9.
Verify the number "054" is stamped on the slide-lock end of the mat cover (wipe mat cover clean if necessary to view).
NOTE:
Mat covers with any other number will be missing plugs in the unused pin locations.
^
If the module is not corroded, AND all the wire seals are present, AND all the wire seals are fully seated, AND the number on the mat
cover is 054", proceed to REPAIR PROCEDURE "A".
^
If any of the wire seals are missing, OR if the number on the mat cover is not "054", proceed to REPAIR PROCEDURE "C".
^
Verify all four (4) heavier gauge wire seals are fully seated in the cavities. Each seal should sit approximately 1-2 mm (1/16 in) below the
top of the round cavity. If any of the wire seals are not seated properly, proceed to REPAIR PROCEDURE "D".
REPAIR PROCEDURE A
1.
Reinstall dress cover and use electrical tape to secure the cover at the same location where the original tie strap was removed. Apply dielectric
grease to the ABS module connector, position and connect the harness as follows:
a)
Reinstall dress cover.
b)
Use ONLY dielectric grease.
^
With the tip of the applicator tube snipped off, position the end of the tip between the four (4) large flat pins at the bottom of the ABS module
connector. Squeeze out enough grease to just cover the four (4) flat pins.
NOTE:
DO NOT spread the grease around the connector. Applying an excess amount of grease into the connector cavity will cause a "hydro lock"
condition which will not allow the connector to fully seat or lock in place.
2.
Reposition the harness to its original position, install the retainers to the studs to secure the harness and connect it to the ABS module.
3.
Reconnect negative battery cable.
