MQR 7621-2121 Accelerator Pedal Not Responding (1242 Fault Codes) FT4949 Field Instruction – Splice Connectors Modification (Rev03) September 16, 2020 DQT, Kévin Lalancette, CONFIDENTIAL Date created: 2020-07-02 Latest update: 2020-09-16 WARNING: Follow your internal safety procedures. A) VEHICLE PREPARATION STEPS: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Park the vehicle on an even surface with transmission on neutral (N) and apply the parking brake. Set the Master Control Switch in STOP position (see figure 1). Before starting any work on the vehicle, make sure that the vehicle is completely and securely stationary. Disconnect the starting circuit on the control box at the rear of the vehicle and place the battery disconnect switch in OFF position. Disconnect the battery negative (chassis ground) cable to eliminate the risk of an electrical short circuit that could damage the engine ECM. (Follow your internal safety procedure before disconnecting battery cables).

Follow the same logic for a 2- or 3-way splice connectors configuration. 1. Lift and secure the vehicle onto the safety stands. 2. Locate the splice connectors cluster (see figure 2). 3. Remove the bolt that retains all splice connectors and then remove the upper splice connectors (see figure 3).

Move the 2 lower splice connectors with wire entry already facing down so that they are positioned and reassembled at the single tie mount location (see figures 4, 5 & 6). Before fastening, ensure that the mounting hardware parts stacking is the same as on figures 5 & 6.

Move the upper splice connectors and inspect the terminals, seals and wedge locks for signs of corrosion (see figure 7). a) Move away the grey boot. b) Remove the connector cap and the connector wedge lock. c) Inspect the connector cap jumper, the terminals and the seals. 6. If no sign of corrosion is found, then go to step 8. 7. Else if there are some signs of corrosion, go to step 11 and/or step 12 (depending on affected splice connectors). 8. Clean all parts thoroughly with contact cleaner. 9. If the connector mating seal is worn, damaged or missing, replace it with a new seal (Deutsch P/N 1010-020-1206). 10. Extract the drain wire terminals of splice connector SC95N (see figure 8 for the terminal positions) and add 25mm of heat shrink tubing P/N N82227-02 over the extended terminal crimp area (see figure 9 on next slide). Go to step 13.

Replacement of the corroded / damaged parts of the +MT-SC95N splice connector: a) Remove the connector cap. b) Using the extraction tool (Deutsch P/N DT-RT1), remove all terminals from the connector. c) Cut all the terminals while keeping the maximum possible length. d) Insert a new grey boot P/N N75513 over the wires. e) On both cables, crimp a new terminal P/N N31233-03 on all wires except for the drain wires (colored insulated wires only). f) Crimp a new terminal P/N N31233-02 on both drain wires. g) Add 25mm of heat shrink tubing P/N N82227-02 over the extended terminal crimp are (see figure 9). h) Insert the following wires into a new connector P/N N92381-03: I. CAB095VP red wire at position 1. II. CAB095VP black wire at position 10. III. CAB095VP white wire at position 4. IV. CAB095VP drain wire at position 7. V. CAB095VS red wire at position 11. VI.
