damage, therefore, it is important to use care when
handling and testing electronic components.
NOTE: To prevent possible Electrostatic Discharge
damage, follow these guidelines:
Do not touch the control module connector pins or
soldered components on the control module circuit
board.
Do not open the replacement part package until the
part is ready to be installed.
Before removing the part from the package, ground
the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.
If the part has been handled while sliding across the
seat, or while sitting down from a standing position, or
while walking a distance, touch a known good ground
before installing the part.
NOTE: To prevent internal ECM damage, the ignition
must be in the ªOFFº position in order to disconnect or
reconnect power to the ECM (for example: battery cable,
ECM pigtail, ECM fuse, jumper cables, etc.).
IMPORTANT:When replacing the production ECM
with a service ECM, it is important to transfer the
broadcast code and production ECM number to the
service ECM label. This will allow positive identification of
ECM parts throughout the service life of the vehicle. Do
not record this information on the metal ECM cover.
IMPORTANT:The ignition should always be in the
ªOFFº position in order to install or remove the ECM
connectors.
Service of the ECM should normally consist of either re-
placement of the ECM. If the diagnostic procedures call
for the ECM to be replaced, the ECM should be checked
first to ensure it is the correct part. If it is, remove the
faulty ECM and install the new service ECM.
DTC P0601 indicates the check sum error.
Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Disconnect the ECM connector.

Function Check
Use a Tech 2 to check the ITP sensor output voltage at
closed throttle.
The voltage should be under 0.85 volt.
If the reading is greater than 0.85 volt, check the
throttle shaft to see if it is binding.If the throttle shaft is not binding and the throttle cable
is properly adjusted, install a new ITP sensor.
Installation Procedure
1. Install the ITP sensor on the throttle body with the
bolts.

Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
Removal Procedure
CAUTION: The VSS is located on the right side of
the transfer case just ahead of the rear propeller
shaft and very close to the exhaust pipes. Be sure
that the exhaust pipes are cool enough to touch
before trying to remove the VSS. If the pipes are hot,
you could be burned.
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Disconnect the VSS electrical connector.
TS23748
3. Remove the bolt and the clamp securing the VSS in
place.
IMPORTANT:Have a container ready to catch any fluid
that leaks out when the VSS is removed from the transfer
case.
TS23780
4. Remove the VSS from the transfer case by wiggling it
slightly and pulling it straight out.
Inspection Procedure
1. Inspect the electrical connector for signs of corrosion
or warping. Replace the VSS if the electrical
connector is corroded or warped.
2. Inspect the VSS driven gear for chips, breaks, or worn
condition. Replace the VSS if the driven gear is
chipped, broken or worn.
3. Inspect the O-ring for wear, nicks, tears, or
looseness. Replace the O-ring if necessary.
Installation Procedure
1. Install the VSS in the transfer case with the notch for
the connector facing the rear.
2. Secure the VSS in place with the clamp and the bolt.
Tighten
Tighten the bolt to 16 N´m (12 lb ft.).

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire and personal
injury, it is necessary to relieve the fuel system
pressure before servicing the fuel system
components.
CAUTION: After relieving the system pressure, a
small amount of fuel may be released when servicing
fuel lines or connections. Reduce the chance of
personal injury by covering the fuel line fittings with
a shop towel before disconnecting the fittings. The
towels will absorb any fuel that may leak out. When
the disconnect is completed, place the towel in an
approved container.
