CAUTION:
- Water or foreign objects entering the connector can cause a poor connection or corrosion. Be sure not to drop water or foreign objects on the connector when disconnecting it.

- Remove the TCM. (See TCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
- Connect the TCM connector.
- Connect the negative battery cable.
