It's fixed. Sorta. I bought a set of wires from AutoZone because the
dealership is closed by now. The problem is solved and the code reader reset the code and it didn't come back. The resistance of the new wires was considerably more uniform than in the old wires. I don't know if this is because the old wires are made to a different standard, or they were close to failure among the entire set.

Thanks. I installed new wires - three days ago - and the motor runs like
