Risk of equipment or circuit damage.

•Unless specifically directed by the manufacturer, make sure the ignition is OFF before connecting or disconnect- ing connectors or any vehicle electrical terminals.

•Do not create a short between battery terminals with a

jumper wire or tools.

Improper equipment use can cause equipment or circuit dam- age.

Misdiagnosis may lead to incorrect or improper repair and/or adjustment.

Do not rely on erratic, questionable, or obviously erroneous test information or results. If test information or results are erratic, questionable, or obviously erroneous, make sure that all connections and data entry information are correct and that the test procedure was performed correctly. If test information or results are still suspicious, do not use them for diagnosis.

Improper repair and/or adjustment may cause vehicle or equip- ment damage or unsafe operation.

Some vehicles are equipped with air bags. You must follow vehicle service manual’s warnings when working around the air bag components or wiring. If the service manual’s instruc- tions are not followed, the air bag may open up unexpectedly, resulting in personal injury. Note that the air bag can still open up several minutes after the ignition key is off (or even if the vehicle battery is disconnected) because of a special energy reserve module.
