SERIVICING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
1. Prior to servicing the electrical system, be sure to
turn off the ignition switch and disconnect the battery
ground cable.
NOTE
In the course of MFI or ELC system diagnosis, when
the battery cable is removed, any diagnostic trouble
code retained by the computer will be cleared. There-
fore, if necessary, read the diagnostic before remov-
ing the battery cable.
2. Attach the wiring harnesses with clamps so that there
is no slack. However, for any harness which passes
the engine or other vibrating parts of the vehicle, al-
low some slack within a range that does not allow the
engine vibrations to cause the harness to come into
contact with any of the surrounding parts and then se-
cure the harness by using a clamp.
3. If any section of a wiring harness interferes with the
edge of a parts, or a corner, wrap the section of the
harness with tape or something similar in order to pro-
tect if from damage.
