ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM

a. Before removing SFI wiring connectors, terminals, etc., first disconnect the power by either turning the ignition switch OFF or disconnecting the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery.

HINT: Always check the diagnostic trouble code before disconnecting the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery.
