Differential Electronic Module (DEM): Removal

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
NOTE: If installing new components, there is no reason to remove the seals from the old components.
NOTE: The differential electronic module (DEM) and solenoid valve are calibrated together and must be installed as a set. If installing a new DEM or solenoid valve, install them as a set only.
  1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to JACKING AND LIFTING article.
  2. Disconnect the DEM by pushing the connector tab through the slot while pulling the connector out.
