Ignition System: Service Precautions



Safety Precautions

To reduce the risk of personal injury and/or damage to the fuel injection and ignition system, always observe the following:
- Do not touch or disconnect ignition wires when engine is running or turning at starting RPM.
- Always switch ignition off before disconnecting or reconnecting wires for the ignition system, including high voltage wiring and test leads.
- It is possible that the control module will recognize a malfunction and store a DTC during some tests. After completing all tests and repairs, DTC memory should therefore be checked and erased if necessary. Readiness code must be generated after DTC memory is erased.
- Always switch ignition off before cleaning engine.
