- Persons with heart pacemakers must not carry out any work on the ignition system.
- Switch off ignition before carrying out any work on the ignition system.
- When working on the engine when it is running or rotating at starter speed, do not touch or remove any components of the ignition system.

- Unplug crankshaft position sensor connector at the control module or at position sensor.
- Do not install any electric conducting, uninsulated adapters or sensors into the ignition cable.
