Safety measures

WARNING!

Be alert when working on or near the engine.

High ignition secondary voltage can cause
serious personal injury and damage vehicle
components.

DO NOT touch or disconnect ignition system

wires when the engine is running or being
cranked at starting RPM.

DO NOT operate the starter if the fuel

injectors have been removed.

Be sure the ignition is switched OFF, when:

Disconnecting ignition wires

Disconnecting fuel injection system wiring

Connecting or disconnecting test equipment

leads

Disconnecting the battery

Washing the engine or engine

compartment.

Multiport Fuel Injection (MFI) system, servicing Page 9 of 13

BEFORE cranking the engine at starting RPM

(such as for compression testing) disable the
ignition and fuel injection systems:

Disconnect the ignition coil power output

stage.

Disconnect harness connectors from all fuel

injectors.

After the work is completed, erase

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory.

CAUTION!

BEFORE disconnecting the battery:

Stop the engine.

Be sure the ignition is switched OFF (also

applies when connecting the battery). Failure
to do so may damage the Engine Control
Module (ECM).

Be sure of the proper radio code (for vehicles

equipped with coded anti-theft radio).

Be sure the battery negative (-) cable is

disconnected, when:

Working on the electrical system

Resistance (spot) welding or electric arc

welding anywhere on the vehicle.

When connecting and disconnecting

electrical test equipment (LED voltage tester,
multimeter, etc.):

Be sure the ignition is switched OFF.

Use correct adapters from the VW 1594

connector test kit.

For any work affecting the Engine Control

Module (ECM):

BEFORE disconnecting the ECM harness

connector, switch the ignition OFF and WAIT
at least 20 seconds. Failure to do so may
damage the ECM.

DO NOT connect any outside voltage source

to stimulate an output signal at the ECM.

Rules of cleanliness

CAUTION!

Whenever carrying out work on the fuel

supply and fuel injection systems, carefully
observe the following five rules of
cleanliness.

1 - Thoroughly clean fuel system line and hose

connections and the surrounding area before
disconnecting.

2 - Place removed components on a clean

surface and cover. Use plastic sheeting or paper.
Do not use fluffy rags that could leave lint!

3 - Carefully cover over or seal any components

that have been opened if repairs are not carried
out immediately.

4 - Install only clean parts:

Do not remove replacement parts from the

packaging until immediately before they are to
be installed.

Do not use parts that have been stored without

packaging (e.g. in toolboxes, etc.).

5 - When the fuel system is opened:

Avoid working with compressed air whenever

possible.

Avoid moving the vehicle if possible.
