Removal and Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

    All vehicles 

    CAUTION: Make sure the ignition switch is in the OFF position prior to working on the electronic engine controls.
  1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
    2. WARNING: Never remove the pressure relief cap while the engine is operating or when the cooling system is hot. Failure to follow these instructions can result in damage to the cooling system or engine or result in personal injury. To avoid having scalding hot coolant or steam blow out of the degas bottle when removing the pressure relief cap, wait until the engine has cooled, then wrap a thick cloth around the pressure relief cap and turn it slowly. Step back while the pressure is released from the cooling system. When certain all the pressure has been released, (still with a cloth) turn and remove the pressure relief cap. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury.

  8. Position out the FICM and disconnect the electrical connectors. Remove the FICM.
    9. CAUTION: With the engine cold, fill vehicles without a yellow fill level decal on the degas bottle only to the MIN line. The correct fill level on these vehicles is between the MIN line and 15 mm (0.59 in) below the MIN line. Fill vehicles with a yellow fill level decal to within the yellow cold fill range shown on the decal. These fill levels will allow for coolant expansion. Overfilling the degas bottle may result in damage to the pressure cap, which can cause the engine to overheat.
  9. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
