Procedure Before i-ELOOP-Related Part Servicing

Warning
•  If the terminal of one of the i-ELOOP-related parts contacts the vehicle body with the service plug of the capacitor connected, it could cause a fire and damage to electrical parts. In addition, if the terminal contacts your body, it could cause electrocution. Disconnect the service plug of the capacitor before disconnecting the i-ELOOP-related part terminal. (See SERVICE PLUG DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [i-ELOOP].)
―  For the i-ELOOP-related part terminals, refer to the “PROCEDURE BEFORE i-ELOOP-RELATED PART SERVICING”. (See PROCEDURE BEFORE i-ELOOP-RELATED PART SERVICING [i-ELOOP].)

Cautions On Handling Capacitor (i-ELOOP)

Caution
•  If the capacitor (i-ELOOP) is placed on its side, its function may be lost. When storing/transporting the capacitor, do not place it on its side. (Store/transport in upright position)
•  Do not use a capacitor (i-ELOOP) that has been dropped because it may not operate correctly.
•  When disposing of the capacitor (i-ELOOP), perform compulsory discharge of the capacitor before disposal. (See CAPACITOR (i-ELOOP) COMPULSORY DISCHARGE [i-ELOOP].)

Capacitor (i-ELOOP) Removal/Installation

1.  Turn the steering wheel completely to the right.
