Starting and Charging: Service Precautions
Ignition And High Voltage Components
Switch Off The Ignition Before:
- Connecting and disconnecting the test instruments
- Connecting and disconnecting the connectors
- Taking readings using an ohmmeter.
High Voltage
There are dangerous voltages at all points in the ignition system, including the connectors etc.
WARNING: The ignition system operates at high power and voltages. Contact with the high tension circuit-the ignition coil, spark plug caps and distributor cap-is dangerous.
CAUTION: Because of the fire hazard avoid sparking when working on the fuel system, especially when checking the injectors.
