^ Vehicle cranks but may not start (DTC P1635 will set)
^ (MIL) SES light is On with DTCs P0447, P0452, P0462, or P1635
CAUSE:
The cause of the above conditions may be the instrument panel (I/P) wire harness coming into contact with a left side I/P bracket at left side footwell area. At that location, the I/P harness connects to a Body-to-I/P inline connector. The I/P harness is attached to the left side I/P bracket by a rosebud clip. Between the rosebud clip and the I/P connector, the harness may come into contact with the left side I/P bracket.
