<A href="http://gsi.xw.gm.com/si/showDoc.do?docSyskey=1987733&from=bcpi#ss1-1987733">Condition/Concern:
Customers may comment on hearing a high pitched tone or whine type noise heard from the vehicle either with the key on and engine off or for up to one minute after the vehicle has been shut off. The noise should be heard from outside the vehicle only or with a window open and be most noticeable in an enclosed area i.e. garage area.
Recommendation/Instructions:
Recommendation/Instructions:
The whine/tone is caused by the internal transmission solenoids being commanded to minimum line pressure by the TCM. This noise should be considered an operating characteristic and no repairs should be attempted.
Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
