Technicians should repair wires and either tie strap harness away form UHJB or reroute harness. Technicians should also verify integrity of the harness at the ECM connector by tugging or wiggling the connector to check for loose pins in the connector. Replace loose pins as necessary and if no pins are loose then replace connector using part # 88953274.

Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
