Release Cable

Begin repair of the hood primary latch release cable by opening the hood and taking out the front section of the air cleaner assembly. Begin by removing all related panels and components then disconnect the Hood Cable from the Hood Latch. You must open the retaining clips of the Hood Cable while you remove vehicle-mounting screws which secure the hood release handle in position. The Hood Cable grommet needs removal from the dash panel's front opening and the Hood Cable needs to be extracted from the vehicle body. New Hood Cable installation requires its placement in the vehicle followed by Hood Cable grommet placement on the dashboard panel's front. Follow the fastener notice while performing this step. Secure the hood release handle to the vehicle using screws that should achieve a torque setting of 2 n.m (18 lb in). Connect the Hood Cable through the clips to its destination at the Hood Latch. Install all related panels followed by components while reattaching the air cleaner front piece before completing the hood assembly.

Starting the Hood Cable replacement process requires you to open the hood then remove the front air cleaner assembly section with its associated panels before proceeding. The Hood Cable needs to be detached from the Hood Latch followed by disengaging the clips that secure the Hood Cable to the vehicle body. Begin replacement by taking away the screws securing the hood handle to the vehicle while extracting the Hood Cable grommet at the front of the dash panel before pulling out the Hood Cable from its mounting position. The new Hood Cable should go into position before inserting the Hood Cable grommet to the front of the dash panel while following the fastener notice in service precautions. Two n.m (17 lb in) torque should be the target when mounting screws to the hood handle. Placing the Hood Cable into the clips allows you to link it with the Hood Latch. Reinstall all necessary panels to which you added components and also reinstall the front air cleaner section before you close the hood.

Disconnect the hood release cable from the hood latch and open the clips that retain the hood release cable to the vehicle.

Position the new hood release cable in the vehicle and install the hood release cable grommet to the front of the dash panel, ensuring to follow fastener caution guidelines.
