1. Remove the front door trim panel (23942). Refer to Section 01-05. Peel back the water shield if necessary to gain access to the mirror wiring connector. 2. Disconnect the wiring connector. Remove rear view mirror mounting hole cover (17K709) located above the front door trim panel (inside window sail cover) by using a flat blade screwdriver to carefully pry off. 3. Remove the three nuts retaining the outside rear view mirror (17682) to the front door (20124). 4. Pull outside rear view mirror away from the front door while guiding the wiring out of the front door. 5. To install, reverse Removal procedure. Tighten nuts to 6-8 Nm (54-70 lb-in). Glass, Outside Mirror Removal NOTE: Power mirror and manual mirror glass replacement procedure ar similar. 1. Push in on the bottom of the glass until it stops. 2. Protect the mirror body with a rag or similar material at the top and insert a flat blade screwdriver between the mirror body and glass. 3. Pry on the glass until it snaps loose from motor assembly. Disconnect the heater wires from the glass, if equipped. 4. Remove the screwdriver and continue to pull the glass by hand until it is completely unsnapped from the motor assembly. Installation 1. Make sure the rubber gasket on the motor is properly installed on the motor assembly. 2. Reconnect heater wires to glass. 3. Position the glass assembly in the mirror, and push on the center of the glass to snap it in place. Push on glass until it is fully seated. Trim Cover Removal and Installation 1. Remove the rear view mirror mounting hole cover, located above the front door trim panel by using a flat blade screwdriver to carefully pry off. Care should be taken not to scratch paint. 2. To install, snap rear view mirror mounting hole cover into place. Be careful not to damage clips. Mirror Control Removal and Installation 1. Remove driver front door trim panel with mirror switch pigtail still attached to harness. 2. Reach around front door trim panel and disconnect switch harness from the main wire harness. 3. Using a small flat blade screwdriver, pry the outside rear view mirror control switch up from the front door trim panel. 4. Remove outside rear view mirror control (17B676).

SUBJECT: MODELS: Loss of Power Steering Assist – Replace Electric Power Steering Motor 2005-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt 2005 Pontiac Pursuit 2005-2006 Pontiac G4 2006 Pontiac G5 Pursuit 2007-2010 Pontiac G5 Equipped with Electric Power Steering 2005-2010 model year Chevrolet Cobalt vehicles; 2005 model year Pontiac Pursuit; 2005-2006 model year Pontiac G4; 2006 model year Pontiac G5 Pursuit; and 2007-2010 model year Pontiac G5 vehicles equipped with electric power steering. Some of these vehicles have a condition in which a sudden loss of power steering assist could occur at any time while driving the vehicle. If the power steering assist is lost, a chime will sound and a “Power Steering” message will be displayed in the Driver Information Center to inform the driver of the condition. Steering control will be maintained, as the vehicle defaults to a manual steering mode. If power steering assist is lost, it may require greater driver effort at low vehicle speeds, for example, below 15 mph (25 km/h). Unless a driver compensates for this additional effort, it may increase the risk of a crash. Typically, the next time the vehicle is started, the power steering assist will return and the “Power Steering” message will no longer be displayed. EPS Motor Replacement Procedure Note: The use of Loctite is no longer required. Loctite should not be used for any further applications. 1. Connect the Tech 2® to the vehicle and check for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). 2. Record any present DTCs on the repair order and during claim submission. 3. Clear any DTCs that are present. 4. Remove the power steering assist motor. Refer to Power Steering Assist Motor Replacement in SI. Note: For 2005 model year vehicles only: Do NOT install the o-ring between the motor assembly and the steering column assembly. The new service motor kit will include an o- ring, but DO NOT install the o-ring for 2005 model year vehicles only. 5. Install the new power steering assist motor. Refer to Power Steering Assist Motor Replacement in SI. 6. Perform Test Drive.

1) Open engine hood. 2) Disconnect ground cable from the battery. 3) Drain engine coolant completely. 4) Disconnect radiator outlet hose from engine coolant pump. 5) Remove radiator fan motor assembly. 6) Remove V-belt(s). 7) Remove timing belt.
Remove belt tension adjuster. 9) Remove camshaft position sensor. 10) Remove left side camshaft pulley by using ST. ST 499207100 CAMSHAFT SPROCKET WRENCH 11) Remove left side rear timing belt cover. 12) Remove tensioner bracket. 13) Disconnect heater hose from engine coolant pump. 14) Remove engine coolant pump. B: INSPECTION 1) Check engine coolant pump bearing for smooth rotation. 2) Check engine coolant pump pulley for abnormalities. 3) Using a dial gauge, measure impeller runout in thrust direction while rotating the pulley. “Thrust” runout limit: 0.5 mm (0.020 inch) 4) Check clearance between impeller and pump case. Clearance between impeller and pump case: Standard: 0.5 – 0.7 mm (0.020 – 0.028 inch)

For those Honda Odyssey owners tired of replacing rear window motors at approximately %200 to %300 each here is a simple fix. A design flaw creates the failure. A PTC Thermistor was used to limit motor drive current when the motor reached end limits. For you Rnon Engineer types that is a Positive Temperature Coefficient Thermistor, (thermal resistor). This device presents a low cold resistance of approximately 10 to 15 Ohms in series with the motor to limit motor current. As temperature increases resistance increases to over 150 Ohms when hot. The motor assembly was engineered this way to limit current to a stalled motor when the window is fully open or closed. This prevents a motor burn out or fire. The problem is thermistors are notoriously unstable over time with repeated temperature cycling. The failure mode of these devices is to increase resistance, decrease current flow and render the motor inoperable. The fix is actually very simple. One of the nice characteristics of a light bulb is that it too has a PTC. Unlike the thermistor, a light bulb resistance curve is very stable over time with repeated temperature cycling. The trick is to choose a light bulb with sufficient wattage and voltage rating that will pass the required current for normal operation but limit over current to prevent a motor burnout or fire. Here is the procedure I used to modify both of my window actuators on my 2002 Odyssey.
