PRELIMINARY INFORMATION

Subject:
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) On, Various DTCs Set, IPC Inoperative, Display and/

or BCM Fuse Blown
Models:
2012-2013 Chevrolet Impala

Vehicles Without RPO NU6 Emissions

Built Prior to July 27, 2012

This PI is being revised to update the build date. Please discard PI0631E.
Condition/Concern

Some customers may comment on one or more of the following conditions:

• The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is on.

• The ABS indicator turns ON.

• The ABS system engages.

• The Traction Control indicator turns ON.

• The Traction Control engages.

• The driver information center (DIC) displays the Service Stability System message.

In rare cases, the instrument panel cluster (IPC) may be inoperative. Further investigation may find the display, BCM

fuse, and/or IGN 1 fuse blown in the underhood fuse block (UBEC).

Technicians may find various DTCs set (see keyword list below).

Not all of the effects or driver notifications listed have been experienced. However, the different effects and driver

notifications may be caused by one of the wires in the engine harness being chafed or cut. Due to the cause of the

condition, and the positions of the wires in the harness, it is unlikely that more than one circuit will be affected by the

condition.

This condition may be caused by the engine wiring harness rubbing on the front right side of the transmission. The

engine harness may have chafing or damage to the wires. Contact with the edge of the transmission may result in a

rub-through of the wires within that harness.

Possible Engine Harness Circuits Affected
