SUBJECT:
CEM harness terminal corrosion due to water entrance in plenum
(Instruction for new harness installation)

REFERENCE: VIDA repair instruction

DESCRIPTION:
Various electrical function and communication symptoms may occur in M/Y 2005-2006 vehicles caused by wet corrosion in the CEM (Central Electrical Module) connector. The grommet that seals the harness entrance to the Plenum box may not seal properly if it has been incorrectly assembled.

This may cause a number of different functionality symptoms and DTC's to be set.

Examples include but not limited to:
> Headlight on, even if ignition key is taken out of ignition lock.
> Warning messages in DIM (Driver's Information Module) display.
> Warning lamps lit up.
> Brake lights always on.
> No start condition.





PRODUCT MODIFICATION:
A new plenum sealing strategy with integrated rubber grommet was introduced in production from structure week 200540. See photo below. This new sealing strategy will be carried over to the replacement engine bay harnesses on the chassis numbers indicated, either by modification of the replacement harness (method 1), or by a superseded harness P/N with an integrated cover and grommet (method 2).

SERVICE:
If there are signs of water penetration in plenum box and/or wet corrosion at the CEM connectors, it will be necessary to install a new CEM and replace the engine bay cable harness according to one of the 2 Methods below:

METHOD 1 (modification of the original type replacement harness)





Parts required;

Arrow (2) must point towards the handle on
the rubber grommet.
