The tin coating of the female terminals and ECU pins may oxidize through heat cycles and vibration possibly causing ýFretting Corrosioný build up. The fretting corrosion build up may cause resistance levels to increase between the terminals and ECU pins. This may result with the ECU possibly logging an active/inactive fault code or to have an intermittent symptom. 		1/05/2006 file 84 KB  TMIB0156
file Output Bearing Flange Breakage/Bearing Cover Oil Leakage
The rear bearing cover dimensional stack up allows for possible interference or lack of gasket clamp. If interference occurs between the rear bearing cover and bearing flange, the gasket clamp is compromised and leakage could occur. In the event the stack up allows for endplay between the bearing race and rear bearing cover, the result could be a broken output-bearing flange. A broken output-bearing flange may cause noise and/or vibration that will increase or decrease with road speed along with possible range shift issues. Most failures result in a failed synchronizer and are brought in with a raking complaint. 		1/05/2006 file 637 KB  TMIB0155
