SERVICE PROCEDURE

Raise vehicle on a hoist, refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 100-02.

Remove the front right and front left side wheel and tire per the WSM, Section 204-04.

Disconnect connector C1668 on the left front strut assembly and C1669 on the right front strut assembly.

Remove the tape and plastic convolute around the take out to connector C1668 and C1669 and the main wire harness, approximately 5.0 cm (2.0″) in each direction from the take out. (Figures 1 and 2)

Figure 1 – 15-0075

Figure 2 – 15-0075

Inspect for wire damage to the main harness for any broken or exposed copper under the wire insulation.

Isolate any chafed/corroded wiring and replace connector (main harness 14290 side only) C1668 and C1669 with a new pigtail connector. Refer to the wiring repair kit instructions included in the pigtail kit. (Figure 1 and 2)

Wrap the main harness wiring 5.0 cm (2″) in both directions from the take out and wrap the entire wiring of the new pigtail connectors with Coroplast™ electrical wire harness tape or equivalent. (Figure 1 and 2)
1. Normal electrical tape does not have the anti-abrasion properties required to protect the wiring.

Replace the original convolute and cover with standard electrical tape.

Reconnect connectors C1668 and C1669.
1. For MKT make sure the connector take out is routed behind the main wiring harness. (Figure 1)

Reinstall the right and left wheel and tire per WSM, Section 204-04.

Lower the vehicle.

Retrieve and clear any DTCs.
