Notice: When handling electronic parts identified as ESD sensitive, you should observe
the following guidelines. These guidelines reduce possible electrostatic charge build-up
from your body and from electronic parts in the Saturn retail facility.
Handling ESD-Sensitive Parts Notice (6756)
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage solid-state electrical components.
ESD-susceptible components may or may not be labeled with the ESD symbol. Handle all
electrical components carefully. Use the following precautions in order to avoid ESD
damage:
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
to 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.
Not all parts that can be damaged by an electrostatic discharge have an ESD
label. Components that can be damaged by an electrostatic discharge are:
• | Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) |
• | Powertrain Control Module (PCM) |
• | Audio System Components |
• | Electronic Brake/Traction Control Module (EBTCM) |
• | Electronic Ignition (EI) Module |
• | Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) |
• | Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Transmitter (internal circuit board only). |
• | Body Control Module (BCM) |
• | Engine Control Module (ECM) |
• | Transmission Control Module (TCM) |
