Wearers of surgically implanted Switch -off ignition prior to making any connection or maker devices should not be in close disconnection in the system as electrical surge proximity to ignition circuits or diagnostic caused by disconnecting live connections can equipment. damage electronic components. Polarity Never reverse connect the vehicle battery and can cause tracking or high -resistance contacts. always observe the correct polarity when connecting test equipment. High voltage circuits Whenever disconnecting live high tension circuits always use insulated pliers and never allow the open end of a high tension lead to come into contact with other components particularly electronic control units. Exercise caution when measuring the voltage on the coil terminals while the engine is running, since, high voltage spikes can occur on these terminals. Connectors and harness Always ensure that these items are dry and oil free before disconnecting and connecting test equipment. Never force connectors apart either by using tools or by pulling on the wiring harness. Always ensure locking tabs are disengaged before removal and note orientation to enable correct reconnection. Ensure that any protective covers and substances are replaced if disturbed. Having confirmed a component to be faulty switch -off the ignition and disconnect the battery. Remove the component and support the disconnected harness. When replacing the component keep oily hands away from electrical connection areas and push connectors home until any locking tabs fully engage. Ensure hands and work surfaces are clean and free of grease, swarf, etc. as grease collects dirt which When handling printed circuit boards, treat them as you would a hi -fi record - hold by the edges only. Prior to commencing a test, and periodically during a test, touch a good earth, for instance, a cigar lighter socket, to discharge body static as some electronic components are vulnerable to static electricity.
