Battery Tray and PCM Component Installation Note

  1. Install the battery tray and PCM component as a single unit.
  2. Connect the PCM connector using the following procedure:
    CAUTION:
    • Do not touch the PCM connector terminal. The terminal is extremely thin and can be damaged by touching it.
    • If the PCM connector is inserted at an angle and the lever is moved, the connector could be damaged. Verify that the PCM connector is inserted straight.
