(4) Check that the VSC TRAC warning light blinks.
(5) After the measurement, remove the SST and re-
start the engine. At this time, make sure that the
VSC TRAC warning light is off.
(b) Notice in VSC operation.
(1) Removal and reinstallation of VSC±related compo-
nents may cause misadjustment of them. Do not re-
move or reinstall them unless necessary.
(2) When conducting VSC±related operations, do not
fail to make sure that the preparation and the finish-
ing of the operation are all performed in accordance
with the direction in this text.
3. FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A CATALYTIC CONVERTER
CAUTION:
If a large amount of unburned gasoline flows into the converter, it may overheat and create a fire haz-
ard. To prevent this, observe the following precautions and explain them to your customer.
(a) Use only unleaded gasoline.
(b) Avoid prolonged idling.
Avoid running the engine at idle speed for more than 20 minutes.
(c) Avoid spark jump test.
(1) Perform spark jump test only when absolutely necessary. Perform this test as rapidly as possible.
(2) While testing, never race the engine.
(d) Avoid prolonged engine compression measurement.
Engine compression tests must be done as rapidly as possible.
(e) Do not run engine when fuel tank is nearly empty.
This may cause the engine to misfire and create an extra load on the converter.
(f) Avoid coasting with ignition turned off.
(g) Do not dispose of used catalyst along with parts contaminated with gasoline or oil.
4. IF VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
For vehicles with mobile communication systems such as two±way radios and cellular telephones, observe
the following precautions.
(1) Install the antenna as far as possible away from the ECU and sensors of the vehicle's electronic
system.
(2) Install the antenna feeder at least 20 cm (7.87 in.) away from the ECU and sensors of the ve-
hicle's electronic systems. For details about ECU and sensor locations, refer to the section on
the applicable component.
(3) Do not wind the antenna feeder together with the other wiring as much as possible, also avoid
running the antenna feeder parallel with other wire harness.
(4) Check that the antenna and feeder are correctly adjusted.
(5) Do not install powerful mobile communication system.
