  1. Install new APM coolant seal (3).
  2. Position the APM (2) onto the PIM ensuring the seal remains in place.
  3. CAUTION: Refer to Fastener Caution .
  4. Install the accessory DC power control module (APM) bolts (1). Tighten the bolts to 10 N.m (89 lb in).
  5. NOTE: Only use pre-mixed DEX-COOL® on the coolant pipe O-ring to aid in tube installation.
  6. Install the drive motor generator power inverter coolant pipes unless a service replacement PIM is being installed:
    1. Lubricate the new seals (6, 9) with pre-mixed DEX-COOL®.
    2. Install new seals (6, 9) onto the drive motor generator power inverter coolant pipes (5, 8).
    3. Install the coolant pipes (5, 8) to the PIM assembly with bolts (4, 7). Tighten the bolts to 5 N.m (44 lb in).

  8. Rotate the drive motor generator control module assembly onto the APM.
  9. Clamp the GE-48494:  adapter kit components (2, 3) to a coolant pipe.
  10. Plug the remaining coolant pipe with the GE-48494:  adapter kit plug and clamp (1).
  11. Apply 20 psi (138 kPa) pressure with J 24460-01:  pressure tester (4).
  12. Monitor the pressure tester gauge for 5 minutes and ensure that pressure remains at the specified value.
    • If the specified pressure cannot be maintained, disassemble the drive motor generator control module assembly and replace the coolant seal.
    • If pressure remains at the specified value, proceed to the next step.
  13. Remove all GE-48494:  adapter kit components.
