Testing Hall sender -G163

Special tools and workshop equipment required
Fitting location => Fitting locations overview, Page 24-5 The Hall sender indicates the ignition position for Cylinder 1. If the Hall sender fails to function, the knock control is switched off and the ignition timing is retarded slightly because the signals can no longer be assigned to the cylinders. Even without a signal from the Hall sender the engine will continue to run and can also be re-started.
