Communication Equipment Precaution
IF VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH MOBILE RADIO SYSTEM(HAM, CB, ETC.):
The ECM has been designed so that it will not be affected by outside interference. However, if your vehicle is equipped with a CB radio transceiver, etc. (even one with about 10 Watt output), it may, at times, have an affect upon ECM operation, especially if the antenna and feeder are installed nearby. Therefore, observe these precautions:
1. Install the antenna as far away as possible from the ECM. The ECM is located on the partition panel into the rear luggage compartment so the antenna should be installed at the rear side of the vehicle.
2. Keep the antenna feeder as far away as possible from the ECM wires-at least 20 cm (7.87 in) and, especially, do not wind them together.
3. Check that the feeder and antenna are properly adjusted.
4. Do not equip your vehicle with a powerful mobile radio system.
5. Do not open the cover or the case of the ECM unles absolutely necessary.
- If the IC terminals are touched the IC may be destroyed by static electricity.
