Handling Precautions
CAUTION:
When handling Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) sensitive electronic parts (control modules), take special care to avoid damaging components.
- Discharge personal static electricity by momentarily touching metal grounding point on vehicle before touching electronic components.
- DO NOT touch terminals on components or connectors with fingers or metal tools. When unplugging connectors, DO NOT let metal tool contact any exposed terminal.
- Never jumper, ground, or use test probes on components or connectors unless specified in diagnosis. Always connect ground lead first.
- DO NOT remove solid-state components from protective packaging until ready for installation. Touch packaging to ground before opening.
- DO NOT bump or drop components. DO NOT put component on metal work bench, metal objects, or electrically operated components (such as radio, TV, or oscilloscope).
