1. Before temporarily installing the new parts, apply
body sealer to the wheel arch.
HINT:
1) Apply body sealer about 5 mm (0.20in.) from the
flange, avoiding any oozing.
2) Apply sealer evenly, about 3 - 4 mm (0. 12 -
0.16in.) in diameter.
3) For other sealing points, refer to section AR.

4. ECU (ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT)
Locations of ECUs
Many ECUs are mounted in this vehicle.
Take the following precautions during body repair to prevent damage to the ECUs.
Before starting electric welding operations, disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery.
When the negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, memory of the clock and audio
systems will be cancelled. So before starting work, make a record of the contents memorized by each
memory system. Then when work is finished, reset the clock and audio systems as before.
When the vehicle has tilt and telescopic steering, power seat and outside rear view mirror, which are all
equipped with memory function, it is not possible to make a record of the memory contents.
So when the operation is finished, it will be necessary to explain this fact to the customer, and request
the customer to adjust the features and reset the memory.
Do not expose the ECUs to ambient temperatures above 80°C (176°F).
NOTICE: If it is possible the ambient temperature may reach 80 °C (176 °F) or more, remove the ECUs
from the vehicle before starting work.
Be careful not to drop the ECUs and not to apply physical shocks to them.
4. COMPONENTS ADJACENT TO THE BODY PANELS
Various types of component parts are mounted directly on or adjacently to the body panels.
Strictly observe the following precautions to prevent damaging these components and the body panels
during handling.
Before repairing the body panels, remove their components or apply protective covers over the comœ
ponents.
Before prying components off using screwdriver or a scraper, etc., attach protective tape to the tool
tip or blade to prevent damaging the components and the body paint.
Before removing components from the outer surface of the body, attach protective tape to the body to
ensure no damage to painted areas.
HINT: Apply touch-up paint to any damaged paint surfaces.
Before drilling or cutting sections, make sure that there are no wires, etc. on the reverse side.
