Repair and Diagnosis: Service Precautions
Safety Precautions For Repairing Wiring And Plug Connectors
CAUTION:
- Disconnect the battery Ground strap before working on the electrical system.
- Before starting a repair, it is important to identify the cause of damage (e.g. sharp edges on body panels, malfunctioning electrical components, corrosion, etc.).
- Repairs may not be performed on wiring associated with the airbag system or on shielded leads (such as wiring for speed senders or knock sensors).
- Additional information (e.g. for removing and installing the components) is listed in the relevant booklet of the Repair instructions).
- Only use yellow wires for repairs to wiring harnesses.
- A yellow wire or a section of wiring wrapped with yellow insulating tape always indicates a previous repair.
- Check the function of the components or system affected after every repair; if necessary, check DTC memory and reset systems to the basic setting.
