SFI SYSTEM
PRECAUTION
1. BEFORE WORKING ON THE FUEL SYSTEM, DISCON-
NECT THE NEGATIVE (−) TERMINAL CABLE FROM
THE BATTERY
HINT:
Any diagnostic trouble code retained by the computer will be
erased when the negative (−) terminal cable is removed.
Therefore, if necessary, read the diagnosis before removing the
terminal.
2. DO NOT SMOKE OR WORK NEAR AN OPEN FLAME
WHEN WORKING ON THE FUEL SYSTEM
3. KEEP GASOLINE AWAY FROM RUBBER OR LEATH-
ER PARTS
4. MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS
(a) In event of engine misfire, these precautions should be
taken.
(1) Check proper connection to battery terminals, etc.
(2) After repair work, check that the ignition coil termi-
nals and all other ignition system lines are recon-
nected securely.
(3) When cleaning the engine compartment, be espe-
cially careful to protect the electrical system from
water.
(b) Precautions when handling oxygen sensor.
(1) Do not allow oxygen sensor to drop or hit against an
object.
(2) Do not allow the sensor to come into contact with
water.
5. IF VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH MOBILE RADIO SYS-
TEM (HAM, CB, ETC.)
If the vehicle is equipped with a mobile communication system,
refer to the precaution in the IN section.
6. AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM
(a) Separation of the engine oil dipstick, oil filler cap, PCV
hose, etc. may cause the engine to run out of tune.
(b) Disconnection, looseness or cracks in the parts of the air
induction system between the throttle body and cylinder
head will allow air suction and cause the engine to run out
of tune.
7. ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
(a) Before removing SFI wiring connectors, terminals, etc.,
first disconnect the power by either turning the ignition
switch to LOCK or disconnecting the negative (−) terminal
cable from the battery.
HINT:
Always check the diagnostic trouble code before disconnecting
the negative (−) terminal cable from the battery.
