SUBJECT: SERVICE MANUAL UPDATE - SECTION 8A - REVISED ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSIS FOR DIC MESSAGE

MODELS: 1995 OLDSMOBILE EIGHTY EIGHT, NINETY EIGHT WITH DIGITAL CLUSTER (U2A)

THIS BULLETIN CONTAINS A REVISION TO SECTION 8A-82 TO CLARIFY ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSIS FOR DIC MESSAGE, "COOLANT LVL SYS PROB" ON VEHICLES WITH DIGITAL CLUSTER (U2A). THE TERMINAL NUMBER CALLOUT FOR THE OIL LEVEL MODULE HAS BEEN CORRECTED AND THE RESISTANCE VALUE WHEN MEASURING FROM INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER CONNECTOR C1, TERMINAL D14 TO OIL LEVEL MODULE CONNECTOR TERMINAL 4 HAS BEEN CHANGED FROM 5 OHMS TO APPROXIMATELY 0 OHMS.

CHART "C" ON PAGE 8A-82-21 HAS BEEN UPDATED TO CYCLE THE IGNITION SWITCH WHEN USING THE J33431 I/P TESTER TO SIMULATE THE FUEL SENDER RESISTANCE TO DRIVE THE GAGE. THE OLDSMOBILE DIGITAL CLUSTER (U2A) USES A FUEL ANTISLOSH CIRCUIT WHICH NEEDS TO BE RESET IN ORDER TO GET AN IMMEDIATE READ OF THE GAGE. THIS FUEL ANTISLOSH CIRCUIT IS RESET BY CYCLING THE IGNITION SWITCH FROM OFF TO RUN.

PAGES 8A-82-21 AND 8A-82-35 ARE REVISED TO REFLECT THESE CHANGES.
