Precautions on Using X-431 Throttle

Before using this test equipment, please read the following safety information

carefully.

yAlways perform automotive testing in a safe environment.

yIf the diagnostic connector remains unused for a long period of time, it is

suggested to unplug the connector from vehicle’s DLC to conserve battery

power.

yWear an ANSI-approved eye shield when testing or repairing vehicles.

yThe vehicle shall be tested in a well-ventilated work area, as engines produce

various poisonous compounds (hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide, nitrogen

oxides, etc.)

yDo not connect or disconnect any test equipment while the ignition is on or

the engine is running.

yPut blocks in front of the drive wheels and never leave the vehicle unattended

while testing.

yKeep the test equipment dry, clean, free from oil, water or grease. Use a mild

detergent on a clean cloth to clear the outside of the equipment as

necessary.

yDo not drive the vehicle and operate the test equipment at the same time.

Any distraction may cause an accident.

yKeep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc. away from all moving or

hot engine parts.

yBefore starting the engine, put the gear lever in the Neutral position (for

manual transmission) or in the Park (for automatic transmission) position to

avoid injury.

yTo avoid damaging the test equipment or generating false data, please make

sure the vehicle battery is fully charged and the connection to the vehicle

DLC (Data Link Connector) is clear and secure.

yAutomotive batteries contain sulfuric acid that is harmful to skin. In operation,

direct contact with the automotive batteries should be avoided. Keep the

ignition sources away from the battery at all times.

Precautions on Operating Vehicle’s ECU

yDo not disconnect battery or any wiring cables in the vehicle when the ignition

switch is on, as this could avoid damage to the sensors or the ECU.

yDo not place any magnetic objects near the ECU. Disconnect the power

supply to the ECU before performing any welding operations on the vehicle.

X-431 Throttle User Manual

yUse extreme caution when performing any operations near the ECU or

sensors. Ground yourself when you disassemble PROM, otherwise ECU and

sensors can be damaged by static electricity.

yWhen reconnecting the ECU harness connector, be sure it is attached firmly,

otherwise electronic elements, such as ICs inside the ECU, can be damaged.
