AIR Cleaner Assembly Replacement

REMOVAL PROCEDURE




1. Remove the coolant surge inlet hose (1) from the throttle body to surge tank (2) (coolant recovery tank).




2. Remove the air cleaner cover (3).




3. Remove the IAT sensor connector from the IAT sensor (1).




4. Loosen the intake air duct (1) clamp at the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor end of the duct.
5. Disconnect the intake air duct (1) from the MAF sensor.
6. Remove the air cleaner cover.
7. Inspect the air cleaner element.
8. Remove any loose debris that may be found laying in the base of the air cleaner.
9. Remove the trim panel in front of the air cleaner cover to gain access to the bolts.
10. Remove the bolts from the assembly.
11. Remove the PCM from the PCM Air Box (4).

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE





IMPORTANT: An improperly installed air cleaner or a distorted or missing intake air duct may cause at DTC to set. Ensure that the air cleaner assembly and intake air duct is installed correctly and that there are no kinks or folds in the intake air duct. Debris in the air cleaner assembly or MAF sensor inlet screen that may distort air flow can set a DTC.

1. Install the PCM (1) into the air inlet housing (2).
2. Install the bolts from the assembly.
3. Install the trim panel in front of the air cleaner cover.




4. Install a new air filter element.

IMPORTANT: The outlet of the air cleaner assembly and the MAF sensor inlet duct must be lined up when completely installed. Misalignment may cause incorrect air flow readings resulting in MIL illumination or a driveabilty concern.

5. Pivot the air cleaner cover and duct assembly until the latches and cover engage in the air cleaner element base.
6. Inspect to be sure that both latches latch.
7. Install the intake air duct over the MAF sensor (2), being careful to ensure that the intake air duct is secure around the entire outer edge of the MAF sensor.

Tighten
Tighten the clamp assembly to 3 N.m (27 lb in).




8. Connect the IAT sensor connector (1) to the IAT sensor.




9. Install the coolant surge inlet hose (1) from the throttle body to surge tank (2) (coolant recovery tank).




10. Install the air cleaner cover (3).

Tighten
Tighten the cover bolt to 9 N.m (80 lb in).
