Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Action








Refer to the charts to determine the appropriate course of action.

Note:
In the case of customer brings to the dealer a vehicle that exhibits a drivability concern that the recall action does not eradicate, normal diagnostic procedures can be followed as necessary to determine the root cause. The completion of any subsequent repairs are subject to normal New Car Warranty or Select Edition Warranty, or customer pay authorization as appropriate.

Remove the ECM from the vehicle by the following procedure.

1. Connect the WDS to the vehicle's data link connector.

2. Record any diagnostic trouble codes stored in the ECM, then clear them from the system.

3. Turn the ignition switch to 'off', wait 20 seconds before continuing with this procedure.

4. Note customer settings such as radio stations.

5. Open the luggage compartment, remove the cover from the battery and disconnect the battery ground cable.

REMOVING ECM

1. Open the right side door. Remove the 'A' post-trim panel.

2. Remove the trim panel-mounting bracket.

3. Remove the retaining bolt; disengage the upper spade mounting of the ECM from the slot in the 'A' post. Note the location of the earth connections.

4. Disconnect both harness connectors from the ECM and remove it from the vehicle.

5. Mark the VIN on the side of the ECM, to prevent confusion when more than one ECM is being modified.
