This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to provide specific engine identification.
ISSUE:
Some vehicles may be hard to start or may not start, or the Fuel Shutoff Lamp may illuminate. This may be caused by corrosion or a short-to-ground at Splice 102 (Circuit 9).
ACTION:
Inspect Splice 102 (see Figure 1) for corrosion or short-to-ground and, if necessary, repair the splice. Cover with self-sealing heat shrink tubing. This repair will minimize future shorts/corrosion at the splice. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Perform a voltage drop test across Circuit 9 from the 30 amp F/P INJ fuse to generator "S" terminal, PCM power relay and fuel pump relay to identify the concern.
2. If voltage drop of 0.2 volts or greater is indicated, Splice 102 requires repair.
3. To inspect, remove the left headlamp assembly to gain access to the harness.
Locate Splice 102 in the engine compartment under the left headlamp assembly in the main harness.
5. If corrosion is found, cut out the splice and re-solder. If not corroded, but evidence of shorting is present, proceed to Step 6.
6. Apply adhesive-lined heat-shrinkable tubing (WT5627-A) (ESB-M99D56-A2) to seal the repaired splice. Refer to Pages 12-1 and 13-1 in the 1994 Probe EVTM (Electrical and Vacuum Troubleshooting Manual).
