Precautions
+Before connecting or disconnecting the ECM harness
connector, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect nega-
tive battery terminal. Failure to do so may damage the ECM
because battery voltage is applied to ECM even if ignition
switch is turned off.
+When connecting ECM harness connector, tighten secur-
ing bolt until the gap between orange indicators disap-
pears.
: 3.0 - 5.0 Nzm (0.3 - 0.5 kg-m, 26 - 43 in-lb)
+When connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into or
from ECM, take care not to damage pin terminals (bend or
break).
Make sure that there are not any bends or breaks on ECM
pin terminal, when connecting pin connectors.
+Before replacing ECM, perform Terminals and Reference
Value inspection and make sure ECM functions properly.
Refer to EC-54.
+If MIL illuminates or blinks irregularly when engine is
running, water may have accumulated in fuel ®lter. Drain
water from fuel ®lter. If this does not correct the problem,
perform speci®ed trouble diagnostic procedures.
+After performing each TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS, perform
``OVERALL FUNCTION CHECK'' or ``DTC (Diagnostic
Trouble Code) CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE''.
The DTC should not be displayed in the ``DTC CONFIRMA-
TION PROCEDUREº if the repair is completed. The ``OVER-
ALL FUNCTION CHECK'' should be a good result if the
repair is completed.

Fuse
a. If fuse is blown, be sure to eliminate cause of problem
before installing new fuse.
b. Use fuse of speci®ed rating. Never use fuse of more than
speci®ed rating.
c. Do not partially install fuse; always insert it into fuse
holder properly.
d. Remove fuse for ``ELECTRICAL PARTS (BAT)'' if vehicle is
not used for a long period of time.
Fusible Link
A melted fusible link can be detected either by visual inspection or
by feeling with ®nger tip. If its condition is questionable, use circuit
tester or test lamp.
CAUTION:
+If fusible link should melt, it is possible that critical circuit
(power supply or large current carrying circuit) is shorted.
In such a case, carefully check and eliminate cause of
problem.
+Never wrap outside of fusible link with vinyl tape. Impor-
tant: Never let fusible link touch any other wiring harness,
vinyl or rubber parts.
Circuit Breaker Inspection
For example, when current is 30A, the circuit is broken within 8 to
20 seconds.

Filament Repair
REPAIR EQUIPMENT
1. Conductive silver composition (Dupont No. 4817 or equivalent)
2. Ruler 30 cm (11.8 in) long
3. Drawing pen
4. Heat gun
5. Alcohol
6. Cloth
REPAIRING PROCEDURE
1. Wipe broken heat wire and its surrounding area clean with a
cloth dampened in alcohol.
2. Apply a small amount of conductive silver composition to tip of
drawing pen.
Shake silver composition container before use.
3. Place ruler on glass along broken line. Deposit conductive sil-
ver composition on break with drawing pen. Slightly overlap
existing heat wire on both sides [preferably 5 mm (0.20 in)] of
the break.
4. After repair has been completed, check repaired wire for con-
tinuity. This check should be conducted 10 minutes after silver
composition is deposited.
Do not touch repaired area while test is being conducted.
5. Apply a constant stream of hot air directly to the repaired area
for approximately 20 minutes with a heat gun. A minimum dis-
tance of 3 cm (1.2 in) should be kept between repaired area
and hot air outlet. If a heat gun is not available, let the repaired
area dry for 24 hours.
