“This problem affects 1996-2002 g-series vans (chevy Express and gmc savana). The powertrain control module/vehicle control module (PCM/vcm) corrodes over time and the case enclosing the computer splits open allowing water to enter the vehicle's electrical system. Gm has acknowledged this problem in technical service bulletin 02-06-04-020, attributing it to location of the PCM/vcm and design of the engine wiring harness deflector. This deflector acts much like a "rain gutter" to route water away from the computer. …”
