All Technicians are requested to carefully identify the problem area of wiring that needs rectification. Three
categories have been listed to cover all situations, these are
Technicians are required to record on the Repair Order, one of the following:
Figure Number
Affected Terminal Number (as circled on each Figure Number)
Failure Code Number (as per selection on Page Number 5)
Figure Number
Affected Connector Number
Failure Code Number (as per selection on Page Number 5)
Figure Number
Affected Zone numbers (being the vertical strip or zone of where damage is on Harness
Failure Code Number (as per selection on Page Number 5)
After troubleshooting an intermittent problem on a V6 VY, the largest of the connectors at
the PCM is found to have a terminal which has backed out, and is not making contact with
a pin on the PCM.
The relevant harness location diagram on Pages 7, 8 & 9 tells us that the location
of the problem harness is on Figure 12. We turn to Figure 12 and find the
connector labelled as 10
From Page 5 we select Failure Code 28 for 'terminal not retained in connector
body'.
Hence write on the Repair Order:

A VY sedan is found to continually blow indicator lamp fuses. It is found that the indicator
wire is bare and earthing out on the metal seat-back mounting panel above the RH rear
wheel arch. Because it is a wire and not a connector which is damaged, the two digit
number which identifies the specific area where the damage has occurred on the wiring,
is to be used in lieu of connector number. Use the wire failure code for 'bare wire' - 94.
Reference to Pages 7, 8 & 9 tells us to refer to Figure 25. In fact this Figure shows
the exact section of damaged harness, so record Fig. 25 on the Repair Order.
Because the Failed Component is a harness and damaged within the vertical
Zone 90, the actual Zone Number is recorded on the Repair Order.
The failure code to use for bared wires is shown on Page 5 as '94'.
Hence write on the Repair Order:
