Never work on injection system withengine running or within 30 secondsafter shutting off engine. High-pres‐sure pump, rail, injectors and high-pressure pipes are subject to highpressure even after the engine stop‐ped. The fuel jet produced by fuelleaks may cause serious injury, if ittouches the body. People usingpacemakers should not move than30 cm closer to the ECU or wiringharness within the engine roomwhile engine is running, since the
