Federal Motar Safety Number: |
| Defect Summary : Vehicle description: passenger vehicles equipped with v6 engines and federal emission equipment. the battery cable harness can become heat damaged by the front exhaust manifold which could cause grounded circuits. |
Consequence Summary: This circuit failure could cause any of the following to occur: (1) the engine will not start because the main fuse will blow if the power lead is grounded; (2) the low oil pressure warning lamp will illuminate if the signal wire is grounded; (3) the airconditioning system will become inoperative if the lead to the magnetic clutch is grounded; and (4) the turn signal/hazard lamps will become inoperative if the voltage monitor lead is grounded. |
| Corrective Summary : Dealers will remove and discard a metal manifold bracket (from galant models only - eclipse has no such bracket). dealers will also inspect the harness. if the harness wires show no damage, the dealer will install a heat insulator along with heat resistant harness clips. if the harness wires do show damage, the dealers will install a new harness with preinstalled integral heat protection. |
