WARNING Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury or possible death. Check the Technical Bulletins for information, cautions and warnings that may supersede or supplement any information included in this manual. When performing the drive cycle operation, pay strict attention to driving conditions and observe and obey all posted speed limits. Test equipment must always be secured to the rear seat and operated by a second person. If test and measuring equipment is operated from the passenger seat, the person seated could be injured in the event of an accident involving deployment of the passenger-side airbag. The fuel system is under pressure! Before opening the fuel system, place rags around the connection area. Then release pressure by carefully loosening the connection. The engine section of the fuel system, after the high pressure pump, is under extremely high pressure! When working on en‐ gine or fuel injection system, fuel pressure must be relieved to residual pressure before opening high pressure components. Refer to the Service Manual for the proper procedure. If the battery has not been disconnected, the fuel pump fuse must be removed before opening the fuel supply system as the fuel pump may be activated by the driver's door contact switch. Testing of the EVAP and ORVR systems can result in the es‐ cape of explosive fuel vapor. Do not smoke while testing the EVAP system, and make sure the area you are working in is well ventilated. Observe the following for all procedures, especially in the en‐ gine compartment due to lack of room: ♦ Route lines of all types (e.g. for fuel, hydraulic, EVAP can‐ ister system, coolant and refrigerant, brake fluid, vacuum) and electrical wiring so that the original path is followed. ♦ Watch for sufficient clearance to all moving or hot com‐ ponents. ♦ Do not touch or disconnect the Ignition Coils, ignition wires, connecting parts or adapter cables when the igni‐ tion is on or the engine is running or turning at starting RPM. ♦ Only disconnect and reconnect wires for injection and ig‐ nition system, including test leads, when the ignition is turned off. When removing and installing components from full or partially full fuel tanks, observe the following: ♦ The fuel tank must only be partially full. How much fuel can remain in the fuel tank may be read in the respective work description. Empty the fuel tank if necessary. R8 2008 ➤ Generic Scan Tool - Edition 08.2015 2 Rep.

If no exhaust extraction system is available, a radial fan (as long as motor is not in air flow) with a displacement greater than 15 m 3 /h can be used. ♦ Prevent fuel from contacting the skin. Wear fuel-resistant gloves! When servicing the engine control module (ECM), it may be necessary to use a heat gun. The heat gun, shear bolts, and parts of the protective housing will become extremely hot. Use extreme caution when working with or handling these parts to avoid personal injury. Observe operating instructions when working with a heat gun. To prevent damage (burning) to the wiring and harness con‐ nections, insulation and the electronic components, perform outlined work steps exactly! The cooling system is under pressure. To avoid scalding, use caution when opening the cooling system and servicing cooling system components! Caution The battery must only be disconnected and connected with the ignition switched off. Otherwise, the engine control module (ECM) can be damaged. The use of nails, paper clips, or another unauthorized materials to back-probe electrical harness connectors is strictly prohibi‐ ted and may cause damage to the electrical harness connec‐ tors, terminal ends or to a component. Use only the manufacturers test lead kit or an equivalent aftermarket test lead kit for back-probing all electrical harness connectors. Do not use sealants containing silicone. Particles of silicone drawn into the engine, will not be burnt in the engine and will damage the oxygen sensors. Secure all hose connections with the correct hose clips (the same as original equipment). If engine is to be cranked without starting, for example as part of a compression test, remove the fuses for the voltage supply of Ignition Coils and the fuel injector. An electrostatic charge can lead to functional problems of elec‐ trical components of the engine, transmission and selector lever mechanism. Touch a grounded object, e.g. a water pipe or a hoist, before working on electrical components. Do not make direct contact with electrical harness connector terminals. Use only gold-plated terminals when servicing any component with gold-plated electrical harness connector terminals. 1.2 Clean Working Conditions Even minor contaminations can lead to malfunctions in the fuel injection system. When working on the fuel supply/injection sys‐ tem, pay careful attention to the following rules of cleanliness: ♦ Thoroughly clean all connections and the surrounding area before disconnecting.

Use lint- free cloths. ♦ Carefully cover opened components or seal, if repairs are not performed immediately. ♦ When the system is open, do not work with compressed air. Do not move vehicle unless absolutely necessary. ♦ Install clean components: Remove the parts being replaced immediately prior to installation of the new parts. Do not use parts that have been stored unpacked (e.g. in tool boxes etc.). ♦ Electrical connectors that have been disconnected: Protect from dirt and moisture. Make sure connections are clean and dry when reconnecting. 1.3 High Voltage System General Warnings Before performing any work on the high voltage system, always check with the importer if there are any questions regarding the terms “technician trained in electrical systems”, “high voltage technician”, “high voltage expert”, “high voltage systems”, or “hy‐ brid systems”. Qualifications necessary for most of these terms are also provided below ⇒ page 9 .
