Ignition System: Service Precautions

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 RPM.

• Only disconnect and reconnect wires for the injection and ignition system, including test leads, if 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 test and measuring instruments are operated from the front passenger seat and the vehicle is involved in an accident, there is a possibility that the person sitting in this seat may receive serious injuries when the airbag is triggered.
