Safety precautions


If special testing equipment is required
during test drive, note the following:

WARNING!

Always secure test and measuring
instruments to the rear seat and have it
operated by a second person from that
location.
If test and measuring equipment is operated
from the passenger seat, the passenger-side
airbag could be activated in case of an

To reduce the risk of personal injury and/or
damage of electric and electronic
components, always observe the following:

Always switch the ignition off before connecting
or disconnecting testers or measurement tools.
It is possible that the control module will
recognize a malfunction and store a DTC during
some tests. After completing all tests and
repairs, check DTC memory and erase the
memory.
Always switch ignition off before disconnecting
and connecting the battery to avoid damaging
the transmission control module.
