Service Procedure

Inspect the routing of the engine control harness between the transmission and the exhaust heat shield. (Figure 1)
Is there evidence of contact between the harnesses and exhaust heat shield? (Figure 2)

(1). Yes – proceed to Step 3.

(2). No – this article does not apply. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM) for normal diagnostics.

Inspect the harness for damaged wiring and repair the circuits as necessary. (Figure 3)
Insulate the harness where a repair was performed using heat resistant aluminum tape. (Figure 4) Figure 4
When reinserting the harness back into position, make sure that a gap is present between the harness and exhaust heat shield by positioning the heat shield away from the harness and toward the exhaust using an appropriate tool. (Figure 5)
