Care must be taken when jacking up and supporting the
vehicle. Be sure to lift and support the vehicle at the prop-
er locations (see page
f
Release the parking brake on a level surface and
shift to in Neutral or N range.
f
When jacking up the front wheels of the vehicle, at
first place chocks behind the rear wheels.
f
When jacking up the rear wheels of the vehicle,
place chocks in front of the front wheels.
f
When jacking up only the front or rear wheels, set
rigid racks and place chocks on front and behind the
wheels in contact with the ground.
f
After the vehicle is jacked up, be sure to support it
on rigid racks. It is extremely dangerous to do any
work on a vehicle raised on a jack alone, even for
a small job that can be finished quickly.
Observe the following precautions to avoid damage to the
following parts:
(1) Do not open the cover or case of the ECU unless
absolutely necessary. (Static electricity transmitted
through human touch may destroy the IC.)
(2) To disconnect vacuum hoses, pull off the end of the
hose, not the middle.
(3) To pull apart electrical connectors, pull on the con-
nector itself, not the wires.
(4) Be careful not to drop electrical components, such
as sensors or relays. If they are dropped on a hard
floor, they should be replaced and not reused.
(5) When steam cleaning an engine, protect the elec-
tronic components, air filter and emission-related
components from water.
(6) Never use an impact wrench to remove or install
temperature switches or temperature sensors.
(7) When checking continuity at the wire connector, in-
sert the tester probe carefully to prevent terminals
from bending.
(8) When using a vacuum gauge, never force the hose
onto a connector that is too large. Use a step-down
adapter for adjustment. Once the hose has been
stretched, it may leak air.
