8.3.2 Handling of electronic parts
In the electronic control systems-equipped vehicle,
multi-way connectors suited for weak current of such
electronic parts and circuits as sensors, control units
and actuators are used. When handling these
connectors, use particular care in the following
respects.
• Do not disjoin and rejoin connectors unless
necessary. Connector pins could be deformed or
damaged, resulting in poor contact.
• Disjoin connectors holding their housings. Pulling
by cable or by force may deform connector pins.
• When disjoining connectors, do not let water, oil or
dust adhere to their pin, or poor contact or
unsteady continuity could result.
• Join connectors firmly after completion of work.
When a harness is removed for servicing, restore it
firmly to the original place after work.
• Use of electronic equipment, such as relays,
solenoid valves and motors, for installation on the
vehicle body is limited to those incorporating diode
or varister noise absorbing elements.

To prevent damage or fire of battery-related parts,
observe the following precautions when handling the

• When performing a quick charge of the battery, be
sure first to disconnect the battery cables from (+)
