Precautions
CAUTIONS IN SERVICINGWhen performing works related to electric Systems, observe following cautions for the purpose of protection of electrical parts and prevention of a fire from occurrence.
- When removing the battery from the vehicle or disconnecting the cable from the battery terminals for inspection or service works on the electric Systems, always confirm first that the ignition switch and all the other switches have been turned OFF. Otherwise, the semi-conductor part may be damaged.
- When disconnecting cables from the battery, be sure to disconnect the one from the negative (-) terminal first and then the other from the positive (+) terminal.
- Reverse the above order when connecting the cables to the battery terminals.
- When disconnecting connectors, never pull the wiring harnesses. Unlock the connector lock first and then pull them apart by holding connectors themselves.
- When connecting connectors, also hold connectors and put them together until they lock securely (a click is heard).
- When installing the wiring harness, fix it with clamps so that no slack is left.
- When installing vehicle parts, be careful so that the wiring harness is not interfered with or caught by any other part.
- To avoid damage to the harness, protect its part which may contact against a part forming a sharp angle by winding tape or the like around it.
- When replacing a fuse, make sure to use a fuse of the specified capacity. Use of a fuse with a larger capacity will cause a damage to the electrical parts and a fire.
- Always be careful not to handle electrical parts (computer, relay, etc.) in a rough manner or drop them.
- When performing a work that produces a heat exceeding 80 °C in the vicinity of the electrical parts, remove the heat sensitive electrical part(s) beforehand.
- Use care not to expose connectors and electrical parts to water which will be a cause of a trouble.
- When using a tester for checking continuity or measuring voltage, be sure to insert the tester probe from the wire harness side
