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 the ignition coils with power output stages when the engine is running or turning at starting speed.

Only disconnect and reconnect wires for the injection and ignition system, including test leads, when the ignition is turned off.

If special testing equipment is required during a road test, note the following:

Test and measuring instruments must be secured to the rear seat and operated by a second person from this location.

If the vehicle is involved in a collision while the testing and measuring equipment is operated from the front passenger seat, the person sitting in that seat could be seriously injured when the airbag deploys.
