Windows: Service Precautions

CAUTION:
^ Disconnect the battery before removing and installing the GEM or its connectors. Failure to do so will result in the GEM storing many erroneous Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and exhibiting erratic operation after installation.
^ Be careful when probing the junction box fuse/relay panel, power distribution box or any connectors. Damage will result to the connector receptacle if the probe or terminal being used is too large.
^ Electronic modules are sensitive to static electrical charges. If exposed to these charges, damage can result.
