^ Do not use a fast charger for starting the engine.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable when fast charging. Never disconnect the battery from the vehicle electrical system while the engine is running. Connect all wiring harness connectors securely.
^ Proper speed sensor wiring, routing and retaining are necessary in order to prevent false signals due to electrical noise. You can achieve proper system operation only by restoring the system to its original condition. When servicing the ABS, note the routing, position, mounting and locations of the following items:
- All components
- The wiring
- The connectors
- The clips
- The brackets
- The brake pipes

Follow the above mentioned precautions when working on ABS. Familiarize yourself with ABS and it relationships with other components on the vehicle.

BATTERY DISCONNECT CAUTION
Caution: Before servicing any electrical component, the ignition key must be in the OFF or LOCK position and all electrical loads must be OFF, unless instructed otherwise in these procedures. If a tool or equipment could easily come in contact with a live exposed electrical terminal, also disconnect the negative battery cable. Failure to follow these precautions may cause personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.
