Notes and Important Messages
Notes
A NOTE provides helpful information such as additional explanations, tips, and comments.
Example:
Note: In general, vehicle identification numbers are standardized - all contain 17 characters. VIN characters may
be capital letters A through Z and numbers 1 through 0; however, the letters I, O and Q are never used in order to
avoid mistakes of misreading. No signs or spaces are allowed in the VIN.
Warning
WArNINg
indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury to
the operator or to bystanders.
Example:
Warning: Retrieving and using DTCs for troubleshooting vehicle operation is only one part of an overall
diagnostic strategy. Never replace a part based only on the DTC definition. Each DTC has a set of testing procedures,
instructions and flow charts that must be followed to confirm the location of the problem. This information can be
found in the vehicle’s service manual.
Danger
DANGER indicates an imminently or potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury to the operator or to bystanders.
Example:
Danger: If you must drive the vehicle in order to perform a troubleshooting procedure, always have a second
person help you. Trying to drive and operate the diagnostic tool at the same time is dangerous, and could cause a
serious traffic accident.
