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.

ECA
NOTICE
Handle electrical components with special 
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.
