Part 1
Removal
CAUTION:
- Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted surfaces.
- To avoid damage, unplug the wiring connectors carefully while holding the connector portion.
NOTE:
- Mark all wiring and hoses to avoid misconnection.
- To release the fuel system pressure before removing the engine assembly, start the engine with the fuel pump relay removed. And then turn off the ignition switch after engine stops.
1. Remove the engine cover (A).
NOTE:
- To avoid damage, remove the engine cover on room temperature.
- To avoid damage of the engine cover, do not disengage both front and rear mounting point at the same time.
2. Disconnect the battery terminals (A). The negative terminal first.

(-) terminal:
3.9 - 5.9 N.m (0.4 - 0.6 kgf.m, 3.0 - 4.4 lb-ft)
3. Remove the air cleaner assembly.
(1) Remove the air duct (B).
(2) Disconnect the breather hose ( C).
(3) Disconnect the air intake hose and then remove the air cleaner assembly (D).
Tightening torque
Hose clamp bolt:
2.9 - 4.9 N.m (0.3 - 0.5 kgf.m, 2.2 - 3.6 lb-ft)
Air cleaner assembly bolts:
3.9 - 5.9 N.m (0.4 - 0.6 kgf.m, 2.9 - 4.3 lb-ft)
NOTE:
- Install the air intake hose while the center of the mark of hose must be in line with the throttle body rib.
4. Disconnect the ECM connectors (A).
5. Remove the ECM (A).
Tightening torque
Bolts :
19.6 - 29.4N.m (2.0 - 3.0kgf.m, 14.5 - 21.7lb-ft)
