CAUTION
[a] The ignition must be "OFF," when disconnecting or reconnecting the control module connector, to prevent internal damage to the control module.

[b] To prevent possible Electrostatic Discharge to the control module, Do NOT touch the connector pins or soldered components on the circuit boards.

NOTE When replacing a production control module with a service controller, transfer the broadcast code and production control module part number to the controller label. DO NOT record information on the access cover.
