Condition of Wiring Harness/What To Do
SERVICE OVERVIEW
The repair involves the following steps as shown:
1. (All vehicles) Apply duct/cloth tape.
2. (Certain vehicles only) Repair seat harness.
3. (All vehicles) Fasten with tie wrap.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1. Adjust the front seat by moving the front and rear portions of the seat cushion (A) to their top position, and then slide the seat rearward to the furthest back position.
2. Remove two (2) screws (A) from the front lower cover (B), then remove front lower cover.
NOTE:
DO NOT separate the cover at the joint section (C) to prevent breakage. The lower cover assembly (front and side) can be removed for ease of access without joint separation.
3. Inspect seat harness for any damage between the fastener (A) and the front of the seat (B).
NOTE:
The following diagram shows the parts of the wire harness.
4. From the illustrations above, identify which of the following four (4) conditions exists (A, B, C, or D), and then proceed to the appropriate step.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Apply insulation/electrical tape around the damaged area.
2. Attach duct/cloth tape to the cushion frame (A) and front cover bracket (B) as shown in the illustration.
NOTE:
The duct/cloth tape prevents possible harness damage from contact with the cover bracket once the repair is completed.
3. Fasten the seat harness on the seat frame using a tie wrap.
A: Seat Frame
B: Seat Harness
C: Connector Box
D: Tie Wrap
NOTE:
^ Be sure to align tie wrap with the side wall of the connector box (E) and that the distance from the tie wrap to the existing band (F) is 30-35mm (1.2-1.4 in.).
^ Cut the tie wrap leaving 5mm (0.2 in) from the tie wrap locking head (G).
NOTE:
^ The existing band clip (A) may come off during the repair, but it is not necessary to refasten it to the original location. If the band clip does come off, simply remove and discard it.
4. Reinstall the front lower cover by tightening the two (2) screws.
NOTE:
Be careful not to pinch the harness between the covers while installing the front lower cover.
5. If applicable, reconnect the negative battery cable.
6. Lower the front and rear portions of the seat cushion to their bottom position. Confirm that the clearance between the front cover bracket and seat harness is 5 mm (0.2 in) or more using a hand mirror.
7. Repair is completed.
ELECTRIC WIRE REPAIR PROCEDURE
Perform this procedure only if condition D (bare wire is visible) exists. Otherwise, proceed to Step 1 in SERVICE PROCEDURE.
NOTE:
The front seat DOES NOT need to be removed to perform repair.
CAUTION:
Repair on the electric wire requires disconnecting the negative battery cable. Disconnect the negative battery cable and wait at least one (1) minute.
NOTE:
The diagram above shows the parts of the wire harness for the steps shown in the diagram.
1. Remove external PVC tape.
2. Temporarily detach the PVC tube.
NOTE:
Do not remove the PVC tube completely as it will be reused.
3. Remove internal PVC tape while making a small cut in the tape with a utility knife.
NOTE:
Be careful not to damage the electric wire.
4. Apply insulation tape around the damaged area where bare wire is visible.
5. Bundle the electric wires, and then apply insulation/electrical tape approx. 80mm (3.15 in.) in length on the harness at five (5) points.
6. Reinstall the PVC tube, and then apply insulation/electrical tape approx. 80mm (3.15in.) in length (x multiple pieces) around the tube.
NOTE:
Apply the insulation/electrical tape securely and confirm that no gap exists.
