Safety Precautions

To reduce the risk of personal injury and/or damage to the fuel injection and ignition system, always observe the following:

CAUTION!

• Route lines of all types (e.g. for fuel, hydraulic, EVAP canister system, coolant and refrigerant, brake fluid, vacuum) and electrical wiring so that the original path is followed.

• Watch for sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components.

• Fuel system is under pressure! Before opening system, place rags around the connection point. Then release pressure by carefully loosening connection.

• Test equipment must always be secured to the rear seat and operated by a second person.

• Test and measuring equipment that is operated from the passenger seat, the person seated could be injured in the event of an accident involving deployment of the passenger-side airbag.

• Do not touch or disconnect ignition wires when engine is running or turning at starting RPM.

• Only disconnect and reconnect wires for injection and ignition system, including test leads, if the ignition is turned off.

• The use of nails, paper clips, or another unauthorized materials to back-probe electrical harness connectors is strictly prohibited and may cause damage to the electrical harness connectors, terminal ends or damage to a component. Use only the manufacturers test lead kit or an equivalent aftermarket test lead kit for back-probing all electrical harness connectors.
