## What is wrong

VEHICLES MAY CONTAIN THE POTENTIAL FOR A SHORT CIRCUIT BETWEEN THE FUEL  INJECTOR RETURN AND BATTERY ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS CAUSED BY THE PROXIMITY  OF THE WELDS IN THE WIRING ASSEMBLY ENGINE CONTROL SENSOR. SHOULD A SHORT  CIRCUIT OCCUR, THE ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP MAY ENERGIZE AND SOME FUEL  INJECTORS MAY OPEN. THIS COULD RESULT IN FUEL DISCHARGING INTO THE ENGINE  EVENTUALLY LEAKING FROM THE EXHAUST SYSTEM TO THE GROUND AND CREATING THE  POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE FIRE.
