B. Ensure that the sealing plugs are in place. If
any of the plugs are missing, replace the plug.
Ensure that the plugs are inserted correctly into
the connector. Refer to Illustration 38.

C. Disconnect the suspect connector and inspect the
connector seal. Ensure that the seals are in good
condition. If necessary, replace the connector.
D. Thoroughly inspect the connectors for evidence
of moisture entry.
Note: It is normal to see some minor seal abrasion
on connector seals. Minor seal abrasion will not allow
the entry of moisture.
If moisture or corrosion is evident in the connector,
the source of the moisture entry must be found and
the source of the moisture entry must be repaired.
If the source of the moisture entry is not repaired,
the problem will recur. Simply drying the connector
will not fix the problem. Check the following items
for the possible moisture entry path:
•
Missing seals
•
Improperly installed seals
•
Nicks in exposed insulation
•
Improperly mated connectors
Moisture can also travel to a connector through
the inside of a wire. If moisture is found in a
connector, thoroughly check the connector’s
harness for damage. Also check other connectors
that share the harness for moisture.
Note: The ECM is a sealed unit. If moisture is found
in an ECM connector, the ECM is not the source of
the moisture. Do not replace the ECM.
