5. Tighten the securing screws to 9-11 Nm. Tighten in the
sequence indicated.

6. Reposition the clips which secure the engine harness to the
cam cover.
7. Refit the on-plug ignition coils and the coil cover. Refer to
Operation 18.20.41.
8. Refit the right hand engine cover.
9. Remove the paintwork protection sheets and close the engine
compartment.

CAUTI
ON: When probing connectors to take
measurements in the course of the pinpoint tests, use the adaptor kit,
part number 3548-1358-00.
• NOTE: When performing electrical voltag e or resistance tests, always use a digital multimeter (DMM) accurate to 3
decimal places, and with an up-t o-date calibration certificate. When testing resistance, always take the resistance of the
DMM leads into account.
• NOTE: Check and rectify basic faults before beginning diagnostic ro utines involving pinpoint tests.
