- CAUTION:
- During Active Test mode, engine speed becomes high and combustion noise becomes loud, so pay attention.
- During Active Test mode, fuel becomes high-pressured. Be extremely careful not to expose your eyes, hands, or body to escaped fuel.
Check that there are no leaks from any part of the fuel system when the engine is stopped. If there is fuel leakage, repair or replace parts as necessary.
Start the engine and check that there are no leaks from any part of the fuel system. If there is fuel leakage, repair or replace parts as necessary.
