Function requirements for ignition ON, general points 

Ignition ON, general points 

For ignition ON, the engine control in the ME-SFI [ME] control (N3/10) is switched on and the engine prepared for starting.

Ignition ON function sequence 

When the ignition is switched on, the EIS control unit (N73) connects the on-board voltage from "tml. 30" to "tml. 15" through the terminal 15 relay (N10/1kD). If voltage is present at ME-SFI control unit "tml. 15", engine terminal 87 relay (N10/1kC) is actuated with a ground signal.

This causes the relay to close its power contact and, depending on the corresponding electrical fuses, voltage is connected from "tml. 30" as "tml. 87 M1" to the control unit ME and as "tml. 87 M1/2" to the corresponding sensors and actuators of the engine control.

If voltage is present at "tml. 87 M1", the engine control is switched on and an output stage driver in the ME-SFI control unit takes over actuation of the engine terminal 87 relay.

The "tml. 31" ground connection runs from the on-board electrical system battery (G1) through battery ground (W10) and several ground lines to the electronic ground (LH footwell) (W34/1).

Switching on of the ME-SFI [ME] control unit causes the following functions to be executed:

The following partial functions which are active for ignition ON are described in the following documents:
