56. Install the ECM/PCM (A), then install the ECM/PCM
cover (B).
57. Connect the battery cables (A) to the under-hood fuse/relay box.
58. Install the harness clamp (B). 59. Install the pipe (A).
60. Connect the connector (B), and install the harness
clamps (C).
61. Install the under cowl-panel (see step 4 on page 20-164).
62. Install the air cleaner assembly (see page 11-345).
63. Install the front wheels.
64. Do the battery installation procedure (see page 22-69).
65. Inspect for fuel leaks. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II) (do not operate the starter) so the fuel pump
runs for about 2 seconds and pressurizes the fuel
line. Repeat this operation three times, then check
for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.
66. Refill the engine with engine oil (see step 4 on page 8-10).

24. Install the drive belt (see page 4-31).
25. Install the air cleaner assembly (see page 11-345).
26. After installation, check that all tubes, hoses and connectors are installed correctly.
27. Inspect for fuel leaks. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II) (do not operate the starter) so that the fuel
pump runs for about 2 seconds and pressurizes the
fuel line. Repeat this operation three times, then
check for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.
