Vehicle Damage Warnings

NOTICE: When installing the ABS/ETS wiring harness, make sure that the ignition is off and that all connectors are securely connected. This will prevent damage to system components, and prevent system malfunctions.

NOTICE: Always connect or disconnect the wiring harness connector from the EBCM/EBTCM with the ignition switch in the OFF position. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to the EBCM/EBTCM.

NOTICE: DOT 5 silicone brake fluid should never be used in the ABS Brake System. Excessive wear of brake components and other conditions can occur from using DOT 5 silicone brake fluid.

NOTICE: The use of rubber hoses or parts other than those specified for the Antilock Brake System (ABS) may lead to functional problems requiring replacement of the hydraulic parts. Replace all components included in repair kits used to service this system. Lubricate rubber parts with clean, fresh, approved brake fluid to ease assembly. Do not use lubricated shop air on brake parts, as damage to rubber components may result. If any hydraulic component is removed or brake line disconnected, it may be necessary to bleed all or part of the brake system. The fastener tightening specifications listed are for dry, unlubricated fasteners.

NOTICE: Always use the correct fastener in the correct location. When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part number for that application. the manufacturer will call out those fasteners that require a replacement after removal. the manufacturer will also call out the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplemental coatings (paints, greases, or other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and joint clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following these instructions can help avoid damage to parts and systems.

NOTICE: Do not touch the electrical connections and pins, or allow them to come in contact with brake fluid, as this will damage the EBCM/EBTCM.
