Safety instructions for working on the ignition system

The legislator classifies the ignition system as dangerous equipment. Therefore, during all work on the ignition system, you must observe special safety measures. For example, heart pacemakers can malfunction when working on the ignition system. To be sure that you are not in danger, it is better to have your Ford workshop perform work on the electronic ignition system. However, you must also be especially careful during maintenance work.

With the ignition on, in no case do not touch the conductive parts of the primary and secondary windings - this is life threatening.

Always switch off the ignition for all maintenance work. This applies equally to changing spark plugs, as well as connecting and disconnecting electrical wires or connecting control devices.

With the ignition on, the shaking of the car is enough to cause a high voltage pulse. In this case, you are in danger under the hood of the car, in addition, elements of the ignition system may be destroyed.

When doing electric welding on your Focus, always disconnect both battery terminals first.
