HINT: The new bracket will be oriented the same way the old bracket was.
a. Cut the old plastic zip tie with an appropriate tool to remove the fluid temperature

sensor’s metal bracket from the terminal harness assembly (Figure 155 and
Figure 156).

Cut the plastic zip tie over the metal bracket to avoid damage to the fluid temperature
sensor.

b. Use the new plastic zip tie from the PARTS INFORMATION on page 86 to attach

the fluid temperature sensor of the terminal connector harness to the fluid
temperature sensor’s new metal bracket.

IMPORTANT:


Secure the plastic zip tie at the center notch of three notches on the fluid
temperature sensor (Figure 155 and Figure 156).



Tighten the plastic zip tie.
