Electrical System, General Repair Measures

CAUTION:
- Always refer to and heed CAUTION! and WARNING! texts associated with repair and/or removal and installation information in the repair procedures.
- Only the yellow repair cables and insulation tape supplied with VAS 1978 are to be used for wiring/connector repairs. The use of yellow repair wires and yellow insulation tape identifies that a repair has taken place.
- Before beginning wiring and connector repairs, determine and rectify the cause of damage, Eg.: pinched between metal parts, malfunctioning electrical consumers, corrosion due to water ingress etc.
- Avoid loosening or removing any individual ground connections (potential for corrosion).
- When repairs are completed, always perform a functional check of the component or system. Where applicable, check and erase Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and set basic setting.
