Observe the following general precautions during any ABS/ETS
service. Failure to adhere to these precautions may result in ABS/ETS system
damage.
| • | Disconnect the EBCM harness connector before performing electric
welding procedures. |
| • | Carefully note the routing of the ABS/ETS wiring and wiring components
during removal. The ABS/ETS 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/ETS component
damage may result. |
| • | Disconnect the battery with the ignition OFF. |
| • | Disconnect the EBCM connector with the ignition OFF. |
| • | Do not attempt to repair the BPMV or any other non serviceable
ABS/ETS components where noted in this section. Many ABS/ETS components are
serviceable by component replacement only. |
| • | Do not hang the suspension components from the wheel speed sensor
wiring. The wiring 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. |
| • | Inspect the ABS/ETS system after service using a scan tool. |
