Observe the following general precautions during any ABS/TCS/VSES
service. Failure to adhere to these precautions may result in ABS/TCS/VSES
system damage.
| • | Disconnect the EBCM harness connector before performing electric
welding procedures. |
| • | Carefully note the routing of the ABS/TCS/VSES wiring and wiring
components during removal. The ABS/TCS/VSES components are extremely sensitive
to EMI (electromagnetic interference). Proper mounting is critical during
component service. |
| • | Disconnect the EBCM connector with the ignition OFF. |
| • | Do not attempt to repair the BPMV or any other non serviceable
ABS/TCS/VSES components where noted in this section. Many ABS/TCS/VSES 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 EBCM 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. |
| • | After service, inspect the ABS/TCS/VSES system using a scan tool. |
