Measures For Preventing Damage To Components When Performing Electric Welding And Soldering Work - AH60.00-P-0001-02A

MODEL ALL 

Before and during the welding or soldering work always observe the following measures, to avoid any damage to the vehicle components:

1. Disconnect ignition key and disconnect/insulate ground line from battery.
2. When performing electrical welding or soldering work in the area of the airbag control unit (distance < 0.5 m), detach electrical connector from airbag control unit.
3. The high-voltage battery, the gas tank and the gas-routing components should not exceed a temperature of > 60 °C.
4. Before welding and soldering, cover all components to protect against flying sparks and radiant heat or remove from hazardous area (including lines and components in hollow cavities).
5. Do not touch electronics housings or electrical lines with welding electrode or ground line from the welder or solder.
6. Directly connect ground terminal from electrical welding and soldering unit to component to be welded or soldered. Ensure that there are no electrically insulating parts between the ground terminal and the welding or soldering point.
7. Do not connect ground terminal from electrical welding or soldering unit to major assemblies (e.g. transmission, engine, etc.).
