Air ±ilter Canister Removal
Use a little TLC when you remove the air flter element’s canister housing on the
curbside oF the vehicle. Do
not
set the housing on the sensor wire For the vehicle’s
fre suppression system (±SS). The weight oF the housing will nick or cut the wire,
causing the ±SS to activate without warning.
IF that happens, you’ll be blasted by
a loud explosion, not to mention the
gray, fne chemical dust that’ll cover
you and the engine and everything else
within an arm’s throw. What a mess!
So easy does it when you remove the
canister housing.
Sensor Wire Attire
Make it a habit to eyeball the ±SS’s sensor
wire where it’s attached to the engine shield.
Look For a loose wire and connections. A loose
wire that touches the engine also sets oFF the
±SS!
And be careFul where you place your boot
while stepping around the engine. It goes without
saying—do
not
step on the sensor wire!
