"Bad" pages are replaced by what we call "SMU" or service manual updates.
In those days they were issued on paper and we were supposed to put them in a book and know they existed.
It is possible that the changes went to the printer for future print jobs, but I don't know.
I only show 2 SMUs in the modern computerized version of the bulletins for that year.
There is no factory manual information for years that far back, only bulletins.

SMU - SECTION 0 - GENERAL INFORMATION #57-02-01 - (Mar 1, 1995)
SUBJECT: SERVICE MANUAL UPDATE - SECTION 0 - GENERAL INFORMATION - DEXRON(R) III TRANSMISSION FLUID INTRODUCTION

MODELS: 1995 AND PRIOR PASSENGER CARS AND TRUCKS

GENERAL MOTORS HAS PHASED IN A NEW AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID, DEXRON(R) III, THAT DOES NOT NEED REPLACING UNDER NORMAL SERVICE. DEXRON(R) III IS DESIGNED TO HELP THE TRANSMISSION DELIVER THE BEST POSSIBLE PERFORMANCE UNDER ALL CONDITIONS.

THE IMPROVEMENTS IN DEXRON(R) III INCLUDE BETTER FRICTION STABILITY, MORE HIGH TEMPERATURE OXIDATION STABILITY AND BETTER MATERIAL COMPATIBILITY. DEXRON(R) III HAS THE SAME LOW TEMPERATURE FLUIDITY AS DEXRON(R) IIE, FOR BETTER TRANSMISSION PERFORMANCE IN COLD WEATHER.

DEXRON(R) IIE AND III ARE FULLY COMPATIBLE.

DEXRON(R) III IS FULLY COMPATIBLE WITH ANY GENERAL MOTORS PASSENGER VEHICLE OR LIGHT TRUCK WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND BUILT SINCE 1949.

DEALERS SHOULD REQUIRE THEIR SUPPLIER TO INCLUDE THE DEXRON(R) III LICENSE NUMBER ON ALL AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID INVOICES.

STARTING FEBRUARY 1, 1994 DEXRON(R) III WAS PHASED INTO ALL NORTH AMERICAN ASSEMBLY PLANTS.

DEXRON(R) III FLUID IS AVAILABLE FROM GMSPO (SEE FLUID NUMBERS BELOW):

U.S. IN CANADA 1 QUART - 12346143 1 LITER - 10952622 1 GALLON - 12346144 4 LITER - 10952623 55 GALLON - 12346145 200 LITER - 10952624

THE 1995 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE FLUID CHANGE INTERVALS WILL BE THE FOLLOWING:

(1994 AND PRIOR SHOULD USE THE SCHEDULES AS WRITTEN IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL.)

IF THE VEHICLE IS MAINLY DRIVEN UNDER ONE OR MORE OF THESE CONDITIONS:

IN HEAVY CITY TRAFFIC WHERE THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE REGULARLY REACHES 90 DEGREES F (32 C) OR HIGHER.

IN HILLY OR MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN.

WHEN DOING FREQUENT TRAILER TOWING.

USES SUCH AS FOUND IN TAXI, POLICE CAR OR DELIVERY SERVICE.

FOR VEHICLES OVER 8,600 GVWR, CHANGE THE FLUID AND FILTER EVERY 50,000 MILES (83,000 KM).

IF THE VEHICLE IS NOT USED MAINLY UNDER ANY OF THESE CONDITIONS, THE FLUID AND FILTER DO NOT REQUIRE PERIODIC CHANGING FOR VEHICLES UNDER 8,600 GVWR.

VEHICLES OVER 8,600 GVWR CHANGE THE FLUID AND FILTER EVERY 50,000 MILES (83,000 KM) REGARDLESS OF DRIVING CONDITIONS.

GENERAL MOTORS BULLETINS ARE INTENDED FOR USE BY PROFESSIONAL TECHNICIANS, NOT A "DO-IT-YOURSELFER." THEY ARE WRITTEN TO INFORM THOSE TECHNICIANS OF CONDITIONS OCCURRING 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 DESRIBED, DO NOT ASSUME THE BULLETIN APPLIES TO YOUR VEHICLE, OR THAT YOUR VEHICLE WILL HAVE THAT CONDITION. SEE A GENERAL MOTORS DEALER SERVICING YOUR BRAND OF GENERAL MOTORS VEHICLE FOR INFORMATION ON WHETHER YOUR VEHICLE MAY BENEFIT FROM THE INFORMATION.

SUBJECT: INFORMATION ON INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE (I/M) EMISSIONS DIAGNOSTIC MANUAL - MANUAL NUMBER GM/95-IM240-2

MODEL: 1995 AND PRIOR PASSENGER CARS AND TRUCKS

**GENERAL INFORMATION** THE ENHANCED INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE (I/M) PROGRAM IS SCHEDULED TO BEGIN IN DESIGNATED AREAS OF THE COUNTRY IN JANUARY 1995. REFER TO GM SERVICE BULLETIN 43-65-07, DATED DECEMBER 1994, FOR A LIST OF STATES PARTICIPATING IN THIS NEW EMISSIONS TESTING PROGRAM. ALSO REFER TO GM SERVICE BULLETIN 43-65-05, DATED APRIL 1994, FOR INFORMATION ON THIS EMISSIONS TESTING PROGRAM AND A DESCRIPTION OF THE I/M 240 LOADED MODE TEST.

**INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE (I/M) EMISSIONS DIAGNOSTICS** COPIES OF THE INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE (I/M) EMISSIONS DIAGNOSTIC MANUAL WILL BE SHIPPED TO ALL DEALERSHIPS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOUR STATE IS PARTICIPATING IN THE ENHANCED I/M TESTING PROGRAM. FOR DEALERSHIPS IN AREAS PERFORMING I/M TESTING, THE SUBJECT MANUAL PROVIDES A STRATEGY BASED DIAGNOSTIC APPROACH TO REPAIRING I/M TEST FAILURES. FOR DEALERSHIPS IN AREAS NOT AFFECTED BY ENHANCED I/M TESTING, THE NEW DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES PROVIDED IN THIS MANUAL MAY BE HELPFUL FOR DIAGNOSING THE OXYGEN SENSOR, OXIDATION AND THREE WAY CATALYTIC CONVERTER, AND EVAP SYSTEM.

THE INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE (I/M) EMISSIONS DIAGNOSTIC MANUAL PROVIDES COMPLETE EMISSIONS DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES FOR ALL FUEL SYSTEM TYPES (BOTH OPEN AND CLOSED LOOP CARBURETOR, TBI, AND MFI). THE MANUAL ALSO PROVIDES EVAPORATIVE (EVAP) EMISSIONS SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS FOR EVAP PRESSURE AND EVAP PURGE FLOW. THE EMISSIONS DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN THE INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE (I/M) EMISSIONS DIAGNOSTIC MANUAL FOLLOW THE STRATEGY BASED DIAGNOSTIC APPROACH AND INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING NEW TESTS DEVELOPED SPECIFICALLY FOR THE I/M PROGRAM.

**OXYGEN SENSOR (O2S) TEST** THERE ARE TWO VERSIONS OF THE O2S TEST PROCEDURE FOR USE WITH THE TECH 1 SCAN TOOL; AN AUTOMATED TEST USING THE TECH 1 AND MASS STORAGE CARTRIDGE (MSC), AND A MANUAL PROCEDURE USING THE TECH 1'S SNAPSHOT FUNCTION. THE MSC VERSION OF THE O2S TEST IS SCHEDULED FOR RELEASE IN EARLY 1995.

**OXIDATION AND THREE WAY CATALYTIC CONVERTER TEST** **PATENT PENDING U.S. PATENT OFFICE, SERIAL NO. 236837** THIS TEST CAN BE USED TO DIAGNOSE EXCESSIVE EMISSION FAILURES RESULTING FROM DAMAGED/POISONED OR TAMPERED OXIDATION AND THREE WAY CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. PROCEDURES FOR BOTH SINGLE AND DUAL CONVERTER SYSTEMS ARE INCLUDED. THIS TEST REQUIRES THE USE OF THE PROPANE ENRICHMENT DEVICE (J 26911 OR J 41417) AND AN EXHAUST GAS ANALYZER MEETING THE SPECIFICATIONS OUTLINED IN GM SERVICE BULLETIN 43-65-07, DATED DECEMBER 1994.

**EVAP PRESSURE TEST** THE EVAP PRESSURE TEST IS USED TO DIAGNOSE AND LOCATE LEAKS IN THE FUEL TANK AND EVAP SYSTEM. THIS TEST REQUIRES THE USE OF THE EVAP SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC KIT (J 41600).

**EVAP PURGE FLOW TEST** THE EVAP PURGE FLOW TEST IS USED TO DIAGNOSE THE LOSS OF EVAP PURGE FLOW. DETAILED PROCEDURES FOR ALL EVAP SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS ARE PROVIDED. THIS TEST REQUIRES THE USE OF THE EVAP PRESSURE/PURGE DIAGNOSTIC STATION (J 41413) AND THE PURGE FLOW INDICATOR (J 41418) SUPPLIED AS PART OF THE EVAP SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC KIT (J 41600).

**TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE FOR ENHANCED I/M (I/M 240) FAILURES** DEALER TECHNICIANS ARE GRANTED ACCESS TO ALL DIVISIONAL TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE STAFFS WHEN REPAIRING I/M 240 EMISSIONS TEST FAILURES. REFER TO GM SERVICE BULLETIN 43-65-06, DATED OCTOBER 1994 FOR COMPLETE DETAILS.

**BASIC/ENHANCED I/M EMISSIONS DIAGNOSIS TRAINING** GM HAS DEVELOPED THE FOLLOWING EMISSIONS TRAINING PROGRAM SPECIFICALLY FOR DEALERS LOCATED IN ENHANCED I/M TESTING AREAS: **VEHICLE EMISSIONS, ENHANCED TESTING AND DIAGNOSIS** (COURSE # 16004.10). CONTACT YOUR LOCAL GM TRAINING CENTER FOR CLASS SCHEDULES, ENROLLMENT INFORMATION, AND PREREQUISITES.

ADDITIONAL COPIES OF THE INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE EMISSIONS DIAGNOSTIC MANUAL (GM/95-IM240-2) MAY BE OBTAINED FROM HELM INC. 1-800-782-4356.
