Figure 1 - Ground CableDiagnosis and Service Procedure
Review safety procedures in ALLDATA® RepairSM before beginning.

1. Check for poor grounding using a Digital Volt-Ohm Meter (DVOM).

2. Measure the voltage drop between the intake manifold ground bolt for the engine harness and the right hand (RH) cylinder head.

3. At engine warm idle, place the positive (red) meter lead on the intake manifold ground bolt for the engine ECCS harness and the negative (black) lead on RH cylinder head and measure the voltage.
If the voltage is above 0.025V (25 millivolts), install the sub-harness shown in Figure 1 to resolve the incident. Continue with step two of this bulletin.
If the voltage is less than 0.025V (25 millivolts), the problem will not be repaired with a sub-harness and will require further diagnosis. Refer to the System Diagnosis section in ALLDATA Repair.

Figure 2 - Sub-Harness Rounting4. Route the sub-harness from the RH cylinder head, on the existing ECCS harness. Route it toward the center front of the engine and then back toward the intake manifold collector (Figure 2).

5. Find the two threaded holes in the RH cylinder head next to the negative battery cable attachment point (Figure 3).

6. Secure the sub-harness end with the two larger eyelets to these two threaded holes (Figure 3).

7. Use the two new hex bolts to attach the sub-harness eyelets.
CAUTION: To prevent damage, the sub-harness must be positioned more than 70 mm (2.8 in.) from the exhaust manifold.

8. Now attach the sub-harness to the ECCS harness at four (4) places (Figure 4) using the wiring clips listed in the parts information. Space the wiring clips out as shown in Figure 4.

9. Secure the sub-harness end with the two smaller eyelets. You'll attach them using two of the existing ground bolts located on the intake manifold (Figure 3).

10. Trim the excess material from the newly installed wiring clips.
