MODIFIED PROCEDURE FOR SECURING ETC MODULE HARNESS AND/OR PASSENGER HARNESS TO ETC MOUNTING BRACKET
1. Remove the left under dash panel. (See WIS: AR68.10-P-15000H, removing and installing cover below instrument panel [left])
2. If present, remove and discard the metal clip securing the electronic transmission control (ETC) module wiring harness and passenger wiring harness to the bottom of the ETC mounting bracket.
Note:
If present, the clip is located at the ETC mounting bracket slot where cable tie (1) will be installed.
3. With cable tie (1), secure the ETC module wiring harness and passenger wiring harness to the slot in the ETC mounting bracket.
Note:
The two harnesses must be positioned side by side on the bottom of the ETC mounting bracket with the passenger harness routed to the side closest to the HVAC case. Ensure that sufficient clearance exists between the passenger harness and HVAC linkage to allow proper operation while rotating the air distribution rotary switch one full turn.
4. Eliminate slack between cable tie (1) and previously existing cable tie (2), by pulling the harnesses in the direction of the engine compartment bulkhead.
5. Position the lock of pre-existing cable tie (2) toward the HVAC case, then tighten.
Note:
Ensure a minimum 10 mm clearance between the harnesses and top of the accelerator pedal lever at full throttle position.
6. Push any remaining harness slack under the carpet, below the HVAC case.
7. Secure the harnesses to one another with cable tie (3) approximately 60 mm forward of pre-existing cable tie (2).
8. Reinstall the left under dash panel.
9. Apply a white paint mark to the cover of Diagnostic Plug (X11/22) as verification that this Service Campaign was performed.
