Vehicle Damage Warnings
WARNING:
- Persons with heart pacemakers should never perform work on the ignition system.
- Conductive parts of the ignition system are under high voltage. Never touch conductive parts when the ignition is switched ON, when the engine is being cranked by hand or with the starter or when the engine is running.
- Electronic ignition systems operate in a dangerously high voltage range on the low voltage side (primary circuit) as well as on the high voltage side (spark circuit). Due to the high voltages in electronic ignition systems contact with parts or terminals under power can be lethal.
- If it is necessary to switch ON the ignition for work on the ignition system, dangerous high voltage is present in the entire ignition system. Never install intermediate pieces or built-in sensors with bare metal outer surfaces in the ignition lines.
CAUTION: Always switch OFF the ignition when working on the ignition system, e.g.:
- Replacing ignition system components
- Connecting engine test instruments
- Connecting removed assemblies for testing on test benches
