1)      Check an correct integrator voltage (nominal value: 6,0 + 0,5 V)

2)     Vehicle is equipped with electronic self-diagnosis. Checking of ignition timing, idle speed and, on vehicles with catalytic converter, CO content, is not necessary.

3)     With diagnostic switch KM-640 in position B or TECH 1 in mode "F6".

4)     With activated CO enrichment.

5)      Up to MY'89 1/2: 890 - 990.
