Accessing PCM:

1. Slide the PCM Isolators (3) on to the PCM (2).
2. Install Install the PCM connectors (1 and 5).

Air Cleaner Assembly:

7. Ensure that the locating pin grommets are present and properly positioned in the bottom of the air cleaner assembly (1).
8. Install the air cleaner assembly (1) onto the air inlet housing (2).

Important: An improperly installed air cleaner or a distorted /missing Intake Air Duct may cause a DTC to set. Ensure air cleaner assembly and IA duct is installed correctly and that there are no kinks or folds in the IA Duct or possible debris in the air cleaner assembly or the MAF sensor inlet screen that may distort the air flow.

9. Install the Intake Air duct to the air cleaner assembly and the MAF sensor.
^ Tighten the Intake Air duct clamps to 3 Nm (27 lb in).

10. Connect the IAT sensor connector.
11. Install the gusset (brace) between the LH fender and the radiator core support.

^ The PCM connectors are fully engaged into the PCM.
^ That all fuses are present and not blown.

15. Connect a scan tool and perform the following:
