Service Procedure

1. Open the hood.





2. Inspect the generator wiring harness where it passes the valve cover stud located on the front left comer of the engine (Figure 1). If the wiring insulation is damaged from contact with the stud, wrap it with high quality electrical tape.

3. Install one of the protective caps over the stud on the left front corner of the valve cover (Figure 1).





4. Pull the generator wiring harness up and rearward over the valve cover. Secure the generator harness to the injector harness with the provided tie strap (Figure 2).





5. Inspect the rear engine wiring harness where it passes the valve cover stud that is located on the rear left corner of the engine (Figure 3). If the wiring insulation is damaged from contact with the stud, wrap it with high quality electrical tape.





6. Grab the rear engine harness and gently pull it upward while applying a slight counterclockwise twist to reposition the harness away from the stud (Figure 4). Make sure that there is at least 3/8" (10 mm) clearance between the harness and the stud.

7. Install the other protective cap over the stud on the left rear corner of the valve cover (Figure 4).
