DISCUSSION:
The following Jeep/Truck Engine Controller (JTEC) Powertrain Control Module (PCM) electrical connector and terminal repair components are
available to aid in powertrain electrical wiring repairs. These components allow repairs of individual wiring circuits without the need to replace the entire
engine harness. If you have determined that a powertrain customer complaint could be related to a poor electrical connection, the PCM connectors
should be inspected. The following diagnosis and inspection can be utilized to determine the condition of the PCM connectors and their terminals.
Diagnosis
Inspection of the connector begins with a thorough inspection of the insulator.
1.
Record the radio station presets.
2.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable (both batteries should be disconnected if the vehicle is equipped with a 5.9L Cummins Diesel).
3.
Disconnect the connector from the PCM.
