Cause
These concerns could be caused by the engine harness getting
pinched/shorted/cha ed in grid coordinates G-8, shown below. This location is
approximately 18 inches from the ECM connectors, shown below (1). Due to the
number of circuits in the harness, there is a wide variety of di erent symptoms that
could occur, depending on which circuit(s) are damaged.
For the following DTC's: P0201, P0202, P0203, P0204, P0205, P0206, and/or P0216,
also inspect for poor terminal contact at connector X160 callout 25, shown below.
Correction
In many cases, the ECM has been unnecessarily replaced for these concerns. Please thoroughly inspect the areas
shown above and follow published SI diagnostics before any parts are replaced. If any concerns are found, then
follow SI Wiring and Connector repair instructions to correct the concern.
Warranty Information
For wiring repairs covered under warranty, please refer to latest version of bulletin 10-00-89-005 for warranty
information on wire/connector repairs.
