Powertrain Management: Service Precautions

^ Block the drive wheels, as a safety routine, before beginning any service with the vehicle on the ground.

^ Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Use jackstands, on a flat and level hard surface, for safe support.

^ Always wear appropriate eye protection.

^ Use caution when working near the catalytic converter to prevent the possibility of burns. The temperatures within the converter can exceed 1200°F.
