Before attempting any repairs involving steering column, instrument panel or related components, see SERVICE PRECAUTIONS and DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM in appropriate AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEMS article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT.
CAUTION:
When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION before disconnecting battery.
NOTE:
Vehicles are designed for starter mounting without shims. A single shim or double shims may have been added to correct a noise or engagement condition. Clearance shims .039" (1.0 mm) thick are available in 3 different shapes. When installing starter, any previously installed shims should be replaced in original location to ensure proper pinion to flywheel clearance.
