Note. Memory Heated Seat/Mirror Module (MHSMM) is located under front of driver seat. (Схема №4)
- Note position of driver seat. Move driver seat as far rearward and upward as possible to gain access to MHSMM. If necessary, remove seat from vehicle. Disconnect negative battery cable and wait 2 minutes.
- Remove 2 MHSMM-to-seat frame screws. Disconnect MHSMM connectors. Remove MHSMM from seat. To install, reverse removal procedure. Turn ignition on, then reconnect battery. Return driver seat to original position.
Note. Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is located at driver side front corner of engine compartment, between power distribution center and Transmission Control Module (TCM). (Схема №3)
Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove speed control servo with bracket and wiring harness, and set aside. Remove filler neck from windshield washer fluid bottle. Remove TCM for access to PCM. Remove PCM bolt, and pull PCM outward. Disconnect connectors from PCM. Remove PCM. To install, reverse removal procedure. Program module(s) as necessary. See appropriate module under PROGRAMMING .
