Record by record
27 records state a cause or a remedy. Each record is shown as short labels in the order fault → finding the cause → correction. Press a label to narrow to the records that state it.
Component named as the cause
Work done
A ribbon is as wide as the records that state both of its ends (only the commonest are drawn). A record that names several symptoms or components runs through each. Orange is records that say the fault came back or was not fixed. Results come from owners’ reports only; one that does not say is “result not stated”. None of this is a likelihood of a cause or a rate at which work succeeds.

Odometer Accuracy Verification
1Fault
- The customer says the odometer appears inaccurate compared with a known distance traveled.
2Finding the cause
Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)
- On a straight road over a mile long, mark a GPS waypoint when the odometer (not the trip odometer) rolls over a digit, take a reading when it rolls to the next digit, and compare the actual distance with the odometer.
- Confirm that the original size tires and wheels are fitted and that the axle ratio is as specified on the SPID label and has not been modified.
- If those are correct and the odometer is beyond the limit, look at the relationship between the VSS and the reluctor on the transmission output shaft, and inspect the associated wiring and connectors closely.
3Correction
Repair
- Finally, it may be necessary to exchange the instrument panel cluster (IPC) for a replacement unit.
Caution
- A tolerance of plus or minus 4% is generally allowed, but each dealer must know the local requirements before verifying an odometer.
- Do not compare with another vehicle or with the trip odometer; expressway mileage markers are typically not accurate enough either.

While in the United States they are unable to receive Turn-by-Turn directions. Due to the existing cellular provider not having roaming agreements in areas outside of Canada to support transmitting of the packet data required for Turn-By-Turn feature to operate. The customer has 3 options while traveling through the United Sates. First if the vehicle is equipped with a navigation radio they can request a "Destination Download" to the vehicle. Second if the customer uses the OnStar RemoteLink app they can send the directions to the vehicle. The third option would be to have the vehicle loaded with a ?500 phone number? The customer will no longer be able to use their Hands Free Calling minutes when the new 500 phone number is loaded. If a customer chooses to restore Hands Free Calling in the future a new phone number will be assigned to the vehicle; previous phone numbers are not available.
