Protection for connectors on the B23OF/FT, B234F engines
The engine management system connectors/components should be cleaned and protected if oxidation or driveability problems are encountered. If
diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) have been recorded although no fault is detected, connectors/components should also be cleaned and protected. The
application of grease to connectors improves their long term reliability. The connectors shown in this service bulletin are of the type used in LH engine
management systems. The corresponding connectors in REX/Regina systems may be protected in the same manner.
