HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

1.ABOUT CONNECTORS

1. When vehicle placed on speed meter tester, or jacked up to rotate the tires, there is a case that ECU memorize failure code. But, this is not abnormal. Clear the failure code on ECU in any case of having done that type of maintenance service.
   
2. Before performing an inspection work, check that each connector is surely connected.
   
   
3. When taking off connector, do it without fail at the "LOCK" position of starter key.
4. Any parts presumed to be abnormal should not be repaired, but change it.
5. After clearing the failure memories recorded in the past, perform failure diagnosis again and check the current failure.
6. After completing the diagnosis analysis, clear the diagnosis memories in the past.
7. Unless otherwise specified, the drawing of connector is one viewed from connected surface. But, test bar should be inserted from back side for measuring.
   However, check the terminals at the connected part of such water proof connectors as ABS actuator, etc. In this case, be careful not to short the terminals.
8. The connector is displayed from the view of the mating surface when the connector lock is positioned above.
   Reference
   • Female connector: The terminal is female.
   • Male connector: The terminal is male.
   
   
9. As for the terminal numbers of the connector, the first terminal is located on the top right terminal of the male connector and the top left terminal of the female connector.
   Reference:
   When viewed from the mating surface, the terminal numbers of both connectors are located symmetrically (reversed horizontally).
   
   
10. When disconnecting the connectors, be sure to position the starter switch "LOCK".
    

2.ABOUT DIAGNOSIS MONITOR

1. Erase the previous damage data after they have been recorded, then perform the damage diagnosis again and confirm the current damage.
2. After the damage analysis is completed, delete the previous damage data.
