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.
- Because of the fire hazard avoid sparking when working on the fuel system, especially when checking the injectors.
