Floor pan insulators have been designed for the higher
floor pan temperatures that result from the use of the catalytic converter
in the exhaust system. When servicing a vehicle in the field, any insulators
that may have been disturbed or removed must be reinstalled in the original
sequence and location.
Perform the following instructions when servicing or replacing interior
floor pan insulators:
| • | The floor pan insulators must be installed in the original position
and sequence. |
| • | Replace the old floor pan insulator with an original equipment
service part. |
| • | Do not modify the floor pan insulator to aid in the installation
procedure. |
| • | Route all electrical wiring harnesses over the floor pan insulators
and secure them in their original position. |
| • | Do not use any spray-on type sound deadeners or trim adhesives
in the area directly over the catalytic converter or the muffler(s). |
