    Important! Do not bend the latch too far to the right. Bending the latch can damage the latch.
    Important! When you remove an ESM, be sure to replace it immediately with another ESM or a filler panel. Otherwise, the Controller might overheat because of improper airflow.
  2. Grasp the latch and pull the ESM out of the Controller drive compartment.
