HOLD LIGHT FLASHES

Applicable Models

0001204 Dealer Repair Information

1. The hold light may flash when moving the shift lever and will        
   sometimes stay on.  Many or all of the trouble codes will be stored  
   in the memory of PCME.                                               
                                                                        
2. All the above symptoms usually occur on vehicles that had snow       
   sitting inside the cowl vents (external fresh air vents).            
                                                                        
Water droplets from snow inside the fresh air duct may drip down onto   
and enter the PCME causing a short on the circuit board.                
                                                                        
NOTE: To check for water damage, remove the cover (4 screws) from the   
PCME and inspect the circuit board for signs of corrosion on any of the 
elec  trical components.  If corrosion is visible, THEN replace the PCME
 using                                                                  
the procedure listed below.  If corrosion is NOT VISIBLE, CONSIDER OTHER
                                                                        
AREAS TO LOOK AT BEFORE REPLACING THE PCME.                             
 To protect the new PCME from being damaged again from water or         
moisture, please perform the following modification:                    
                                                                        
1. Before installing the new (rebuilt) PCME, attach a water-proof, self-
                                                                        
   adhesive pad protector (150mm x 80mm x 3mm) to the front edge of the 
   PCME, which faces the firewall. Be sure to position the pad, so it   
   covers the seams where water intrusion might occur.                  
                                                                        
Note:                                                                   
Arrangements are being made with the remanufacturer to have the pad     
installed before shipment. If you purchase a PCME, check to see whether 
the pad protector is already attached.
