    DTCs C0035, C0040, C0045, C0050, C0055, C0267, U0121, U0415 or U0420 may be stored. Inspect the EBCM connector for water intrusion or terminal corrosion. If either is found, replace the EBCM and replace the affected terminals. Remove the tape from the conduit leading to G400 between the main harness and the ground lug. If no water intrusion is found in the connector, remove the tape from the G400 conduit and continue with diagnostics.
