2. Handling of Battery
2.1 Handling of battery cable
• Before working on the electrical system, disconnect the (–) bat-
tery cable to prevent short circuits.
CAUTION
• Make sure that the starter switch and lighting switches are
OFF before disconnecting or connecting battery cable.
(Semiconductor components may otherwise be damaged.)
• Disconnect the (–) battery cable, then insulate the (–) termi-
nal of the battery and (–) battery cable with insulating tape
or the like.
• If the (–) battery cable is not disconnected, battery voltage
will remain constantly applied to the B terminal, inviting
danger of electric shock.
3. Handling of Sensors, Relays and Electronic Control Units
• Carefully handle sensors relays, and other items that are sensi-
tive to shock and heat. Do not remove or paint the cover of any
control unit.
• When separating connectors, grasp the connectors themselves
rather than the harnesses.
• To separate locking connectors, first push them in the direction
of the arrows. To reconnect locking connectors, push them to-
gether until they click.
• Before washing the vehicle, cover electrical parts to keep them
dry. (Use plastic sheets or equivalent.) Keep water away from
harness connectors and sensors and immediately wipe off any
water that gets on them.
