This bulletin supersedes Dealer Technical Bulletin 88-T-11A which may be discarded. The part number for the manual transaxle PROM has been revised.

Some early-built 1988 Firenza vehicles may exhibit delayed and/or insufficient cooling with the air conditioning mode selected. This is due to the engine cooling fan not operating in the A/C mode when the outside air temperature is below 85 DEG F.

This condition can be addressed by installing the following service PROMS:

Automatic Transaxle PROM No. Manual Transaxle PROM No. ---------------------------- ------------------------- 16086129 16089817

Firenza's are currently being produced with corrected PROMs, beginning with the following VIN breakpoints:

Automatic Transaxle Manual Transaxle VIN Breakpoint VIN Breakpoint -------------- -------------- JK300676 JK306426

Use applicable labor time and operation number.

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.
