Remove the 3 nuts and TED assembly from the cushion frame.
- To install, tighten to 6 Nm (53 lb-in).
- To install, check for correct fit between the cushion manifold, foam pad and TED assembly, to make sure there is no airflow obstruction, cushion crush or foreign material.
NOTE: Inspect the climate controlled seat cushion manifold and foam pad for crush or obstruction. Before installation, repair as needed. Failure to do so may cause the climate control to work inefficiently.
To install, reverse the removal procedure.
