A. Precaution when using drum tester:
When using a drum tester, make sure that the ignition switch is OFF, start the engine with the diagnosis connector short-circuited between Ts and E1 (CG) and take a measurement.
NOTE: - Check that VSC warning light is blinking.
- Ensure that the vehicle does not move using wires.
- After the measurement, disconnect the short circuit and check that the VSC warning light is turned off when restarting the engine.
B. Precaution during VSC operation:
1. Since VSC may be affected by the removal/installation of the VSC-related parts, do not remove/install those parts unless absolutely necessary.
2. When operating on VSC, follow the instructions in the manual to surely make preparations or check after operations.
