REMOVAL

HINT

  1. Use the same procedures for the LH side and RH side.
  2. The procedures listed below are for the LH side.

Scheme 38

Scheme 38
  1. REMOVE COWL TOP VENTILATOR LOUVER RH (See «REMOVAL»(ref-349732-S04425564642009120800000) )
  2. DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL CAUTION: Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to prevent airbag and seat belt pretensioner activation. NOTE: After the engine switch is turned off, the HDD navigation system requires approximately 6 minutes to record various types of memory and settings. As a result, after turning the engine switch off, wait 6 minutes or more before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
  3. REMOVE FRONT DOOR INSIDE HANDLE BEZEL PLUG (See «REMOVAL»(ref-349743-S08783415772009120800000) )
  4. REMOVE POWER WINDOW REGULATOR MASTER SWITCH ASSEMBLY (See «REMOVAL»(ref-349743-S08783415772009120800000) )
  5. REMOVE DOOR FRAME GARNISH (See «REMOVAL»(ref-349743-S08783415772009120800000) )
  6. REMOVE FRONT DOOR TRIM BOARD SUB-ASSEMBLY (See «REMOVAL»(ref-349743-S08783415772009120800000) )
  7. REMOVE MULTIPLEX NETWORK FRONT DOOR ECU (See «REMOVAL»(ref-349743-S08783415772009120800000) )
