NOTE: Codo P0715 (15) on the PCM doesn't always moan there's an electricalproblem in the mainshaft or countershaft speed sensor circuit; code P07'15 (15)may also indicate a mechanical problem in the transmission. Any problem caus-ing irregular countershaft to mainshaft spoed difference can cause this codo; thiscan sometimes be seen in A'/T Free2e Data. Freeze Data can also indicate an elec-trical problem in the sensor circuits ;f one of the sensors reads 0 mph during atest dnve.

Make sure lifts. iacks, and safety stands aro placed
properly, and hoist brackets are attached to the col-
rest position on the engine lsee section 11.
Apply th€ parking brake and block the r€ar wheels,
so vehicls will noi roll off the stands and fall on you
while working under it.
NOTE: Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted
surfaces.
Disconnect the negative terminal, then disconnect
the positive terminal from the battery.
Remove the intake air duct and the air cleaner hous-
ing assembly,
Remove the starter cables. Remove the harness
clamp from the clamp bracket.
