Precautions to take when servicing an electrical system
l Note the following items when servicing the electrical system.
l Do not alter the wiring or electrical equipment in any way; this may damage the vehicle or cause a fire from
short-circuiting a circuit or overloading it. l
The negative (-) battery cable must be removed first and
installed last. l Do not replace with fuses exceeding specified capacity.

Zaution
B Clamp all harnesses near vibrating components
(for example, the engine) to remove slack and to
prevent contact resulting from vibration.
D Do not handle electrical components roughly or drop
them.
l Disconnect heat-
sensitive parts (for
example, relays and
ECU) when performing
maintenance (such as
welding) where
temperatures may exceed
80°C (176°F). l Make sure that the
connectors are securely
connected when
installed.

FindIng short circuits
Shorts occur between the power (positive) and ground (negative) sides of a circuit.
Therefore, finding a short circuit requires determining how the circuit is routed.
