Water Outlet Replacement

Removal
1. Write down the customer's radio station preset.
2. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery first, then disconnect the positive cable.
3. Drain the engine coolant.





4. Remove the engine cover.





5. Remove the breather pipe (A) and brake booster vacuum hose bracket (B) from the air cleaner housing, then remove the air cleaner housing/ intake air duct assembly (C).





6. Disconnect the camshaft position (CMP) sensor A (on the intake side) connector (A), CMP sensor B (on the exhaust side) connector (B), engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor connector (C), intake air temperature (IAT) sensor connector (D), and evaporative emission (EVAP) purge control solenoid valve connector (E). Remove the harness clamp (F) and water bypass hose (G).





7. Remove the ground cable (A), manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor bracket (B), and harness holder mounting bolts (C).





8. Remove the heater hoses.
9. Remove the throttle body.





10. Remove the connecting pipes (A) and upper radiator hose (B).
11. Remove the CMP sensor A and the CMP sensor B.





12. Remove the water outlet.

Installation
13. Clean and dry the cylinder head mating surfaces.





14. Apply liquid gasket, P/N 08717-0004, 08718-0001, or 08718-0002, to the cylinder head mating surface of the water outlet.

NOTE: Apply a 1 mm - 2.5 mm (0.04 - 0.10 inch) wide bead of liquid gasket.





15. Install the water outlet.
16. Install the CMP sensor A and the CMP sensor B.





17. Install the upper radiator hose (A) and connecting pipes (B) with new O-rings (C).
18. Install the throttle body.





19. Install the heater hoses.





20. Install the harness holder mounting bolts (A), MAP sensor bracket mounting bolt (B), and ground cable (C).





21. Connect the CMP sensor A connector (A), CMP sensor B connector (B), ECT sensor connector (C), IAT sensor connector (D), and EVAP purge control solenoid valve connector (E). Install the harness clamp (F) and water bypass hose (G).





22. Install the air cleaner housing/intake air duct assembly (A), then install the brake booster vacuum hose bracket (B) and breather pipe (C).





23. Install the engine cover.
24. Connect the positive cable to the battery first, then connect the negative cable.
25. Remove the No. 15 (40 A) fuse from the under-hood fuse/relay box.
26. Refill the radiator with engine coolant, and bleed air from the cooling system with the heater valve open.
27. If the IMA battery level gauge (BAT) displays no segments, start the engine, and hold it between 3,500 rpm and 4,000 rpm without load (in Park or neutral) until the BAT displays at least three segments.
28. Reinstall the No. 15 (40A) fuse to the under-hood fuse/relay box.
29. Do the engine control module (ECM) idle learn procedure.
30. Enter the customer's radio station presets.
31. Set the clock.
