STATIC DISCHARGE
- Before handling electronic parts discharge static charges by touching ground or maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area.
- Never touch control unit connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components on the control unit circuit board.
TESTING
- When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector disconnect harness connector with the ignition OFF then turn ignition ON as necessary.
- To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors do not probe terminals directly. Instead insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.
CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE
- Do not try to disassemble the control unit.
- Before performing electrical welding disconnect the battery, climate control, injection, cruise control, control unit, and radio.
- If temperatures may exceed 80°C (176°F) remove all control units.
- Avoid getting water on any fuel and engine control system components.
- Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

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