Anti-Lock System Diagnostic Procedure
When an Anti-Lock System condition is encountered, refer to the diagnostics and service procedures in Section 5E of the 1986 Pontiac Service Manual. These procedures should be used to determine which component in the Anti-Lock system must be replaced. If a malfunctioning component is isolated, determine if the component is listed on the exchange parts list above. If the part is serviced through WDDGM, use normal parts ordering procedures.
Obtaining an Exchange Component

The TAC engineer will then determine which component should be exchanged and will make shipping arrangements. Exchange components will be shipped fastest way at no charge, usually the same day, direct from the source.

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.
