Safety precautions

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 pull off ignition wires when
engine is running or turning at starting RPM.
Always switch ignition off before disconnecting
or reconnecting wires for the injection and
ignition system, including high voltage wiring
and test leads.
If engine is to be cranked at starting RPM
without starting (e.g. for compression testing),
disconnect connector from ignition coils and
from fuel injectors.
It is possible that the control module will
recognize a malfunction and store a DTC during
some tests. After completing all tests and
repairs, DTC memory should therefore be
checked and erased if necessary. Readiness
code must be generated after DTC memory is
erased Page 01

.

Always switch ignition off before cleaning
engine.
