Safety Precautions For Repairing Wiring Harness and Connectors
CAUTION!
- Determine the correct coding for the anti-theft radio.
- Disconnect battery Ground (GND) strap before working on the electrical system.
- Before starting a repair, it is important to identify the cause of the malfunction (e.g. sharp edges on body panels, defective electrical components, corrosion, etc.).
- Repairs must NOT be performed on wiring for the airbag system or on shielded wiring (such as wiring for speed sensors or knock sensors).
- Additional information (e.g for removing and installing the components) is listed in the relevant part of the repair manual).
- Only use yellow wires for repairs to wiring harnesses.
- A yellow wire or a section of wiring wrapped with yellow insulating tape will always indicate the location where wiring was repaired.
- After every repair, check the function of the components or system affected. If necessary, check DTC memory and reset systems to basic settings.
