6 - Cautions and Notices
Work Stall Test Caution
Caution: One or more of the following guidelines
may apply when performing specific required tests
in the work stall:
• When
a
test requires spinning the drive
wheels with the vehicle jacked up, adhere to
the following precautions:
- Do not exceed 56 km/h (35 mph) when
spinning one drive wheel with the
other drive Wheel stopped. This limit is
necessary because the speedometer
indicates only one-half the actual vehicle
speed under these conditions. Personal
injury may result from excessive
wheel spinning.
If all of the drive wheels are spinning at
the same speed, do not exceed 112 km/h
(70 mph). Personal injury may result
from excessive wheel spinning.
All persons should stay clear of the
rotating components and the balance
weight areas in order to avoid possible
personal injury.
- When running an engine in the repair stall
for an extended period of time, use care
not to overheat the engine and the
transmission.
• When
a
test requires jacking up the vehicle
and running with the wheels and brake
rotors removed, adhere to the following
precautions:
- Support the suspension of all drive
wheels at normal ride height.
- Do not apply the brake with the brake
rotors removed.
- Do not place the transmission in PARK
with the drive wheels still spinning.
- Turn Off the ignition in order to stop the
powertrain components from spinning.
Defective Scan Tool Notice
Notice: Do not use a scan tool that displays faulty
data. Report the scan tool problem to the
manufacturer. Use of a faulty scan tool can result in
misdiagnosis and unnecessary parts replacement.
Preface
Fastener Notice
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct
location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct
part number for that application. Fasteners requiring
replacement or fasteners requiring the use of
thread locking compound or sealant are identified in
the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubrican1s, or
corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint
surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect
fastener torque and joint clamping force and may
damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening
sequence and specifications when installing fasteners
in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
Fuel Pressure Notice
Notice: Do not allow the fuel pressure to exceed !he
specified value because damage to the fuel
pressure regulator or the fuel pressure gauge may
result.
Handling ESD Sensitive Parts Notice
Notice: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage
many solid-state electrical components. ESD
susceptible components may or may not be labeled
with the ESD symbol. Handle all electrical components
carefully. Use the following precautions in order to
avoid ESD damage:
• Touch a metal ground point in order to remove
your body's static charge before servicing any
electronic component; especially after sliding
across the vehicle seat.
• Do not touch exposed terminals. Terminals may
connect to circuits susceptible the ESD damage.
• Do not allow tools to contact exposed terminals
when servicing connectors.
• Do not remove components from their protective
packaging until required to do so.
• Avoid the following actions unless required by the
diagnostic procedure:
- Jumpering or grounding of the components
or connectors.
- Connecting test equipment probes to
components or connectors. Connect
the ground lead first when using test probes.
• Ground the protective packaging of any
component before opening. Do not rest solid-state
components on metal workbenches, or on top
of TVs, radios, or other electrical devices.
