Could blow mega fuse/fuses, fusible links, ruin the battery, fry battery harness, damage the ECU/computer module. Granted some of these are worse case scenarios.

If you crossed them by connecting them to the wrong battery terminals it will fry all sorts of things. Just touching them to each other would do nothing.

I went to the mechanic who changed the ERG valve in and reset the code. He said its a generic code and he couldn't do anything else. I went to the toyota dealer who said they would have to change the vavle again since that's the code!!! the smog shop couldn't help they don't give detailed info on 2000 and above vehicles. So I need to pass smog and no one can help. it could be anything with the PO 401 code. I need to find out what it is and fix it. it's a 2000 Toyota Camry 4 cylinder. 7 Answers
