Ignition and High Voltage Components
Ignition and high voltage componentsSwitch 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.
CAUTION: Because of the fire hazard avoid sparking when working on the fuel system, especially when checking the injectors.
