PRECAUTIONS FOR TESTING

2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.
3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.
4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.
5. Do not apply battery voltage to any of the Engine Control Module (ECM)
pins (or wires connected to them) which supply the ground to any relays or actuators.
