Safety precautions
 
      If special testing equipment is required during 
road test, note the following:  
     
WARNING! 
     
Test equipment must always be secured to 
the rear seat and operated from there by a 
second person. 
     If test and measuring equipment is operated 
from the passenger seat, the person seated 
there could be injured in the event of an 
accident involving deployment of the 
passenger-side airbag. 
      To reduce the risk of personal injury and/or 
damage to the fuel injection and ignition system, 
always observe the following:  
     Only disconnect and reconnect wires for 
injection and ignition system, including test 
leads, when ignition is turned off. 
     If engine is to be cranked at starting RPM 
without starting (e.g. for compression testing),

It is possible that the control module will 
recognize a malfunction and store a DTC during 
some tests. After completing all tests and 
repairs, DTC memory should therefore be 
checked and erased if necessary. Readiness 
code must be generated after DTC memory is 
erased  Page 01

 . 
     
Always switch ignition off before cleaning 
engine. 
     The battery should only be disconnected and 
reconnected when the ignition is turned off, 
since otherwise the Engine Control Module 
(ECM) can be damaged. 
     
WARNING! 
     
Fuel system is under pressure! Before 
opening system, place rags around the 
connection point. Then release pressure by 
carefully loosening connection.
