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 connecting or disconnecting injection or ignition system wiring or tester cables.
  • ◆ If the engine is to be turned at starter speed, without starting, e.g. when checking compressions, pull connector off output stage:
 
N28-0145
  • ‒ → Pull 4 pin connector -1- off output stage for ignition coils -2-.
 
N24-0588
  • ‒ → Remove fuse 32

Note:

Removing fuse 32 interrupts the voltage supply to the injectors.

Observe following if test and measuring instruments are required during a test drive:

  • ◆ Test and measuring instruments must be secured to rear seat and operated by a 2nd person from this location.
  • If test and measuring instruments are operated from front passenger's seat and the vehicle is involved in an accident, there is a possibility that the person sitting in this seat may receive serious injuries when the airbag is triggered.
