1. Safety Precautions and Warnings
To prevent personal injury or damage to vehicles and/or the code
reader, read this instruction manual first and observe the
following safety precautions at a minimum whenever working on
a vehicle:
zAlways perform automotive testing in a safe environment.
zWear safety eye protection that meets ANSI standards.
zKeep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc. away
from all moving or hot engine parts.
zOperate the vehicle in a well ventilated work area: Exhaust
gases are poisonous.
zPut blocks in front of the drive wheels and never leave the
vehicle unattended while running tests.
zUse extreme caution when working around the ignition coil,
distributor cap, ignition wires and spark plugs. These
components create hazardous voltages when the engine is
running.
zPut the transmission in PARK (for automatic transmission) or
NEUTRAL (for manual transmission) and make sure the
parking brake is engaged.
zKeep a fire extinguisher suitable for gasoline/chemical/
electrical fires nearby.
zDon’t connect or disconnect any test equipment while the
ignition is on or the engine is running.
zKeep the TPMS tool dry, clean, free from oil/water or grease.
Use a mild detergent on a clean cloth to clean the outside of the
code reader, when necessary.
