ISSUE

Some vehicles equipped with a 3.8L engine may exhibit a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illuminated with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0442. Vehicles equipped with a 4R70W automatic transmission may also exhibit a slip/bump on the 1-2 shift or a harsh 2-3 shift at hot operational temperatures. This may be caused by the calibration of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).





Obtain an Authorized Modifications Decal (FPS 8262 - obtainable through DOES II, 25/pkg) and list the date, dealer number, and summary of modifications performed. Select a prominent place adjacent to the Vehicle Emission Control Information Decal suitable for installing the Authorized Modifications Decal. Clean the area, install the decal, and cover it with a clear plastic decal shield.

ACTION





Repair any DTCs as necessary. If normal diagnostics fail to identify a concern, reprogram the PCM using the Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS) as necessary. Refer to the PCM Calibration Information Chart shown.
