Technical Service Bulletins

[montana_GX]

I've been doing some research on a problem with my alero, and I came across a TSB put out by GM on APR 1, 2004. Well actually, I could only read a small piece of it, and i would like to read the whole thing. Does anyone on here know how to get ahold TSB's from GM??? I've looked online and everywhere i check wants me to pay for them. Will a dealership let me see one if i ask?? IF ANYONE ON HERE WORKS FOR A DEALER AND WANTS TO HELP the TSB number is 040604024. The NHTSA ID is #10012634, and it starts with "the pcm will not properly communicate......." that's all i get.

thanks for ANY help in this...

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.
