PRECAUTIONS FOR ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT
SERVICE
D When disconnecting and connecting coupler, make sure to
turn ignition switch to OFF position, or electronic parts may
get damaged.
D Be careful not to touch the electrical terminals of parts which
use microcomputers (e.g. electronic control unit like as
ECM, PCM, P/S controller, etc.). The static electricity from
your body can damage these parts.
D Never connect any tester (voltmeter, ohmmeter, or whatever)
to electronic control unit when its coupler is disconnected.
Attempt to do it may cause damage to it.
D Never connect an ohmmeter to electronic control unit with
its coupler connected to it. Attempt to do it may cause dam-
age to electronic control unit and sensors.
D Be sure to use a specified voltmeter/ohmmeter. Otherwise,
accurate measurements may not be obtained or personal in-
jury may result.
D When taking measurements at electrical connectors using a
tester probe, be sure to insert the probe from the wire har-
ness side (backside) of the connector.
1. Coupler

care not to bend male terminal of coupler of force its female
terminal open for connection.
In case of such coupler as shown connect probe as shown
to avoid opening female terminal.
