^ 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:
- Jumpering or grounding of the components or connectors.
