Defect
On turbocharged engine vehicles, the engine control harness is improperly routed, allowing vibration during driving to cause contact between the harness and the intercooler case. This abrades the insulation on the wiring inside the harness, causing a short circuit. In the worst case, the engine may stall while the vehicle is in motion.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, clamp the engine control harness together with the engine blow-by gas hose. If inspection reveals harness damage, repair or replace the harness with a new unit.
