technical Background
The clock may reset when the vehicle stands for a long time when the ignition is switched off, the headlight switch is not switched to the "0" off position, and the car is locked. This is due to a production change when the parking light warning light was removed from the Instrument Cluster.
Production Solution
Implemented a new software in the Instrument Cluster (J285).
Service
- Vehicles with Instrument Cluster (J285) SW Level 0300
Only Coding must be changed
a. Select: Vehicle Self Diagnosis >> 17 - Dash Panel Insert >> 07 - Code Control Unit
b. Change the last digit in existing code from XXXX3 to XXXX8.
Tip: Write down original coding before clearing it and do NOT change the numbers represented above by an X.
Example:
Code 33043 must be changed to 33048
- Vehicles with Instrument Cluster (J285) SW Level 0400
- Update the 17 - Instrument Cluster Control Module (J285) via SVM using code to SW Level 0420 (or higher) SVM Action Code: NA8P90AC02
