Handling control modules
Handling control modules |
• |
Avoid unplugging or removing the control module unless absolutely necessary.
|
• |
Never touch the connector pins and never place the control module in such a way that the connector pins may come into contact with foreign objects.
|
• |
Before a new control module is unpacked, ground the wrapping to the chassis of the car and open the packaging as shortly as possible before fitting the control module in place.
|
• |
When working with control modules it is important to ground yourself from time to time. This is particularly important when you have been sitting in the car, when adopting a different position or moving round the car. It is even more important in conditions of extremely dry air (e.g. during the winter in cold-climate markets).
|
• |
Avoid wearing clothes made of synthetic (man-made) fibres.
|
• |
Avoid wearing shoes with insulating rubber soles.
|
• |
Always handle control modules that are suspected of being faulty in the same manner as a control module in perfect working order. This will substantially increase the possibility of determining the cause of the fault.
