REPAIR PROCEDURE
NOTE:
Make sure you have all of your customer's keys.
1. Carefully remove the passenger's door sill trim. If you break any of the trim clips, replace them (P/N 91560-S06-003, H/C 6353502).
2. Remove the carpet hold-down clips on the door sill.
3. Remove the carpet hold-down clip in the passenger's footwell under the glove box. Pull back the carpet.
4. Remove the ECM cover mounting nuts.
5. Pivot the lower edge of the ECM cover off the mounting studs. Lift the upper edge of the cover off the mounting studs, then pull the cover down and back so it clears the evaporator drain tube.
6. Remove the two bolts mounting the ECM to the cover. Disconnect the ECM connectors, and remove the ECM.
7. Install the new ECM and the cover in the reverse order of removal.
8. Reinstall the carpet and the door sill trim.
9. Connect the PGM Tester to the data link connector (DLC).
10. Use the PGM Tester to program the customer's immobilizer key codes into the ECM. Verify that all the keys will start the engine.
NOTE:
Make sure the PGM Tester software is SN32OP or later.
11. Do the idle learn procedure:
^ Warm the engine to normal operating temperature.
^ Let the engine idle for 10 minutes. If the radiator fan comes on, do not include its running time in the 10 minutes.
12. Center-punch a completion mark above the eighth character of the engine compartment VIN.
13. For California residents: Fill out and give to your customer a Vehicle Emission Recall - Proof of Correction certificate. Advise them to keep this certificate as proof that the emissions recall was completed. Your customer will need to submit this certificate to the DMV if the DMV requests it. A supply of these salmon-colored certificates was sent to your service manager. If you need more, use reorder number Y0657.
