Ignition System: Service Precautions

Safety Precautions

To prevent injuries to persons and/or damage to the fuel injection and ignition system, the following must be noted:


WARNING!
When doing any repair work, especially in the engine well, due to the cramped conditions, pay attention to the following:
- Route all sorts of pipes (e.g. for fuel, hydraulics, EVAP system, coolant, refrigerant, brake fluid and vacuum lines and hoses) and electrical wiring so that the original positions are restored.
- Ensure sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components.


- 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 compression's, pull connector off output stage;







- Pull all 4 pin connectors -2- off ignition coils -1-.







- 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.
