                        The exhaust temperature sensor and exhaust pressure differential sensor line fittings may be difficult to remove when the engine exhaust system temperature is below 48°C (120°F). Excessive force may damage the threads in the exhaust manifold or exhaust pipe.

                        If there is any mis-positioning, incorrect installation, or failure of components in the brake system pipes, hoses, or wheel cylinders, check for brake damage. The exhaust system components must have adequate clearance from the floor pan to avoid overheating of the floor pan, damage to the passenger compartment carpets and damage to items in the luggage compartments.
