  1. Remove the drive motor generator control module from the vehicle. Refer to Drive Motor Generator Control Module Assembly Replacement .
  2. Remove the coolant pipe hoses (1), if installed.
  3. CAUTION: The module must be drained of all residual coolant prior to disassembly. Failure to properly drain all residual coolant may cause electronic circuit damage to occur during disassembly.
    NOTE: Place a container under the coolant outlet pipe to capture the escaping coolant.
  4. Drain the drive motor generator control module assembly of residual coolant by applying 30 psi regulated compressed air to the coolant inlet pipe until no coolant remains.
