PROCEDURE
DANGER
Park vehicle safely, apply parking brake, stop the engine. Prior to working on the vehicle, set the ignition
switch to the OFF position and trip the main circuit breakers equipped with a trip button. On Commuter
type vehicles, set the battery master switch (master cut-out) to the OFF position.
PRELIMINARY STEPS
1. Open the engine compartment door and the SCR converter access door.
2. Remove the SCR converter access door. Doing so will
allow extraction of the SCR converter out of its
compartment.
3. The SCR converter is heavy, huge and the free space in the opening is limited. Do whatever is
necessary to protect the fiberglass and the paint around the opening giving access to the SCR. Using
adhesive tape, place pieces of cardboard around the area.
4. Remove the SCR overhead ventilation grille.
5. Loosen the clamp and then remove the diffuser
assembly with the drain tube attached.
