L1H 8P7 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.
ProCarManuals.com

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 the
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.

may want to buy.

Customer Assistance Information
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
order 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 1990-1993
model years.
Toll-Free Telephone Number
If 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-
yourselferl’ 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 following
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.
