Wiper and Washer Systems: Service Precautions

General Description

CAUTION
- Connect the connectors and hoses securely during reassembly.
- After reassembly, make sure all features operate properly.
- Be careful with the airbag system wiring harness which passes near electrical parts and switches.
- Airbag system connectors are yellow. Do not use a tester equipment on these circuits.
- Care must be taken when connecting the pipe hose so that there are no bends or blockage.
- If even a small amount of silicon oil or grease enters the tank and washer fluid passages, an oil film will be formed on the glass and will cause the wiper to chatter and judder. Make sure that no oil comes into contact with the system.
