Preface
Belt Dressing Notice
Notice: Do not use belt dressing on the drive belt.
Belt dressing causes the breakdown of the composition
of the drive belt. Failure to follow this recommendation
will damage the drive belt.
Component Fastener Tightening Notice
Notice: Replacement components must be the correct
part number for the application. Components
requiring the use of the thread locking compound,
lubricants, corrosion inhibitors, or sealants are
identified in the service procedure. Some replacement
components may come with these coatings already
applied. Do not use these coatings on components
unless specified. These coatings can affect the
final torque, which may affect the operation of the
component. Use the correct torque specification when
installing components in order to avoid damage.
Defective Scan Tool Notice
Notice: Do not use a scan tool that displays faulty
data. Report the scan tool problem to the
manufacturer. Use of a faulty scan tool can result in
misdiagnosis and unnecessary parts replacement.
Engine Emission Notice
Notice: Modifications made to the engine or its
individual components can effect the vehicle's
emission controls and may cause the Malfunction
Indicator Lamp (MIL), Check Engine, or Service Engine
Soon lamp to illuminate. Modifications may also
cause the vehicl.e to fail a required Emission
Inspection/Maintenance test.
Fastener Notice
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct
location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct
part number for that application. Fasteners requiring
replacement or fasteners requiring the use of
'
thread locking compound or sealant are identified in
the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or
corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint
surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect
fastener torque and joint clamping force and may
damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening
sequence and specifications when installing fasteners
in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

Fuel Pressure Notice
Notice: Do not allow the fuel pressure to exceed the
specified value because damage to the fuel pressure
regulator or the fuel pressure gauge may result.
Fuel Tank: Strap Fastener Notice
Notice: Tighten the strap fasteners by steps,
alternating between the fasteners, until the specified
torque is reached. A failure to tighten th.e strap
fasteners as specified will cause the bottom of the
tank to flex upward. This will result in the fuel gauge
indicating that there is fuel remaining in the tank when
the tank runs dry.
Cautions and Notices - 7
Handling ESD Sensitive Parts Notice
Notice: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can da,,age
many solid-state electri.cal components. ESD
susceptible components may or may not be l~beled
with the ESD symbol. Handle all electrical cornponents
carefully. Use the following precautions in ord
6
r to
avoid ESD damage:
" Touch a metal ground point in order to renove
your body's static charge before servicingany
electronic component; especially after slidhg
across the vehicle seat.
• Do not touch
1
exposed terminals. Terminah
may
connect to circuits susceptible the ESD danage.
O
Do not allow tools to contact exposed
terminals when servicing connectors.
• Do not remove components from their proective
packaging until required to do so.
• Avoid the following actions unless requirecby the
diagnostic procedure:
- Jumpering or grounding of the compcients
or connectors.
- Connecting test equipment probes to
components or connectors. Connect
the ground lead first when using test robes.
• Ground the protective packaging of any
component before opening. Do not rest soli-state
components on metal workbenches, or on Ip
of TVs, radios, or other electrical devices.
Handling IAC Valve Notice
Notice: If the IAC valve has been in service: D(f\lOT
push or pull on the IAC valve pintle. The force
required to move the pintle may damage the thnds
on the worm drive. Also, DO NOT soak the IAC
valve in any liquid cleaner or solvent, as damag1naY
result.
Heated Oxygen and Oxygen Sensor
Notice
Notice: Do not remove this pigtail from either the
heated oxygen sensor (H02S) or the oxygen
sensor (028). Removing the pigtail or the conne~
will affect sensor operation.
Handle the oxygen sensor carefully. Do not drop
l
H02S. Keep the in-line electrical conne9tor and
the louvered end free of grease, dirt, or other
contaminants. Do not use cleaning solvents of
any type.
Do not repair the wiring, connector or terminals.
Replace the oxygen sensor if the pigtail wiring,
connector, or terminal is damaged.
This external clean air reference is obtained by w,1
the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any
attempt to repair the wires, connectors, or termina
could result in the obstruction of the air reference
I
degraded sensor performance.
