Safety Precautions

Safety precautions - 5 Spd. Automatic Transmission 01V

If special testing equipment is required during test drive, note the following:

WARNING:
^ Always secure test and measuring instruments to the rear seat and have it operated by a second person from that location.
^ If test and measuring equipment is operated from the passenger seat, the passenger-side airbag could be activated in case of an accident and could lead to injury to the person sitting there.

To reduce the risk of personal injury and/or damage of electric and electronic components, always observe the following:

^ Always switch the ignition off before connecting or disconnecting testers or measurement tools.
^ It is possible that the control module will recognize a malfunction and store a DTC during some tests. After completing all tests and repairs, check DTC memory and erase the memory.
^ Always switch ignition off before disconnecting and connecting the battery to avoid damaging the transmission control module.
