How to Remove the ECM/PCM for Testing

If the inspection for a trouble code requires voltage or resistance checks at the ECM/PCM connectors, remove the ECM/PCM and test it:

1. Remove the passenger's dashboard lower cover (see DRIVER'S DASHBOARD LOWER COVER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ), the right kick panel (see TRIM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION - DOOR AREA ), and the glove box (see GLOVE BOX REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
2. Remove the bolt. Cut the plastic cross brace in the glove box opening with diagonal cutters in the area shown in Fig 1 , and discard it.

3. Remove the relays (A), then remove the bolts and the glove box frame (B).
