Testing ignition system
Safety precautions
To prevent injuries to persons and/or damage to the fuel injection and ignition system, the following must be noted:
-
◆ Do not touch or disconnect ignition wiring when the engine is running or being turned at starter speed.
-
◆ The ignition must be switched off before disconnecting or connecting ignition system wiring and high-voltage cables for test instruments.
-
◆ In order to run the engine at starting speed without actually starting it (for example, to test compression), unplug the connectors on the ignition coils and also the connectors on the injectors. After completing the work, interrogate and erase the fault memory.
-
◆ The ignition must always be switched off when cleaning the engine.
-
◆ Always switch off the ignition before connecting or disconnecting the battery, otherwise the engine control unit may be damaged.
