DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Health and Safety Precautions
Introduction
Many of the procedures associated with vehicle
maintenance and repair involve physical hazards
or other risks to health. This subsection lists,
alphabetically, some of these hazardous operations
and the materials and equipment associated with
them. Precautions necessary to avoid these
hazards are identified.
The list is not exhaustive and all operations and
procedures, and the handling of materials, should
be carried out with health and safety in mind.
Before using any product the Materials Safety Data
Sheet supplied by the manufacturer or supplier
should be consulted.
Acids and Alkalis
See also Battery Acids.
For example caustic soda, sulphuric acid.
Used in batteries and cleaning materials.
Irritant and corrosive to the skin, eyes, nose and
throat. Cause burns. Can destroy ordinary
protective clothing.
Avoid splashes to the skin, eyes and clothing. Wear
suitable protective impervious apron, gloves and
goggles. Do not breath mists.
Make sure access to eye wash bottles, shower and
soap are readily available for splashing accidents.
Display Eye Hazard sign.
Air Bags

policy.
Used as a safety restraint system mounted in the
steering wheel and passenger side of the instrument panel.
The inflator contains a high-energetic propellant
which, when ignited, produces a VERY HOT GAS
(2500°C).
The gas
generant used in air bags is Sodium Azide.
This material is hermetically sealed in the module
and is completely consumed during deployment.
No attempt should be made to open an air bag inflator
as this will lead to the risk of exposure to
( '.
Sodium Azide. If a gas generator is ruptured, full
protective clothing should be worn when dealing
with the spillage.
After normal deployment, gloves and safety goggles must be worn during the handling process.
Deployed air bags should be disposed of in a
plastic bag in accordance with local regulations at
an approved chemical waste site.
Following any direct contact with gas generant.
- wash affected areas thoroughly with water.
- seek medical assistance if necessary.
Air Bags
- Do's
- Do store modules in an upright position.
- Do keep modules dry.
- Do carry modules with the cover side pointing
away from the body.
- Do place modules with their cover side upwards.
- Do carefully inspect modules for damage.
- Do stand to one side when connecting modules.
- Do make sure all test equipment is properly
calibrated and maintained.
- Do wash hands after handling deployed air
bags.
Air Bags
- Do Nots
- Do not store highly flammable material together
with modules or gas generators.
- Do not store gas generators at temperatures
exceeding 80°C.
- Do not store modules upside down.
- Do not attempt to open a gas generator housing.
- Do not expose gas generators to open flame or

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The flame is bright, and eye protection should be - used, but the ultra-violet emission is much less
than that from arc welding, and lighter filters may
be used.
The process itself produces few toxic fumes, but
such fumes and gases may be produced from
coatings on the work, particularly during cutting
away of damaged body parts, and inhalation of the
fumes should be avoided.
In brazing, toxic fumes may be produced from the
metals in the brazing rod, and a severe hazard
may arise if brazing rods containing cadmium are
used. In this event particular care must be taken

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
RPM - engine speed
i DSRPM - desired engine speed
The IAT sensor output is useful if the engine being
tested is cold or after an over-night cold soak. The
ECT sensor or CHT sensor and the IAT sensor
should either indicate the same value or be within
1 to 2 degrees Celsius of each other.
The ECT sensor output is important to display as
it indicates the engine warm-up and opening
temperature for the thermostat. It will initially
indicate a slightly higher reading just before the
thermostat opens and then drops back before
settling to a near flat line output (see graphic
below).

B Thermostat settles into a cyclic open and
I I closure pattern
A CAUTI0N:lf the ECT sensor output reaches
the
120°C default line under normal cooling
system pressure, internal damage may be
caused to the engine and a diagnostic
trouble code (DTC) will be set in the PCM.
The test should be stopped and the cause
located and corrected. If the cooling
system does not pressurize, the coolant
will boil at
100°C which may also damage
the engine. CARRY OUT the Coolant

If the WDS only allows the ECT sensor to be
displayed in volts, refer to the following table for
corresponding Celsius values:

The CHT sensor output is useful to examine the
cylinder head temperature rise during the warm-up
cycle and later during the normal light throttle cruise
test. This sensor output may vary between vehicles
with manual transmission and vehicles with
automatic transmission and should be used for
reference only.

The VSS output is used for reference but can help
to identify misfires and sensors which fail during
the warm-up cycle.
The RPM display indicates the engine speed and can be compared with the DSRPM.
The DSRPM is the desired or calculated idle speed
which the PCM commands the engine to reach. If
the thermostat opens too early (before the correct
opening temperature has been reached), the
engine will not reach this value.
When using the WDS in data logger mode, the
signals recorded should remain within the
DEFAULT values set by the WDS.
3m AWARNING:M~~~ sure that the WDS is
placed in the vehicle so that it does not
interfere with the safe operation of the
vehicle. Do not place the WDS in the
deployment path of any air bag. Failure to
follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
N0TE:The road test is best carried out with the
aid of another technician in the vehicle to enable
the vehicle to be driven safely while the sensor
outputs are monitored within datalogger. If there
is only one technician available, the WDS can be
set up (using the

Electronic Engine Controls
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
(Brake Pedal Position) BPP switch
APP sensor
There are two brake pedal switches at the pedal
box: the brake lamp switch and the BPP switch.
The brake lamp switch only serves to switch on
the brake lamps. The BPP switch is used for engine
management purposes.
The BPP switch provides the PCM with the
information that the vehicle will be decelerated.
The BPP switch is closed in the rest state (brake
pedal not depressed) and sends a ground signal
to the PCM.
If when the APP sensor has failed, the BPP is
operated, the engine will be controlled to run at
idle speed by the PCM.
In order that the engine power output can be
matched to that required by the driver, the PCM
needs to know the position of the APP sensor.
The APP sensor is a variable resistor whose
resistance varies with the accelerator position. It
is a sliding contact potentiometer
(2 potentiometers
in total).
If a fault occurs in the APP sensor or the throttle
control unit (TCU) during vehicle operation, then
this will be
briefly indicated by a digital display in
the instrument cluster after the ignition is switched
on, and a trouble code will be stored in the PCM.
