Troubleshooting

Tips and Precautions (cont'd)

Insert the connector all the way, and make sure it is

securely locked.

Position wires so that the open end of the cover

faces down.

Handling Wires and Harnesses

Secure wires and wire harnesses to the frame with

their respective wire ties at the designated locations.

Remove clips carefully; don't damage their locks.

Slip pliers under the clip base and through the hole at an

angle, then squeeze the expansion tabs to release the

clip.

After installing harness clips, make sure the harness

doesn't interfere with any moving parts.

Keep wire harnesses away from exhaust pipes and

other hot parts, from sharp edges of brackets and

holes, and from exposed screws and bolts.
Seat grommets in their grooves properly.

Testing and Repairs

Do not use wires or harnesses with broken insulation.

Replace them or repair them by wrapping the break

with electrical tape.

After installing parts, make sure that no wires are

pinched under them.

When using electrical test equipment, follow the

manufacturer's instructions and those described in

this manual.

If possible, insert the probe of the tester from the wire

side (except waterproof connector).

Use a probe with a tapered tip.

Refer to the instructions in the Honda Terminal Kit for

identification and replacement of connector terminals.
