Hyundai Tiburon (2003 year). Manual — part 5

2. Attach the wiring harnesses with clamps so that there is no slack. However, for any harness which passes the engine or other

vibrating parts of the vehicle, allow some slack within a range that does not allow the engine vibrations to cause the harness to
come into contact with any of the surrounding parts and then secure the harness by using a clamp.

3. If any section of a wiring harness interferes with the edge of a parts, or a corner, wrap the section of the harness with tape or

something similar in order to protect it from damage.

4. When installing any parts, be careful not to pinch or damage any of the wiring harness.

5. Never throw relays, sensors or electrical parts, or expose them to strong shock.

6. The electronic parts used in the computer, relays, etc. are readily damaged by heat. If there is a need for service operations that

may cause the temperature to exceed 80°C (176°F), r emove the electronic parts beforehand.

7. Loose connectors cause problems. Make sure that the connectors are always securely fastened.

8. When disconnecting a connector, be sure to grip only the connector, not the wires.

9. Disconnect connector which have catches by pressing in the direction of the arrows shown in the illustration.

10. Connect connectors which have catches by inserting the connectors until they make a clicking sound.

11. When using a circuit tester to check continuity or voltage on connector terminals, insert the test probe into the harness side. If the

connector is a sealed connector, insert the test probe through the hole in the rubber cap until contacts the terminal, being careful
not to damage the insulation of the wires.

12. To avoid overloading the wiring, take the electrical current load of the optional equipment into consideration, and determine the

appropriate wire size.

PRECAUTIONS FOR CATALYTIC CONVERTER

If a large amount of unburned gasoline flows into the converter, it may overheat and create a fire hazard. To prevent this
observe the following precations and explain them to your customer.

1. Use only unleaded gasoline.

2. Do not run the engine while the car is at rest for a long time. Avoid running the engine at fast idle for more than 10minutes and idle

speed for more than 20 minutes.

3. Avoid start-jump tests. Do start-jumps only when absolutely necessary. Perform this test as rapidly as possible and, while testing,

never race the engine.

4. Do not measure engine compression for an extended time. Engine compression tests must be made as rapidly as possible.

5. Avoid coasting with the ignition turned off and during prolonged braking.

6. Do not dispose of used catalytic converter with parts contaminated by gasoline or oil.
