Digital Radio Receiver Replacement

Removal Procedure




1. Disengage the digital radio receiver fascia to digital radio receiver bracket retaining clips (2).
2. Remove the digital radio receiver fascia (1) from the digital radio receiver bracket (3).





Notice:
* Turn the ignition OFF when installing or removing the control module connectors and disconnecting or reconnecting the power to the control module (battery cable, powertrain control module (PCM)/engine control module (ECM)/transaxle control module (TCM) pigtail, control module fuse, jumper cables, etc.) in order to prevent internal control module damage.
* Control module damage may result when the metal case contacts battery voltage. DO NOT contact the control module metal case with battery voltage when servicing a control module, using battery booster cables, or when charging the vehicle battery.
* In order to prevent any possible electrostatic discharge damage to the control module, do no touch the connector pins or the soldered components on the circuit board.
* Remove any debris from around the control module connector surfaces before servicing the control module. Inspect the control module connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing the control module. Ensure that the gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminant intrusion into the control module.
* The replacement control module must be programmed.

3. Disconnect the antenna connector (1) and the harness connector (2) from the digital radio receiver module (3).





Notice: Apply suitable upward pressure on the support bracket retaining clip (2) to disengage the digital radio receiver module (3) from the digital radio receiver bracket (1).
