To reduce the risk of personal injury and/or
damage of electric and electronic
components, always observe the following:

Always switch the ignition off before connecting
or disconnecting testers or measurement tools.
It is possible that the control module will
recognize a malfunction and store a DTC during
some tests. After completing all tests and
repairs, check DTC memory and erase the
memory.
Always switch ignition off before disconnecting
and connecting the battery to avoid damaging
the transmission control module.
