Gylinder Head Removal
NOTE:. Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted
surfaces.
To avoid damage, unplug the wiring connectors
carefully whlle holding the connector portion.
To avoid damaging the cylinder head, wait until the
engine coolant temperature drops below 100'F (38"C)
betore loosening the cylinder head bolts.
Mark all wiring and hoses to avoid misconnection.
Also, be sure that they do not contact other wiring or
hoses, or interfere with other parts.

Wiring Precautions
Some of the SRS wiring can be identified by a special
yellow outer covering, and the SRS connectors can be
identified by their yellow color.
Observe the instructions described in this section.
. Never attempt to modify. splice, or repair SRS wiring.
lf there is an open or damage in SRS wiring, replace
the harness.
Be sure to install the harness wires so they do not get
Dinched or interfere with other Darts.
Make sure all SRS ground locations are clean, and
grounds are securely fastened for optimum metal-to-
metal contact. Poor grounding can cause intermittent
problems that are difficult to diagnose.
Precautions for Electrical Inspections
. When using electricaltest equipment, insertthe
probe of the tester into the wire side of the connector.
Do not insert the probe of the tester into the terminal
side of the connector, and do not tamper with the
connector.
Use a U-shaped probe. Do not insert the probe
forcibly.
Use specified service connectors in tro u bleshooting.
Using improper tools cou ld cause an error in
inspection due to poor metal-to-metal contact.
