14. A/T model: Install the shift control cable (A).
15. A/T model: Install the shift cable cover (B), then install the shift cable holder (C).
16. Install exhaust pipe A. Use new gaskets (B) and new self locking nuts (C).
17. Install a new set ring on the end of each driveshaft, then install the driveshafts. Make sure each ring "clicks" into place in the differential and intermediate shaft.
18. Connect the suspension lower arm ball joints.
19. Install the damper fork.
20. Connect the stabilizer links.
21. Lower the hoist.
22. Check the quick connector (A) and set ring (B) for cracks or damage. If the connector and/or set ring are cracked or damaged, replace the connector.
23. Make sure the set ring is in place inside the quick connector. If the set ring is off the connector, replace the quick connector.
24. Replace the O-ring (C) in the quick connector.
25. Check the lock (D). If the lock is damaged or deformed, replace it. When installing the new lock on the connector, press it straight down along the groove.
26. Clean the connecting surface of the thermostat cover (E), then apply clean engine coolant around the connecting surface.
27. Push down the lock (A), then push the quick connector (B) onto the thermostat cover until you hear it click.
28. Install the upper radiator hose (A) and heater hoses (B).
29. A/T model: Install the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) cooler hoses.
30. Install the A/C compressor.
31. Install the power steering (P/S) pump (A), and the P/S hose clamp (B).
32. Install the drive belt,
33. Connect the air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor connector.
34. M/T model: Install the select cable (A) and shift cable (B) with the plastic washers (C), washers (D), and new cotter pins (E).
35. M/T model: Install the clutch slave cylinder (A) and clutch line bracket mounting bolt (B).
36. 2006-2007 models: Push the engine control module (ECM)/powertrain control module (PCM) connectors through the bulkhead, then install the grommet (A) and harness clamps (B).
37. Connect the accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor connector (C).
38. 2003-2005 models: Connect the engine wire harness connectors (A), then install the harness clamp (B).
39. 2006-2007 models: Connect the ECM/PCM connectors (A) and main wire harness connectors (B).
40. Install the evaporative emission (EVAP) canister hose (A) and brake booster vacuum hose (B).
41. Connect the fuel feed hose, then install the quick-connect fitting cover (A). Make sure the connector engages fully.
42. 2003-2005 models: Install the throttle cable, then adjust the cable.
43. 2003-2005 models: Install the cruise control actuator cable, then adjust it.
44. 2006-2007 models: Install the strut brace (A), then install the harness clamp (B) and bolt (C).
45. Connect the harness connector (A).
46. Install the under-hood fuse/relay box (B), then install the battery cables (C).
47. Install the battery base (A), then install the harness clamp (B).
48. Install the air cleaner housing.
49. Install the intake air duct (A), then connect the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor connector (B), and install the vacuum hose (C) and breather pipe (D).
50. Install the battery. Clean the battery posts and cable terminals with sandpaper, then assemble them and apply grease to prevent corrosion.
51. Install the front wheels.
52. A/T model: Move the shift lever to each gear, and verify that the A/T gear position indicator follows the transmission range switch.
53. M/T model: Check that the transmission shift into gear smoothly,
54. Inspect for fuel leaks. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II) (do not operate the starter) so the fuel pump runs for about 2 seconds and pressurizes the fuel line. Repeat this operation two or three times, then check for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.
55. Refill the engine with engine oil.
56. Refill the transmission with fluid.
57. Refill the radiator with engine coolant, and bleed air from the cooling system with the heater valve open.
58. Do the PCM reset procedure.
59. Do the crankshaft position (CKP) pattern clear/CKP pattern learn procedure.
60. Do the PCM idle learn procedure.
61. Inspect the idle speed.
62. Inspect the ignition timing.
63. Check the wheel alignment.
64. Enter the anti-theft codes for the radio and the navigation system, then enter the customer's audio presets.
