Ignition System: 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.
