Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
KOEO Self-Test
Ensure engine is at normal operating temperature. If engine does not start (or stalls after starting), continue KOEO SELF-TEST.
Perform the following step(s) as applicable:
- On gasoline vehicles, DO NOTΒ depress throttle.
- On vehicles with Brake On/Off circuit, apply and release brake pedal after vehicle ID code is given.
- On vehicles with Power Steering Pressure (PSP) switch, turn steering wheel 1/2 turn and release after vehicle ID code is given.
