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.

read all of the information in this section before using the tool.

DANGER

• When an engine is operating, keep the service area well-ventilated or attach

a building exhaust removal system to the engine exhaust system. Engines

produce various poisonous compounds (hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide,

nitrogen oxides, etc.) that cause slower reaction time and result in death or

serious personal injury.

• Please use the included battery and power adaptor. Risk of explosion if the

battery is replaced with an incorrect type.

• DO NOT attempt to operate the tool while driving the vehicle. Have second

personal operate the tool. Any distraction may cause an accident.

WARNING

 Always perform automotive testing in a safe environment.

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

the engine is running.

 Before 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.

 NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine. Do

not operate the tool in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of

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

while testing.

 Use extreme caution when working around the ignition coil, distributor cap,

LAUNCH X-431 Torque 5 User Manual

ignition wires and spark plugs. These components create hazardous voltage

when the engine is running.

 To avoid damaging the tool 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.

 Automotive 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.

 Keep the tool dry, clean, free from oil, water or grease. Use a mild detergent

internal repairs must be done by an authorized repair facility or qualified

technician. If there is any inquiry, please contact the dealer.

 Keep the tool far away from magnetic devices because its radiations can

damage the screen and erase the data stored on the tool.

 Do not attempt to replace the internal rechargeable lithium battery. Contact

the dealer for factory replacement.

 Do 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.

 Do not place any magnetic objects near the ECU. Disconnect the power

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

 Use 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.

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

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