CONDITION:
Possible high resistance in the S201 splice pack may cause low beam headlights and DRL to not operate.
CAUSE:
Affected vehicles were produced with splice packs which may have high resistance at the headlight lamp splice. It is possible for this high resistance to
generate enough heat to melt the splice pack eventually causing the circuit for the low beam headlights and DRL to open. The low beam and DRL may
not function if the circuit opens. A burning smell may also be present from the instrument cluster area.
CORRECTION:
Please follow the instructions below to bypass the S201 splice pack on vehicles in the affected VIN range. The circuit for the headlights will be joined
with a special crimp connector. This will join the circuit with mechanical force a solder welded joint and adhesion of the wire insulation. The same
procedure is used for all listed models. Note that the cluster bezels may differ in appearance Forenza sedan is shown.
