The advanced failure analysis (afa) was conducted by reviewing the attached images and investigation text from the initial failure analysis (fa) since the physical part was not available.While the initial fa finding of the broken pin or prong was confirmed, the more relevant fa code is the connector issue.The fa code has been updated to reflect this.The diagnosis detail of the connector issue is described as connector damage which prevents proper mating with other connectors, which is the case for this cable.The images appeared to exhibit a monopolar cable with a broken pin at position 3 at p1, the generator side of the cable.
