THE WIRING FROM THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT WAS CONNECTED TO THE WRONG WHEEL SENSOR OR TO THE WRONG BRAKE MODULATOR VALVE. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT EITHER OR BOTH WIRING MAY HAVE OCCURRED AT EITHER THE FRONT OR REAR AXLE OR BOTH AXLES.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: SHOULD THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) WIRING BE CROSSED, IT WOULD RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANT DEGRADATION IN VEHICLE STOPPING DISTANCE. A SIGNAL WOULD BE SENT TO THE WRONG BRAKE CHAMBER WHEN A BRAKE IMBALANCE IS DETECTED. THIS CONDITION INCREASES THE RISK OF A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE ABS WIRING AND, IF NECESSARY, PROPERLY CONNECT.
THE HAND THROTTLE CABLE MAY BE MIS-ALIGNED WITH THE ACCELERATOR ROD CAUSING THE HAND THROTTLE CABLE TO "SAW" INTO THE ACCELERATOR ROD. THIS CAN CAUSE THE ACCELERATOR AND HAND THROTTLE CABLE TO BIND IN A PARTIAL OR FULL THROTTLE POSITION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: SHOULD THE ACCELERATOR ROD AND HAND THROTTLE CABLE BINDIN PARTIAL OR FULL THROTTLE POSITION, LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL COULD OCCUR,RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT.
Remedy: NAVISTAR DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE PRESENT ACCELERATOR ROD WITH A NEW ACCELERATOR ROD WITH A HARDENED END. OWNERS ARE ADVISED TO DISCONNECT THE HAND THROTTLE UNTIL A NEW ACCELERATOR ROD IS AVAILABLE.
