SAFETY FIRST! 

 

This manual describes common test procedures used 
by experienced service technicians. Many test procedures 
require precautions to avoid accidents that can result in 
personal injury, and/or damage to your vehicle or test 
equipment. Always read your vehicle's service manual and 
follow its safety precautions before and during any test or 
service procedure. 

ALWAYS

 observe the following general 

safety precautions: 

When an engine is running, it produces carbon monoxide, 
a toxic and poisonous gas. To prevent serious injury or 
death from carbon monoxide poisoning, operate the 
vehicle 

ONLY

 in a 

well-ventilated

 area. 

To protect your eyes from propelled objects as well as hot 
or caustic liquids, 

always

 wear 

approved

 safety eye 

protection. 

When an engine is running, many parts (such as the 
coolant fan, pulleys, fan belt etc.) turn at high speed. To 
avoid serious injury, always be aware of moving parts. 
Keep a safe distance from these parts as well as other 
potentially moving objects. 

Engine parts become very hot when the engine is running. 
To prevent severe burns, avoid contact with hot engine 
parts. 

Before starting an engine for testing or troubleshooting, 
make sure the parking brake is engaged. Put the 
transmission in 

park

 (for automatic transmission) or 

neutral

 (for manual transmission). Block the drive wheels 

with suitable blocks. 

Connecting or disconnecting test equipment when the 
ignition is 

ON

 can damage test equipment and the 

vehicle's electronic components. Turn the ignition 

OFF

 

before connecting the diagnostic tool to or disconnecting 
the diagnostic tool from the vehicle’s Data Link Connector 
(DLC). 

To avoid personal injury, instrument damage and/or 

damage to your vehicle; do not use the diagnostic tool 

before reading this manual.
