9232oldsmobile06

NUMBER: 92-T-85

CORP.REF.NO: 239003

DATE: May 1992

SECTION : 6E3, 8A, 9K


SUBJECT:
INADVERTENT DOOR LOCK AND TRUNK ACTUATION - REPLACE REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE) RECEIVER

MODELS/YEARS:
1992 ACHIEVA


CONDITION:
Some 1992 Achieves built prior to vehicle number NM408124 with option AX3 (Remote Keyless Entry) may exhibit unwanted cycling of door lock and/or inadvertent trunk opening.

CAUSE:
The microprocessor in the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) receiver may become scrambled by a high voltage spike generated by the mini-wedge lock motors. If the Remote Keyless Entry receiver becomes scrambled, it may go into a reset process that causes a "Lock" "Unlock" Door and Trunk Cycle.

CORRECTION:
Any affected vehicle which demonstrates the above condition should have the receiver replaced with a new receiver P/N 22584554 (currently available from GMSPO). Refer to Section 9K of the applicable Service Manual for proper replacement procedure.
