Manufacturer summary

Original wording in English

"THIS SERVICE INFORMATION BULLETIN REVIEWS A DESIGN CHANGE TO THE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS TO ELIMINATE IMPROPER DIAGNOSIS OF THE EVAPORATIVE LEAK CHECK MODULE (ELCM) BY THE ECM WHICH COULD SET DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P0451 IN ERROR. SOME EXAMPLES OF OTHER DTCS AFFECTED BY THIS HARNESS CHANGE ARE: P0068, P0452, P0453, P0107, P0108 AND P0300. THE CHANGE INVOLVES A REPOSITIONING OF THE SENSOR AND ACTUATOR WIRING GROUND JUNCTION POINT TO A LOCATION UNAFFECTED BY ENGINE MOVEMENT AND HIGH TEMPERATURES (NEAR TURBOCHARGER) WHICH MAY DEVELOP EXCESSIVE RESISTANCE. SINCE THIS CONDITION DEVELOPS OVER TIME, DTC(S) MAY SET VERY INTERMITTENTLY WITH LONG PERIODS OF TIME BETWEEN OCCURRENCES. A MORE FREQUENT OCCURRENCE OF ANY OF THESE DTC(S) MAY INDICATE A DIFFERENT ROOT CAUSE OTHER THAN THE CONDITION DESCRIBED IN THIS BULLETIN."

Repeated filings are grouped only when make, bulletin number, publication date and complete summary agree. Original record numbers are retained. Older publications remain available, and an explicit later version is shown when established. Pre-1994 vehicle associations are separated from default results; an unspecified year does not mean all model years apply.
