PRECAUTIONS
When reconnecting the wire harness or components,
make sure that connectors and terminals are fully
engaged. Electrical malfunction may occur otherwise.
Test wiring connections by ‘wiggling’ the wires in the
connector (inset). Repair or replace wiring as
necessary.
Dirty, corroded, loose, or damaged terminals/wiring
insulation creates poor connectivity, short circuits,
and other malfunctions. Clean or repair terminals/
wiring as necessary.
Static electricity will damage the vehicle ECU (Engine
Control Unit) and other sensitive components. Avoid
touching the terminals and connectors of sensitive
electrical components.
When testing sensitive components and electrical
circuits with an ohmmeter or voltmeter, make sure
that the probes will not damage the electrical system.
Do not expose the ECU or other sensitive electrical
components to water, heat or shock of any type.
Damage to the component will occur if exposed to
any of these conditions.
When disengaging electrical connectors, never pull
on the wire. Always pull the connector apart by
disengaging the locking tab and pulling on the
connector body. Damage to the wiring or connector
will occur otherwise.
