Air Cleaner Element

Dry-type engine air cleaners (ACL) (9600) are standard on all vehicles.

Air enters the engine air cleaner and travels through a chemically treated and pleated paper air cleaner element (ACL element) (9601) before entering the engine induction system. The air cleaner element should be inspected, cleaned, or replaced periodically according to the schedule in Section 00-03. The air cleaner system has an intake air temperature sensor (IAT sensor) (12A697) mounted in the engine air cleaner to monitor inlet air temperature (on some models).

On diesel engines, replace air cleaner element according to air restriction gauge.
