Before proceeding with diagnosis, the following precautions must be followed:
- Vehicle must have a fully charged battery and functional charging system.
- Visually inspect connectors and circuit wiring being worked on.
- DO NOT disconnect battery or ECU. This will erase any fault codes stored in ECU.
- DO NOT cause short circuits when performing electrical tests.
This will set additional fault codes, making diagnosis of original problem more difficult.
- DO NOT use a test light in place of a voltmeter.
- When checking for spark, ensure coil wire is NO more than 1/4" from ground. If coil wire is more than 1/4" from ground, damage to vehicle electronics and/or ECU may result.
- DO NOT prolong testing of fuel injectors. Engine may hydrostatically (liquid) lock.
- When a vehicle has multiple fault codes, always repair lowest number fault code first.
- If DRB-II is being used to diagnose system, always perform verification test after repairs are made.
