CAUTION:

• All SRS electrical wiring harnesses are covered with yellow outer insulation.
• Replace the entire affected SRS harness assembly if it has an open circuit or damaged wiring.
• Before disconnecting the SRS harness, turn the ignition switch off, disconnect the negative and positive battery cables, and wait at least three minutes.

1. When the engine is cool, drain the engine coolant from the radiator, see COOLING SYSTEM.

WARNING:

• Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot; the engine coolant is under pressure and could severely scald you.
• Keep hands away from the radiator fan. The fan may start automatically without warning and run for up to 15 minutes, even after the engine is turned off.

2. Disconnect the heater hoses at the heater.

CAUTION: Engine coolant will damage paint. Quickly rinse any spilled engine coolant from painted surfaces.

Note: Engine coolant will run out when the hoses are disconnected. Drain the coolant into a clean drip pan.
