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 PCM damage, the ignition
must be in the “OFF” position in order to disconnect or
reconnect power to the PCM (for example: battery cable,
PCM pigtail, PCM fuse, jumper cables, etc.).
IMPORTANT:When replacing the production PCM
with a service PCM, it is important to transfer the
broadcast code and production PCM number to the
service PCM label. This will allow positive identification of
PCM parts throughout the service life of the vehicle. Do
not record this information on the metal PCM cover.
IMPORTANT:The ignition should always be in the
“OFF” position in order to install or remove the PCM
connectors.
Service of the PCM should normally consist of either re-
placement of the PCM or EEPROM programming. If the
diagnostic procedures call for the PCM to be replaced,
the PCM should be checked first to ensure it is the correct
part. If it is, remove the faulty PCM and install the new
service PCM.
The service PCM EEPROM will not be programmed.
DTC P0601 indicates the check sum error.
Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Block the wheels.
3. Remove the front console assembly.
1. Remove the four screws.
TS23755
2. Remove the transfer shift lever knob by
unscrewing the knob.
3. Move the transmission gear selector out of the
park position.
4. Lift up sharply on the back edge of the assembly.
5. Disconnect the seat heater switch connectors (if
equipped).
6. Disconnect the POWER and WINTER switch
connectors.
7. Lift out the front console assembly.

6. Adjust the accelerator cable at the throttle body.
Refer to
Accelerator Cable Adjustment.
7. Install the engine cover.
Adjustment Procedure
1. Loosen the adjusting nut and lock nut.
2. Pull outer cable closing fully the throttle valve.
3. Tighten adjusting nut and lock nut temporarily.
035RW004
4. Loosen adjusting nut by three turns and tighten lock
nut. Then, manually operating the throttle valve,
make sure that the valve lever returns up to the
stopper screw.
IMPORTANT:The valve lever must return up to the
stopper screw. If the valve lever does not reach the
stopper screw, repeat the procedure again from step 1.
5. It does not reach the stopper screw, repeat from step
1.

a clicking sound at the full-stroke position.
Fuel Filter Cap
General Description
The fuel filler cap includes a vacuum valve and a pressure
valve.If high vacuum or high pressure occurs in the fuel tank,
each valve works to adjust the pressure in order to
prevent damage to the tank at the EGR valve.
TS23767
Inspection Procedure
NOTE: Replace the fuel filler cap with the same type of
filler cap that was originally installed on the vehicle.
Check the seal ring in the filler cap for any abnormality
and for seal condition.
Replace the filler cap if any abnormality is found.
Fuel Filter
Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the fuel filler cap.

Weather-Pack Connector
Tools Required
J 28742-A Weather-Pack II Terminal Remover
Removal Procedure
A Weather-Pack connector can be identified by a rubber
seal at the rear of the connector. This engine room
connector protects against moisture and dirt, which could
from oxidation and deposits on the terminals. This
protection is important, because of the low voltage and
the low amperage found in the electronic systems.
1. Open the secondary lock hinge on the connector.

6E–333 ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS
2. Use tool J 28742-A or the equivalent to remove the
pin and the sleeve terminals. Push on J 28742-A to
release.
NOTE: Do the use an ordinary pick or the terminal may
be bent or deformed. Unlike standard blade terminals,
these terminals cannot be straightened after they have
been improperly bent.
071
3. Cut the wire immediately behind the cable seal.
072
Installation Procedure
Make certain the connectors are properly seated and all
of the sealing rings are in place when you reconnect the
leads. The secondary lock hinge provides a backup
locking feature for the connector. The secondary lock
hinge is used for added reliability. This flap should retain
the terminals even if the small terminal lock tangs are not
positioned properly.
Do not replace the Weather-Pack connections with
standard connections. Read the instructions provided
with the Weather-Pack connector and terminal packages.
1. Replace the terminal.2. Slip the new seal onto the wire.
3. Strip 5 mm (0.2”) of insulation from the wire.
4. Crimp the terminal over the wire and the seal.
073
5. Push the terminal and the connector to engage the
locking tangs.

6. Close the secondary locking hinge.
Com-Pack III
General Information
The Com-Pack III terminal looks similar to some
Weather-Pack terminals. This terminal is not sealed and
is used where resistance to the environment is not
required. Use the standard method when repairing a
terminal. Do not use the Weather-Pack terminal tool J
28742-A or equivalent. These will damage the terminals.

temperature (ECT) sensor.
1. Slide the seal (1) back on the wire.
2. Insert the J 35689 tool or equivalent (3) in order to
release the terminal locking tang (2).
060
3. Push the wire and the terminal out through the
connector. If you reuse the terminal, reshape the
locking tang.
Installation Procedure
Metri-Pack terminals are also referred to as “pull-to-seat”
terminals.
1. In order to install a terminal on a wire, the wire must be
inserted through the seal (2) and through the
connector (3).
2. The terminal (1) is then crimped onto the wire.
061
3. Then the terminal is pulled back into the connector to
seat it in place.
