OVERVIEW
The connectors for the catalyst monitor sensors (CMS) may be reversed. The harness will be inspected to determine if the connectors are routed to the
proper CMS. If required, some disassembly of the harness will be necessary to switch the position of the connectors. Self-tests will be performed to
verify the repair and to clear any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to this repair. The only DTCs related to this program are P1129 (engine
running) and P0136/P0156 (continuous DTCs). If any other DTCs are found, they are not related to this program and should be diagnosed and repaired
under the applicable warranty.
