Removal - ICU

  1. Remove the remote ground cable from the ground stud on the right strut tower.
  2. Correctly isolate remote ground cable when servicing vehicle by installing the ground cable insulator on the strut tower ground stud as shown in (Fig 1 ) and installing the nut on the stud. This will prevent accidental grounding of the remote ground cable.
