GENERAL INFORMATION
Disciplines
Switch off the ignition prior to making any connection
or disconnection in the system. An electrical surge can
be caused by disconnecting 'live' connections which
can damage electronic components.
Ensure hands and work surfaces are clean and free of
grease, swarf, etc. as grease collects dirt which can
cause tracking or high-resistance contacts.
Prior to commencing any test, and periodically during
any test, touch a good earth to discharge body static.
This is because some electronic components are
vulnerable to static electricity.
Electrical wires
All the electrical wires are either single-colour or
two-colour and, with only a few exceptions, must be
connected to wires of the same colour. On any of the
two-colour wires there is a greater amount of one
colour and a lesser amount of a second colour. A
two-colour wire is identified by first the primary colour
and then the secondary colour. For example, a yellow
wire with thin red stripes is referred to as a 'yellow/red'
wire; it would be a 'red/yellow' wire if the colours were
reversed to make red the main colour.
Inspection
Disassembled parts should be visually inspected and
replaced with new ones if there are any signs of the
following:
Abrasions, cracks, hardening, warping, bending,
dents, scratches, colour changes, deterioration,
seizure or damage of any nature.
