15-2 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CAUTIONS IN SERVICING
CONNECTOR
• When connecting a connector, be sure to push it in until a
click is felt.
• Inspect the connector for corrosion, contamination and break-
age in its cover.
• Avoid applying grease or other similar material to connector
terminals to prevent electric trouble.
COUPLER
• With a lock type coupler, be sure to release the lock when dis-
connecting, and push in fully to engage the lock when con-
necting.
• When disconnecting the coupler, be sure to hold the coupler
itself and do not pull the lead wires.
• Inspect each terminal on the coupler for being loose or bent.
• Push in the coupler straightly. An angled or skewed insertion
may cause the terminal to be deformed, possibly resulting in
poor electrical contact.
• Inspect each terminal for corrosion and contamination.
• Before refitting the sealed coupler, make sure its seal rubber
is positioned properly. The seal rubber may possibly come off
the position during disconnecting work and if the coupler is
refitted with the seal rubber improperly positioned, it may
result in poor water sealing.
• Avoid applying grease or other similar material to coupler ter-
minals to prevent electric trouble.
CLAMP
• Clamp the wire harness at such positions as indicated in
“WIRING HARNESS ROUTING”. (
20-18 to -20)
• Bend the clamp properly so that the wire harness is clamped
securely.
• In clamping the wire harness, use care not to allow it to hang
down.
• Do not use wire or any other substitute for the band type
clamp.
SWITCH
• Never apply grease material to switch contact points to pre-
vent damage.
