On‐Vehicle Inspection

1.  Remove the battery duct and battery cover. (See BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION[LF, L3].)

2.  Disconnect the negative battery cable.

3.  Remove the air cleaner component. (See INTAKE AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION[LF, L3].)

Caution

•  Water or foreign objects entering the connector can cause a poor connection or corrosion. Be sure not to drop water or foreign objects on the connector when disconnecting it.

4.  Disconnect the transaxle connector (primary).
