always followed.
• Ensure that all wiring connectors are fitted correctly.
• The engine management system wiring connectors are designed to fit only one way; there are indexing tabs and
slots on both halves of the connector. Forcing the connector into place is not necessary if it is being installed with
the correct orientation. Failure to take care to match the indexing tabs and slots correctly can cause damage to the
connector, the module, or other vehicle components or systems.
• Never touch the connector pins of any electronic component, such as an ECM, as electrostatic discharge (ESD)
damage may result.
• W hen steam or pressure cleaning engines, do not direct the cleaning nozzle at engine management system
components.
• Never subject the ECM to temperatures less than -40 ° C and greater than 125 ° C.
• Prior to disconnection or removal of any components associated with the fuel system, clean the area around any
connection points to avoid possible contamination of the fuel system.
• A depressurised fuel system contains fuel in the fuel system and fuel lines that can be spilled during service
operations. To reduce the chance of personal injury, cover the fittings with a shop towel to absorb any fuel spillage
prior to performing the service operation. Once the service operation has been completed, place the towel in an
approved container for disposal.
• To avoid accidental fuel discharge, it is advisable to disconnect the battery and remove the fuel pump relay if the
fuel line between the fuel pump and the fuel rail is to be disconnected / open for an indefinite period.
• Always tighten fasteners to the correct tightening torque, and where indicated in the service procedure, follow the
correct tightening sequence, precautions and recommendations to prevent premature failure of the fastener or
component.
• After removing components, such as the upper or lower intake manifold, front engine pipe, heated oxygen sensor,
etc. always plug any openings to prevent dirt and other contaminants from entering.
• Do not use silicone based assembly lubricants as damage to the heated oxygen sensors may result.
Use of incorrect electrical test equipment
when performing engine management service
procedures could result in incorrect results or
component damage.
• Use only the test equipment specified in the diagnostic tables. Use of other test equipment may either give
incorrect results or damage serviceable components, refer to, 6C1-2 Engine Management – V6 – Diagnostics.
• After completing the required service operations, road test the vehicle to ensure correct engine management
