In a continuing effort to improve new vehicle quality at the time of delivery, several enhancements have been made to the electronic PDI forms located on GM DealerWorld. The changes make the forms more user-friendly and help save time when researching the Special Inspection Items listed.
TIP: These changes apply to all 2008 MY forms and any 2007 MY forms that have recently been updated.
- 2007 MY and 2008 MY forms have been separated. 2008 MY forms are shown in red, 2007 MY forms in gray/black.
- Fields for VIN, Dealer/BAC Code, Stock Number, Repair Order Number, Temperature, Voltage, Odometer, Technician Name, and Date can now be typed in directly on the PDI form before printing (highlighted in blue boxes) (fig. 12). A copy of the form must be printed for the technician to complete. Retain the completed form in the dealer service file per Policy & Procedures.
TIP: Data typed into the form cannot be saved.
- Print and Reset buttons have been added to the form.
- Documents referred to in the Special Inspection Items section are now easily available for viewing and printing directly from the PDI form. Just mouse-over the yellow question mark for instructions, or click on the paperclip icon on the left navigation panel to view the list of available documents. Then double click on the desired item. Before this enhancement, it was necessary to go to SI or an owner manual to review the information referred to in the Special Inspection Items.
TIP: Special Inspection Items can change frequently. Always use the most current version of the PDI form to ensure a quality delivery.
