Lighting and Horns: Service Precautions

Precautions
1. When checking voltage, resistance, etc., use a high impedance type tester (It is impossible with a simple tester).
2. When the ignition switch is turned to START, all meters will go out but this is normal.
3. When replacing the internal mechanism (computer parts) of the meter, be careful that no part of your body or clothing comes in contact with the terminals of the leads from the IC, etc. of the replacement parts (spare parts).
4. Do not disconnect the battery while the engine is running as this would cause an instant reverse charge, resulting in damage to the components.
5. Always disconnect the battery terminals before pulling apart connector or terminals.
6. To prevent damage, handle meters with care.
