Control Module Service Precautions

NOTE: The VCM must be maintained at a temperature below 85°C (185°F) at all times. This is most critical when the vehicle is put through a paint baking process. The VCM becomes inoperative if its temperature 85°C (185°F). It is recommended that temporary insulation be placed around the VCM or removed from the vehicle during the time the vehicle is in a paint oven or other high temperature process. Do not operate the vehicle if the insulation is on the VCM.

IMPORTANT: Do not overload any circuit. The control module is designed to withstand the normal current draws, or amps, that are associated with the vehicle operations. Do not ground any of the control module circuits unless instructed to do so. Do not apply voltage to any of the control module circuits when testing for an open circuit or testing for a short circuit.
