(b) When installing the battery, be especially careful not to in-
correctly connect the positive (+) and negative (-) cables.
(c) Do not permit parts to receive a severe impact during re-
moval or installation. Handle all MFI parts carefully, espe-
cially the ECM.
(d) Do not be careless during troubleshooting as there are
numerous transistor circuits and contact with terminals
can cause further trouble.
(e) Do not open the ECM cover.
(f) When inspecting during rainy weather, take care to pre-
vent the entry of water. Also, when washing the engine
compartment, prevent water from getting on the MFI parts
and wiring connectors.
(g) Parts should be replaced as an assembly.
(h) Care is required when pulling out and inserting wiring con-
nectors.
(i) Release the lock and pull out the connector, pulling on the
connectors.
(j) Fully insert the connector and check that it is locked.
(k) When inspecting a connector with a volt/ohmmeter.
(l) Carefully take off the water-proofing rubber if it is a wa-
ter-proof type connector.
(m) Insert the tester probe into the connector from the wiring
side when checking the continuity, amperage or voltage.
(n) Do not apply unnecessary force to the terminal.
(o) After checking, install the water-proofing rubber securely
on the connector.
(p) Use SST for inspecting or testing the injector or its wiring
connector.
