GRAND VITARA
Section Title: Brake System
TSB No. TS 08 09267
Division: Automotive
Category: Technical
SUBJECT:
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION CAMPAIGN "MW", MODIFIED HARNESS INSTALLATION
MODEL(S):
RAND VITARA (JB627) MANUAL TRANSMISSION ONLY
YEAR:
2006
AFFECTED VIN(S):
2WD: J53TE941_64100001~J53TE941_64103733
4WD: J53TD941_641 00005~JS3TD941_64104048
CONDITION:
ESP(R) will be disabled with no warning if a reverse lamp burns out. If certain test conditions are met the ESP(R) light will be ON and DTC C1050
(Back Switch Failure) will be in memory.
CAUSE:
The original design ESP(R) controller uses the back-up light circuit on the manual transmission vehicles to normally disengage the ESP(R) when the
vehicle is reversed. This circuit is not checked during a self diagnostic. Therefore a burned out bulb will cause a change in the circuit that signifies the
vehicle is in reverse disabling the ESP® without warning. When the ESP(R) is disabled no warning light will illuminate unless certain driving conditions
are met.
CORRECTION:
A sub harness which contains a resistor to simulate the correct circuit electrical value in case a bulb is burned out needs to be added. Please install Joint
Harness 56500-65J00 on all vehicles in the affected VIN range. Use the attached instructions for installation.
WARRANTY:
Please refer to the Campaign Bulletin SC-40 for claim submission instructions and labor times.
