Attention! Before servicing the components of the on-board electrical equipment systems, familiarize yourself with the safety requirements for working with electrical devices.
The vehicle is equipped with a 12-volt on-board power supply system with negative grounding. Power is supplied to lighting fixtures and other consumers from a lead-acid battery, which is recharged by an alternator.
This Chapter describes the repair and maintenance procedures for electrical components installed on the vehicle that are not directly related to engine operation. Information on servicing such components as the battery, distributor, alternator, and starter is provided in Chapter Engine electrical equipment, dedicated to the engine's electrical equipment.
Before servicing on-board electrical components, to avoid electrical shock or fire from an accidental short circuit, disconnect the negative battery cable. Regularly inspect the condition of the wiring harnesses and the reliability of their fastening in intermediate clamps, clamps and strapping. Make sure that the insulation of the wires does not rub off when in contact with adjacent components.
Warning! The models of vehicles covered in this manual are equipped with a supplemental restraint system (SRS). Before performing any work near the air bag unit, steering column or instrument panel, turn off the SRS to avoid injury from accidental deployment (see section Airbags - General Information). The SRS circuit wiring is easily identified by the yellow color of the insulation.
