Official summary

If no communication can be established to the Vehicle electrical system control module J519 (address word 09) in Guided Fault Finding or Vehicle Self Diagnosis, it may be necessary to cycle door locks. It is recommended to cycle both the remote locks and the driver?s door lock switch when attempting to communicate to the module with the scan tool. Ensure all vehicle doors are unlocked before communication is retried.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
