Multifunction Electronic Modules: Removal & Installation Mercury Mountaineer III

REMOVAL

Note. The steps included in the SJB removal and installation procedure are critical to restoring the vehicle security and tire pressure monitoring systems to normal operation. A new SJB is delivered in manufacturing mode with 6 preset diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to the tire pressure monitoring system. The presence of these DTCs requires the installation procedures be followed in order to clear the DTCs and enable normal SJB operations.

Note. Prior to the removal of the SJB, it is necessary to upload the module configuration information to the diagnostic tool. This information must be downloaded to the new SJB after installation. For additional information, refer to MODULE CONFIGURATION .

  1. Remove the driver door scuff plate. For additional information, refer to «INTERIOR TRIM AND ORNAMENTATION»(ref-270927) .
  2. Position the LH door opening weather seal aside.
  3. Remove the push pin and the cowl side trim panel.
  4. Remove the 2 bolts and the parking brake release handle.
  5. Disconnect the parking brake switch electrical connector.
  6. Release the hood release cable push pin from the parking brake control bracket.
  7. Release the harness clip from the parking brake cable housing.
  8. Remove the 3 bolts and position the parking brake control assembly under the brake pedal.
  9. Using a suitable tool, pry the mid-to-upper side of the headlight switch bezel away from the instrument panel, disconnect the 2 electrical connectors and position the bezel assembly aside.
  10. If necessary, push the LH instrument panel side finish panel out and position it aside.
  11. Through the headlight switch bezel opening, remove the 2 SJB bolts.
  12. From under the instrument panel, remove the third SJB bolt.
  13. Pull the SJB down out of the 2 locating pins, disconnect the 5 electrical connectors and remove the SJB.

INSTALLATION

Note. When a new SJB is installed, all customer RKE transmitters may be required to program the RKE transmitters to the new SJB.

  1. Position the SJB into the 2 locating pins and connect the 5 electrical connectors.
  2. From under the instrument panel, install the SJB bolt.
  3. Through the headlight switch bezel opening, install the 2 SJB bolts.
