Diagrams of electrical equipment of the car are given at the end of the book.
Warnings: Carry out any work on the vehicle's electrical equipment only with the battery disconnected.
Disconnect or connect the battery only when the ignition is off.
When checking the circuits of electrical equipment, it is forbidden to short to «mass» wires (check the continuity of the circuits «for a spark»), as this can lead to failure of electrical components. It is forbidden to use fuses that are not provided for by the vehicle design or designed for a higher current, and also to use wire instead of fuses.
When replacing fuses, do not use screwdrivers, as this can lead to a short circuit in the electrical circuits.
It is forbidden to disconnect the battery while the engine is running in order to avoid damage to the voltage regulator and elements of the vehicle's electronic equipment.
When carrying out electric welding work on a car, it is necessary to disconnect the wires from the terminals of the battery, generator and electronic control unit. Regularly clean the battery terminals and cable lugs from oxides and dirt.
