Safety Precautions
CAUTION!
• Certainly you have received an electrical shock once before when touching something made out of metal. The reason for this is the electrostatic charge of the human body. This charge can lead to functional problems by touching the electrical components of the transmission and selector lever mechanism. Touch a grounded object, e.g. a water pipe or a hoist, before working on the electrical components!
• Do not make direct contact on electrical harness connector terminals!
• Always switch ignition off before disconnecting or connecting Battery (A), failure to do so may damage the Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) Mechatronic (J743).
• If special testing equipment is required during road test, note the following:
• Test equipment must always be secured to the rear seat and operated by a second person.
If test and measuring equipment is operated from the passenger seat, the person seated could be injured in the event of an accident involving deployment of the passenger-side airbag.
The use of nails, paper clips, or another unauthorized materials to back-probe electrical harness connectors is strictly prohibited and may cause damage to the electrical harness connectors, terminal ends or damage to a component. Use only the manufacturers test lead kit or an equivalent aftermarket test lead kit for back-probing all electrical harness connectors.
