Safety precautions
 
     
Observe following precautions if test and 
measuring instruments are required during a 
road test:  
     
WARNING! 
     
During a road test in an airbag equipped 
vehicle, test equipment must always be 
fastened to and operated from the rear seat 
by a second technician. 
     When driving or riding in an airbag equipped 
vehicle, NEVER hold the scan tool or other 
test equipment in your hands or lap while in 
motion. Objects between you and and the 
airbag increase the risk of injury in an 
accident. 
     
To prevent injuries to persons and/or damage 
to the fuel injection and ignition system, the 
following must be noted: 
     Always switch off the ignition before 
connecting or disconnecting injection or 
ignition system wiring or tester cables.

Fire hazard! Do not smoke, work near 
heaters or open flame, or have anything 
nearby that could ignite fuel. The fuel system 
is pressurized. Before loosening hose 
connections or opening the test connection 
(to measure fuel pressure), place a cloth 
around the connection. Then release 
pressure by carefully opening the 
connection.

CAUTION! 
     
To operate the engine at starter speed 
without actually starting it (for example, in 
order to test compression), unplug the 
connectors from the output stages for the 
ignition coils and also the connectors on the 
injectors. 
     During some of the tests the control module 
may identify and record malfunctions. The 
DTC memory should therefore be checked 
and (if necessary) erased after completing 
the tests and any repair work that may be 
required. After erasing DTC memory 
generate new readiness code   Page 01

 . 
     
Always switch off the ignition before 
cleaning the engine. 
     Always switch off the ignition before 
connecting or disconnecting the battery, 
otherwise the engine control module may be 
damaged. 
     Be sure of proper radio code (for vehicles 
equipped with coded anti-theft radio) 
     
Be sure the battery negative (-) cable is

Working on the electrical system.
     
When connecting and disconnecting 
electrical test equipment (LED voltage tester, 
multimeter, etc.): 
     Be sure the ignition is switched OFF.
     Use correct adapters from the VAG1594 
connector test kit.

Rules for cleanliness
 
     
When working on the fuel supply/injection 
system, pay careful attention to the 6 
following rules for cleanliness:  
     
Thoroughly clean all connections and the 
adjacent areas before disconnecting. 
     Place parts that have been removed on a clean 
surface and cover them over. Do not use fluffy 
cloths. 
     Carefully cover or seal opened components if 
the repair cannot be completed immediately. 
     Only install clean components: Only unpack 
replacement parts immediately prior to 
installation. Do not use parts that have been 
stored loose (e.g. in tool boxes etc.). 
     When the fuel system is open: Do not work with 
compressed air if this can be avoided. Do not 
move vehicle unless absolutely necessary. 
     Disconnected electrical connectors: Keep clean 
and dry. Connect only when dry.
