The following are general cautions which should be observed when servicing the ABS system and/or other vehicle systems. Failure to observe these precautions may result in ABS System component damage:
CAUTION:
- Use only factory wiring harnesses. Do not cut or splice wiring to the brake circuits. The addition of after-market electrical equipment (car phone, radar detector, citizen band radio, trailer lighting, trailer brakes, etc.) on a vehicle equipped with antilock brakes may affect the function of the antilock brake system.
- Use only Mopar brake fluid or an equivalent from a tightly sealed container. Brake fluid must conform to DOT 3 specifications. Do not use petroleum-based fluid because seal damage in the brake system will result.
- Certain components of the ABS system are not intended to be serviced individually. Attempting to remove or disconnect certain system components may result in improper system operation. Only those components with approved removal and installation procedures should be serviced.
- Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces. If brake fluid is spilled on any painted surfaces, wash off with water immediately.
- If welding work is to be performed on the vehicle, using an electric arc welder, the CAB connector should be disconnected during the welding operation.
- The CAB 60 way connector or the HCU 10 and 6 way connectors should never be connected or disconnected with the ignition switch in the ON position.
- Before disconnecting any control module, make sure the ignition is "off". Failure to do so could damage the module.
- When testing voltage or continuity at any module, use the terminal side (not the wire end) of the connector. Do not probe a wire through the insulation; this will damage it and eventually cause it to fail because of corrosion.
- Be careful when performing electrical tests so as to prevent accidental shorting of terminals. Such mistakes can damage fuses or components. Also, a second diagnostic trouble code could be set, making diagnosis of the original problem more difficult.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- β’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- β’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- β’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- β’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- β’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
