harness connector from sensor.
2. Remove compressor elbow and charge air plumbing.
3. Using the appropriate tool, remove the turbocharger inlet Air Temperature Sensor from the
inlet pipe.

INSTALLATION OF THE TURBOCHARGER INLET AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR

Install as follows:
NOTICE:
When installing the Air Temperature Sensor into the compressor
elbow, the elbow must first be removed from the engine and be at
ambient temperature. Failure to remove elbow to install the sensor
could result in an air leak at the temperature sensor.

1. 1. Using the appropriate tool, install the turbocharger inlet Air Temperature Sensor and new
gasket into the compressor elbow. Torque to 35 N·m (26 lb·ft).
2. Install compressor elbow and charge air compressor plumbing. Torque clamps to 6 N·m (4 lb·ft).
3. Install harness connector onto the turbocharger inlet Air Temperature Sensor and push the
