Service Cautions: Dynamometer

Cautions on chassis dynamometer use

• When inspecting and servicing the powertrain on the dynamometer or speedometer tester, pay attention to the following:
  NOTE:

  • If the engine cannot be stopped using the push button start, perform an emergency engine stop operation. (See Emergency Engine Stop Operation .)
  • Place a fan, preferably a vehicle-speed proportional type, in front of the vehicle.
  • Make sure the vehicle is in a facility with an exhaust gas ventilation system.
  • Keep the rear bumper cool by placing a cooling fan near the exhaust pipe so that the rear bumper does not get deformed by the heat from the exhaust.
  • Keep the area around the vehicle uncluttered so that heat does not build up.
  • Watch the water temperature gauge and do not overheat the engine.
  • Avoid added load to the engine and maintain normal driving conditions as much as possible.
