Removal and Installation NKS0000H
REMOVAL
1. Open the driver and front passenger window, and then disconnect the battery cable from the negative ter-
minal.
CAUTION:
Before disconnecting the battery, lower both the driver and passenger windows. This will prevent
any interference between the window edge and the vehicle when the door is opened/closed. Dur-
ing normal operation, the window slightly raises and lowers automatically to prevent any window
to vehicle interference. The automatic window function will not work with the battery discon-
nected.
2. Remove engine undercover, using power tools.
3. Remove air cleaner assembly and harness clip. Refer to EM-15, "
AIR CLEANER AND AIR DUCT" .
4. Remove radiator cooling fan assembly. Refer to CO-21, "
COOLING FAN" .
5. Remove alternator and power steering oil pump belt. Refer to EM-12, "
Removal and Installation" .
6. Disconnect alternator connector (1).
7. Remove “B” terminal mounting nut (2).
8. Remove the harness bracket bolts (A).
