Which WS6?
#43
could be something as simple as the 1-4 skip shift module. I have a skip shift eliminator on my car but it must have gone bad or something bc ive had a SES light and a code for about 3 months for 1-4 upshift .... dont care to fix it bc it still runs and shifts fine.

Does anyone have any idea of what an upper bank code is? I looked under the hood I see what looks like fuel sensors on both sides of the intake mani. The first mechanic cleared the code but the check engine light went back on. I believe it was on the driver side as well. I can check anything as the car now sits in my garage..

Car jus got home from my uncles gas station. Said the code was triggered by both cats. Doesnt make sense to me I remember when the cat went bad in my camaro it was a clear loss of power. I guess the cats arent doing their job but are unclogged. Car is just over the 8 years 80,000 mile warranty. A little over 9 years old with only 66,000 miles. This put a hamper on my day for sure.

Thanks Kameleon. I believe my father contacted the Pontiac dealer in my town once it came home from the garage. He talked to the parts department and they said it was 8 years or 80,000. But then again they dont want to know anything its under warranty. Im gona look into that extended warranty today. Pontiac wanted almost $475 per cat which is crazy when you can get magnaflows for $200 each.

Almost all shops ALWAYS say it's a cat and 90% of the time it isn't. I usually don't like going to dealerships for stuff like this but they for whatever reason can get to the root cause vs. a regular shop. Maybe they have more advanced equipment, who knows. But I'd try that before shelling out $800 for cats.

The shop was my uncles so it wasnt someone trying to rip me. I took the WS6 to emissions to fail so I could get it registered and have 60 days to try to pass the test. Emission came up as the driver side cat as well I believe which is bank 1.
Kameleon thanks again I called GM in Michigan and it is indeed 10 years 120,000. You sir saved me alot of money and I have an appointment on tuesday at the Pontiac dealer to replace the cat or cats for me.
