Warnings and Notices

Excessive Adhesive on Flywheel Bolts Notice
Notice: Apply the proper amount of the sealant to the fastener
when assembling this component. Excessive use of the sealant
can prohibit the component from being assembled properly or
allow the fastener to loosen. A component or fastener that is
not assembled properly can loosen or fall off leading to
extensive engine damage.
Excessive Force and Oxygen Sensor Notice
Notice: The oxygen sensor may be difficult to remove when the
engine temperature is above 48°C (120°F). Excessive force
may damage threads in the exhaust manifold or the exhaust
pipe.
Exhaust System Inspection Notice
Notice: When inspecting or replacing exhaust system
components, make sure there is adequate clearance from all
points on the under-body to prevent overheating of the floor
pan and possible damage to the passenger compartment
insulation and trim materials.
Torque Reaction Against Timing Drive Chain
Notice
Notice: A wrench must be used on the hex of the camshaft
when loosening or tightening in order to prevent component
damage. Failure to prevent the torque reaction against the
timing drive chain can lead to timing drive chain failure.
Exterior Trim Emblem Removal Notice
Notice: Use a plastic, flat-bladed tool to prevent paint damage
when removing an emblem/name plate.
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 gage may result.
Handling Electrostatic Discharge Sensitive
Parts Notice
Notice: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage many solid-
state electrical components. ESD susceptible components
may or may not be labeled with the ESD symbol. Handle all
electrical components carefully. Use the following precautions
in order to avoid ESD damage:
– Touch a metal ground point in order to remove your body's
static charge before servicing any electronic component;
especially after sliding across the vehicle seat.
– Do not touch exposed terminals. Terminals may connect to
circuits susceptible the ESD damage.
– Do not allow tools to contact exposed terminals when
servicing connectors.
–
Do not remove components from their protective packaging
until required to do so.
– Avoid the following actions unless required by the
diagnostic procedure:
– Jumping or grounding of the components or connectors.
– Connecting test equipment probes to components or
connectors. Connect the ground lead first when using
test probes.
Ground the protective packaging of any component before
opening. Do not rest solid-state components on metal
workbenches, or on top of TVs, radios, or other electrical
devices.
Heated Oxygen and Oxygen Sensor Notice
Notice: Do not remove the pigtail from either the heated oxygen
sensor (HO2S) or the oxygen sensor (O2S). Removing the
pigtail or the connector will affect sensor operation.
Notice: Handle the oxygen sensor carefully. Do not drop the
HO2S. Keep the in-line electrical connector and the louvered
end free of grease, dirt, or other contaminants. Do not use
cleaning solvents of any type.
Notice: Do not repair the wiring, connector or terminals.
Replace the oxygen sensor if the pigtail wiring, connector, or
terminal is damaged.
