- Tighten shift control housing-to-case bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Connect back-up light switch harness connector.
- Install battery tray and bolts. One bolt is located in fender well (1). See Figure . Tighten battery tray-to-frame rail bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
- Install PCM and PCM attachment bolts. Tighten PCM attachment bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
- Reconnect PCM J2 (Black 28-way) harness connector. Ensure battery tray is clean. Ensure the battery cable ends are clean and free of corrosion (clean with a wire brush).
- Ensure the battery is in good physical condition (e.g., no cracks, or obvious damage) and the terminals are clean. Install battery carefully in the battery tray; ensuring the terminals do not short against any metal during the installation.
- Install battery hold-down retainer, locking the battery into the tray. Install and tighten the hold-down retainer nut and screws. See Figure . Tighten battery hold down-to-battery tray fasteners to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
- Connect battery cables (attaching positive first, then negative). Tighten battery cable terminal bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
- Install air cleaner and duct assembly. See AIR CLEANER & DUCT ASSEMBLY .
