STEP 01

Inspect the motor cable

Confirm that the valve motor is plugged in with at least one inch of cable slack. Check that the cable cannot contact sharp edges or hot exhaust components. Adjust excess length through the prescribed grommet rather than leaving a loose loop underneath.

STEP 02

Check grounding and protection

Verify that the short ground lead at the driver-side hanger mount was installed on the cleaned contact surface and that the hanger was secured. Confirm the body grommet is seated and all interior wiring is secured as shown. The source does not give a numeric hanger-nut torque; obtain the proper specification rather than guessing.

STEP 03

Test before declaring completion

Power the vehicle on and operate the supplied key-fob remote. Observe that both the remote and valve work. Refit the wheel-well screw and disturbed trim. A failed functional check requires wiring and ground diagnosis before the installation is signed off.
