Safety Precautions
If special testing equipment is required during a road test, note the following:
WARNING:
Improperly secured testing and measuring equipment and distraction during a road test increase the risk of an accident.
The passenger airbag could pose a risk if it deploys in a collision.
- Operating testing equipment while driving causes it to shift position.
- There is an increased risk of injury due to unsecured testing equipment.
- Always secure testers on the rear seat with a strap and have a second person on the rear seat operate them.
To reduce the risk of personal injury and/or damage to the fuel injection and ignition system, always observe the following:
- Do not touch or remove ignition wires when the engine is running or turning at starter speed.
- Always switch ignition off before disconnecting or reconnecting wires for the ignition system, including high voltage wiring and test leads.
- If the engine is to be cranked at starting RPM without starting, disconnect the connectors from the ignition coils and fuel injectors.
- Cleaning the engine should only be performed with ignition switched off.
