Observe the following general precautions during any ABS/TCS/ICCS
service. Failure to adhere to these precautions may result in ABS/TCS/ICCS
system damage.
| • | Unplug the EBTCM harness connector before performing electric
welding procedures. |
| • | Carefully note the routing of the ABS/TCS/ICCS wiring and wiring
components during removal. The ABS/TCS/ICCS components are extremely sensitive
to EMI (electromagnetic interference). Proper mounting is critical during
component service. |
| • | Do not use a quick charger for engine starting or for battery
charging with the battery still connected. Brake failure or ABS/TCS component
damage may result. |
| • | Disconnect the battery with the ignition OFF. |
| • | Disconnect the EBTCM connector with the ignition OFF. |
| • | Do not attempt to repair the BPMV or any other non serviceable
ABS/TCS/ICCS components where noted in this section. Many ABS/TCS/ICCS components
are serviceable by component replacement only. |
| • | Do not hang the suspension components from the wheel speed sensor
cables. The cables may be damaged. |
| • | Do not subject the EBTCM to temperatures of more than 85°C
(184°F). |
| • | Do not use petroleum based fluids in the master cylinder. Do not
use any containers previously used for petroleum based fluids. Petroleum causes
swelling and distortion of the rubber components in the hydraulic brake
system, resulting in water entering the system and lowering the fluid boiling
point. |
| • | Inspect the ABS/TCS/ICCS system after service using a scan tool. |
