Automobile Inspection Notes
Should operate the machine according to safety rules in auto repair i ndustry. Special attentions should be
pa i d in order to prevent the machine from being a ffected or damaged because of the environmental
fa ctors such as the s urrounding pH, poison gas, high pressure, heavy objects, etc.;
Vehi cle battery fl uid contains sulfuric acid, while sulfuric acid is corrosive to the skin. Therefore, in
ope ration you s hould protect your skin from directly contacting with battery fluid. Particularly, ma ke sure
tha t they won’t s plash into your eyes. You should also avoid cl osing to fire;
Engine exhaust emissions contains a variety of toxic compounds, so you should protect yourself from
inhaling them. During operating, the vehicle s hould be parked in a well-ventilated place;
The temperature of the working engine is high, so you should protect yourself from contacting with high
temperature components such as water tank and exhaust pipes;
Before starting the engine, you s hould hold the handbrake and have gear lever placed i n neutral (Guide
trans mission)or P gear position (automatic transmission), so as to avoid the vehicle rushing out and result
in accidents when you start the engine;
Before repairing the vehicles, you should hold parking brake well, shift transmission gear into the neutral
pos ition or P gear, and lower the glass doors and windows on the driver's seat side;

Fi nd the diagnostic socket of this car, a nd check, confirm that whether the wires of the diagnostic s ocket
are i n good condition, and then connect the main unit for diagnosis. Otherwise, do not test, a nd a void
da mage to the main unit. If necessary, you can usea multimeter to measure the voltage of diagnostic
socket.
Instrument Use Notes
When you use FCAR series products for testing, you must handle it with care a nd keep them away from
heat source and electromagnetic field, so as to avoid interference with the main unit.
When electrical components are energized, you cannot disconnect the ci rcuit to prevent the
self-inductance, mutual inductance from attacking s ensors and automotive ECU.
When electrical equipment works normally, you should avoid putting magnetic objects close to the
vehi cle control unit, otherwise the vehicle control unit may be damaged.
