FOREWORD
E. Drying wiring harness
If there is any oil or dirt on the wiring harness, wipe it off with
a dry cloth. Avoid washing it in water or using steam. If the
connector must be washed in water, do not use high-pressure
water or steam directly on the wiring harness. If water gets
directly on the connector, do the following steps.
i.
Disconnect the connector and wipe off the water with a
dry cloth.
★ If the connector is blown dry with compressed air,
there is the risk that oil in the air may cause defective
contact. Remove all oil and water from the com-
pressed air before blowing with air.
ii. Dry the inside of the connector with a dryer.
If water gets inside the connector, use a dryer to dry the
connector.
★ Hot air from the dryer can be used, but regulate the
time that the hot air is used in order that the
connector or related parts do not get too hot; extreme
heat will deform or damage the connector.
iii. Carry out a continuity test on the connector.
After drying, leave the wiring harness disconnected and
carry out a continuity test to check for any short circuits
between pins caused by water.
★ After completely drying the connector, blow it with
contact restorer and reassemble.
