General notes to ignition system
  • ◆ Only the components which specifically relate to the ignition system are dealt with here. For the other components of the injection and ignition system => Repair group 24.
  • ◆ Disconnecting and connecting the battery must only be done with the ignition switched off, otherwise the engine control unit could be damaged.
  • ◆ The engine control unit is equipped with self diagnosis.
  • ◆ Components marked with * are checked via the self diagnosis
    , interrogating and erasing fault memory.
  • ◆ For trouble-free operation of the electrical components a voltage of at least 11.5 V is necessary.
  • ◆ During some checks it is possible that the control unit will recognise and store a fault. Therefore after completing all checks and repairs the fault memory must be interrogated and if necessary erased.
