1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Remove the Engine Control Module (ECM) from the vehicle following the instructions in the Shop Manual.

2. With the bottom side up on the ECM, bend the ten tabs straight up to release the cover from the base and separate.

6. Install the ECM into the vehicle.
