Summary
This service bulletin provides a procedure to install a PCV heater or a charge air cooler to correct the turbo charger system from freezing causing cold weather performance issues.
Condition
Some customers may comment that when driving in extremely cold weather conditions (-18°C or less / 0°F or less), their vehicle experiences one or several of the following conditions:
- Loss of power.
- Smoke out the tail pipe.
- Hesitation on acceleration.
- Stalling condition.
- Burning oil odor possibly caused by oil leak.
- May also notice a Malfunction Indicator Lamp illuminated.
- After driving for a period of time, the driveability issues seem to diminish.
- Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Illuminated.
This condition may also cause an increase in crankcase pressure, creating oil leaks at seals and gaskets.
The technician may find one or more of the following DTCs set:
- P0299
- P0234
- P2227
- P00C7
Cause
This condition may be caused by one or more of the following:
- Plugged crank case vent tube from ice forming in the tube during very cold weather conditions.
- Ice accumulating in the intake manifold forming and blocking the PCV passage in the cylinder head.
- Ice accumulation in the charge air cooler, restricting air flow to the throttle body.
Correction
Important: The PCV heater parts are only to be used in northern states or provinces where temperatures are -18°C or less / 0°F or less and for critical customers only.
Important: The DTCs and symptoms above are not exclusively related to freezing/icing conditions. Only follow this bulletin when the condition is directly correlated with extreme cold of -18°C or less / 0°F or less. System leaks should always be ruled out first for P0299. Signs of moisture will always be present in the CAC system and are not a reliable indicator of freezing/icing.
Note: U.S. vehicles are NOT built with the revised CAC or heated PCV bypass system. To determine which CAC is installed in the vehicle, refer to Charge Air Cooler Outlet Air Elbow Duct Replacement below.
If any of the conditions is validated to be caused by freezing/icing, verification of the following components is necessary on all U.S. and Canadian vehicles:
- Grille Winter Cover
- Heated PCV Bypass system
- Modified Charge Air Cooler (CAC)
- Elbow Duct
If not previously performed, install either the grille cover, heated PCV bypass, CAC or elbow duct.
If the vehicle has a verified icing condition associated with extreme cold, but has all the components listed above installed, perform the Intake Air Pressure and Temperature Sensor Inspection and Cleaning procedure and CAC drain procedure below.
If not previously performed, an oil change may be necessary to remove any moisture from the engine. Prior to the oil change, warm the engine up completely to melt any ice in the engine.

This condition may also cause an increase in crankcase pressure, creating oil leaks at seals and gaskets. The technician may find one or more of the following DTCs set: • P0299 • P0234 • P2227 • P00C7 Cause This condition may be caused by one or more of the following: • Plugged crank case vent tube from ice forming in the tube during very cold weather conditions. • Ice accumulating in the intake manifold forming and blocking the PCV passage in the cylinder head. • Ice accumulation in the charge air cooler, restricting air flow to the throttle body. Page 2 October, 2022 Bulletin No.: 16-NA-405 Correction Important: The PCV heater parts are only to be used in northern states or provinces where temperatures are -18°C or less / 0°F or less and for critical customers only. Important: The DTCs and symptoms above are not exclusively related to freezing/icing conditions. Only follow this bulletin when the condition is directly correlated with extreme cold of -18°C or less / 0°F or less. System leaks should always be ruled out first for P0299. Signs of moisture will always be present in the CAC system and are not a reliable indicator of freezing/icing. Note: U.S. vehicles are NOT built with the revised CAC or heated PCV bypass system. To determine which CAC is installed in the vehicle, refer to Charge Air Cooler Outlet Air Elbow Duct Replacement below. If any of the conditions is validated to be caused by freezing/icing, verification of the following components is necessary on all U.S. and Canadian vehicles: • Grille Winter Cover • Heated PCV Bypass system • Modified Charge Air Cooler (CAC) • Elbow Duct If not previously performed, install either the grille cover, heated PCV bypass, CAC or elbow duct. If the vehicle has a verified icing condition associated with extreme cold, but has all the components listed above installed, perform the Intake Air Pressure and Temperature Sensor Inspection and Cleaning procedure and CAC drain procedure below. If not previously performed, an oil change may be necessary to remove any moisture from the engine. Prior to the oil change, warm the engine up completely to melt any ice in the engine. Important: Allow time for the vehicle to thaw in a warm environment to avoid damaging or breaking parts that may be required to be re-installed. Grille Winter Cover Installation Warning: Remove the grille cover when temperatures are consistently above 32°F/ 0°C to prevent engine and transmission overheating. Remove the grille cover before towing a trailer of any size. Failure to do so will decrease transmission cooling efficiency and possibly cause damage to the drivetrain. Note: The cover may appear to be undersized. The vinyl used may stretch during installation to ensure a tight fit. It is highly recommended to warm the vinyl cover so that it can be pliable enough to install onto the front bumper fascia. 5197596 1. Using care, orientate the fascia winter cover to the bumper fascia. Bulletin No.: 16-NA-405 October, 2022 Page 3 5193266 2.

Draining of the fluid can be done through the vacuum port (1). 5. Separate the charge air bypass regulator solenoid valve vacuum line (2) from the intake manifold. 5587732 6. Rotate the intake (1) to allow the fluid to bypass the chamber internal to the manifold. 7. Tilt the intake (2) to allow the fluid to exit the intake through the vacuum port. Bulletin No.: 16-NA-405 October, 2022 Page 5 5590615 8. Inspect the charge air bypass valve for oil leaking from the vacuum side port. 5590616 • If oil is found leaking from the valve port, disassemble and clean the components. Refer to Charge Air Bypass Valve Replacement in SI. • Only if necessary, replace the components. 9. Install the valve. 10. Install the intake manifold. Charge Air Cooler Outlet Air Elbow Duct Replacement 5236304 Important: If this vehicle has the CAC outlet tube P/N 42698921 installed on the vehicle, replace the air duct with the NEW kit part number 42751703. Important: If the kit part number 42751703 is not available, the dealer can order a new CAC outlet hose part number 42731155. 1. Remove the charge air cooler outlet air hose.

They are written to inform these 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 your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information. WE SUPPORT VOLUNTARY TECHNICIAN CERTIFICATION
