The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.
Condition/Concern:
Some customers with vehicles built before 2/10/2007 may complain of an intermittent crank - no start condition at temperatures below -10C (14F). When in cold temperatures below -10C (14F), the fuel system relay case will shrink causing the contacts to bind. This results in an inoperative relay leading to a crank no-start condition.
Recommendation/Instructions:
If the vehicle was built prior to 2/10/2007, inspect the fuel system relay. Affected relays have lot numbers (format dd.m.y.D5) between 2946D5 (April 29, 2006) and 1766D5 (June 17, 2006).
If the inspected relay falls within these dates, replace the fuel relay.
Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
