SUBJECT:
Malfunction Indicator Lamp Illumination Due To Oxygen Sensor
OVERVIEW:
This bulletin involves inspecting for the part number of the transmission harness and
based on the part number suffix, determining if the Oxygen Sensor Module
Connector requires repair. Some model year 2011 harness' were built with tin plated
terminals in 5 of the connector cavities that should have been gold plated. Based on the
transmission harness part number, the terminals will be replaced as required.
NOTE: Service Bulletin's 25-004-12 and 18-012-12 REV. A (or later bulletins) must
also be performed (if not previously performed).

NOTE: Soot related DTC's noted above with an asterisk (*) may be the result of other
system(s) issues and must be validated as described on the Diesel
Diagnostic Worksheet, Section 4D. Vehicles that DO NOT pass the Validation
Test require further diagnosis to determine the cause of excess soot build
up.

DIAGNOSIS:
Complete a Diesel Diagnostic Worksheet per instructions in Service Bulletin 18-045-11
Dated October 19, 2011 and U. S. Warranty Bulletin D-11-55 Dated October, 2011. All
DTC's need to be recorded on the WRO and DTC's other than the ones listed above may
require additional diagnosis and repair after completing this Bulletin.
Vehicles that exhibit ANY DTC('s) (Stored or Active), pertaining to Oxygen Sensors or
Oxygen Sensor related components must have this Repair Procedure completed BEFORE
any parts are replaced.
1. Determine if the Oxygen Sensor Module wiring harness terminals require replacement.
Inspect the tag on the Transmission Wiring Harness for the part number suffix (the last
two digits). This wiring harness tag is attached to the harness at a point usually most
visible from under the hood. Initially, it is easiest to locate the tag from under the
vehicle. Follow the harness from the PCM (front) connector up to the takeout that
heads toward the driver’s side of the vehicle. The tag is located on this takeout, near
the frame rail, behind the left front wheel well splash shield. See (Fig. 1) and (Fig. 2)
for tag location references.

2. The harness part number is located on the left side of the tag between the two bar
codes. Does the part number end with the suffix AC ?
a. Yes >>> If the suffix is AC, The Repair Procedure for Module Connector IS
required. Perform the repair procedure below.
b. No >>> This bulletin does not apply. Ensure SB's 25-004-12 and 18-012-12 REV. A
(or later bulletins) have been completed.

NOTE: Prior to replacing any parts, (Oxygen Sensors, Oxygen Sensor Module,
Transmission Wiring Harness or PCM) perform the Repair Procedure below
and also perform an Oxygen Sensor Verification test drive also described
below.
NOTE: Vehicles experiencing P013X or P014X DTC’s must have the Aftertreatment
Validation Test (Section 4D of the Diesel Diagnostic Worksheet) performed to
ensure excess soot is not causing the DTC(s). IF excess soot is found during
Aftertreatment Validation Test, perform appropriate repairs to eliminate soot
accumulation. The repair procedure below should be performed regardless
of outcome or repairs performed for other issues.
REPAIR PROCEDURE:
Specific female terminals on the Oxygen Sensor Module Vehicle Harness Connector on
the vehicle transmission harness will be removed and replaced with a new terminal and
pigtail. Replacement terminals are gold plated.
The pigtail splice points should be staggered to eliminate bulk in the harness.
1.
2.
3.
4.

Open hood.
Disconnect and isolate both negative battery cables.
Raise and support vehicle on a suitable hoist.
Disconnect the Oxygen Sensor Module Connector and remove the protective tape
and plastic shield on the connector.
5. Using a narrow blade, flat screwdriver (3 mm wide max), pry the white TPA (white
cover seen when looking in connector). Notice the travel of white TPA is only 5 mm or
until a “click” is heard. This is the release point of the TPA. The TPA is a device that
locks the release finger so that when seated, terminal will not and cannot be
disengaged, (Fig. 3) and (Fig. 4).

6. Insert either J-38125-217 (Kent Moore number) OR MX 150-MX150L / 63813-1500
(Molex) OR a fabricated tool, (consisting of a chamfered 1mm drill bit installed with the
cutting end of the drill in the handle of Miller Tool #8351), into TPA (module side of
connector) into the desired “service port” until resistance is felt. (Fig. 5)

7. Push the wire into the connector from the back, and while keeping the tool or drill at
90° angle to face of TPA, push the tool or drill in until it releases the lock finger in the
connector. At this point the wire should pull out the back. Note the orientation of the
terminal in the connector for ease of installation later.
NOTE: The following splice procedure requires the use of splice bands crimped in
place BEFORE soldering. Soldering wires alone may cause too much circuit
resistance.

Fig. 6 TERMINALS TO BE REPLACED
Replace Terminals Indicated By Red Arrows

8. Replace terminals #3, 9, 11, 13 & 15 (one at a time) as called out with RED ARROWS
in (Fig. 6) with the gold terminal / pigtail included in Wire Repair Kit, p/n 68203454AA.
The pigtail splice points should be staggered to eliminate bulk in the harness;
a. Cut each wire, (one at a time) in a staggered manner.
b. Slide heat shrink tube on wire prior to splicing. Strip insulation on each wire and
crimp together using band clamp BEFORE SOLDERING using Mopar splice band
tool, p/n 05019912AA (or equivalent) then solder the crimped connection and heat
shrink each wire individually.
9. With the TPA still in the “released” position, install the terminal into the connector
through the insulator noting proper orientation of terminal as noted in Step #7 above.
10. Repeat for all 5 terminals to be replaced.
11. Relock the TPA into original position.
12. Clean (with shop air) Oxygen Sensor Module connector and secure connector to the
module.
13. Secure all wiring to proper anchors.
14. Tape wires together then install the removed plastic protector and continue taping
convolute to connector body.
15. Lower vehicle, reconnect batteries.
16. Perform SB 18-012-12 REV. A (or later bulletin).
17. Perform SB 25-004-12 (or later bulletin).
18. Perform Verification procedure at the end of SB 25-004-12 (or later bulletin).
