Check If Connector, A-Pillar, Loose Wires






Check if connector, A-pillar, loose wires

Checking connector, A-pillar, oxidation

Note! Check first that no relevant diagnostic trouble codes are generated before this symptom test is started.

Twisted cables connected to the A-pillar's connector may be fastened too loosely, which means that a number of electrical functions in the vehicle may be affected.
Check the A-pillar's connector, both left and right side of vehicle, for loose, twisted wires.

Hint: Only the following connector pins need to be checked: 1, 2, 8, 9, 25, and 26.

To check connector pins, proceed as follows:
- Unplug the A-pillar's connectors.
- Use a test connector with gold-plating.
- Compare the force needed to loosen the test connector with that which is needed to remove the existing connector.
If the contact force is too low, the connector's socket part should be replaced. For other contact problems both the connector's pin and socket parts should be replaced.
Remedy as necessary.
