3. On AN/DN/HB/JR/LH/PT/WG/WJ - vehicles (other vehicles proceed to the next step), raise the vehicle on a suitable hoist.

4. On AN/DN/ND - vehicles (other vehicles proceed to the next step), remove the exhaust heat shield covering the cooling coil housing drain.

5. Inspect the cooling coil housing drain for leaves or other foreign material that may be blocking the drain.

6. On AN/DN/DR/HB/KJ vehicles (other vehicles proceed to next step), cap off the drain tube using a suitable cap. When the drain tube is capped off, proceed to Step # 9.

7. On ND vehicles (other vehicles proceed to next step), plug the cooling coil drain using a piece of plastic or a shop towel. When the drain tube is plugged, proceed to Step #9.
