Body Control Module: Service Precautions

WARNING - RISK OF FIRE
In spite of the system voltage being only 12 V, the large battery capacity could cause burns or fire in the car. A short circuit could result in very high currents.


WARNING - HIGH VOLTAGE
The electronic ignition system generates voltages in excess of 48,000 volts.

This voltage can be fatal to people with a weak heart or to anyone with a pacemaker. Treat the ignition with great respect.

Before starting work on the electrical system:
- remove wrist-watch and rings.
- disconnect one battery terminal when electrical components are to be removed. Always follow the instructions in the appropriate Service Manuals.
