Precautions on Operating Vehicle’s ECU
Do not disconnect battery or any wiring cables in the vehicle when the ignition switch is
on, as this could avoid damage to the sensors or the ECU.
Do not place any magnetic objects near the ECU. Disconnect the power supply to the
ECU before performing any welding operations on the vehicle.
Use extreme caution when performing any operations near the ECU or sensors.
Ground yourself when you disassemble PROM, otherwise ECU and sensors can be
damaged by static electricity.
When reconnecting the ECU harness connector, be sure it is attached firmly,
otherwise electronic elements, such as ICs inside the ECU, can be damaged.
