If special testing equipment is required during road test, note the following:
WARNING:
Distraction and improperly secured test equipment can lead to accidents.
There is a risk that the passenger airbag could deploy in a collision.
- Operating testing and measuring equipment while driving creates a distraction.
- There is an increased risk of injury due to unsecured testing and measuring equipment.
- Always secure testers on the rear seat with a strap and have a second person on the rear seat operate them.
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 remove ignition wires when engine is running or turning at starter speed.
- Always switch ignition off before disconnecting or reconnecting wires for the ignition system, including high voltage wiring and test leads.
- If engine is to be cranked at starting RPM without starting, disconnect the connectors from the ignition coils and fuel injectors. After performing work, check and erase DTC memory.
- Cleaning the engine should only be performed with ignition switched off.
- The battery must only be disconnected and connected with the ignition is switched off, since the Engine Control Module (ECM) can otherwise be damaged.
