Pontiac regularly sends its dealers useful
service bulletins about Pontiac products.
Pontiac monitors product performance
in
the field. We then prepare bulletins for
servicing our products better. Now, you
can get these bulletins too.
Bulletins cover various subjects. Some
pertain to the proper use and care of your
vehicle. Some describe costly repairs.
Others describe inexpensive repairs
which,
if done on time with the latest
parts, may avoid future costly repairs.
Some bulletins tell a technician how to
repair a new or unexpected condition.
Others describe a quicker way to
fix your
vehicle. They can help a technician
service your vehicle better.
Most bulletins apply to conditions
affecting a small number
of cars or trucks.
Your Pontiac dealer or a qualified
technician may have to determine
if a
specific bulletin applies to your vehicle.

Individual PSP’s
If you don’t want to buy all the PSP’s
issued by Pontiac for all models
in that
model year, you can buy individual PSP’s,
such as those which may pertain
to a
particular model. To do this,
you will first
need to see our index of PSP’s.
It provides
a variety of information. Here’s what
you’ll find
in the index and how you can
get one:
What You’ll Find in the
Index:
A list of all PSP’s published by
Pontiac
in a model year (1990 or
later). PSP’s covering all models
of
Pontiac vehicles are listed in the same
index.
Ordering information
so you can buy
the specific PSP‘s you may want.
Price information for the PSP‘s you
may want
to buy.
How You Can Get an
Index:
Indexes are published periodically. Most
of the PSP’s which could potentially
apply to the most recent Pontiac models
will be listed in the most recent
publication for that model year. This
means you may want
to wait until the end
of the model year before ordering an index,
if you are interested in buying
PSP‘s pertaining to a current model year
car or truck.
Some PSP’s pertaining to a particular
model year vehicle may be published in
later years, and these would be listed
in
the later year’s index. When you order an
index for a model year that is not over
yet, we’ll send you the most recently
published issue. Check the ordering form
for indexes for earlier model years.
Cut
out the order form, fill it out, and mail
it in. We will then see to it that an index is
mailed to you. There is no charge for
indexes
for the 1990- I994 model years.
Toll-Free Telephone
Number
[f you want an additional order form for
an index, just call toll-free and we’ll be
happy to send
you one. Automated
recording equipment
will take your name
and mailing address. The number to call
is 1-800-551-4123.
A VERY IMPORTANT REMINDER:
These PSP’s are meant for technicians.
They are not meant for the
”do-it-yourselfer.” Technicians have the
equipment, tools, safety instructions, and
know-how
to do a job quickly and safely.
Pontiac Service
Publications
You can get these by using the order
form. Pontiac Division Service Manuals
are intended for use by professional,
qualified technicians. Attempting repairs
or service without the appropriate
training, tools, and equipment could cause
injury
to you or others and damage to
your vehicle that may cause
it not to
operate properly.
