8. Disconnect ABS module electrical connectors and remove module.

INSTALLATION
1. Connect ABS module electrical connectors.
2. Lower ABS module into bracket while guiding attachment stud into slot in cross car beam.

CAUTION: Torque is critical to preserve the integrity of the plastic insulator on the ABS module. Damage to the ABS module can result from over torque of the nut.

3. Install and torque nut.
^ Torque to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs.)
4. Install I/P upper trim pad sound insulator.

NOTE:
^ Make sure to tuck in all flaps.
^ Be sure I/P upper trim panel seal is correctly seated on forward edge before installing upper trim panel.

(The ABS service replacement module will have a DTC 82 in it from the factory and can only be cleared by reprogramming the ABS control module with the correct calibration.)
