Electrical parts handling
ECA
NOTICE
Never disconnect a battery lead while the
engine is running; otherwise, the electrical
components could be damaged.
ECA
NOTICE
When disconnecting the battery leads from
the battery, be sure to disconnect the nega-
tive battery lead first, then the positive bat-
tery lead. If the positive battery lead is
disconnected first and a tool or similar item
contacts the vehicle, a spark could be gen-
erated, which is extremely dangerous.
TIP
If a battery lead is difficult to disconnect due to
rust on the battery terminal, remove the rust us-
ing hot water.
ECA
NOTICE
Be sure to connect the battery leads to the
correct battery terminals. Reversing the
battery lead connections could damage the
electrical components.
ECA
NOTICE
When connecting the battery leads to the
battery, be sure to connect the positive bat-
tery lead first, then the negative battery
lead. If the negative battery lead is connect-
ed first and a tool or similar item contacts
the vehicle while the positive battery lead is
being connected, a spark could be generat-
ed, which is extremely dangerous.
ECA
NOTICE
Make sure that the multi-function display
goes off after pushing and holding the en-
gine stop switch before disconnecting or
connecting any electrical components.

care, and do not subject them to strong
shocks.
ECA
NOTICE
Electrical components are very sensitive to
and can be damaged by static electricity.
Therefore, never touch the terminals and be
sure to keep the contacts clean.
TIP
Push and hold the engine stop switch to turn off
the multi-function display when resetting the
ECU (Electronic Control Unit). Disconnect the
starter motor lead of the starter relay, and then
push the starter switch. Be sure to wait for five
seconds or longer before pushing the start
switch after the multi-function display goes off.Checking the electrical system
TIP
Before checking the electrical system, make
sure that the battery voltage is at least 12 V.
ECA
NOTICE
Never insert the tester probes into the cou-
pler terminal slots. Always insert the probes
from the opposite end “a” of the coupler,
taking care not to loosen or damage the
leads.
ECA
NOTICE
For waterproof couplers, never insert the
tester probes directly into the coupler.
When performing any checks using a water-
proof coupler, use the specified test har-
ness or a suitable commercially available
test harness.
