   • Touch a metal ground point in order to remove your body's static charge before servicing any electronic component; especially after sliding across the vehicle seat.
   • Do not touch exposed terminals. Terminals may connect to circuits susceptible the ESD damage.
   • Do not allow tools to contact exposed terminals when servicing connectors.
   • Do not remove components from their protective packaging until required to do so.
   • Avoid the following actions unless required by the diagnostic procedure:
      - Jumpering or grounding of the components or connectors.
      - Connecting test equipment probes to components or connectors. Connect the ground lead first when using test probes.
   • Ground the protective packaging of any component before opening. Do not rest solid-state components on metal workbenches, or on top of TVs, radios, or other electrical devices.
