5.0 DISCLAIMERS, SAFETY, WARNINGS
5.1 Disclaimers
All information, illustrations, and specifications contained in this manual are based on the latest
information available at the time of publication. The right is reserved to make changes at any time
without notice.
5.2 Safety
5.2.1 Technician Safety Information
WARNING!!Engines produce carbon monoxide that is odorless, causes slower reaction time,
and can lead to serious injury. When the engine is operating, keep service areas WELL
VENTILATED or attach the vehicle exhaust system to the shop exhaust removal system.
Set the parking brake and block the wheels before testing or repairing the vehicle. It is especially
important to block the wheels on front-wheel drive vehicles; the parking brake does not hold the
drive wheels.
When servicing a vehicle, always wear eye protection, and remove any metal jewelry such as
watchbands or bracelets that might make an inadvertent electrical contact.
When diagnosing a powertrain system problem, it is important to follow approved procedures
where applicable. These procedures can be found in the service manual. Following these
procedures is very important to the safety of individuals performing diagnostic tests.
5.2.2 Vehicle Preparation for Testing
Make sure the vehicle being tested has a fully charged battery. If it does not, false diagnostic
codes or error messages may occur.
5.2.3 Servicing Sub-Assemblies
Some components of the powertrain system are intended to be serviced in assembly only.
Attempting to remove or repair certain system sub-components may result in personal injury
and/or improper system operation. Only those components with approved repair and installation
procedures in the service manual should be serviced.
5.2.4 DRBIIITSafety Information
WARNING: Exceeding the limits of the DRB multimeter is dangerous. It can expose you to
serious or possibly fatal injury. Carefully read and understand the cautions and the
specification limits.
²Follow the vehicle manufacturer's service specifications at all times.
²Do not use the DRB if it has been damaged.
²Do not use the test leads if the insulation is damaged or if metal is exposed.
²To avoid electrical shock, do not touch the test leads, tips, or the circuit being tested.
