| Description of the problem | Almost every time we start the van, the odometer has all dashes through the reading and the speedometer will not work. After restarting the van sometimes several times it fixes itself. The problem has been getting progressively worse. I have been seeing a lot of information in forums about water getting on the pcm due to a manufacture error, but have not seen a recall for the issue. After removal of the air damn to do minor maintenance to the vehicle water is able to seep pass a misplaced spot weld and drip on top of the pcm unit. Damage to the unit causes several issues including the problem i am facing with my van. |
